“Oh——I’ve had a black olive and ham pizza before, want to try that?” I offered, interlacing my fingers with Gray’s beneath the table.
Next Steps [Private RP — Closed]
Sterling’s POV:
I grinned, gently squeezing Eden’s knee where my hand had been resting. Picking up the menu, I glanced over the choices.
“What about the Crazy Hawaiian pizza? It’s for almost everything on it, except for anchovies, olives, and onions,” I suggested, glancing at Gray.
Eden’s POV:
I scrunched my nose.
“I’m not… I don’t really consume anything pig,” I said hesitantly, scratching the back of my head.
Gray’s POV:
My mouth almost watered at that.
“Perfect,” I said, nodding a little too quickly. “Olives and I don’t get along well. And I hate onions on pizza.”
Eden’s POV:
I scrunched my nose.
“I’m not… I don’t really consume anything pig,” I said hesitantly, scratching the back of my head.
“Right, okay, what about the green and black olive pizza?” I suggested quickly, not wanting her to feel awkward.
Eden’s POV:
I nodded, smiling.
“That sounds good,” I murmured. “But didn’t you want the ham pizza?”
“I’m cool with anything,” I answered, squeezing Gray’s hand beneath the table.
(Skip to the end?
NOT IT)
NOT IT
(HAH!)
(Rude… Lol. I’ll answer later.)
(Rude… Lol. I’ll answer later.)
(😏😏
All righty!)
(Lol.)
Sterling’s POV:
I sighed, actually really full from the pizza. Leaning over, I rested my head on Eden’s shoulder.
“All right… Are we ready to go?” I asked, turning my head to nuzzle my girlfriend’s neck.
Eden’s POV:
I prepared to sneeze, but Sterling’s actions drove it away.
“Y—Yes,” I said, stretching a little. I was proud to say I had finished one slice of pizza, and another half. Wasn’t anything to be proud of, but I couldn’t help myself.
Gray wrapped his arms around Violeta, kissing her on the cheek.
Flushing lightly, I leaned into his touch.
"That was nice, thanks, guys. I can pay?"
Eden’s POV:
I shook my head.
“It’s fine,” I said. “It’s not a problem for me to pay. You don’t have to worry.”
"Why don't we split the bill?" I offered quickly, not wanting her to feel pressured. "We all bought something, it's not fair for just you to pay."
Gray’s POV:
“I agree,” I nodded. “We can split the bill.”
Eden chewed on her bottom lip, contemplating whether to accept or not.
“I can pay, you know,” she said, looking convincing.
“It’s fine,” I said as I took out my wallet. “It’s only fair.”
I pulled my wallet from my back pocket as well just as a waitress came by with the bill. "How much is it?"
(Okay so I just finished re-reading this whole thing and
- I love it so much
- I just realized that I kept mixing up the name of Violeta’s roommate, sometimes calling her Lillian, and other times Trinity. Her name is Lillian, lmao sorry for the mix ups
- I sort of want to do a thing where Violeta’s little sister FaceTimes her in front of Gray/the others bc it would be adorable…. is that okay by you two?)
- I love it, too! :D
- Omg, I didn’t even notice. 🤣🤣
- And Yes, it works! :D
Lol great 😂
Great! :D
(1: Yes, definitely! It’s adorable.
2: Lol. I didn’t either.
3: Of course!)
Sterling’s POV:
I sighed and checked the bill. I would have paid for it all myself, but of corse that wasn’t going to happen. Whatever, it wasn’t a big deal.
“$22.50,” I answered. “A little over five dollars each. And I’m paying for you, Eden, whether or not you want me to.”
Eden’s POV:
I frowned, crossing my arms.
“Sterling, I can pay for myself,” I insisted. “You know very well that I can. You don’t have to do it every time!”
I watched them argue, glancing up at Gray. My fingers twined themselves with his beneath the table, a happy smile finding its way onto my face.
Gray’s POV:
I smiled to myself as Violeta linked over fingers together, and I clasped them together.
Eden’s POV:
I frowned, crossing my arms.
“Sterling, I can pay for myself,” I insisted. “You know very well that I can. You don’t have to do it every time!”
Sterling’s POV:
I smiled and leaned over to kiss her nose before she could move away. She was cute when she was like this, but I wasn’t backing down.
“I know full and well that you can pay for yourself, babe. But I want to pay for you, so I am,” I pressed gently.
Eden's POV:
A pout crossed my lips as he kissed my nose, sighing as I sunk lower on my seat.
"I don't want to leech off of you, Sterling," I protested weakly, knowing I'd already lost. "You never let me pay. For anything."
Sterling’s POV:
I chuckled softly and ruffled her hair. “I know. But you’re not leeching off of me. Plus, you pay for half the rent for the apartment.”
