"You are here?!". Valeria shouted running towards Lexi's direction. "Come I baked something, let us eat". She then pulled Lexi and there they sit across each other.
The air is filled with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and warm butter melting over toast. Two lovers sit across from each other at a small wooden table, their fingers brushing together as they reach for the same plate—silent laughter in their eyes.
For a moment, neither speaks, just taking in the comfort of being close again. It's been a week of restless nights and longing messages, but here, in the quiet warmth of morning, it feels as if no time has passed at all.
"But where is Auntie and Uncle?". Lexi asked as she's not able to see them.
"They left early, they have gone to the farm". Valeria said as she continues to take a bite from the bread that she's been holding.
Between bites, their conversation flows effortlessly—small updates about work, dreams, and the trivial details they missed in their absence. But in truth, words aren't even necessary. It's the way they lean in when pouring coffee for each other, the shared smile when they taste something familiar, the way their knees touch beneath the table—tiny gestures speaking volumes.
Outside, the world rushes forward, but in this kitchen, with plates half-empty and hands lingering on coffee mugs, time slows, allowing them to savor every second of their reunion.
After that small talk Lexi unpack her things and give the small things that she have bought for Valeria.
Val's eyes lit up with excitement as she saw that Lexi has bought groceries and other stuff for baking. She truly knows how to make the heart of her love ones happy.
Their body touch together as Valeria give Lexi a warm hug, a thank you for the gifts and time for her.
"Thank you for this". Valeria smiled warmly at Lexi.
A hand pats her head, Lexi's gestures that she love so much.
Bed time came and so before the day end Lexi talk to Valeria about the things that has been bothering her.
"Val". A serious voice came out of Lexi's mouth.
"Hmm?". Valeria shortly answered, she was making bed for them to sleep on while Lexi was there at the bathroom drying her face after just washing it.
"I have something to ask you". She shortly said as they both sat on the bed. She looked at her with nervousness. " So I was planning to tell our story around the world...I was actually trying to you know make it my first work at my new job".
Since Lexi get the job as an animator she has been trying to make a story but nothing came up on her mind as she's been thinking about turning their love story into a movie for people to see.
"I mean I would not force you if you didn't want to, that's why I am trying to get your consent". She said.
"Are you kidding me? Of course I want to!". She excitedly exclaim her eyes lit up like a child. "Make me the muse of your every work. I permit you for that". She smile happily like a child.
A happy thoughts filled their room, a feeling that they have been yearning since parting away.
