<completed>Promise (Juliantina)

They spent days, weeks and months at each other's place to study for their proficiency test and finally they passed the exam. Valentina called for a celebration and she decided to throw Jul a surprise party for the two of them. She asked some of her friends where she met at the proficiency class for help to decorate her apartment. Partly the surprise party was to celebrate them finally got together after so long.

Valentina diverted Jul's attention by asking her friends to bring her out for shopping spree meanwhile Val's friends gathered all the parties supplies and brought it to her apartment. They spent roughly half a day to get it done, now the apartment is filled with golden balloons with confetti in it, a 2-tiers pastry stand of cupcakes and desserts and alcohol punch. She promises to treat her friends to the short getaway before letting them go off, she takes the rest of remaining time to decorate the pool and room with rose petals. She still has 2 hours left before Jul's friends will bring her back so she quickly set up the dining table with cutleries and candles, she makes pasta and takes a quick shower before Jul comes back.

Just in time, Jul came back with a handful of shopping bags. She immediately heads for the couch and lies down with both of her hands stretches out dropping all the bags onto the floor. Val walks over to Jul and pecks her on the lips, she sat down on the coffee table and lifted up Jul's leg up to her thigh and removes her boots. She proceeds to massage her feet, she laughs to herself because Jul has not realized the decors in the apartment. She continued to massage Jul's feet, she seems pretty contented that her feet no longer feels the ache from the walking. She opens her eyes and saw golden balloons floating around in the living room, she quickly sit up from the couch and asks Val if she misses out anything, what are they celebrating and how come she didn't get informed of?

Val takes her hand and places kisses on them, she says it is to celebrate them for passing their proficiency exam but then Jul saw petals of roses in the pool too so she throws a wink at Val, Val giggles and covers her eyes. She shyly mumbles and says it's to celebrate them for getting together. Jul plants kisses all over Val's face and Val feels like a puppy has licked her all over the face. She pushes Jul onto the couch and sits on top of her, she stops Jul from kissing her by covering her eyes and kiss her back on the lips. She hears Jul's stomach rumbles, Jul awkwardly laughs and she asks if Val has prepared dinner for them too. Val pulls Jul to the dining table and present her the pasta that she has made beforehand, Jul also sees 2 tiers pastry stand and a big bowl of alcohol punch, she asks Val if they are celebrating them getting fat together instead of other things, Val laughed.

They sat down and ate their pasta, they discussed their day over dinner and moved over to the couch and sipped their punch. Val suggests to teach Jul the basis of swimming but Jul didn't want to. Val found it weird why Jul kept rejecting her idea, she decided not to pursue it maybe Jul will tell her in future when she feels comfortable about it. So they decided to cuddle on the couch while watching Netflix. They ate the cupcakes but there's still too many leftovers so they packed those in boxes to bring to school tomorrow for their friends to have as dessert.

Jul lets out a yawn in the midst of the movie, Val sees the wall clock and realizes it's past midnight already. Jul moves away from Val's body and stretches her body, Val switches off the TV and lead them to the bedroom, she tells Jul to take a quick shower before going to bed. Jul saw petals of roses on the bed, she chuckles into Val's neck, she thinks that Val actually can get something out of her with those romantic gestures, so not to disappoint Val, she takes Val's hand and lead them to the bathroom to shower together. They did actually shower together because they are too tired to do anything, they came out and fall flat on the bed and the petals mostly fell onto the floor from the impact. Val spoons Jul and within minutes, the both of them fell asleep and syncing their breathing.
