no more

It had been a relatively long day on set, but then again, what Monday wasn’t just that? Two days off - when available - was just something that took a toll come the work week starting back up. And of course, Mariska was up bright and early to get it all started as soon as possible. Call times before nine in the morning should be outlawed! A proposition she would certainly sign on the dotted line for, but such was life. It didn’t help that recent conversations sat heavy on the seasoned actress’ heart. No, that just kind of made everything drag on all the more. All she wanted to do was call cut, pack up and head on over to her fiancée’s house, so they could figure everything out and possibly start planning more for the future. Fiancée. It was still such a foreign word, but it brought the biggest smile to her face every time a simple thought of Stephanie popped into her head; not to mention when someone brought up the woman, their engagement, her ring... Honestly, that list was long. Just about anything Stephanie could make her smile, and it had been the case for as long as she could remember. It just beamed brighter now than ever before.

She couldn’t get off set faster than she did had their been a fire. Nothing was going to keep her from making her way over to her other half’s home. Her better half, if you will. The younger woman would probably argue it - if not eat it up - but they knew the truth. Mariska would always feel as though the woman that she loved was far better than she was, even if she knew there was an equal. It wasn’t something she’d back down from either. However, that was all neither here nor there. Italian from the spot they had originally shared a meal from over a year ago was purchased, in a nostalgic manner, before she found herself planted on the blonde’s door step. Sneaker clad feet quickly brought her inside and up to the woman’s penthouse door before knuckles wrapped lightly against it. A sense of giddiness bubbled within her as she stood waiting for the other woman to answer the door. A giddiness that was always present when Stephanie was around. And despite her not being seen, the woman’s presence was about to be bestowed upon her. Kisses. Hugs. Simply seeing her. All of which helped dampen the feelings that had previously bubbled up. If nothing else, she knew they would come out on the other end with a level of understanding and agreement. They had been through so much over time, and look where they were now! Anything was possible between them.

That’s what you call an “off” day, and I’ve had many. I could be holding my phone and still remain to look for it. I don’t think i’d go that far, other then my classes, but i’d be lying if i said i wouldn;t have laughed at your friend for that either.  You know what, it’s better to just think like that instead. Unless my brains being a complete ass and i’m forgetting something extremely important one day and never remember.

Seriously! I laughed far more than I should, honestly, because I was the ass that didn’t point it out to them. If I never remember what I was looking for, then I wouldn’t be too mad about it, honestly. No skin off my teeth!

Pinching I can deal with. I’ll just pinch you back. Keep the ones who have seen you naked close is my motto so I’m glad you feel the same.

A tit for tat method will most likely leave us both bruised, if that’s the case. That sounds about right to me. I’m not too sure what that says about us, but it’s not something I’m going to think too much about.

August is really that tall?! I feel like I haven’t seen him in forever so that’s a bit surprising to me. Wedding planning is so much fun! Once you pick a season everything gets exciting! Winter, spring, summer, fall… each one brings a slew of different colors and venues.

He’s up to my chest these days! I’m not super tall, but I’m short... And his father is well over six feet. I have good faith that he’s going to be quite the gentle giant. Soon! Once everything is solidified, it’ll all come together.

Durable water balloons covered in a thin layer of something that shouldn’t be thrown at others. I slept until noon which I am not sorry for but duty called so my lazy butt had to get up. Ohh? A good plan? I need to hear these plan details.

I just imagined someone trying to actually throw a lubed up water balloon, and it was far too amusing, even if gross. Would you have continued to sleep, if you didn’t have to get up? Because honestly, I couldn’t even blame you for doing so! Oh no, it’s something I would rather show you than tell you!

Perhaps we should have said conversation this evening if kids are still with your prior other half? So we can make sure we’re on the same page? I have to work until about 9 but we can meet after that.

There are no kids present, so we can certainly make that happen! I just got done work and can head on over to your place, unless you were looking to come to mine. I’ll bring us something to eat and fully intend on setting up shop for the rest of the night!

