Sugary Sweet

Holly giggled as she nodded her head, holding onto him happily. She really was grateful to have Joey in her life- she couldn’t help the way she felt around him, the way he actually made her feel good. “Hmmm...” She trailed off teasingly, fingertips drawing small designs on his chest. “I don’t know sugar- depends on if that’s really how ya wanna play it.” She was joking, of course- leaving it up to her, she probably would end up kissing him more than actually watching the movie.

“that’s pretty dope, didn’t actually know you owned a company like that.”

“Yeah- it’s kinda my thin’. That’s why I love clothes an’ shoppin’ so much.”

Holly’s cheeks turned pink as she looked up at him, nodding her head slightly. “Okay,” she whispered, stretching up on her tiptoes to brush their lips together. “Because I wouldn’t want anythin’ta ever change it... I’d miss you if ya weren’t a part’a my life anymore... I’d miss ya a lot.” It felt weird, knowing without a doubt that she could trust him- it was a first for her, but she wouldn’t stop herself from doing it.

“wait, i forgot. what kind of company do you run?” 

“I guess textiles would be the official name- our factories make clothes and thin’s like that.”

A small, sweet smile spread across Holly’s lips as she looked up at her boyfriend, shrugging her shoulders innocently. “Yeah, I do,” she whispered, nodding her head. “I... I felt alone in this city before you, actually. I had acquaintances, and we met while I was dating Conrad, but... He left, and I was alone. I didn’t have anyone to go to, until I thought about you... And sometimes now I think that it’s not so much that the city is my home, but that... you are.”

Holly held his hand as they walked, thinking to herself curiously as she tilted her head slightly. “I don’t know. I miss home, I think. But the city... I’ve lived here for eleven years, ya know? It’s familiar. Why?”

“Oooh a boyfriend uh? Do I need to give him the talk about how if he hurts you, I’ll hurt him?” She raised an eyebrow, “How come you wanna move?”

“Joey is the sweetest guy I’ve ever met- I don’t think he even knows how’ta hurt me,” Holly giggled shaking her head. “This place just- well. Honestly, I wan’ta a bigger closet.”

“it can happen sometime, don’t worry because you have lots of time to leave. oh what’s with the company?” 

“Just normal stuff. I’m runnin’ it, sometimes I just have’ta leave for meetin’s and stuff. Ain’t reall all that big’a deal.”

Holly giggled as she switched her shoes over, tilting her head slightly. “Ummmm... Red, yeah, red. I ain’t really ever thought ‘bout somethin’ like that before, actually.”

“it was hectic, but now i’m just flowing with the boat. i traveled a lot, lived in london for a year, did online schooling for a year, now i’m back in the city i love.” 

“At least- I’d love’ta leave, honestly. And I do, when I’ve got thin’s’ta handle with the company, but...”

“So what have you been up to lately? Other then cooking that is.”

“Just spendin’ time with my new boyfriend, honestly. I ain’t really been doin’ too much. Lookin’ for a new apartment.”

“Great, I guess. Ain’t really been doin’ much. What ‘bout you?”
