[Wednesday, June 28, 2009]
MM to Kittenā: What're you up to? How are you feeling? This is your daily, Z loves you and is going to bother you because she hates being an adult and wants to see your face.
MM to Zeeš¬: So fucking sore. And Vieve is skipping practice AGAIN to stay home and watch over me. I swear to god I might strangle her MM to Zeeš¬: I miss your face too ā„ any chance you'll be able to skip out of work early tomorrow and help me and Vieve clear out my flat?? She already went and talked to my boss yesterday
MM to Kittenā: I can most definitely do that, I'll have Pop come sit and stare at the store for a bit. He knows better than to touch anything by now. MM to Kittenā: He's going to be coming by more often anyway to get the hang of our delivery system so he can start one. I think he's also going to be popping in while I'm on vacation. So crazy old dude with glasses? That's my pop. MM to Kittenā: Don't strangle her, you'll feel bad later. MM to Kittenā: Have Cooper come over, with him around will it distract her?
MM to Zeeš¬: Yay! Thank you š MM to Zeeš¬: Ooh that will make it even easier to meet him :) MM to Zeeš¬: Are you kidding? Coop would probably make it worse! He's like uber overprotective big brother
MM to Kittenā: is it bad if I introduce you to pop before the man that I just exchanged I loves you with after open mic? MM to Kittenā: I'm not surprised, tough luck. I don't think I'm very good with Gen distractions.
MM to Zeeš¬: Nope wait WHAT?!!!!! ZEE WHY ARE YOU ONLY TELLING ME NOW MM to Zeeš¬: Dealing with my flat would be a great distraction. Any chance you could duck out early today instead of tomorrow?
MM to Kittenā: you had more important things going on. Hush. We made love. I get goosebumps just remembering. MM to Kittenā: totally. Just give me a second to call pop. It'll just take a few minutes
MM to Zeeš¬: Awwwwww this would have been wonderful to know sooner ā„ don't do that again k? MM to Zeeš¬: But seriously, I'm so happy for you! MM to Zeeš¬: OH YAY! I will tell Vieve now!
MM to Kittenā: I promise I won't anymore. I only waited two days. That's not long at all. I've never done that before. MM to Kittenā: thanks. It felt good to say. MM to Kittenā: I'll come to you, then we can all leave together?
MM to Zeeš¬: It's Wednesday, open mic was on Friday. It's been more than two days >.> you can dish all the details later though ā„ MM to Zeeš¬: Umm okay I'll tell Vieve to adjust the wards
MM to Kittenā: your timeline is correct, you're just missing the fact that most of Saturday was spent enjoying each other MM to Kittenā: no need, really. I'm going to apparate to the corner of her street.
MM to Zeeš¬: Yes but you could have told me in the hospital, it would have been a great distraction! MM to Zeeš¬: Oooh perfect! We'll see you soon then ā„
MM to Kittenā:I promise I'll remember for next time. No, there won't ever be a next time you won't ever be there again. MM to Kittenā: I love you so much, just in case we haven't exchanged them yet. I do. It's tacky as hell over text, I promise to get on one knee and propose to be best friends forever soon. MM to Kittenā: I'll surprise you with it.
MM to Zeeš¬: I love you too! MM to Zeeš¬: DOES THIS MEAN WE GET TO DO A BEST FRIENDS WEDDING??? MM to Zeeš¬: Cause that should totally be a thing! I'll even get you a ring ;)
MM to Kittenā: Ha, I don't think Hyperion will let us. He has this thing about being the first and last to do things haha. MM to Kittenā: If you can get him to totally go for it, I'll so best friend marry you at like... Someplace ridiculous! An amusement park or something haha
MM to Zeeš¬: Lol I will totally get him to approve!
MM to Kittenā: Can I be there when you do? haha
MM to Zeeš¬: Lol yes! We'll do it after the proposal, together ;)
MM to Kittenā: Hahaha oh it'll be perfect.
