Y/N's POV
The car ride home was a little uncomfortable since I had to sit up in the car. Rosie held my hand throughout it as we both sat in the back seats. I rested my head on her shoulder and she then rested hers on top of mine.
Once we arrived home, I carefully got out of the car and started walking up the steps to the porch. That was a bitch so I don't know how I'm going to do the steps inside. But I know damn well I am going to do them if it's the last thing I do. I held onto the railing all the way up with Rosie right behind me. I felt her hand pressed on the lower part of my back, making me smile.
I then got in front of my door and opened it to see the gifts placed neatly on my desk. I felt Rosie walk next to me as I didn't move.
"Y/n, what are yo–" Her words trailed off as she saw the gifts in front of her. There was a wrapped box and then a small gift bag. I watched as she slowly made her way over to them. When she turned back to face me, she had a wide grin on her face.
"This feels like Christmas or something," she giggled. at me. Then she frowned,
"Wait, but I don't have your gifts here. I can't open them without you opening yours."
"It's fine love, I can open them later." I told her. She just shook her head and pulled her phone out. After a few seconds, she put it down,
"I texted Alice to bring them over. She'll be here in 5." She happily. I smiled as she sat down at the desk chair and literally stared at the gifts the whole time waiting for Alice to get here. I made myself comfortable on my bed and heard a car pull into the driveway which meant Alice was here. Rosie sprinted out of the room and I heard her footsteps barreling down the stairs as she made her way to her sister. I laughed silently to myself and waited to hear those same footsteps running back up the stairs. Once I did, I looked at the doorway to see her figure stride though with two gift bags in hand.
"What do we have here?" I said cocking an eyebrow at her. She placed the gift bags on the bed next to me and brought the ones for her also on the bed as she sat across from me.
"We have your gifts for our six month anniversary." She said proudly. She told me to open mine first and I declined, but she insisted since she opened hers first on our one month. I rolled my eyes but still had a bright smile on my face as I started to open the first gift.
I pulled out a picture frame and I saw the back of it first. I watched Rosie's reaction as it got bigger and bigger, making me wonder what the hell she got me. I turned it around and was at a loss of words.
In the frame was how the stars were aligned on our first date when I took her to the 50's dance. I just stared in awe at it for a while before I soon felt tears form in my eyes. I placed it to the side as I rested my head in my hands and cried softly. I felt a shift on the bed and the felt the warm arms of Rosie wrap around me. She kissed the top of my head,
"I'm glad you like your gift, but you got another to get to." She said gently as she pulled away from me and wiped my tears away. I nodded my head and kissed her cheek before I sniffled a little and took the other bag. I took the tissue paper out of this one and was met with a stuffed animal of a scarlet macaw. I smiled at it and brought it to my chest as I hugged it. I heard as Rosie cooed at the sight,
"Awee, what are you gonna name them?" She asked me. I thought for a moment,
"Their name is gonna be Marty." I saw her smile grow at the name.
"And why is that?"
"Because that was the name of the one in the zoo." I said remembering the bird that got my attention, "Also, why didn't you tell me to start with this one so I wouldn't cry first?"
"I honestly forgot what bag had what, so your guess was just as good as mine. Also, the stuffed animal funds help out saving the scarlet macaws, so I knew you would appreciate it."
"That's so sweet, thank you Rosie. Ok well," I pointed towards her gifts, "time for you to open your gifts."
She looked next to her and asked which one to ope. first. I told her it didn't matter and she reached for the small bag first. When she got the tissue paper out, her eyes went wide. She looked up at me, then back down, then back up at me. I could see she was trying to say words, but nothing was coming out of her mouth.
"Soooo..." I asked her. She finally lifted the gift out of the bag, showing off the tickets I got us to see 'The Little Mermaid' play downtown when it comes to our city.
"You didn't," she said quietly, "how did you even get them?"
"Well, my cousin works downtown at the theater and hooked me up with the tickets. It's coming in November I think. So we still have to wait just over three months for it, but I can't wait."
