Love you more

In the park

Faye:

I wake up with a shrug, my head immediately starting to hurt. I sit up properly, rubbing my eyes before looking around. Giovanni isn't next to me and this alone immediately sends me into panic. "Gio?" I ask, freeing myself from the blanket I was cuddled in before literally running downstairs; not the best idea with such a bad headache but well. 

"Faye?" Giovanni asks upon seeing me running downstairs. "What's going on?"

"Nothing, I- nothing. You weren't there and I panicked, I- I'm sorry." I reply before being hugged tightly. 

"It's okay, beauty. Now I'm here." he whispers, immediately making me relax. "Hey gorgeous, I made you breakfast." he then says. "Because I'll spoil you today."

"Why? Have I done anything special? It's not my birthday or anything." I answer confused, taking a seat.

"You are special, you deserve this. Here." he smiles before passing me a piece of toast. "What else would you like? We've got fruits, waffles, juice-"

"You made this all by yourself?" I ask. "Wow. This is sweet, you're just so adorable."

"I know." he grins before placing down a plate with a proper breakfast. "Eat up and enjoy, gorgeous."

I smile at him, slowly starting to cut the waffle. "Sorry for panicking earlier. It's just- uh, I don't know either. I felt scared that you had enough of me, it's stupid I know... damn this constant confidence crisis."

"It's okay sweetie, we'll work on that I promise." Giovanni smiles. "I just will make a quick phone call, okay?" 

"Oh. Sure." I reply rather upset, slowly eating some fruits. Actually I'd hoped that we would have some time to ourselves before I'll starr working at the musical and before Giovanni will start focusing on his dance show again. But maybe I should stop thinking he would take time for me when- no. He loves me, I love him and I need to be more confident. 

I watch Giovanni taking his phone and typing a number and, much to my surprise, he keeps sitting next to me while being on the phone. He holds his phone with one hand, holding my hand with his other hand; rubbing them slowly. "Hi Aljaž, it's me." he finally says. "Yes, Faye is okay. Better than yesterday for certain. Listen I know we wanted to meet today because of the show but would it be okay if we rearrange that? Really? You're the best, thank you!" he says, his smile increasing as he ends the call. 

"What did you-"

"I took a day-off to look after you." Giovanni explains, kissing my cheek while I look at him with a surprised expression. "So what do you want to do?"

"You don't need to take a day-off for me, you-"

"But I want to. I want to care for you today and I know that you're still a bit shaken up. So just allow me to look after you." he says. I look down with a small smile, nodding. "Good. What do you want to do today?" 

I look outside, seeing the pouring rain. "Probably stay inside, for the obvious. We could just be lazy together, watching tv and stuff. Tomorrow I'm meeting with the musical crew so that seems like the perfect way to relax before work is calling back."

"If you want to relax, then we'll relax." Giovanni approves. "Do my a favour and don't overwork yourself tomorrow, okay? Think of your concussion."

"I won't overwork myself, we'll just be working on some stuff." I answer, yawning. "Sorry, haven't slept well the past few days. I'm a little bit shaken up from yesterday still." 

Instead of answering, Giovanni picks me up from the chair while carrying me to the couch. "Alright Miss, welcome to the cinema. What movie would you like to escape into?"