[Friday, June 30]
MM to Zeeš¬: OMG GEN IS ACTUALLY LETTING ME LEAVE THE HOUSE WITHOUT HER MM to Zeeš¬: I'm going to Phillip's ;)
MM to Kittenā: Are you allowed to leave or did you knock her out? ;) MM to Kittenā: my favorite squeak! Tell him I say hello! What will you two be doing, missy? ;)
MM to Zeeš¬: I'm allowed! She totally texted him and made him promise the wouldn't let anything happen to me!! MM to Zeeš¬: Dessert ;) Though I think that might be literally? I meant it as a euphemism but you know how those things go over his head haha
MM to Kittenā: How did you work that magic?! MM to Kittenā: haha oh, poor Squeak. He gets in his own way. Is he making it or are you bringing it? It's very cute. Dessert. MM to Kittenā: you could always make a comment about him eating you right up.
MM to Zeeš¬: Well she was texting Coop while I was texting Phillip and I think she wanted to keep texting him without me around MM to Zeeš¬: He said something about making a fantastic caramel flan, but I'm not sure! We'll see! MM to Zeeš¬: Omg I so will!!! Okay, I'm flooing over now, I'll send you updates when I can ;)
MM to Kitten ā: oh my holy Helga. You must really like Philip, you aren't nosey enough to figure out why your sister wants you gone haha MM to Kitten ā: have fun! I think we are doing movie night or something so I'll be here. Prego is waddling all over the flat today. š
MM to Zeeš¬: Shut up. I will find out! You know me ;) MM to Zeeš¬: Aww give her extra pets from me ā„
MM to Kittenā: I will send her your love when she's done nothing the Hyperion. I love you have fun! š gods I'm such a mom.
[Later that night]
MM to Zeeš¬: [picture message of table spread with caramel flan and candles lit] MM to Zeeš¬: [picture message of Addi in a borrowed t-shirt] MM to Zeeš¬: Keeping things PG but staying the night because GEN IS STAYING THE NIGHT WITH COOP AND IT IS SOOOOO NOT PG MM to Zeeš¬: Love you! I'll talk to you tomorrow ā„ā„ā„
[Saturday, July 1]
MM to Zeeš¬: PHILLIP MADE ME BREAKFAST IN BED ZEE MM to Zeeš¬: What is even happening? I don't understand!!! MM to Zeeš¬: Like, he hasn't even kissed me and he HAS to know I would totally get naked with him
MM to Kittenā: oh you're so loud so early. You're lucky I'm a spoiled brat. ;) MM to Kittenā: enjoy it! You're being romanced. Wait til you get that rush... You're going to love it, if you don't already. MM to Kittenā: let him sweep you off your feet. It's amazing. I promise you. I mean... it runs in the family, this romance streak. You remember our first and second date??
MM to Zeeš¬: I have never been romanced before, not like this. It's scaryamazing wild MM to Zeeš¬:I still don't know if this is what I want? He's so intense! MM to Zeeš¬: He put on Frank Sinatra, Zee. We danced! And we cuddled. And I actually talked him into sharing the bed with me... to SLEEP. Literally. MM to Zeeš¬: He asked if I wanted to go to the zoo with him today. THE ZOO. I told him we had plans. We still have plans right? But I told him we could do it tomorrow MM to Zeeš¬: And so I'm going to the zoo with him tomorrow and I don't think I've ever had a date quite that innocent before and is that even a date??? I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING!
MM to Kittenā: I love you, we can never be roommates. MM to Kittenā: calm down and breathe. We still have plans. Hyperion is going to play with boyfriends. MM to Kittenā: Enjoy it. Stop over thinking and just let him lead. And for heavens sake, tell me when you two finally kiss and if he got up the nerve before you got impatient š¤£ššā¤šā¤
MM to Zeeš¬:Okay but seriously with everything I just went through and it feels really fast for romance and wouldn't it just be easier if it wasn't romance. Sex I can do. I understand sex but this isn't sex and fuck it what am I doing MM to Zeeš¬: Okay breathing. Mostly. And that's what I'm doing, letting him lead. And he held me while we slept and I haven't slept that well all week and it makes me want to cry but in like a good way? Idk MM to Zeeš¬: You know I will so tell you ā„ I'm trying very hard not to be impatient. Something tells me it will be worth it.
MM to Kittenā: Don't think. Don't worry. Just enjoy it. You have a lot going on lately, the new job and everything. MM to Kittenā: deep breathes and remember, he's human too. I want to hug you so tight. MM to Kittenā: what freaks you out the most? Maybe I can help that fear.