"I can't believe we're going to see it! I can't wait until November!" She said bouncing up and down on my bed. I laughed and told her to open the other gift. She tore off the wrapping paper and I watched as the tears started to well up in her eyes,
"This is so cute," she said as she looked at it. It was the 'Our Adventure Book' from the movie Up. It's one of her favorite movies and I know we will be able to fill up the book. She opened the book to see my little handwritten letter to her,
Dear Rosie,
This is going to be our little adventure book for our relationship. I know we will most likely fill up the pages super fast, but I can't wait to keep these memories with you forever. I hope you like the gift and happy six months, my sunshine <3
Love,
Y/n (aka your moon and the greatest girlfriend)
She tried so hard to not get any tears on the paper below her, and she actually did a good job at it. She flipped the page and I heard her gasp as I already put some photos and little descriptions to all of them. I had pictures of when we were together even before we dated. I had our first date polaroids in there, I also had the time I asked her to be my girlfriend. There were many pictures of us on dates and anniversaries, and I just loved it. It was a way to document our ever growing journey with each other.
She let her fingers glide over every picture on every page and read all the little notes and messages I left on the pages. One got her attention: it was a picture of all 4 of them laughing together at Ralph's, yet she was obviously to focus of the picture. She asked what the significance of it was.
"Well the picture was taken the day I realized I liked you. It was literally like a week after I met you, but I still knew I liked you. It was when we held hands under the table and I thought that it would never get better than that," I laughed, "Was I wrong about that."
"That was the day you found out you liked me?" I nodded my head.
"Well, then we have even more in common because that was also the day I realized I started to get feelings for you." I sat here shocked at what she said. It hit me that I literally probably could've asked her to go out on a date with me way back when, but I was too scared and socially awkward to.
"Wow," I sighed out. She just got up from the bed and walked over to my desk and grabbed a blue marker. She took the cap off and started to write on the page. Once she was done, she fanned it a little and then turned the book so I could see it.
The day where we both fell for each other
It was written underneath the picture in her adorable handwriting and I couldn't help the shit eating grin that formed on my face.
"It's perfect." I said as I brought her lips to mine. It was a long and meaningful kiss. When we pulled away, I grabbed the camera off of my desk and looked over to her, seeing that she was already making her way next to me so I could take a picture of us on our six month. She cuddled up next to me, careful to not hurt me, and smiled for the camera as I did the same and took the picture.
"That one is going into it," I said as I pulled my laptop up on my legs and took the sd card out of the camera and downloaded the picture. I then connected it to the blue tooth polaroid printer I have and printed it out so it could go into the book. It took a few minutes, but it came out perfectly and Rosie went and got some colored tape so we could place it in. She did it and decorated the page as she drew little drawings. She then showed me and I nodded in approval.
"So I had something for us to do today since it was my turn to plan, but we can't do it," I looked down and started to feel guilty about messing up her plans, "So what would you like to do today?"
I just sat there in silence as I felt horrible for ruining our anniversary and her plans that probably took her a while to prepare.
"I'm sorry," I told her as I looked up at her with tears in my eyes. She immediately panicked seeing my mood change like that and cupped my face.
"Why are you sorry? You didn't do anything wrong." She said looking deeply into my eyes. I just closed my eyes and shook my head in disappointment.
"I fucked up our anniversary and we can't do what you planned today. I messed it all up." I said as I sniffled in between sentences.
"Hey hey, no you didn't. You didn't ruin anything, I promise." She said as she brought me into a hug as I rested my chin on her shoulder.
"But I know you spent a lot of time planning and now we can't do it."
"I just wanted to be with you the whole day and we can still do that." She pulled back from the hug and gave me a deep kiss.
"Are you sure you're not mad?" I asked her quietly when we separated.
"I can pinky promise that I'm no where near mad," she stuck her pinky out, "and I get to spend the whole day with you still, so I am perfectly happy with the plan for today."
I was looking at her questioningly, but I couldn't sense that she was lying, so she must've been telling the truth. I sighed out and wrapped my pinky around hers.
"Great," she said happily, "now let's use your laptop to watch some movies and I'll order us an early lunch. How does that sound?"
"Sounds great Rosie." I told her ask she pulled her phone out and order our food and I got out my laptop once again and pulled up Disney+. I scrolled through until I found a cinematic masterpiece.
"How about this masterpiece of a movie?" I asked her. She looked up from her phone and I saw a smile spread across her features as she nodded her head happily.
"Let's watch it. And I also placed our food so it'll be here in about an hour, so we have time to get through half of the movie."
"Okay, let's get to it then." I clicked play and Rosie rested her head on my shoulder as we watched 'The Emperor's New Groove.' (a/n: i fucking love that movie, you need to watch it if you haven't. it's so underrated)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The food arrived a few minutes ago and we were sitting back on my bed eating peacefully as we finished up the movie. We finished our food before the movie ended, so we just blindly placed it on my nightstand and didn't take our eyes off the screen.
