summary: in which benjamine works too hard for olivia, and doesn't know
what monthsary is
****
"good morning, babe"
olivia's raspy voice rang across the room, as she walked towards the busy man, whom was sitting focused in front of his laptop,
benjamine snapped out of his thoughts for a while and looked at this beautiful lady walking to him, wearing just his oversized white t-shirt, and probably just her under-garments, her brown messed hair falling smoothly through her shoulders, making his frown fully disappear,
"oh, you're awake."
olivia then sat on benjamine's lap and smiled at him warmly,
"you look extra good today, live." benj says as he wraps his arms around olivia's small waist,
"beautiful."
olivia chuckles softly while she wraps hers around his neck as well, "you always say that every morning,"
"i know. because it's true."
olivia giggled, and benjamine's mind was totally thrown away from his work now. she looked at him tenderly, before she scooted herself impossibly close to the man, her face nuzzled in the boy's neck,
she took a deep sigh, "i'm missing you too much,"
benjamine pulled off a small smile and hugged her closer, he knew he was too busy and hasn't given much attention to his girlfriend,
"i'm sorry," he mumbles against live's soft locks, smelling her scent, vanilla. "i miss you too."
it has been a month since the two made it official, and unfortunately, benjamine's task got more loaded after it. he truly became more of a busy man, and it felt like they're already married. it sucked.
olivia sat up straight, parting away from away from benj as she looked directly into his dark brown eyes, "happy monthsary,"
she blurted out. immediately regretting it.
she had the thought that benj doesn't know this since he hasn't much time of exposing himself with things about relationships,
benjamine's brows arched because of confusion, "monthsary?"
and olivia was right, he really didn't know.
"u-uh, yeah. it's just, a childish thing."
benjamine noticed olivia's smile fading away, so he cupped her face, worried, "hey , i'm sorry baby. i just- i didn't know what it meant."
this made olivia chuckle, "i know, it's okay." she showed her gummy smile.
benjamine smiled back, and carressed her cheeks so gently, "so, what's with this monthsary thing?", he asked.
"today's fourteen. march fourteen," she paused a bit, kind of waiting for a response, which she didn't get immediately, so she continued,
"the same date we went to—"
"when we went to the amusement park. the date we made it official?"
he asked, looking directly at olivia's eyes, and hands which are now grazing upon her small hands.
olivia smiled and nodded.
"so.. it's basically like anniversaries, but shorter, like every month?"
"yeah," olivia smiled soflty, feeling a bit awkward discussing this kind of matter to his boyfriend.
benjamine then sat up straight and took one of her hands, and pressing the back of it tenderly onto his lips, still looking directly to her cat eyes,
"happy monthsary, babe." he said, then he pressed his lips gently against her soft ones.
benjamine felt olivia smile during the kiss and moved her lips a bit, feeling the moment, before parting away with smiles on their faces.
olivia looked at him and grinned, "i love you."
"i love you, much more."
they stopped for a moment and silence came in, not until benj blushed because of embarassment as it sunk into him, and palmed his face,
"heck, i feel like im so old not knowing that,"
olivia laughed, and benj did the same,
"it's fine, babe." she said, then wrapped her arms around the boy again, pressing her forehead gently against his with a smirk, "you can just make it up to me." she said as if teasing the older guy,
benjamine chuckled cheekily, and went with the flow as he pulled the girl closer, still on his lap,
"hmm, what can i do for this pretty lady? let me think," benjamine posed as if he was thinking,
"silly," olivia giggled.
"i should probably take you on a date. like, on a fancy restaurant near the park we saw last week. much different from where we always go to, what do you think?"
olivia's smile disappeared again, she pouted.
"why? is it bad? you don't want?"
"no," she replied, "i just thought we'd spend the rest of the day here. you know, watch movies and eat donuts." olivia smiled at him.
"besides, look at you. i love you but your face... you look like a zombie." she joked.
"babe!" he shouted, fakingly glaring at his woman,
"we can do that afterwards," he said and kissed her cheek, "but we also need to get sunlight."
olivia pouted but grinned afterwards. she was about to stand up, but benjamine pulled her down his lap immediately.
benjamine kissed her again, eyes closed and olivia did the same. they spent more minutes snuggled close to each other while they sat, sharing kisses of affection, before they got up to get ready for their first monthsary.
