Sitting across from you at the kitchen table Connor scrolls through his phone, smiling widely at his screen.Â
âWhat are you doing over there? Whatâs got you so happy?âÂ
âMy instagram memories came up with my close friends stories. Iâm just rewatching all of our videos.âÂ
âOh?âÂ
âYeah, come look.â He motions you over with a subtle nod of his head. Standing you grab your cup of tea and move over to his side of the table so you can see his phone too. âLook this was when we first moved in.â
âAwe I remember that day!âÂ
âWhy are you filming me?â
âWhat do you mean, why am I filming you? Iâm documenting this moment.â
âYeah, well you could be opening boxes, mister. Weâre moving in, not just me.â
Connor pouts his lips, though you canât see it on camera. âI want to remember this moment five years from now.â
âI know, but I would like to have our bedroom done so we donât have to sleep on the couch tonight,â you raise a challenging eyebrow.
âOkay, okay, you win. Iâm putting it away, but first,â he leans forward and the video goes dark as his phone hits my chest when he kisses me.Â
âSee,â He looks over at you, âIâm still glad I recorded that, and Iâll still be glad 4 more years from now.âÂ
âOkay, whatever.â You roll your eyes, looking back at his phone as he clicks over into another memory. âAwe this one is my favorite.âÂ
âConnor, why must you record everything?â
âI like to document my moments, stop judging me!â He whines, walking back around the kitchen island to stand behind you.Â
âOkay but why do we need to document this? Iâm just making cookies?âÂ
âWeâre making cookies. Iâm helping!â
âHow? By pouring more wine in my glass?â
âMhm and by giving you kisses!â He smiles, cheeks bright pink from the three glasses of wine heâs had.Â
âThatâs so much help Bubba, thank you.âÂ
With a cheesy smile he leans in and plants a loud kiss to your cheek. âMuah!âÂ
âOkay, I gotta get the dough on the pan so can you step aside?â
âYou donât want my cuddles?âÂ
âI do Bubba, but if you want cookies I need you to step aside for a moment.âÂ
âYou donât want my cuddles, thatâs mean.â He pouts dramatically. Wine drunk Connor is very needy and dramatic.Â
âBubba,â You sigh, looking up at him. Right when you meet his gaze you notice the mischief in his eyes and before you can even prepare for it, heâs smeared cookie dough right across your lips. âConnor!â You gasp as a giggle escapes his lips.
âWhoopsies.â He laughs, leaning back with a hand on his stomach.Â
âI cannot believe you just did that.â You glare at him.
âYou got a little something,â He points to your lips. âRight there.â
âWow,â You shake your head, âI wonder why.âÂ
âHere, Iâll get it.â He leans down, kissing the dough from your lips.
âYou just wanted cookie dough, sneaky sneaky boy.âÂ
He simply just grins at you, giving you one more kiss before stepping to the side like you asked.Â
âIâm still upset with you for doing that.âÂ
âTotally worth it.â He snickers, clicking over to the next memory. âOh! Do you remember this?âÂ
I shake my head at him, although not at all able to hide my smile. âOur first dance in the kitchen. How could I not?â
Connor sets his phone on the island and comes back to stand between your legs where you sit on the counter, your mug of tea in your hands.Â
âReally? More recording?â
âI thought we were done judging, hmm?â
You sigh, âYes, youâre right. Iâm sorry. Iâm done.â You take your phone from the space beside you and open Spotify. âThis song came on at work the other day, and it made me think of you. You wanna hear it?â
âMhm,â he nods, grinning brightly at you. âPlay it for me.âÂ
You press play and let the song fill the kitchen. You hum along once it gets to the chorus.Â
âItâs not just picture perfect dancing in a white dress / itâs not just rainy days where nothing stops the fighting / Itâs not just highs and lows and champagne toasts / Iâve come to know that loveâs not only he best days or the worst days / Love is the Tuesdaysâ
Connor smiles at you and holds his hand out.
You look at him with a furrowed brow, âWhat?â
âDance with me,â He says simply.
âYeah?â
âDance with me,â he insists, taking your mug from your hand and setting it on the counter, then taking both of your free hands and slides you off the counter.Â
You smile softly, wrapping your arms around his neck, resting your head on his chest. His arms wrap loosely around your waist and he places his head on top of yours. You exhale deeply, pressing yourself further into his chest as you two begin to sway. Connorâs lips press softly to your temple while he starts humming along with you.Â
âNo, itâs not Hollywood sun âcause troubles will come / But itâs the best decision youâre ever gonna make / And youâve got my blessing but just hear this lessonâ
You look up at him, and when he looks down to check on you, you can see the love in his eyes. And you know it matches the love in yours.Â
âYou gonna kiss me or what, Brashier?â
He canât help but chuckle. He shakes his head and leans down, capturing your lips with his in the softest, but most loving kiss.Â
âThatâs still one of my favorite days.â
âMine too,â he mumbles, looking back at you.