MM to Zeeš¬:Me being a muggle. Why would a wizard ever want me for keeps when I have no magic? MM to Zeeš¬: I'm just not used to it. I've always been with magical people, you know, but none of them have ever seemed really serious about me because I'm a muggle MM to Zeeš¬: I can't wait to start the new job on Monday! I'm so excited for it!!
MM to Kittenā: You're not alone, it's all new for me too. I made love for the first time the other day. Take it from me, you're worth it. MM to Kittenā: let him spoil you. It's kind of amazing when someone cares enough to do little things just because they know it'll make you smile. MM to Kittenā: You're going to be amazing! I can't wait to see what you do. We need to Celebrate at the end of your first week for a successful first week.
MM to Zeeš¬:But you're a witch Thanks babe ā„ MM to Zeeš¬: He does make me smile. I feel ridiculous with how much I smile around him because it's a different sort of smile MM to Zeeš¬: YES! Please let's celebrate!!
MM to Kittenā: babe, going to smack my arse next? ;) MM to Kittenā We can to wherever you want, promise. No boys allowed if you want.
MM to Zeeš¬: Maybe ;) MM to Zeeš¬: Heh a girl's night would be fun again ā„ MM to Zeeš¬: Okay I'm heading home to shower and get ready. I'll floo to you after?
MM to Kittenā: perfect I'll see you soon!!
[Sunday, July 2 | morning, not sent]
MM to Zeeš¬:Idk what to wear! It should be like shorts or a dress or something right? I mean it's the zoo in the summer. But my legs are so ridiculously scarred and I'm trying not to make Vieve help me with glamours too much because she always gets really down about it but
[night]
MM to Zeeš¬:Phillip is kind of amazing. He's so fucking sweet. Are you sure I deserve this??? MM to Zeeš¬: Petting zoos are like the most therapeutic thing in the world MM to Zeeš¬: I wonder if Vieve would let me get a pet... I know the kitties will be here soon, but I think I want a puppy
MM to Kittenā: did you have fun?! MM to Kittenā: A puppy seems more your style. Thinking small enough to have on you often or big enough that it weighs more than you??
MM to Zeeš¬: I did :) MM to Zeeš¬: Ummm not massive but not itty bitty either
MM to Kittenā: Rolf can help you find just the perfect pet if you'd like? He owns The Beastiery. Or his family does rather.
MM to Zeeš¬: Oooh I'll have to pop in there soon then! MM to Zeeš¬: I can't believe how tired I am tonight
MM to Kittenā: why so tired? Just playing with the baby animals? How was the date? Did you kiss?!
MM to Zeeš¬: Lots of walking and lots of playing with the babies!! They were too precious MM to Zeeš¬: No kisses still :( I'm going insane! But at the same time it's only been a week since Roberto and I'm kind of okay with not rushing right now MM to Zeeš¬: There was lots of hand holding and looks though :) he's ridiculously sweet, like the definition of true gentleman
MM to Kittenā: I think you're smitten. ;) MM to Kittenā: really though I'm so very glad you guys hit it off. As much as he's confusing you, it's very cute. š
MM to Zeeš¬: Shut up. MM to Zeeš¬:I kind of am though MM to Zeeš¬: It's weird. What kind of guy doesn't want to make out with a willing woman he's obviously attracted to???
MM to Kittenā: I will not shut up, it's cute and a good thing. He's a good guy. MM to Kittenā: the sort that are genuine good guys. I actually liked that Hyperion made it a game before we first kissed. It made that first kiss so much more... electric.
MM to Zeeš¬: I know he is ā„ MM to Zeeš¬: Well yes but we've been flirting off and on all month! MM to Zeeš¬: And this weekend has included some very date-like things! MM to Zeeš¬: AND we slept snuggled up together! MM to Zeeš¬: I gave him a kiss on the cheek good night and he seemed ridiculously pleased by it
MM to Kittenā: I'm stubborn and play games, it's why I didn't kiss him first. MM to Kittenā: but you could always totally kiss him first. Grab him by the face and plant one on him.
MM to Zeeš¬: Idk if I want to do that MM to Zeeš¬: I'm kiiiiiiiiind of curious to see how long it will take him to do it on his own
MM to Kittenā: oh can we make this a bet?
