ever since your girlfriend bought a vhs camera from the flea market that you both went to a week ago, she seems to be getting way too immerse and invested with it to the point where you felt like she’s keeping something from you.
not saying that she’s cheating but it makes you wonder what did she kept in it.
“lemme see!” you beamed, before flopping next to her on the couch.
she was checking on a video that she recorded earlier—a picnic date with you at the beach nearby. you leaned your head over her shoulder, trying to peek at the video, even for a single bits from it but she quickly shifted her position and closed the camera. “nope. im not letting you to see anything from it.”
“why?” you protested in a flash, “do you not love me? why can’t i see it? you hate me or something?” you started rambling every words out, almost desperate to know what was she keeping.
megan chuckled lightly seeing your tantrum as she leaned to leave a soft peck on the top of your head. “don’t overthink it. i just didn’t want you to see it yet, baby.”
she caressed your hair in between her fingers gently, trying to ease you down. you just stared at her for a second longer. “but why?” you asked once again.
“secret. you’ll see it by the end of this week.” she whispered against your ear, her pitch was clear with playfulness as she giggled before pulling you in between her arms.
you still frowned, not satisfied with her answer. “fine. i won’t tell you any of my secrets anymore.”
she hummed in return and proceeded not to say anything further just to annoy you, but you could see the smile lingering on her face, eyes glistening with something hidden.
3 days passed by and your curiosity just keeps getting bigger, you couldn’t help but feeling eager to know what’s your girlfriend was hiding from you in the camera. it was past 1am but you were still wide awake while megan was peacefully sleeping, laying over your chest with a soft snore that filled the silence in the room.
you slowly shifted, letting her head down over the pillow as you carefully climbed out from the bed. your steps were light, way too cautious just to not make any noise that would disturb her or wake her up.
once you reached the shelf that displayed a few of your books, along with megan’s vhs camera that was placed there, you glance over your shoulder to check for any signs of movement but your girlfriend was literally in a deep sleep as you grabbed her camera and headed out from the room.
you went over the kitchen, slouch down to the floorboards—hidden behind the counter just in case megan would suddenly appear.
you clicked over a button to turn the camera on and the next thing you see was how the rolls were filled with multiple videos of you, confused? definitely as you decided to click on the very first video.
it started with a scenery of a small lake, it was the morning where you and megan decided to hike together by the hill just to watch a sunrise. you were crouched down near the lake, your fingers were lightly grazing over the surface of the cold water.
megan zoomed in to you—focusing the camera on your face, how you were so absorbed by the moment. “11 days before i propose to you.” her voice came out softer, genuine and filled with tenderness as she spoke and still keep recording you.
you blinked in haze as you were still processing the words that she just uttered out. you clicked on the replay button, to hear it one more time, to be sure that you were not just hearing things.
“11 days before i propose to you.”
your breath hitched upon hearing it more clearly now, your pulse rate rising faster than before, you can almost hear the beat of your heart pounding loudly against your ribs as if it’s about to drop out. “propose? to me?” you questioned out, still in puzzled as you blinked your eyes several times to clear your minds.
you decided to clicked on another video, the beach where you both were having a picnic date on her off days. you were capturing a picture of the sunset as megan was recording you from behind, slightly distanced from you. “9 days left..” she muttered as you could hear the tense in her tone.
she carefully placed the camera down on the sand, finding the perfect angle to show the landscape and record the moment as she ran towards you, hands wrapped around your waist from behind—caught you off guard before she slightly lifted you up and spin around.
warm laughter was echoing from all over the beach as the two of you were too immersed in your own world, too carefree from the surroundings.
“baby! put me down im dizzy!”
you can faintly heard your voice from distant, a small smile crooked by the corner of your lips just by rewatching the moment.
you pressed on another video, which seems quite dark and not much source of light from around. when it’s finally started rolling, you realised that it was in megan’s car where you both had a night drive since it was one of your favourite things to do with her.
the car stopped at the red lights as megan shifted the camera next to her, on you who was comfortably asleep on the passenger seat.
“so cute.” she squeal softly, couldn’t resist herself from poking on your cheek.
your head was hanging low, some hair was falling off to the side—blocking half of your face as her fingers reached out and tucked the strand of hair behind your ear. “3 days left baby..” she lightly caressed your cheek before pulling away abruptly when you make a tiny movement, to shift your posture and get more comfortable.
it’s getting even more late the longer you watched the video she silently recorded, so you chose to watch the newest one just so you could go back to the room before megan realised that you’re not there, sleeping with her.
you pressed the start button and you instantly recognised that it was recorded earlier today while she was in the studio for a photoshoot.
the studio was awfully busy, loud music blasting and bunch of chattering could be heard in the background. megan stood in front of a large mirror, recording herself from the reflection as she was still wearing your leather jacket and haven’t change to the outfit that was prepared for her.
her makeup seems lighter, just a tiny amount of blush on her cheeks, her signature eyeliner and a pink lipgloss on.
she looks softer—almost making you feel awe just by seeing her appearance.
