"What's for tea Liv?" I asked as she turned off her computer indicating she was done for the day. So she should be, she's been working on that album cover all day and it's a Sunday.
"I'm not too hungry but there's like sausage rolls 'nd stuff in the fridge if you want?" She was still sitting on the chair at her desk in the corner of the living room.
I forget that we've kissed and established our feelings for eachother. I'm allowed to show it now so I gestured her to come sit with me and so she sat next to me with her head on my chest. This is all I've ever wanted, someone who'd sit and do cringey shit like cuddle with me, and listen to music all day, not like my ex who only ever wanted a cuddle when she was sad. I could feel her ribs against my side, it wasn't uncomfortable I just don't remember her being as thin as she is now. Maybe I was overthinking it, I hope she's not like trying to lose weight though because if she lost anymore she'd be nothing but skin and bones. There's no way I would bring it up though, I didn't want to risk offending her.
My hands were running through her hair as she lays there on my chest. I don't know what's going to happen when we have to leave in two weeks but I don't even want to think of that, my mum and dad are such a romantic couple and i guess I'm the same. Everyone now a days only seems to want the 'perfect' relationship and go on all these dates to posh restaurants but I'd much rather have a night in with the girl I love in my arms and not care what anyone else thinks.
"I've been writing some bits Liv, I know we've got our album out soon but I can't help myself"
"Really? Let's hear it then" Up she sat, waiting for me to show her what I've been working on. She was so exciting about our music and it actually melted my heart that she was so passionate about it.
"Okay right don't judge cause 'av no guitar and it's not like a full song" I said as she nagged me to hurry up and get on with it.
"And if only for the sake of it I could chill you out and drive us through the night to your sisters
You could fall asleep with my jacket as a cover and wake up just to join me to smoke
I wanted everything at once
Till you blew me out my mind
And now I don't need nothing
We'll be talking bout your background, how it never left you much
And cause you grew up in a small town, you'll appreciate it more
When you're done figuring your life out and everything's fine"
I got up from the guitar and started playing the air guitar just making the sound of the guitar solo for Bondy I wrote in my head. Instead of laughing at me like I thought she would she started clapping after I finished.
"I love it!" The thing I love about Liv is that you can always tell she means what she says.
"Well I'd bloody hope so I wrote it about you" We laughed and sat back down together.
The night soon crawled in and we'd spent most of the day together. Benji texted me saying they were having a boys night which meant fifa and beer till stupid o'clock but I ignored the text because I'd rather spend time with Liv.
"Van you should go to Benjis" Olivia sat up from lying on my chest and raised her brows at me. She was always so hard to say no to but I didn't even want to go. "I know what you're going to say. I'll see you after work tomorrow and I'll be done your album cover by Tuesday so I'll come see all of you and show yous"
"Fineee" I sighed, wrapping my arms round her one last time before dragging myself up the road to Benjis.
