the pure love that radiated out of her was enough to warm up the whole building right now and a huge grin stretched her red lips. of course she didn’t take her make-up off. she was so glad she bought her favorite redd twins matching silk pajamas from venice, so marley can hop in one and they can take cute instagram photos. just the happiness alone from having her friend in her arms was enough to erase the heartbreak from yesterday. a little giggle escaped through her lungs at his words, moving her head to kiss marley’s forehead she then proceeded to shower his whole face with kisses as to make up for the missed little smooches for hello and goodbye over the course of these three weeks. “i bought so much presents that i almost feel like my dad- buying your love and all. but i’m back and i’m staying, my baby!” she announced in a sing-songy voice and held his hand to drag him inside and close the door behind them. “welcome to my new,finally furnished crib.“
initially, he’s basking in the attention being back in georgie’s arms but when she starts smudging kisses all over his face, marley starts to squirm with a squeak of a giggle. “the lipstick! the lipstick!” he protests, weakly swatting at her shoulder to playfully get her to stop. it’s not like he really minds, actually. her lippie could be kiss proof and, even if it wasn’t, no one was there to see him covered in georgina kisses. “good news is, you don’t have to buy my love -- it’s already all yours! but what did you get me? i wanna seeeeee.” the last word is drawn out into a few extra syllables, childish and gleeful. he reaches to give georgie’s elbows a squeeze before dropping his one hand into hers and following her into the room. marley makes appropriate ooh’s and aah’s at their surroundings, appreciative of her decorator’s eye. it puts his ballet-funded apartment to shame, that’s for sure. “wow, maybe i’ll have to hide here and never leave?” marley giggles before doing a little twirl with her hand and letting go. “where can i drop my stuff without ruining your aesthetic?” he’s got a tiny overnight bag slung onto his back -- pjs, a toothbrush and a few other essentials feeling pitiful in comparison to her glamorous abode.
