"Thank you, I should've known that was why I was never good enough for him," I recalled,
"You arealwaysenough my love." He hushed running his fingers down my spine soothingly,
"You have to come!" I recalled sitting up and holding his hand joyfully,
"Well um yeah that was kinda the idea." He stated blankly, "I'msoproud of you."
"I'm so grateful to have you in my life," I assured him leaning in to kiss him gently on the lips,mylove. My River.
River and I spent the rest of the afternoon going back to campus to collect my things from my dorm room, we got a few boxes from storage and took them up to my room as we packed everything away.
"Of course, you go straight to my underwear drawer." I taunted and he winked at me folding them neatly into the box.
"Keomi is going to lose her shit." River reminded me as if I didn’t already know, maybe it was a shitty thing to just leave without telling her but I was going to sit down and talk to her afterwards and I had to hope that she'd somehow understand.
"Do you want me to move in with your ass or not Kennedy?" I quipped and he zipped his mouth.
"Is there anything else you'll need aside from clothes?" He asked, "I mean my apartment isn't exactly built for two, you can decorate it however you want to you know."
"I can't do that," I replied trying my best to be modest,
"It's literally yours too, we just signed your name on the deed." He reminded me and he was actually right, Iwouldbe paying a quarter of the rent for now and half later when I could afford it.
"Well, I guess I wouldn't mind..." I smiled stuffing the last of my novels into a box.
Once everything was packed up we stuffed the boxes into the back seat and drove our way to the Carrousel du Louvre shopping centre, and at least five different girls tried to flirt with River right in front of me. A perky blonde waitress at the coffee stand was getting on my last nerves.
"Tu es très beau, tu devrais revenir?"You are very handsome, you should come back sometime, "I'll be waiting."
"Tu vas attendre très longtemps," I replied in place of him,You'll be waiting a very long time.
"I was not talking to you." She scoffed and winked at him,
"Je ne suis pas intéressé et tu es impoli envers ma copine en ma présence." River replied, taking away the tip we were about to give her,I'm not interested and you're being rude to my girlfriend in my presence.
"Tu peux faire tellement mieux que ça."You can do so much better than that, she scoffed bitterly,
"There'sno onebetter than her." He said spitefully and she rolled her eyes.
Once we left the coffee shop I sighed, "Do I literally have to hide you away in a basement at this point, because it looks like everybody either wants to be you or be under you."
"Good luck to them on that." River stated taking a sip from my iced coffee after he literally said he didn't want one, "That's your position."
"Um yeah let's go to the grocery store," I cleared my throat and if I could blush I would’ve been.
I made River push the shopping cart along as I picked out new plates and glasses as well as blankets and fluffy pillows. I also bought a bunch of fruits and vegetables and of course chocolate. By the time we were done River complained that I wouldn’t even eat half the stuff I picked out and that the trolley was full. It was already the afternoon. Just when we were about to go back to the car we passed by a Victoria's Secret outlet and I paused.
"Suddenly I really like shopping," River spoke with a smirk and I smiled, dragging him along with me.
We made our way to the pyjamas section and I couldn't even picture myself in half of the garments on the models but apparently, River could because he handed me this purple set with silver linings, it was a little more revealing than I was used to & it wasreallyexpensive and I sure as hell wasn't going to pay for that.
"No fucking way-" I protested but he gave me a wicked grin,
"I dare you." He challenged and suddenly it was all I wanted to do, and I was going to make him pay for it, which is the only reason that I said,
"Only because I think it's a pretty colour." I made my way into one of the changing rooms, I slipped into it because I knew I'm going to buy it anyway and it looked amazing on me, even I could admit that.
It fits so well and I turned around and admired myself in the mirror, I pulled River in through the door and he lowered his eyes and he practically stripped bare with his gaze alone.
