IVY // T. CHALAMET

34

"I don't wanna leave," Timothée whined in Ivy's shoulder. He held his small bag in his hand and had his grey hoodie on and flipped up.

"You'll be gone for three days tops," Ivy reassured him, but it was mostly for herself. They stood in Ivy's apartment now that Ingrid and Kaia has officially moved out and Bailey would be turning 18 in two weeks then leaving for college in five months.

"I still wish you would come." He pulled away and told her. His curls flopped in his face and she brushed them away.

"I can Facetime you every night if you want. Or every hour." She said with a small laugh. The speaker in the living room was playing BROCKHAMPTON quietly in the background.

A horn honked below,"I think I can do without every hour, but I like every night." The toaster beeped and popped out a bagel.

"Okay," She gave him a kiss. "Go now or you never will end up leaving!" She told him while trying to usher him out the door. Timothée though was quickly and messily spreading cream cheese on his bagel and wrapping it in a napkin. He had cream cheese all over his fingers on his bagel hand which was holding his phone and wallet. He grabbed her waist with his other arm and kissed her neck, sucking on it. "Timothée!" She squealed, "You need to go!"

He brought his head out and the spot felt a little warm, "Now you have something to remember me by that you can't take off or leave." He competently told her with a cheeky smile.

"Timmy!" She yelled and ran to a mirror. "Okay you little shit leave now before I give you some payback." Ivy pushed him lightly toward the door.

He laughed and walked the rest of the way and opened it, "See you in 75 hours." He told her then put his lips to hers.

When she finally pulled away Ivy's chapstick was all over his face. "Then there's my memento," she finally replied.

"I love you forever."

"I love you T," She told him with tears forming in her eyes and shut the door.

Ivy sighed and flopped onto the couch. She already missed Timothée and was ready to have him back. The two hadn't been apart for five months and it was when Timothée went to Boston for two days to meet Armie.

"Bailey!" Ivy yelled into the apartment, wanting to get a hug but there was no answer.
