Ebony's POV
"What time is it, J?" I asked, setting my controller down to take a sip of my ginger ale. We had been playing Tomb Raider for the about past three hours and I was starting to get bored. Well, actually I was very frustrated, but I want to do something a bit more relaxing now, which I my way of saying I give up.
"It's 3:23." Jeremy said without looking away from the screen.
"J?" I said curiously.
"Yes, E?" He said in a mocking tone. He knows that I think it's too formal for us to always use each other's full names, but he thinks it's funny when we always address each other using our first initials. Like we're in some gossipy, girly sitcom.
"What do you think Wilson's planning for me?" I asked honestly.
"You know that neither of us have the slightest idea, so why are you still asking about it?" He responded.
"I just haven't been able to stop thinking about it. Do you think he's going to propose? No, what if he's going to break up with me? I know I shouldn't eat out so often; I'm gaining weight. He has no reason to love me, so why is he still here?" I said. I know I was over thinking it, but it's all true.
"You're an amazing person of course he loves you. He isn't going to break up with you." He said encouragingly. "Now, let's get back to Tomb Raider."
"I think I'm gonna go back home. I know he told me he wouldn't be ready till 6:00, but I just need to be with him and know that it's all okay." I said. "Bye, J. I'll text you later."
"I guess. Bye." He said sadly. Then I walked out the door and drove back home. It's only 3:40ish, but whatever he has planned doesn't matter. The fact that he was trying to do something for me is all that I care about. I love him, I just need him to remind me that he loves me, and only me.
