I grab the book and sit on her bed. I open the book to the most recent page and she wrote this yesterday evening.

Dear Diary ,
It's me again obviously. Let me just catch you up to date. Nick and I been talking for about a month. He comes over , we watch tv , take naps and eat then repeat. Dont get me wrong I like spending time with him. But it's getting old. Not only that but he doesn't like doing anything. I'm not saying we have to go out on dates but like I wanna make brownies with him , play games , cook together. Something.
Even if we make a TikTok or something. I won't post it I know he won't like that. I just feel like it's a one sided "relationship". I wish he would put in some effort. Worries me about the future a lot actually. Anyways gotta go
Bye diary
I close the book and put it back.
She's definitely asking for too much. Right?
I mean I'm here everyday watching her favorite movies! That should be enough right? Worry about the future? What is she tryin say? I never ask her to cook for me she just does. She doesn't have to. I don't understand.
I should head back down before she gets suspicious.
I make my way back downstairs to see her sitting on the couch watching something. I go and sit next to her. I look over at her and usually she would look over at me but this time she didn't look at me too.
"Eve?"
She hums in response
"Really?"
"What Nick?" She ask not taking her eyes off the tv in front of us.
"What's the problem?" I ask her
"Didn't I say there was no problem" she looks at me , eyes a bit widened.
"Watch your tone , you are getting an attitude for no reason"
"you should go home" she says to me before turning the tv off "I'm tired anyways"
"You are not , you want me to leave? Genevieve what the fuck is the matter!?" I damn near demand her to tell me
"please don't speak to me like that"
She grabs her phone and stuff. "I'll see you tomorrow maybe"
"whatever Gen" I stand up and leave.
(Genevieve) 4 days later (9:01pm)
As I walk downstairs there's a Knock at my front door
"eve it's nick"
I haven't seen Nick in 4 days. We have texted and stuff but he hasn't come over ever since we had that "argument" or whatever that was that night. I'm just getting worried.
He never wants to do anything, he doesn't call me cute names , rarely compliments me , doesn't show much affection. That's the stuff I want and he's not giving me that. I can't be with him if I'm not gonna be completely satisfied in what I'm being given. He hasn't even tried to have sex with me.
But I'm not gonna leave him out there. I open the front door and there he is.
"Hey" he says
"Hi , come in" I allow him in and then I close the door. "You didn't say you were coming over tonight"
"I know but I Ummm ...... I miss you"
That seemed it was almost hard for him to say
"Did you really?"
"Yes Gen I did"
"I don't know what happened a couple days ago but I have missed you since then so I came here"
I cross my arms as he speaks
"You know you missed me too , just admit it"
"Well yeah I did" I shrug
"Why don't we watch a movie and relax?"
Of course that's what he wants to do
"Please?"
"Fine just because you asked nicely"
