“okay – that is a VERY good point, and you’re right, i mean it’s obviously easy to think you’re own work is great, and end up missing a few flaws. so having so having a fresh set of eyes look it over is definitely beneficial, suppose that’s why programmer & tester are completely separate fields.” a small chuckle fell from her lips, similarly to her own work, if she watched a cut of a movie she helped to make and thought it’s great put it out, and it end up bombing. thankfully there was a team of editors to prevent that from happening, and jaslene wouldn’t end up out of a career. “but that’s kind of what i meant, doing it separately, or be one of the testers for a project you got to work on, you know? of course, i guess that’s always an option once the game is finished too, just getting to fully play it. and money is always a nice incentive too, especially getting it from doing something you love.” admittedly for that reason alone, getting paid to do her job wasn’t that important of a factor, but it was nice to know how successful she’d been because of all her hard work. not to mention self sustaining, and not having to rely on her families money instead, if she hadn’t been doing what she was right now. a small though devious sort of smile pulls at one corner of her lips. “mhm.” humming in response first, placing her glass down on the table, she leans in closer to romina. “is that right ?? well then, maybe later i’ll give you a little teaser.” adding on to the teasing nature of their conversation with a telling smile, bottom lip slightly caught between her teeth. however when she speaks again, that demeanor is just ask quickly washed away, replaced by a softer warmth after hearing i really like you be said. “i think you might’ve once or twice – though i don’t mind hearing it more. and clearly the most important reason to keep posting then.” only partly joking, there being an underlying truth to that, nose scrunching with a light chuckle.
while no one would probably put it passed her to buy them all something to make up for taking romi away for the night, she also didn’t exactly have plans to run out to the store. not to get switches anyway, especially since she doubted her parents would have much use for them. plus that particular gift was bought special for the other female, and if she went & got it for her family, that may end up making it less so. short burst of laughter erupts from her throat, because that sounds exactly like jaslene herself in regards to being with her own family on new years. since she was a teenager she’d always made plans to go out & be with friends OVER hanging around her parents. in fact she even skipped out on staying in new york this year for an even much better reason. “well don’t i feel special right now, but that’s good to know, cause it’d definitely suck if you would’ve rather been with anyone else.” tiny pout forming just at the thought alone, before once again being replaced by a fond smile. noting the faint irritation in her voice jaslene shook her head a little, grabbing the older female’s hand gently. “relax, from what you told me about how much he liked it i’m sure he’ll do one of those things when he gets back home. and you’ll get yours all to yourself again.” tanned hand moving up to brush a strand of romina’s hair behind her ear, then resting it gently on her cheek. “better get used to it, though i can’t take all the credit baby, i mean i do have you to thank for making me feel this way too.” leaning over to press a quick kiss to her lips. brow lifts after being called a goddess, cheeks warming with a blush and a very giddy feeling overtaking her, as if that hadn’t already been the case for much of the night already. “you just know all the RIGHT things to say, don’t you? and to think i was worried about just looking beautiful for you tonight.” taking a generous sip of her drink, she then grabs romi’s hand. “your goddess girlfriend would like to dance, please.”
"right, yes." she nods, before continuing. "i suppose separately could work, technically. but i'm not completely sure about how they usually go on about it and all, and i don't know if being a tester would be considered a full time job. but, anyway, think i'm just gonna stick with my programming for now. at least that's what i do, and you know, i do love that too. it's just that being paid to play video games sure does sound appealing." she agrees with her, more specifically the last part of her sentence. while romina did love what she did, ( even if it wasn't in the gaming industry yet ), it still could be tiring and quite stressful more often than not. but in the end that's probably what made a job a job. besides, she didn't really complain. her love for it obviously outweighed whatever complication she could encounter on the way. she watches the girl's actions, not really being able to look away. not that she needed to, anyway. with just the two of them spending the night together, it was to expect romina's whole attention would be on the younger girl. specially after how their night's been turning out. she's also absentmindedly pulled in just a bit as the other leans in a little closer. a small laugh falling from her lips at the mention of a teaser, "i think a little teaser would be really helpful to hold on until the whole thing." she comments just as playfully as before, though tries to fake a slightly more serious tone to it. "well i don't mind repeating it, especially if you don't either. i'm sure a few of us will appreciate that." romi laughs lightly, though it was nothing short of the truth. whenever they couldn't be together for more than a few days, jaslene's constant updates on her social media was what made it easier to be away. besides their private exchanges, of course.
"i don't know about 'rather be with' but i have always wondered what it'd be like to spend new years with paris hilton." she jokes, in a serious manner even though it is very much a lie she's just made up. and quite frankly, lately all romina really thinks about is jaslene, though she's not sure she wants to admit that right away ( even if they've already been spilling all these feelings ). nose scrunching up after noticing the small pout, a smile never leaving her lips. "KIDDING, can't say i've got anyone on my mind to be honest. besides you, i mean." maybe it was the pout that got her confessing what she didn't want to say just seconds ago, & could anyone really blame her? romi sure had a weakness for it. whether her brother did or didn't do either of those things, what was certain is that eventually he'll be on his way back home which will leave romina all alone with her switch again. sure she loved her brother and spending time with him, obviously, but she didn't appreciate anyone taking up all her stuff. especially not her more treasured things. "yes, you're right. maybe i can even convince him to do something else besides just playing." features quickly soften up at the girl's touch, smile turning warm & tender and it only grew wider as jaslene called her baby, she could feel her heart getting all mushy already just like that. smile remaining even after the short lived kiss. "i fucking hope so. as if you don't already look beautiful every day." following her girlfriend's actions, she takes a long sip from her drink as well, not wanting it ALL to go to waste, of course. "then i'll take her dancing, whatever she wants." intertwining their fingers together, romi leads them out of their little section towards the dance floor, swinging their arms just slightly in the process. while romina's forte was a totally different genre of what was currently playing, she could manage just as well. close enough to have fun and not look like a complete fool in front of everybody. once they reach a decent spot, she lets go of the girl's hand only to move in closer to her.