If you leave without buying anything it could look like to stolen something. Well, you’ll be fine ‘til you need whatever it was you forgot to buy. Sunday is bagel day. Everyday is bagel day. 

I highly doubt they’d think we stole anything, but there’s always that one person who could think that’s the case. Hopefully, I figure out what it is I needed tomorrow before I get home again. I only ever want to tuck myself away at the end of the night. Everyday is indeed bagel day, but admittedly, I don’t eat them all too often. One just can’t pass up a good spread!

I have no idea! It was meant to be funny so don’t make it so serious. Obviously, I just went back to sleep so you should have come over to my place with said bagel to wake me up.

I’m not making it serious! I said durable water balloons! There is nothing serious about those! I think you’ve deserve the right to sleep the day away, after all of the hours you put in the last month or so at work! I’ve got a plan to keep you up, actually, and it’s a good one.

I think glasses has to be the #1 spot of misplacement when they remain on your head - Or phone, and it’s in your hand. It scares you a little, but especially the part where you know you got up for something just seconds ago and it’s just erased itself from your brain. It’s worse when it is important though….that just adds some major stress to when you do suddenly remember! A real struggle.

I watched a friend try to look for their phone while using the flashlight on their phone before. It was quite literally the best thing I had ever seen! I’m under the assumption that if it was important, I wouldn’t have forgotten about it, though, so I don’t usually stress all that much.

Maybe? I’m not sure we can say what would have changed the outcome but conversations would make me feel more solid about my place in this all. Come cuddle. Or do I need to come to you because of little ones?

I just sighed probably louder than I should have. I more than okay with having said conversations! I’ve very much like to be on the same page. No kiddos are present, so I can come your way. I expect kisses at the door!

Promises you better keep. I put a ring on it but they have another parent. This whole thing is starting to confuse me and make me wonder if conversations should have existed before the diamond. Your bubble can remain in tact if it helps you sleep at night, sweetcheeks.

Ohh, I fully intend to do just that. Would said conversations have changed the outcome? You actually help me sleep better at night, and I’m demanding cuddles and stuff tonight, okay? Okay! My bubble can pop, if need be. 

Condoms. You went to buy condoms. Perhaps it’s a mix of the old age, cold, and exhaustion? That seems the most plausible out of this situation. I forgot to get out of bed today so my mind must be going as well. Why don’t you brag about your bagel some more?

What would I even do with condoms?! Other than make very durable water balloons, of course. I feel as though old age should have been ruled out, but another year’s rapidly approaching. I don’t remember getting this old! It feels like only yesterday that I was in the prime of my life! Although, I suppose this could be the prime. My bagel was soooo good. I may have gotten you one and put it in the fridge, if you can manage to get out of bed and make your way here. 

Staying tiny forever could cause many complications in life so let’s hope that never actually becomes a thing. Slowing down life I will forever hope for because I adore my children more than life itself! But wedding planning, Mariska! It’s so much fun! I planned my wedding to Brittany all by myself and I swear it was one of the most rewarding things ever.

Agreed! On all accounts. I’d very much like my little ones to stop growing at the rate they are! August is almost as tall as me, now. But wedding planning, Anna! It’s all so new. It will happen soon enough! And I may just ask for your help!

Please, you wouldn’t call the cops because that means I would go to federal prison or pay a huge fine which would result in our friendship ending. Is that worth seeing my face over?!

No, I wouldn’t call you, but I’d probably pinch you or something, if I saw you actually opening everything. Our friendship is far too important to lose. 

I do that just walking into another room, but least it doesn’t look as odd when you’re by yourself then trying to re track yourself i public. The upside is clearly the breakfast, even if you do wake up in the middle of the night like “shit” remembering what you needed….cause that’s happened to me way too many times.

Oh don’t get me started on that one! I’ve searched my entire house for my glasses that were perched upon my head before. Home mishaps are something that happen to me far more than I’d ever admit. I’ve yet to remember what it was that I was supposed to get, so I think it’s safe to say that it wasn’t even remotely important... at least that’s what I keep telling myself.
