I started my college essay and somewhat got the hang of it. It feels so bland and like it's missing...just about everything.
So when I eventually got bored of doing my essay I started writing Valentina's letter which I had Birdie take to the office because I grew too shy and scared.
My love, Valentina,
I would've put this with the flowers because I know you love handwritten letters but I was scared and very much shy.
Happy Valentine's Day baby, I love you so much. I always feel so warm and fuzzy with you, and you never fail to make me smile with even the simplest things. I love everyday with so hopefully we get have many more together.
And I have a surprise for you tomorrow night.
Forever

I only officially know she got it because she texted me right after.
Val ❤️
Thank you so much darling. I love the letter and the flowers made my day.
Me
You're welcome ❤️
I was already blushing too hard for my own good.
Val ❤️
You have a surprise on Friday?
Me
Of course I do. It's Valentine's Day.
Val ❤️
I do too my love, just pack a bag Friday, enough for the weekend. I'll pick you up after school.
Me
For the weekend?
Val ❤️
Yes. I think you'll like it.
I could just tell she was smirking while she typed that. I was confused and she was smirking.
Me
Pick me up from school? Are you sure?
Val ❤️
I said after school not from school. I definitely know better than that.
Me
So from my house?
Val ❤️
Where else my love?
Me
Okay, where are we going?
Val❤️
I won't say
Me
Please 🙏
Val ❤️
No.
Me
Fine!
Val ❤️
Good now, go back to focusing in Maths.
Me
You're infuriating 🙄
Val ❤️
You love me
Me
You're lucky I do.
And that's is how I found myself, today, anxiously counting down the hours until school ended. I honestly considered just skipping the whole day and going to vals house. But I didn't.
AP Gov is my final class and this one always goes fast.
It used to be English but because Valentina doesn't work on Fridays anymore, it's been replaced by one extra AP Gov class.
I have this class with Both Zoë and Birdie, and to my luck Ally too.
We're looking at the democracy scheme of some countries.
"How long until the lesson ends?" I whispered to Birdie.
"Only ten minutes, hang in there babes." Birdie said in a chuckle.
I nodded my head and looked at the clock. Ten minutes.
I looked at the front but not much was going in, only the fact that I'd get to see Vals reaction to my surprise tonight, and also where the hell am I going?
She still didn't give me anything about where we're going. I just packed a bag. And when telling Colton, he seemed to act exactly like a teenage girl and worry about everything I'd need to pack.
If anything, I was nervous but excited.
"Alright, next week we'll be looking at constructing the constitution. So please read up on that." Miss Fole spoke and it break me away from my thoughts.
I packed up and picked my bag up, throwing it over my shoulder, more than eager to leave.
"Hey, Letty." Ally calls from a little in front of me.
I take a deep breath and prepare to answer her. For some reason ever since earlier this week, she's really been irritating me.
I can't tell you why, but since I saw that smirk on her face a few days ago, she's just been working on my last nerves.
"Hey Ally." I say to her. Still with a smile because I don't want to be a bitch to her.
"How are you?" She asked as we walked out together, both Birdie and Zoë trailing closely behind us.
"I'm good thanks, you?"
"I'm okay. Any plans for tonight? With it being Valentine's Day and all?" She asked casually explaining with her hands.
"I'm going out with my girlfriend tonight."
"Oh that's sweet. Are you free tomorrow, there's this farmers market I think you'd like a lot." She smiled.
I do love a good farmers market.
But I rather go to farmers markets with Val, and get her flowers, and little other things. I always feel so good getting her even the smallest thing, she gets all smiley and really does cherish them.
She still has the first set of flowers I got her and they are surprisingly thriving in her living room.
"Im not sure, I'm really sorry. The weekend is really the only time I get to spend with her." I said to Ally and I watched as she rolled her eyes.
"Sure." She said. "like seeing her four times a week isn't enough." She mumbled under her breath.
"What?" I froze internally at her statement.
"Nothing. Text me when you've got time yeah?" She said with a smile before walking away.
"Did you hear what she said?" I turned around to ask them.
"Okay I'll be honest, I didn't. I was texting Quinn. I'm supposed to spend the night at her house. I'm sorry Letty." Zoë said as she stop walking too.
"I heard. I was kinda stunned, because what exactly did she mean? And shoot me if I'm wrong but Ally had been pissing me off lately." Birdie said.
"It's okay Zo, and exactly my point, what exactly is her point. I mean there's no way she could really know anything anyways?" Birdie said with a scoff.
"Whatever she thinks is beyond me, and I don't want to stress over what she knows or not. I've got to go home and go spend my weekend with my girlfriend." I said feeling very much excited.
"I'll see you on Monday yeah, tell me how everything goes." Birdie said as she walked a little further to her car.
"Bye, bye Zo." I said to Birdie and Zoë who's been smiling at her phone ridiculously.
I jumped in and tried to drive as quickly and as safely as I could. I was way more excited than I needed to be.
I parked my car kind of badly in my driveway before I went inside.
"Hey kiddo, how was school?" Colton asked as I walked through the door.
"Good, is she here yet?" I asked him with a small smile.
"You said three forty-five. Kiddo it's barely three fifteen." Colton laughed at me.
I sighed realising I still had to wait another thirty minutes for her.
"Why don't you make sure you have everything and im sure by the time you're finished, im sure she'll be here." Colton said.
"Okay." And I left for upstairs.
✽Valentina's POV✽
I've spent the last day and a half putting together the perfect valentine's day for us.
Maybe it's too much, but I feel like Collette deserves the best that I can give her. In everything.
So I rented out a lake side cabin for us, just for the weekend. I picked up some of her favourite, and lined the whole place with rose petals, cliché I know, but I want to show her I love her as loved as she makes me feel loved.
The way she makes me feel is something so incomprehensible to me. I've never been loved for so softly. I'm not used to being given flowers every week, it's something so foreign to me. I'm used to being the one who gives the flowers, and she's been the only person to ever write me a hand written letter.
When I told Zara I prefer white roses to red and hand written letter to chocolate. She told me that emails and texts were easier and that red roses were always cheaper. So i got used to it.
I enjoy and find comfort in the fact that Collette is the only woman to see me be so soft. I don't have to be a bitch to her, I don't have to put up the front I've been perfecting for years to her, I can just be Valentina. Just me.
I'm worried she'll think it's excessive or too much.
She also said she has her own surprise for tonight and I have no idea what it could be.
Another thing is it's been more than a week now since Collette and I had sex. I'm not better than any man because it's driving me insane. I'm sexually frustrated to the point I was snapping at my students for no reason earlier this week.
I'd be lying if I said I hadn't touched myself this week because of how much it was getting to me, again I say, I'm not better than any man for that.
But tonight I really want to focus on showing Collette how much I love her.
Since being with Collette I've noticed that her love language is definitely gift giving. She always gets me something, even if it's the smallest thing and she gets all giddy when she hands it to me and she blushes hard when I lean to kiss and thank her.
It makes my heart flutter.
She making my heart flutter.
I'm driving over to get Collette now. She's texted me almost every three minutes to ask if I'm there, of course I haven't answered any of them because I'm driving but it's incredibly cute.
