IVY'S POV
*i wake up in an empty bed and look around for joey. i don't see him in our bathroom so i stand up and walk downstairs to see if he's cooking or anything. i still don't see him anywhere around the house and i start getting worried. i go to lock the front door since i'm home alone but it was already locked. i scrunch my eyebrows together and walk back up to bed, grabbing my phone. i click on joey's contact and listen to the ringing noise.*
ivy- come on joey, pick up. where are you...
*he answers on the fourth ring and starts talking*
joey- hey princess, did you just wake up?
ivy- yeah. where are you? i'm scared
joey- i went out to get us something baby. i'm sorry for scaring you. i didn't mean to
ivy- it's fine.. but you didn't leave a note or even text me saying where you went..
joey- i'm sorry. i was in a rush to get here and i forgot. ill be home soon though i promise
ivy- okay.. i love you
joey- i love you more
*i hang up and toss my phone on the bed. i sigh and lay back, staring at the ceiling. i'm probably just overthinking it but he always leaves a note or a text. it feels odd but it also feels like i'm thinking too much about it. i get up again and walk into the bathroom. i turn on the shower and let the water heat up while i lock the bathroom door and undress myself. i hop into the shower, close the curtain, and start rinsing my hair with water. i hum to a song in my head and wash my hair with shampoo. i then wash my body and rinse out the conditioner i put in my hair earlier. i turn off the water and wrap a towel around my hair and body. i brush my teeth and hair. i change into black flowy shorts and a tight gray t-shirt. i walk out and sit back down in bed only to hear the door open a few seconds later.*
joey- honey i'm home!
ivy- i'm in bed mr. birlem
*i giggle at his entrance and he walks up the stairs to our bed. he's holding a paper and something behind his back.*
ivy- what's going on babe?
joey- you'll see. first i want you to have these
*he pulls out a bouquet of chrysanthemums from behind his back and i smile big, taking them into my grip. i kiss him softly, feeling him kiss back before sitting back down and waiting to see what's on the paper.*
ivy- thank you for the flowers baby
joey- you're welcome love
ivy- what's the paper for?
joey- you know how we just rented this apartment out for 2 years?
ivy- yeah? what about it?
joey- well we will have to pay the bills somehow and i decided to go to an interview to be on the Los Angeles Chargers football team
ivy- did you make it? you've always wanted to be in professional football!
joey- i made the team!