MM to Zeeš¬: Haha everything can be a bet!
MM to Kittenā: I call dibs on a week from today. MM to Kittenā: You're irresistible
MM to Zeeš¬: Awww thanks sweetie pie ā„ MM to Zeeš¬: I think it's going to take him two more weeks MM to Zeeš¬: Though it's probably not fair for me to bet since I have some control over this whole thing! Lol
MM to Kittenā: it's fair because if you kiss him first you have to... do something. I'll figure it out. But besides that, I'm curious and I want you to be you. MM to Kittenā: I don't think you can sway it because you'll be you, does any of that make sense? I'm making a weird face >.<
MM to Zeeš¬: LOL umm I think so? MM to Zeeš¬: Okay, so I can't kiss him first or I lose the bet. Good to know. MM to Zeeš¬: What are the terms this time??
MM to Kittenā: Basically, yes. MM to Kittenā: I don't know. We already have tattoos, I still have to pick those out... MM to Kittenā: I'm half tempted to make Hyperion get something that'll forever remind him of me, just in case we break up. I want other bitches to know I was there first, ahem. Though from the way he talks... I don't think there's going to be women after me. MM to Kittenā: What do you want if you win?
MM to Zeeš¬: Yes, you do! I'm excited to see what you choose ā„ MM to Zeeš¬: Ha! I don't think there will be any women after you, so he would probably get it MM to Zeeš¬: Omg I'm not sure!! Let me think about it
MM to Kittenā: I can't wait. I'm going to start looking now. We should have a set a size limit. I was thinking about having you both show me where you want it and then I'll pick... MM to Kittenā: That's my favorite thing he says to me. MM to Kittenā: Ha, get back to me.
MM to Zeeš¬: I'm tempted to say my ass ;) MM to Zeeš¬: I will!
MM to Kittenā: You can but then I'm choosing my signature. Your arse will be mine. MM to Kittenā: Love you!
MM to Zeeš¬: Lol love you too!
Monday July 4 | morning]
MM to Kittenā: [New Picture Message] (Picture of Zahara blowing a kiss while Hyperion is in the background making a face and photo bombing) MM to Kittenā: have a good first day of work!!! MM to Kittenā: Remember I'm right up the road if you need me!! MM to Kittenā: I love you! šš sending my Hufflepuff hearts for good luck!
MM to Zeeš¬: Thanks!!! ā„ā„ā„
[night]
MM to Zeeš¬: I. Love. Magic. Omg. MM to Zeeš¬: 1 day in and I'm in love MM to Zeeš¬: And a couple of my new coworkers promised to bring me some of their old books on magic in fashion!!! And I just have SO MANY IDEAS already!
MM to Kittenā: Well, I mean... you love magic like I love muggle things so of course you're even more in love!! MM to Kittenā: I'm sure you wouldn't have gotten the lecture from your boyfriend about proper wand educate when dating an auror MM to Kittenā: tell me all about it! I want to see the books and all the things you're doing!!! Though I imagine that's frowned on
MM to Zeeš¬: I really do!!! ā„ MM to Zeeš¬: Haha omg no if I had a wand, it would never leave my sight MM to Zeeš¬: Why would it be frowned on?? I'm totally going to want your help testing things. I can theorize plenty, but I'd feel so much better about things if I could collab more with my design team on the actual making and knowing the spells involved would make a HUGE difference
MM to Kittenā: I maybe left his flat without it, tried breaking in but he was alerted. Long story short, I now have a holder that allows me to keep it close MM to Kittenā: some wizards don't like sharing things like that. They play it very close to the chest. Some with good reason, like Dora and being a bad ass with charms. Others are just because they are selfish.
