Love Is Love

Rolling in the deep

Lin's POV:
I awoke in the double bed by myself. Fun. After climbing downstairs I saw some roller skates on the table with a note attached:

We did your thing yesterday and now we do mine, put these on and let's go skate!
Love you lots,
Hun.

"Hun?"
"It's what you call me so I supposed it would suit the moment more."
I laughed as she got out Arabic Fattoush Salad from the fridge,
"Prepared it yesterday,"
I smiled as she and I began to tuck in till the bowl was empty to my disappointment, I can't skate. At all. I couldn't let Stacy know that though. Me and her put on our skates and I watched her get up, feet in outwards 'V' and bend your knees, got it. I followed suit and she grinned, one cool point to Lin Manuel Miranda. I watched her skate freely in our driveway as she did an impeccable turn brushing it off like it was nothing. I think I have found another of her hobbies. I stumbled towards her as she laughed skating towards me in aid, the cool points have been lost - repeat, lost.
"Not your strongest suit huh?"
"No, maybe not my area of expertise."
We both laughed as she held my hand skating to the BMX park.
"Uh, Hun, this is for BMX."
"NO! Skaters can use it too!"
She began to skate up and down the hills with occasional tricks along the way. Definite hobby. After doing a lap she returned to me smiling
"Your turn!"
"Wha-"
She pushed me down the first hill as I waved my arms frantically for balance and ended up falling backwards while she laughed at me. Minus more cool points, negative number cool points. She helped me up giving me short instructions as to how to skate: Bend low, drive forward, balance. Rocket science. Very much so. I followed what she told me carefully and, after many collisions, managed to do one hill. Just one. But it felt amazing. I see how it can be a hobby. Me and her went round and round the course until I began to get more confident and did a lap on my own, I know, very 5-year-old but I'm still proud. She taught me how to spin across corners as I ran my hands through my hair like the Grease characters eliciting a laugh at my silliness. It'll do. Next time I'll bring my grease jacket. We stayed in the skate park until lunch time when we both got hungry and searched for a nearby restaurant, in the end Stacy dragged me to this place called Brown Bag? Never heard of it.
"Okay Lin, this is where my sort of people eat."
She sounded out each syllable as if I was a five year old. Which I'm not. Wait - never mind.

Stacy's POV:
I tried to keep a straight face as Lin looked around the café acting as if he'd never seen an inexpensive restaurant before. Maybe he hasn't... I'll save that for later talk. We both sat down and Lin went all gentleman as per usual,
"Now what would you like my dearest fiancé?"
"Hmm I'm not sure..."
"Would you like me to order for you Hun?"
"I guess you should."
He nodded in determination reminding me of the first time he came into my house. How long it's been. Lin started to tap the table getting impatient for the waiter.
"Lin, there is no waiter, you go up to the till to order."
"Oh."
We both moved to get up but his gentleman side took over as he forced me to sit back down again while he ordered. A while later of uncomfortable fiddling and he returned.
"Lin?"
"Sí mi amor?"
"Why do you always take control in restaurants?"
"I was born and raised to be a gentleman where a gentleman is required."
"We do not require a gentleman though..."
He raised an eyebrow,
"What do you require Stacy?"
I flinched when he used my real name, yes it was a bit selfish, but I sort of liked the whole 'Hun' and 'Dearest' better.
"I-I mean-"
Smirking he continued
"You've seen many sides of me Stacy, but I think I know which one you want to see."
I blushed and quietly whispered
"My fiancé."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"FLIRTATIOUS FIANCÉS?!"
Lin laughed as the till worker blushed,
"Guess that's us Hun, come on then!"
I laughed at the name for our food and we both got up to collect it, I had a ham and cheese toastie while Lin had a cheese and bacon,
"How much did you pay Lin?"
"Three dollars,"
"Welcome to the middle-class life."
He laughed at my corny joke but still accepted it nonetheless,
"So what do you want to do after this Hun?"
"Well since it's my fun day I vote Truth or Dare with Jon!"
Lin laughed at the randomness of it but still texted someone called 'Daddy'. I cleared my throat and he quickly realised.
"I lost a bet so I can't change it."
He looked up to see me biting my lip to stop from laughing,
"Are you biting your lip Stacy?"
The mood changed from funny and relaxed to tense in a few seconds. I quickly blushed releasing my lip and looked down to the floor in an effort to hide my face so he couldn't make fun of it. Smirking he continued to text Jon on his phone to my relief .

Lin's POV:
God she's adorable. I texted Jon to say what happened and he simply teased me again saying I was a 'bad boy'. I lay my head on Stacy's wondering how I ever managed to deserve her.
