Nothing seems to be as floral as you, baby A scarlet love and dew-light touches were so sacred
I could never leave your face Shower you with my warm embrace, babe
And I still see that in your eyes I hope that nothing will ever change

A Few Weeks Later
"Efi we should just give up"
We had spent the last 15 minutes driving around while trying to figure out what to do on our dull Friday night.
Efi would usually have a gig tonight but the PeaceMaker is closed for remodeling.
I had gotten out of work not too long ago and just wanted a reason to be around her.
It has been a hectic few weeks since my birthday and in between therapy, the clinic, and helping my mom with remodeling her house, I haven't seen Efi as much as I would like.
She was also was really busy trying to create a new serum that would help the flowers last longer after they'd been picked.
We facetimed when we could, but nothing can compare to being in her presence.
"No, we are going to find something so fun to do that you'll be so grateful and start worshipping the ground I walk on" "You know there's nothing fun to do in this small town"
"That's it!" I turned to glance at her with an eyebrow raised "What?"
"We should drive down to the city" the smile on her face already told me that she had a plan and wouldn't take no as an answer.
We live in upstate New York and don't go down to the city often since it's a 3 hour drive.
I shrugged not opposing her proposition, she clapped her hands excitedly
"Ok if we're going down there then that means we're staying the night because there's no way I'll be driving 3 hours back today"
"You're driving?" I asked pulling into my garage and parking
"Of course I am, you just got out of a 12 hour shift. I can't let the big baby drive after all that." she said the last part in a baby voice while attempting to pinch my cheeks, I swatted her hands away before she could reach my face
"Stop trying to pinch my cheeks" "But you're just so cute" I rolled my eyes playfully
"Ok back to the matter at hand, what are we going to do when we get there?" "I don't know, you're the one planning this with your big ass greasy iPad"
An offended gasp left her lips "My iPad is not greasy you asshole" I reached over and turned off her iPad and all you could see is her greasy finger prints