“hi baby.” she beamed, waving with a sweet smile. “so.. im gonna be honest im so nervous.” she confessed out, her lips pouting as she was unsure of how you’ll react to her proposal. “im not nervous about this photoshoot but.. about you. about tomorrow.”
you heart clenched as you realised that she’s going to propose to you tomorrow—the reasons why she’s been pushing you to agree with the trip to santorini since last month.
“im sure you’re gonna be surprise. i’ve been preparing everything for you, to make it all perfect.” she grinned which made you feel guilty for secretly checking on the recording that was meant to be a surprise for you to see—that’s why she’s been hiding the videos from you this whole time.
you closed the camera instantly, palming your face in regret as you heaved out a sigh. “fuck. i should’ve listen to her. i shouldn’t watched the videos.” you groaned before standing up from the floorboards.
the sound of a light footsteps coming towards you making your pulse race and before you could think of what to do, megan appeared in the kitchen and turned the lights on. “baby? why are you awake at this hour?” she murmured, rubbing one eye with the back of her hand before walking closer to you and instantly side hugging you.
“i was.. i felt thirsty so—yeah.” you explained which is obviously a lie as the camera was still on the ground, which thankfully wasn’t visible to Megan as she leaned over your shoulder and gave a tiny nod as you caressed her head gently. “let’s go back to bed.”
“hmm.” she hummed as the two of you went back in the room and as soon as you flopped down to the bed, megan pulled you closer and placed her arm across your waist. her head rested against your shoulder as a yawn escaped from her lips, “i was wondering why did you suddenly disappear—almost making me thinking that you leave me.” she giggled softly though you know that she was actually nervous about tomorrow.
“i would never leave you, baby.” you rested your hands on top of hers, giving it a reassurance squeeze.
she hummed softly, squishing her cheek closer to you.
for a beat, you felt the guilt started to eating you up again and you obviously didn’t have the heart to tell her that you just watched the videos that she recorded in her vhs camera—that was meant to be a surprise for you.
you focus your gaze on the ceiling, thinking deeply. “baby?”
“yeah?” she replied, eyes glued to you with a soft glimmer.
you bit on your lower lip before diverting your gaze to her. “if i tell you this.. promise me you won’t be mad?” you carefully asked.
her brows pinched together, probably confused. “why would i be mad at you?”
“i dunno but i just—just promise me that you won’t be mad at me first.” you repeated just to be sure.
“baby,” she whispered out in the most soothing voice ever. “you know that i can never be mad at you.” she said calmly with a small smile.
you slowly nodded your head, swallowing the lump that formed in your throat. “i actually watched the videos..”
her head slightly shifted, glancing at you with a slight frown across her face. “what videos?”
“the one that you recorded on your vhs camera.” your voice came out smaller, afraid of what she’s about to say.
the air went stilled for a long second—almost too long for your liking as she shifted her gaze away from you. “so.. you know it now?”
“im sorry baby please don’t be mad.” you quickly said, turning your body fully to face her. “i was so stupid for not—“
“hey—no calm down. don’t say that.” she stopped you instantly, her hand softly rested against your cheek, lightly caressing it. “im not mad, baby,”
you bite on your inner cheeks unknowingly. “are you sure..?”
“mhm im not gonna be mad about that but actually—i feel a bit lighter like the weight that i have been feeling slightly loosened now that you know why.” she smiled, her eyes softening just enough to make you feel serene.
“but i ruined the surprise.” you stated, slightly pouting.
she shook her head, her smile still lingering. “no you don’t. you just know that im going to propose tomorrow but you still don’t know that more surprises are incoming.” she chuckled which made your heart felt the warmth in it.
“more surprises?” you asked with fully excitement, eyes growing wide.
she hummed in return. “i just know that you’re gonna love it.”
you leaned over and close the gap between the two of you as you gave her one of the most tender kiss ever. “i love you.” you murmured against her lips.
“i love you more.” she replied with a smile that made her whiskers dimples appeared. “now let’s go to sleep. we need to get up early to catch a flight tomorrow.”