MM to Zeeš¬: Omg you are so ridiculous MM to Zeeš¬: Oooooh well it's not really like that, I mean these books could be bought by anyone right? I just want to be able to make suggestions and stuff, be more involved :)
MM to Kittenā: I maybe left without it even after he sat me down.... TO BE FAIR! I pulled him into the bed and we rolled around for .2 seconds, which is apparently enough to scramble my brain. MM to Kittenā: Oh perfect! No need to ask permission then. I'd love to help you. MM to Kittenā: Just name the time and place, you know where to find me ;)
MM to Zeeš¬: OMG! That is no excuse! And you know me, that's almost always the perfect excuse for anything MM to Zeeš¬: I'll let you know!! ā„
MM to Kittenā: I know, I know. As sexy as seriousHyp! is? I don't want another lecture. I'm also certain that if I don't? I could likely end up dead. He's very good at his job, I have to imagine he has a lot of enemies. MM to Kittenā: I did ask him to practice with me, we're doing both magical defense and physical. No one told me it was this much work dating an auror, I might need to rethink this. ;)
MM to Zeeš¬: Omg I bet he gives really scary lectures cause I didn't even know serious!Hype existed ;) MM to Zeeš¬: Oooooooh but that's good! That you guys are practicing together I mean
MM to Kittenā: seriousHyp! Is sexy as hell, I won't lie. I want to role play with him sometime something head master and student or something. MM to Kittenā: I would say auror and bad little witch but I don't think that's fair when your boyfriend is an auror? It would be like playing doctor and patient with Perse. She would just give you an exam
MM to Zeeš¬: Oooooh that sounds fun! I wonder if Phillip would ever do something like that? MM to Zeeš¬: Haha right! Though maybe you could swap roles? You can pretend to be the auror and he could be the naughty wizard ;)
MM to Kittenā: I fit into my uniform still.. well mostly all of me. The top has to stay mostly open. I can fix that. MM to Kiitenā:Oh! I really like that idea.. I wonder if he would let me. MM to Kittenā: let's do lunch in a couple weeks, once you're settled in at the new job and made friends with everyone
MM to Zeeš¬: I don't think he would complain if the top stayed mostly open ;) MM to Zeeš¬: Lol why wouldn't he? MM to Zeeš¬: Lunch sounds great! Though I've already made friends with everyone ;) Why wouldn't they love me?? Hehe
MM to Kittenā: Some men can be strange. I know it isn't in his personality but I still worry. MM to Kittenā: I figured you wouldn't have a problem. So don't come off as a snob who is running off to meet up with her favorite person at the end of the block.
MM to Zeeš¬: Don't worry so much! Just enjoy it ;) MM to Zeeš¬: Haha I guess that depends on which end of the block I'm going to MM to Zeeš¬: Omg I didn't mean that! he's not my favorite person Of course you're my favorite!
MM to Kittenā: You're the cutest thing ever. MM to Kittenā: I love you to bits, you're totally smitten. I like this look on you. MM to Kittenā: He can be your favorite person, for now. I expect to get my damn crown back once he finally lays his lips on you.
MM to Zeeš¬: Shut up. MM to Zeeš¬: You'll always be my favorite! ā„
MM to Kittenā: I better be, you're mine too. ♥
[Thursday, July 6 | before Birdie article]
MM to Zeeš¬: OMG ZEE DRACO IS TEXTING ME AND FLIRTING AND WHAT DO I DO???
MM to Kittenā: Oh my goodness. uh... Well, I mean. MM to Kittenā: Do you want to be flirting with him? MM to Kittenā: Does your heart say, hey don't flirt with the guy you had a one night stand with and instead go cuddle Squeak?
MM to Zeeš¬: Have you MET ME?! I always want to flirt. It's my default! MM to Zeeš¬: But I didn't. I mean, I don't think I did? Should I tell him outright to stop? I probably should. MM to Zeeš¬: Because I KNOW I would have an amazing time if I went by Draco's shop for lunch like he suggested, but... MM to Zeeš¬: Omg. I don't want to. MM to Zeeš¬: I HAVEN'T EVEN KISSED PHILLIP YET AND I'M TURNING DOWN SOMEONE WHO I KNOW IS AMAZING IN BED WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME???
MM to Kittenā: Should I refer you back to the conversation we had after the gala when Blaise Zabini hit on me and I couldn't look away from Hyperion? MM to Kittenā: HOLY HELGA MM to Kittenā: It's the boys!! It's not us, we're not broken. They clearly just have something about them that draws us in. MM to Kittenā: It must be a Montgomery Men sort of thing.
MM to Zeeš¬: Okay but you'd at least had sex with Hype at that point and were already feeling the big L! I haven't even KISSED Phillip yet MM to Zeeš¬:I'm pretty sure I am broken though MM to Zeeš¬: I can't be doing this right now though, I need to work. Omg. That man.
