"Hey babe" Paul says, giving Nina a chaste kiss as he walks into his apartment, not at all surprised to see his girlfriend lounging on his couch and scrolling through her laptop.
"Hey" She blushes, still not used to the lovely pet names and sweet kisses.
Things have been going extremely well for Nina, in terms with Paul. All though things on set are not quite the most amusing time, it's a relief to know that after work is done, she gets to see Paul and forget about all the tension that's been created.
Her interactions with Ian are completely awkward, cringing at only the mere thought that they have a boat load of intimate scenes. Ones of which Paul isn't ever present for. After Paul told her that he announced their relationship to him, it's kind of floated the boat between where the brunette stands with her fellow co-worker/ex-boyfriend.
"How'd making out and getting semi-naked with you ex- I mean current boyfriend go?" Paul teases, making his way into the kitchen and preparing to cook.
Nina frowns, not liking one bit of that sentence. "Don't tease me. You know I'd much rather it be you." She says, throwing a pillow that supported her back straight at him. With failure, she missed.
"Nice aim baby" Paul says back, a smirk surfacing to his face.
She proceeds into the kitchen where her boyfriend is occupied with peeling potatoes. "I would have offered my assistance, but because you're a meanie you don't deserve my help."
"Oh, thank god. I don't want to get any food poisoning. Christmas is around the corner and I need to look my best." Paul sarcastically comments.
"I'll have you know my cooking skills are impeccable." She defends herself, nudging his arm and making him lose a little bit of balance.
"Speaking of Christmas though, look what I got." She says, running into the bedroom quickly and dashing out with a little gift bag.
Paul's eyebrows furrow in confusion. "What's in the bag? I thought we weren't giving each other presents this ye-"
He didn't get to finish his sentence because before he knows it, he's interrupted by Nina's sudden burst of energy.
"Ta-da!" Nina exclaims, pulling out what seems to be a christmas pet sweater "I got it for Cat and Lynx! They'll have matching sweaters Paul! How cute is this!?"
"So cute, I think I want to vomit rainbows and fairies." He exclaims back, mimicking Nina's voice.
"Ugh! Stop mocking me! These are cute, I picked them out for a reason." Nina frowns, in the verge of just walking away until Paul grabs her arm gently and spins her around.
"Hey, hey. I was only teasing you Neens, I do actually think they're cute, if you tell anyone though I'll deny it." He says, lifting his eyebrows at the last sentence.
"Good, I'm glad I'm not a disappointing girlfriend." She says, relaxing into him as Paul snakes his arms around her waist.
