To say you were bored would be an understatement. It’s been four days since winter break started and all you have done is lay down on your bed or at Rue’s. You love spending time with your girlfriend, but there is only so much fun you could do at home.
You were baking cookies in the middle of the night with the Bennett’s when the brilliant thought came to mind.
“You want to go to a light show?” Rue raised her eyebrow in amusement.
“Come on! It’ll be fun! Plus when was the last time we left the house? We could take my car!” You gave her the biggest puppy dog eyes.
“...fine,” You jump up and down. “But! If you get cold that’s your problem.” You roll your eyes and scoop her into your arms.
“We’ll have fun I promise.” You sneak a kiss in and get back to work decorating your cookies.
Your parents were calling for you to come home since you’ve been at the Bennett residence more times in the past couple of days then you’ve been home. Understandably so, you got ready to go home. As you were packing your small bag of clothes you felt lanky arms close in around your waist. A faint smile adorned on your face as you turned around and wrapped your arms around her neck. Rue's face went straight to the crook of your neck as the two of you stood there in each other's arms.
“You know, it’s kind of pathetic that we get sad when we’re apart. I’ve been here for almost a week and we’re literally seeing each other tomorrow.” You laugh. Rue picks up her head and laughs as well.
“Once we move out together we won’t have this problem,” She leans in. “I’d get to come home every day to you.” She whispers and connects your lips. The kiss was interrupted by the ringing of your phone. You sigh as you see it’s your Dad calling. The two of you share a knowing look as she walks you to the front door.
“I’ll pick you up at seven, okay? I love you,” You give her a quick peck on the lips and move out the door.” Bye Leslie, bye Gia!”
…
It was 7pm sharp the next day and you were outside Rue’s door. In your hand you carry two hot chocolates. Rue would never tell you this, but you ruined hot chocolate for her (in a good way). Every hot coco she has doesn’t compare to the ones you make. She’s even tried to make some the same way you do, but it never meets her expectations.
You walk up to her door with the brightest smile. Rue appears in front of you as you were about to nudge the door bell with your elbow. Her face immediately lit up with the sight of your infamous hot chocolate. She looked at your hand & immediately smiled.
“Thank you so much!” She takes the travel tumblr and kisses your forehead. “I have no idea what I’d do without you.” She continues to pepper kisses all over your face as you giggle.
“Come on loser let’s go.” You nudge her and head to your car.
It was only a fifteen minute drive from the Bennett residence to the light show. The two of you spent the whole time singing along to your favorite songs. Rue also brought along the film camera you bought her for her birthday. She has a real talent for finding the beauty in things. You were in the middle of you badly performing an Ariana Grande song when you turned your head to see Rue snapping away. Your face immediately heats up.
“Baby!” You shriek as Rue laughs.
“Oh come on! You looked adorable.” She smiles at you and takes your free hand into her’s. You playfully roll your eyes as you turn into the park where the lights are up.
“Do you want to walk it or stay in the car?” You turn to her and ask.
“I think we should walk.” She replies with a faint smile. You pull into the parking space and head to the ticket booth hand in hand.
You buy your tickets and are on your way. There weren’t many people who chose to walk the trail since it was a lot colder than you expected. Every few moments you would shiver, but there was no way you’d admit that you were cold.
At some point you were able to take Rue’s camera and take pictures of her. You were in awe. The way the lights hit her face combined with the rosy pink that dusted the tip of her nose and cheeks made her look stunning. Assuming she could feel your eyes on her, she turned her head to look back at you.
“I love you, you know.” She wraps her arms around your hips and snuggles into your neck. You let out a content sigh and kiss her on her forehead. She tilts her head back up to look at you. You pull a loose strand of hair behind her ear and hold her chin.
“I love you too.” You smile and kiss her.
There was no place like being in her arms.
