Trevor smirked back at her, “Yeah I guess that is fair honestly.” He nodded in agreement with her. He was glad she had not insisted on something like that now that they were engaged, but then again he would have been very surprised if she had. “That is a good point. I guess the people who wait just rely on other things really than just the physical stuff.” He shrugged. “I could not agree more.” He said as he reached for her hand to give it a gentle squeeze.

“I am just way too into sex to ever actually give it up. But I mean I guess those people have never had it so they don’t know what they are really missing out on.” Mia replied, unsure of how people did that sort of thing honestly. She just liked being intimate far too much.  “Well it’s good that you agree with me on things, because we are getting married after all.”

“I’m sure they probably have pretty colorful opinions of me already I don’t need to add that one to the list” She laughed softly. “It’ll be a little less long after a few of these” She noted as the waiter returned with their drinks. “Just keep them coming,” 

“Yeah well, most of them are just people who have nothing going on in their lives and want to make other people feel bad.” Mia replied with a small shrug. She didn’t understand why people wanted to be so judgmental all of the time.  “I couldn’t agree more.”

olivenotoyl​:

“I wouldn’t want to go getting labeled a homewrecker now” She snorted as she sat back in the seat and nodded slowly. “Yeah it’s been a long day….week…month…life” 

“Definitely not in a town like this, people talk.” Mia replied knowing that rumors seemed to go around a lot around here. “That is a sentiment I can agree with.” 

[themiajames]

Trevor laughed back at her, “That is a lie. I have always thought you were wonderful.” He reassured her, “But sure, being intimate with you was different and made it different. I think it always does, which is why some people chose to wait until they are married I guess.” He shrugged back at her. It was like an emotional bond in a way, in his opinion. “I am glad that it worked out for you then.” He smiled back at her.

“I honestly never understood how anyone could wait until marriage honestly.” Mia replied shaking her head. She enjoyed it far too much and the idea of having to wait to be with someone that way seemed like torture. “Because what if you get married and then find out you aren’t compatible that way.”  She added before shaking her head. “Today has worked out for me in many ways.”

“Hot water at the rim or a rubber mat. Rubber grips with the bumps work better. After you lose your husband, you learn tips and tricks on how to do things that you always had help with,” she gave a small smile.

“Those are all tips I will have to keep in mind. I value my independent a great deal.” Mia replied knowing that even though she loved Trevor she wanted to be able to live without him.

[themiajames]

itstrevorhastings​:

 Trevor shook his head back at her, “I think you are wonderful through and through.” He reassured her. He would not have asked her to spend the rest of their lives together if he didn’t think so. He took a bite out of his burger, “Good, I am glad to hear it.” He said, glad at least something positive had come out of their trip as he figured it overall must have been rather emotional for her. 

“That’s because I’ve got you under some sort of spell. You didn’t think I was nearly this wonderful until we slept together for the first time.” Mia replied with a small shrug. That had been when things had really changed for them. She continued to her her food, pretty pleased with them. “I would have been pretty disappointed after the day we’ve been having.”

[themiajames]

olivenotoyl​:

“You did, and I’m happy you did. You deserve it” She smiled and nodded. “Yeah…yeah it’s fine “she waved it off before looking up at the waiter. “Make that two…make one of them a double, thanks” She smiled slightly. 

“I’d offer to share, but I don’t play too well with others when it comes to Trevor.” Mia replied knowing she just hated the idea of him being with anyone else. She wanted him all to herself. “Oh wow, you aren’t playing around.”

[themiajames]

olivenotoyl​:

“I’m starting to think you got the last good one” She smiled slightly and shook her head. “I’ll just….stick to cheering for you from the sidelines” She nodded once. “I don’t wanna bring you down, you came for a break, not to hear my sad stories” She waved it off as she motioned for a waiter. “What do you want, its on me”

“That might be the case. Or at least I got the best one.” Mia replied knowing Trevor was the best. He spoiled her even when she was being her most difficult.  “Are you sure? I don’t mind listening.” She added with a small shrug. “It’s a gin and toxic kind of day.”

[themiajames]

itstrevorhastings​:

“Fair enough.” He chuckled, “I guess I have learned how to handle you at your worse so I deserve you at your best as well isn’t that what they say?” He smirked. At least he thought he did seeing he had learned to get to know her and wasn’t offended is she was in a mood.

“Yes, that is what they say. Which is good for me because my best can be a nightmare.” She added with a chuckle. Mia saw their food coming towards them and was happy when it was placed in front of them. Once the waitress was gone she popped a fry into her mouth. “Perfect, just how I remember.”

