The things my boyfriend sends me to make me smile.
Today was a fantastic day at work because I've finally printed my first mock-up. I managed to convince my designer to add my face into the editor's note and seeing it printed gave me such a swell of pride. I am officially the vainest editor I know.
After that was yet another IPL session. All my IPL sessions eat into my potential yoga sessions but it's a balanced sacrifice. I would love to review my IPL parlors (I have 5 different ones oh what a shit decision) but I'm convinced all you readers are male perverts.
Today was also a brilliant day because, frustrated with my previous employer's lack of reply, I finally decided to go straight to my old CEO for an answer on my unresolved salary issue. Within six hours, the issue was closed. My old CEO is the face of efficiency.
This is the most glaring sign yet that I should take the trip to Miami in my stride and get going with it already. My only slight lament now is that this would mean no backpacking, and only Brand New, so they cannot cancel or I'll scream bloody murder.
Gabriel napped before coming over but he still continued lazing when he reached my place, ordering me to make food and get all sorts of things for him. He pulled up an episode of Friends and all my irritation at him ordering me around melted away when he started to laugh.
He has the most infectious laughter. It is more of a guffaw, a word I never thought I'd actually use haha. He laughed so hard that I found myself drawn to him, jumping on him to kiss his cheeks as he continued tickling his funny bone.
It was an episode I watched previously so I watched him watch the show. In between stroking his hair, demanding to get cuddled only to have him hook me and suffocate me in his chest, and lying on his back, I realized I truly found the last source of happiness I'll ever need.
Gabriel fell asleep without warning. Me and my sister only figured it out when we heard the snores. I finished my stuff and finally laid next to him, as he softly stirred from my warm presence. He draped a leg over me securely and continued his slumber.
I never do sleep very well when he's at my place.
Sometimes it's a bad dream, sometimes it's a lack of space, sometimes his snores or stirrings are too disruptive, but I'd end up awake. Still, I'm always glad that I can hold onto his arm and try to fall back asleep again.
Today was no exception. I was woken up by him trying to climb over me because, "Your bed is too hot. I'm gonna sleep on the floor. Can I take this?" as he grabbed my bolster and collapsed back dead asleep on the floor. It was such an adorable sight.
6am and my room was stirring because he was shuffling and getting his stuff ready for work. Usually, I'd sleep through it but today I sat up groggily and tugged on his shirt a lot as he packed. And he patted my head and gave me the longest hug and kissed me gently before leaving.
What a wonderful day. I can only wish for days like this for the rest of my life.