MM to Kittenā: Honestly? I don't think it would have mattered when I ran into Blaise. I've been so wrapped around Hyperion from day one. I had been talking myself out of hoping he'd call that day when he did, I was trying to talk myself into the whole.. Men wait two days thing. MM to Kittenā: I'll give you the advice you gave me. Just go with it. MM to Kittenā: I know that feeling, I've been late to work far too often. If he has the day off and I work? ... I don't even know why I schedule myself. I have officially given keys to another minion so that she'll open in the mornings for me.
MM to Zeeš¬: Really? MM to Zeeš¬: That's what I'm doing. It's just... MM to Zeeš¬: Awwwww! That's probably smart though :)
MM to Kittenā: Really. I kept thinking about that moment when we were playing war and when our eyes met.. I don't know. It's all sappy and I'm probably looking at the entire night through love tinted goggles now. MM to Kittenā: It's hard as hell because you want to overthink all of it because no one has ever been as fucking amazing as him? MM to Kittenā: it was the smartest thing I did. Morning sex is maybe becoming one of my favorite things... At least when I can get up for it. I won't lie, there's been some rough mornings where I've not gotten much sleep and I have no idea why he's still around after those.
MM to Zeeš¬: Exactly. No one has ever treated me the way he does, like I'm the most important, precious thing in the world MM to Zeeš¬:It's terrifying MM to Zeeš¬: Because he loves you ā„
MM to Kittenā: I don't know why no one has never told you this before now, and I'm sorry that I didn't. I honestly thought that you knew? MM to Kittenā: I'm not saying this to be cheesy either. MM to Kittenā: You ARE the most important precious thing in the world. You deserve to be treated as such by an amazing man. He's nothing short. This is why I warned you about monogamy. The man plays for keeps. It's not bad a thing. MM to Kittenā: I love him too. It's terrifying as hell but curling up on his chest at night is the best... He's made me a sap.
MM to Zeeš¬:Don't do that. Don't li MM to Zeeš¬: Sometimes when we're just sitting together on his couch talking, it feels like I'm talking to one of my oldest and dearest friends, but then we look at each other, and even though he's gorgeous and I want to kiss him and get him in bed, that's not the driving force anymore and all I really want to do is be wrapped up in his arms where I'm safe and loved MM to Zeeš¬: Omg I can't believe I just sent that word vomit. I'm going to go hide in the fabric room now. I'll catch you later ā„
MM to Kittenā:You're so much worse off than me. MM to Kittenā: I love you to bits, have a good day and stop worrying. That feeling is a good one. It's something to hold onto and not let go.
[Friday, July 7]
MM to Zeeš¬: Phillip and I talked about Things yesterday. He knows I'm scared I'm going to mess this up. MM to Zeeš¬: And then I went to his flat and stayed the night. And again, all we did was talk and cuddle. And he held me while we slept again. MM to Zeeš¬:I could fall in love with him. I think I... How is this possible? Love this fast isn't really love, right?
MM to Kittenā: It sounds like you had a pretty awesome night. MM to Kittenā: Did he make anything delicious? I've been craving cheesecake... I might make one tonight.
MM to Zeeš¬: It really was a great night :) he made vodka penne MM to Zeeš¬: He's taking me on another date tomorrow, a picnic in Hyde park and then we're going to an animal shelter to try to find me a puppy! MM to Zeeš¬: Btw cheesecake sounds delicious!
MM to Kittenā: You'll have to send tons of pictures!! MM to Kittenā:I really like that we changed roles and you get to gush to me. It's really good to hear you so happy. MM to Kittenā: I'll save you a slice, if I don't ruin it.
MM to Zeeš¬: If I remember to take them! I might be too busy getting fuzzy creature snuggles ;) MM to Zeeš¬: Yay!!
MM to Kittenā: Mmm I see how it is. See if you get kitten pictures when they're here and tiny little beans. MM to Kittenā: ;)
MM to Zeeš¬: You know you're not going to be able to resist sharing the pics ;)
MM to Kittenā: We'll see. Maybe I'll just share them all with Hyperion. MM to Kittenā: They are his children after all.
MM to Zeeš¬: Hype adores me, he'll give me copies ā„ I could be his sist
