in case anyone was wondering, the bouquet has camellias and daisies and yellow tulips

[ most recent ]

Adrien looked down at the bouquet of flowers, and for an instant Marinette wondered if she had made a mistake. Then he took the bouquet and smiled at it, slow and shy.

“Thank you, Ladybug” he said, and he clung to them for the next hour as they wandered the city together. When they found an ice cream cart and had sat with separate cones, though, he said softly, “I, um. I don’t know how to take care of flowers.”

She looked over at him, startled. (She had been doing that a lot today.) “You don’t have to,” she blurted. “They’re only flowers.”

“They’re flowers from you,” Adrien said. “I want them to… I couldn’t keep them even if I knew how,” he realized suddenly. “Nathalie would wonder how I got them, and it’s dangerous, isn’t it? If anyone found out about us.”

Strawberry sorbet dripped down Adrien’s cone and over his hand. He made a noise and brought the melting food to his face. She couldn’t help but stare, mesmerized, watching him lick at himself.

He caught her staring and blushed. “I don’t get ice cream cones very often,” he said defensively, and Marinette shook her head.

“R-right, of course,” she mumbled, licking at her own mint ice cream and wondering if she had the same effect on him. “Um. Flowers. You can just throw them away, if it’s inconvenient.”

Adrien fidgeted. “I was thinking— if it’s okay— we could— I could give it to my girlfriend Marinette? We’re very close to her house now— I could just— would that be weird?”

Would it? She didn’t care: her heart was bursting with affection for him, for her Adrien, for her Adrien, who was thinking about the other her even now.

“I’ll take it to her after you go home,” she offered. “Where does she live?”

Day 057: Sunny

Sunday morning, the sun broke through the blinds, streaking the room with beams of soft light. Birds chirped merrily outside, signaling the beginning of a new day. I slowly opened my eyes, only to promptly scrunch my face in distaste. I grabbed my alarm clock, the bright red numbers read eight am. I grumbled, grabbed the blankets and promptly pulled them over my head. I really wish I could greet this warm sunny morning with a smile. Unfortunately being up until four am working on a school paper, gave different feelings about this early wake up call. 

It felt better now that I was firmly tucked into the dark cocoon of my comforter. I closed my eyes, hoping to get even just a little more sleep. Letting out a long breath, I snuggled closer into the pillow. 

Before sleep was able to take me, a loud knock at my door scared me. My heart shot to my throat as I fell as a cluster of blankets to the floor. I thrashed against the blankets and let out a loud groan of irritation. A voice from the other side of the door responded, “Just letting you know, I made coffee.”

Day 56

Telework day. Hung out with nick again, who came over to telework with me. He brought me noodles & co ^_^ Min (@jenimal) came over later too, and we went to Leesburg Outlet stores. It was my first time there. Bought my mom's Mother's day gift, a DKNY handbag/purse. She loved it, thank God. She's very picky about her handbags, and commended me for picking out the "just right" bag for her even though our tastes are super different. She ended up giving me the one I got her last year, a white Coach bag, because it was too clean for her to use. Not that I'm gonna be any more careful than she is. =_= But I'm glad she gave it to me, because it's a cute purse >:)

Day 57

Saw Shaneka, another fellow DHS student intern, for the first time in six months today, since she's back from school. Yay! Around lunch time, I went to Nando's Peri-Peri chicken with Gloria (@glorida00) and then went to see the Captain American 2 filming that was happening right by my office. I remember Salt was filming near my office 2-3 years ago, and X-Men: First Class was also filming near my office, too. Yay for working in DC. :D Also, my Henna tattoo is becoming visible. It was weird, the first day it looked like it didn't work, but it gradually darkened on my skin over the weekend. I went to Guitar Center and met up with Monty to buy a new 88-key keyboard, keyboard amp, instrument cables, pedal, and keyboard stand. I dropped $1,000+ on this stuff. Time to get serious about performing. I'm tired of having the excuse of not wanting to sing with just a CD or not having my own rendition of things. I can lug this thing around with me and perform. :) Happy with my purchase. Got Monty some Peruvian chicken to thank him for his advising. 

Day 58

Went in to work late today. The building got evacuated, though, because an emergency was reported or something. We chilled outside for like an hour. But man we had to go down the stairs and I got stuck behind this BIG lady. I'm talking, like, she took up the entire width of the staircase. If this was a fire we would have all died. She had to land on each step with both of her feet, and that on top of her natural drag from her weight just really slowed everyone down. =_= Anyway. After work, went to Chipotle then Jorge's house for the first time in like a month. Watched community, smoked hookah, the usual. Right afterwards, went to hang out with my little Huy for the first time in forever. We went to TeenoZytoon. My first time there. It was a pretty cool place. Service was good, hookah was decent, and there were a lot of people there. Particularly asians O_O Talked about life and relationships and just generally catching-up.