âWhat? Why are you looking at me like that?â
âYou gonna kiss me or what?â He jokes.Â
You roll your eyes, but lean down to kiss him, once again soft, but loving. He pulls away when he hears the next video start to play.Â
âOh this one!â He smiles, starting it from the beginning. âYouâre so cute here.âÂ
The mug reads, âNot Paint Waterâ and his hand is curled around the handle as he moves forward towards you. The more he moves the more in focus you become. There you sit at the table, your laptop open in front of you. Youâre resting your head on your hand as you read something over.Â
âHowâs it going Pretty Girl?â He asks softly, knowing sheâs starting to get a stress headache.Â
âI swear Iâm gonna quit. Drop out, Iâll find something else to do. Who says you need a degree to start a business?âÂ
He smiles, snickering a bit. Thatâs the answer he usually always gets. âI made you tea.â He says setting the mug down on the table in front of her.Â
The look he receives alone is worth the trouble of boiling the water. You look up with the softest eyes and the cutest pout on your lips. âYou made me tea?âÂ
âMhm, youâre favorite. Vanilla Chai!â
At this you slouch and stare at him. âThank you. Thatâs so sweet of you.âÂ
âAnything for my Pretty Girl.â He leans over the table to kiss your cheek, giving the view of the wall behind you. When he pulls back the camera goes back into focus, âOkay, Iâll stop distracting you. Drink your tea and try to relax okay?âÂ
âOkay, just for my Bubba.âÂ
âGood.âÂ
âI am not cute.â You roll your eyes.
âSo cute. I make you tea everyday just to get that look.Â
âYou do not.âÂ
âI do.â He nods, âOh my gosh! I forgot about this one!â He says as the next memory appears.Â
âWell if it isnât my hard working girl.â Connor says, the bell above the door dinging as he walks in.Â
You smile wide. âHey, you. What are you doing here?â
âI finished editing. Wanted to come and see my pretty girl.â Wanted to make sure she had lunch,â he says, holding out a bag to her.Â
âWow, you take such good care of me,â you muse, taking the bag from him graciously.Â
âI definitely try. Gotta take good care of the girl who does basically everything for me.â
You roll your eyes, âI do not.â
âYou try to.â
You just shrug, âOh well. You gonna stay and eat with me? No oneâs been in all day, so weâll have no distractions.â
âI can stay for a couple minutes. But Iâm actually going over to your parents house to meet your mom.â
âWhat? Why?â
He smirks, but you once again canât see it on camera. âYouâre not the only one sheâs teaching to cook, missy.â
You gasp, âYouâre learning without me?â
âIâm learning for you. Thereâs a difference. Now, kiss?â
You scrunch up your face, but nod because you canât deny him.Â
âThat was a really good dinner you made that night,â you nod. âStill have dreams about it,â you giggle.
He laughs too, throwing his head back. âWell then I will have to make it again.â
âTonight?â
âSure, weâll go to the store later and get the stuff.â
âOkay,â you kiss his cheek. âAre there anymore?â
âThereâs one more.â He smiles, looking back at the screen. âThis one, this is my absolute favorite.âÂ
Itâs black for a second before thereâs some shuffling and a muttered âOkayâ. In the distance, coming into focus, you stand with Connor, looking up at the stars. Youâre pointing up at the sky and heâs smiling at you.Â
âHeâs gonna do it.â You hear behind the camera, Shawnâs voice recognizable.Â
While you turn a little, back more towards Connor now, you point even further at a collection of stars. Itâs then, with you distracted, that Connor drops to one knee. He digs into his pocket and with sweaty shaking hands he grasps the velvet box. The weight of the box really weighed in his hand as he opened the top and held it out to you.Â
You canât hear it, but he calls your name making you turn towards him. When you turn you look down in confusion. Itâs then that your hands fly to your face, covering your mouth as you whisper, âOh my god.âÂ
Shawn then, after realizing, moves his finger from over the mic.Â
âY/n, Iâve loved every moment Iâve ever shared with you. You make the stars shine, the sun rise, and the moon illuminate. I donât ever want to make another memory without you by my side. Do me the honor? Marry Me?âÂ
The faintest âYes,â is said and suddenly Connor is taking you into his arms, kissing you deeply. Behind the camera screams and yells are growing louder, and the angle shifts quickly as Shawn stands from his crouched position behind a bush.Â
The camera cuts as everyone starts running to the newly engaged couple.Â
âYeah,â You sigh, looking down at your decorated finger. âItâs my new favorite too.âÂ
âI canât wait to record all of our moments together.â Connor smiles, looking at you with the softest smile.Â
You take his hand and bring it to your lips, âMaybe recording everything really isnât such a bad thing.â
Connorâs smile brightens, as if that could even be possible at this point. âGlad to see youâre finally coming around. Only took you two years.â