When there was a little slow moment in the movie, I reached over for my pain medication and took it. Rosie looked over at me and asked if I was in pain.
"I just feel it throbbing and it's annoying me, and it's time to take it anyway." I told her so she wouldn't get super worried. I saw a small frown appear on her face as she held my hand for the rest of the movie; occasionally rubbing her thumb back and forth on the back of it.
The movie soon came to an end and I was feeling a little tired since that's what the medicine does to me. Rosie noticed my eyes fighting to stay open and she softly told me to go to sleep.
"But it's only 3pm and I don't wanna leave you alone to do nothing." I protested as I sat up and rubbed my eyes to keep myself awake.
"I'll be fine, plus you need your sleep anyway. So please, take a nap and I'll wake you up in about two hours, okay?"
"Fine," I huffed out as I laid down on my bed under the covers and closed my eyes. I was out like a light right after.
Rosie's POV
Once y/n laid down, she fell asleep right away, making me smile as she tired to deny the fact that she was tired. I gave her a gentle kiss on her forehead and slowly got up from the bed. I walked over to her desk and placed her laptop on it, opening it up and going to Google. I searched up the planetarium that I was going to take her to tonight and looked at the hours and days it was open. I saw that the next time it would be open until sunrise would be next Friday. I hoped that y/n would feel better because then we could go to the planetarium at night and watch the stars through the telescopes there.
I then just sat around for the remainder of the time y/n was asleep. I went downstairs and talked with Tiffany to pass the time a little also; telling her about the new change in plans and that I would take her next week instead of tonight. She was completely fine with it which made me really happy. I joined her in watching and episode of Hell's Kitchen and then I saw that it has been almost 3 hours since y/n fell asleep. So I then made my way back upstairs and opened her door to see her still passed out. I started to feel bad since I needed to wake her up for dinner, but I know she would get made at me if I wasted more time without her. So reluctantly, I climbed on the bed next to her and woke her up with light kisses all around her face.
"Mmm, five more minutes." Y/n grumbled out. I chuckled,
"I don't think so because I let you sleep an extra hour," with that she opened her eyes rather quickly.
"You what? Rosie, why did you do that?" She asked slowly sitting up on the bed.
"Because you needed it," I said brushing her hair out of her face.
"Well, then let's spend the rest of the night together. I would prefer to be awake too." She chuckled as she got up from the bed and said she was going to the bathroom. I asked if she needed me with her and she declined. I still sat outside the door to make sure I didn't hear her fall or something. She finished and walked out of the bathroom and went to the stairs to make her way downstairs. I was a little scared but she proved me wrong as she went down the stairs better than going up then earlier today.
Once we got downstairs, she just sat on the couch as her mom and I talked with her about whatever. It was nice being with them and seeing their mother-daughter bond.
"So where do you want to get dinner from?" Tiffany asked y/n.
"How about the little italian restaurant." She suggested. We agreed and Tiffany called to place our order. She came back and said that she would go pick it up in 45 minutes.
"So what did you two get each other?" She asked us. I told y/n she could go first.
"Well, I got Rosie tickets to see 'The Little Mermaid' downtown when the play comes in November and also the Adventure Book from the movie Up to fill up with all of our memories together." She said proudly. Then it was my turn.
"I got y/n a picture of the stars the night of our first date. It was a gift I wanted to get her for a while and I actually got it three months ago," I laughed at my past self's eagerness, "and then I got her a small stuffed scarlet macaw that she named Marty. The money from each stuffed animal goes to protecting them."
"Those are absolutely adorable gifts." Tiffany said with a smile. We all sat and watched whatever show was playing and waited for 45 minutes to pass. When it did, Tiffany got up and left to get the food. I then got up and set up the table so she wouldn't have to when she got back. I heard y/n walk over to the kitchen and sit down at the table.
"I love you," she said dreamily at me.
"And I love you too."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We all ate our food when it came and sat downstairs to watch some more TV as the night was coming to an end. It then hit 11pm and I decided that it was late enough and y/n and I said goodnight to Tiffany and we made our way up to y/n's room. The two of us got changed and I turned off the lights as I got into bed with y/n and wrapped my arm around her lower waist. She placed her hand on top of mine and we both drifted off to sleep peacefully.
I can't wait to marry this girl.