[themiajames]

itstrevorhastings​:

Trevor nodded in agreement, “Sounds like a plan to me.” He chuckled, just hoping now that they would be able to find her something she liked and that is was available for purchase. “No? I am still pretty sure he would have loved to marry you though. Even though I am glad he didn’t.”

“I mean maybe, I was a lot more agreeable back then.” Mia replied with a small chuckle. She was pretty passive back in those days when it came to that sort of stuff, because she had wanted to be liked. “I’m sure glad he didn’t either.” She added, knowing that if she’d gotten married back then she never would have met Trevor.

[themiajames]

Trevor bit his lips together ever so slightly when she leaned over and whispered to him, chuckling a little under his breath as he adjusted his position to face her some more, “I honestly like the sound of that very much..” He said, letting his eyes glance over her for a second before be run his thumb over his bottom lip. “Yeah, I guess we should look it up. You don’t remember any?”

“Okay perfect, it’s settled then. Ring shopping and then hotel.” Mia replied with a small smirk. She loved how willing Trevor was to agree to these sort of things. She shook her head before pulling out her phone. “I didn’t really have a reason to be familiar with places that sold engagement rings. I was fifteen and it’s not like I was one of those girls who thought I’d marry my high school boyfriend or anything.” She added before she pulled out Google to search.

[themiajames]

olivenotoyl​:

“It was.” She nodded and sighed softly. “Some do, apparently not the ones I’ve gotten with” She rolled her eyes. “For them I’m just…..a placeholder….but then again that’s how I’ve been most of my life” she toyed with the ends of her hair before clearing her throat. “Sorry, sorry…this is not what you came to hang out with me for” She plastered on a smile and looked around. “Let’s get something to drink yeah?”

“I mean then you just haven’t found the right man, but that doesn’t mean you should give up.” Mia replied with a small shrug. She just wanted her friend to be happy, and for the first time in a long time she actually believed in the idea of love. “I don’t mind listening to you Olive, that is what friends are for. But yes, lets get a drink.”

[themiajames]

“That’s when you know you have the perfect guy,’ she smiled softly. She couldn’t deny she missed that feeling, but she also grew to get used to it. “I oddly found out that apparently hot water at the rim helps that. It was kind of accidental, but now a lifesaver or I would be going to the neighbors all the time, which might be a little embarrassing.”

“I really did.” Mia replied with a small chuckle. “I’ll try that water trick next time. I sometimes think Trevor puts them or really tight on purpose to remind me it’s not in my best interest if I ever decide to leave him.” She joked with a small chuckle.

[themiajames]

itstrevorhastings​:

Trevor smiled as he squeezed her hand in return, “Sure we can do that.” He nodded back at her, “Unless you are in the mood for some ring shopping?” He asked her out of curiosity, “Wouldn’t want to leave you without a ring for much longer.” He added with a teasing wink, just wanting to make sure the world knew she was spoken for.

“I mean we can if you want to.” Mia replied before leaning over the table so she could whisper to him.  “And then I can take you back to the hotel and you can fuck me while I am wearing only that.”  She added with a small smirk before sitting back up. “Although we will have to look up where around here even sells them because I’m not sure.” 

[themiajames]

itstrevorhastings​:

“Alright then, sounds good to me.” He smiled back at her, glad she was open to the idea as a lot of women these days seemed to want to keep their maiden names.

Mia reached over and gave him hand a little squeeze. She was still shocked that he’d asked her to marry him in the first place. “Should we go check into a hotel after this?” She asked him, not sure how many more places she could face seeing today. 

[themiajames]

olivenotoyl​:

“I’m happy you’re happy…the both of you” She nodded  and rested her cheek in her hand as she nodded slowly. “Maybe that’s where I’m going wrong…taking them to bed too soon, there’s no mystery” She let out a short laugh

“It was a long time coming, but I’m happy about it too.” Mia replied with a small smile. “I mean some men like that sort of thing, I’d assume.” She added knowing that she’d had a lot men she slept with try to convince her to go on a real date with them afterwards.

[themiajames]

olivenotoyl​:

“You won’t…I see the way you two look at each other” She noted with a small smile. “He’s not going to let that happen.” She assured her friend, reaching over to give her hand a soft squeeze. “Yeah…right” She nodded a little. “That’s all I can hope for” 

“It took years of subtle flirting to get to this point.” Mia replied knowing she’d been into Trevor was quite a while before he showed interest. “But it was me taking him to bed that really did the convincing.” She added with a small smirk. “Just take things one day at a time I suppose.”
