IVY'S POV
*i wake up at 6:00am and rub my eyes as i get out of bed. i have a presentation in language arts today and i'm going to be graded on what i wear. i walk into the bathroom and turn on the shower. the water heats up while i undress and wash my face. i get in the shower and wash my hair with coconut shampoo. i then rinse my body with my strawberry body wash and turn the water off. i wrap a towel around my hair before wrapping one around my body and getting out of the shower. i do my skincare routine and curl my hair before brushing my teeth. then, i find a pair of dress shoes and jeans along with a button up top. i put my clothes and shoes on before going to the kitchen with my bag and phone. i facetime joey as i start to eat breakfast and he answers on the fourth ring.*
ivy- good morning baby
joey- good morning princess
ivy- how did you sleep?
joey- good, how did you sleep?
ivy- it was okay. i'm just stressing about my presentation
joey- you're doing it after class right?
ivy- yeah but it's still nerve-racking
joey- i know it is baby. you're going to do great though, i promise you
ivy- i just want this week to be over already
joey- me too love. then i can kiss you whenever i want
ivy- i can't wait
*i smile big, causing joey to smile back and i finish eating my cereal. i rinse out my bowl and say bye to joey. i grab my board for my presentation and walk to my language arts class. i sit down in the back of the room and take out a piece of paper to grade everyone that presents. i set up the paper and the teacher calls the first person up. she presented about how her writing has changed a lot throughout her college career and she chose to take a writing major.*
{ time skip: 2 hours later }
*eventually, the whole class had presented and the bell just rang to get out of class. i pack up my bag slowly since i'm staying here and a few minutes later, everyone is finally gone. i carry my board up to the front of the classroom and the teacher sits at her desk.*
teacher- ivy, you may start whenever you want
ivy- thank you
*i take a deep breath and start explaining my
project.*
ivy- i've always loved art ever since i was a little girl. i must admit that i never got that good until my senior year of high school and that's when i really figured out that it was my passion.
*i point to one of my art pieces that is on the board and tell her that it was my first drawing that i can remember. i explain that it's from first grade and supposed to be a dog. i get through all of the pictures and end my presentation 4 minutes later.*
teacher- wow. that was really amazing ivy
ivy- thank you
teacher- i just have to say that it was one of the best in the class
*i smile and nod, acknowledging her that i thank her for the comment. she keeps my board and dismisses me from class. i walk back to my dorm with a huge smile on my face and change into sweats and a t-shirt before my phone rings. i answer the facetime call from joey and he asks how my presentation went.*
JOEY'S POV
*when ivy told me what her teacher said about her presentation, i couldn't help but have a smile break out onto my face. ivy starts giggling and i congratulate her over and over again.*
ivy- thank you again baby
joey- you're welcome. i'm just so proud of you
ivy- awh love
joey- i'm just telling you the truthh
ivy- i know you are
*i turn on some music and ivy sings along to it. i start cleaning my room while i facetime her and listen to her hum to the songs. our song starts playing and i freeze in the position i'm in. i look over at ivy and she's looking at me with tears in her eyes. i rush over to my phone and a look of concern takes over my face.*
joey- don't cry princess
ivy- i'm not trying too, it just happened
joey- everything is going to be okay. it's only 3 more days. when i finish my last exam, i'm going straight to the airport and you will see me by 2 o'clock
ivy- i know baby, i know. i just don't want to go through these last two days without you. i just want to be with you again
joey- trust me, i want to be with you too princess
*she wipes her tears and sniffles quietly. i blow her a kiss and she catches it, putting her hand on her lips. she blows one back at me and i do the same thing as her.*
ivy- thank you
joey- for what baby?
ivy- everything. you know how to calm me down when you aren't even here
joey- i'm always going to be here to help you calm down whether it's through facetime or not
ivy- i know. that's why i said thank you
joey- you're always welcome
*she giggles softly and i smile while listening to her. she tells me to go back to cleaning and starts humming to the music again. i smile to myself and think about how lucky i am to have this girl in my life.*
joey- i think about this a lot you know, i'm really lucky to have you by my side
ivy- i'm not leaving anytime soon
joey- god i hope not. i wouldn't know what to do with myself
ivy- i wouldn't know what to do either
joey- i love you baby
ivy- i love you too
*we both smile big and that's when i know even more that i found the perfect girl. she stays on facetime with me the whole time i clean my dorm and we cook dinner together while on facetime. i finally get her to go to sleep since she has her history final tomorrow and i have science. i whisper to her that i love her before hanging up since she fell asleep while talking to me.*
