This is dedicated for Jade's birthday last December 26! I love my Kween Jade so much!!
Jade and Perrie has been in a relationship for years but now, Perrie has been very caught up with work to the point that they don't even talk. And then here comes their anniversary...
Jade's POV
The chilly air that swept in the room through the windows woke me up from my sleep. I instinctively pat the space next to me, only finding it void and cold.
I sighed, she wouldn't be there again, is she?
I stood up and walked to the bathroom to do my routine and when I was done, I went out the room and headed to the place where I suppose she is.
I entered the big wooden door to her study and I saw her there. She is sitting on the swivel chair, her hands both holding a paper, she is wearing her glasses and with the stern look on her face, I can tell that she is in a serious state and is really focusing on what she's doing.
I walked towards her and when I reached her, I crouched down to be leveled with her cheek and planted a kiss on it.
"Good morning, baba.", I said.
She put the papers down and she looked at me and smiled sweetly.
"Good morning, baby. Have a good sleep?", she asked me.
"Yeah but you weren't there with me when I woke up.", I whined and pouted at her in which she giggled.
"I'm sorry, baby. I just had to answer an early call from Mr. Steven and I had some paper works to do so I better start it early, yeah?", she said, explaining to me.
"Will you stay with me today? I'll prepare lunch for us.", I said, hoping to lighten up the mood.
"Of course, baba. But I'll just stay in my study majority of the time, is that alright?", she said.
"As if I can do anything about it. It seems like you love your work more than me.", I mumbled and moped around, a sad pout forming on my face.
I looked at her in the eyes and with that look, I can already say that she's feeling guilty. I didn't mean to make her feel like that but there were times that I was so lonely because she's not home and it feels like her work is getting in the way of us. I just want to be with her much more often.
"Sorry, baby. But you know this is for us, right? And besides, I love you above all things. So, don't think like that. That pretty face of yours shouldn't have a pout on it unless, you want a kiss from me, hun?", she stated and with her last sentence, I couldn't keep up with my act and giggled instantly. She really knows how to cheer me up.
"Okay. I love you.", I proclaimed and leaned in to kiss her lips.
"I... love... you... more...", she breathed out in between kisses and pecks in the lips and all over my face.
I can't help but smile and giggle at her antics. When she stopped her sweet actions, I finally decided to make breakfast for the both of us, knowing that she hasn't eaten yet because she always puts her work first.
I went out of her study and went down to the kitchen. I checked the ingredients in the fridge and decided that I will just make an omelette and fry some bacon.
I finished after 15 minutes and I set the table, putting two plates and the omelette and bacon on each. After everything was set, I sighed contentedly and went my way back upstairs to fetch Perrie in her office so we could have some breakfast together.
As I entered her office, I saw her standing and preparing her office bag, carefully putting her paper works in so it won't crumple. She is already wearing a white polo and black slacks, her blonde hair is in a low bun and she is wearing her black heels.
She turned to look at me and I flashed her a look of confusion. She said she'll stay...
"Oh, baby.", she said, quite dismayed.
"I-I just finished cooking b-breakfast for the both of us, thought you'd like to eat with me b-but why are you wearing your office outfit? You said you'll stay.", I quickly intervened.
"Sorry, petal, but something came up and you know I don't want to leave you but they really needed me in the company right now and I-", she explained, rambling which I interrupted.
"I understand. My dismay wouldn't change your decision, yeah? Just go now.", I said, disappointed at her.
We haven't been spending time together lately. We've beginning to drift apart from each other --- which I'm avoiding to happen but with her constant excuses, that is exactly what's happening.
I've been trying so hard so that we could spend time with each other. I've planned dates, ordered tickets to a concert, reserved for dinners and well, as naughty as it sounds, to different hotels and motels we could get after but none of my efforts seem to work. It feels like I'm shooting bullets to a bulletproof room or wall. I just can't seem to get too close.
My trance were cut off when I felt her shifting close to me, not leaving a distance between us. Oh, how I love this feeling. I wish that we can be just like this all the time but sadly, luck's not on my side.
"Baby, Jade, I'm really sorry. I wish I could have lunch with you, you know I would love to but work's waiting for me. I'll try to be home at dinner, yeah?", she stated. My hope still flickered a bit but I don't want to be disappointed anymore.
"It's alright.", I sighed in defeat.
She cupped both my cheeks with her hands and she leaned in to press a lingering kiss on my lips. It was slow yet fast at the same time. It will never be enough for me.
When her hands left my face and the spaces between us became bigger, I felt the cold, chilly air once again --- the same on that woke me up this morning.
-----------------------------------------------------------
It's already 9:30 pm and Perrie hasn't come home yet. I have cooked dinner ages ago and for sure, just like what I'm feeling, it is already cold. We both need Perrie to let us be heated up.
I'm starving and I decided that I wouldn't wait for her now. I've cooked her favorites --- spaghetti and meatballs and chocolate bomb for dessert. Too bad she's not here to devour it all or if I'm fortunate, she'll devour me too.
Oh, Jade, stop the naughty thoughts. She barely have time for you and such doing those things you're imagining.
I ate what I've cooked especially for her in a short time, not really having the appetite when she's not here.
I then went upstairs to our room and laid on my side of the bed with thoughts running to my mind and tears falling to the sheets.
I can't stop the tears from falling. It seems like the only thing that I have been doing these days. When Jesy and I net last week, I just poured ny heart out to her. I told her eveything because I have no one to talk to. The person whom I want to speak to the most doesn't even notice me anymore.
The tears kept falling and falling and I became more tired every passing minute.
I miss Perrie... I miss us...
And I didn't notice that I was slowly drifting to sleep.
----------------------------------------------------------
Today is a very special day for both Perrie and I. It's our 6th year anniversary! I can't wait to celebrate it with her.
I woke up to her spooning me. I am always the baby spoon and she is the bigger one. I love this position, it makes me feel warm and protected with her body that is keeping me safe.
I turned around to face her, she is looking so peaceful in her sleep but I am so in the mood of waking her up to my kisses.
I started to smother her face with kisses --- starting from her forehead, to her cheeks, to her chin, to her nose and now, to my favorite part of her face, besides her eyes, her soft, plump and red lips.
I felt her giggling with my actions and soon, my favorite ocean blue eyes stared at my brown eyes. Her eyes flashed me the depth of her love and sincerity for me and I hope that she can see the same in mine.
"What a good way to wake me up, baby.", she greeted teasingly.
"Good morning to you too, sleepyhead.", I shot back.
"What made you wake me up like that?", she asked cluelessly.
She didn't forget, did she?
Instead of answering, I asked her back.
"You don't remember?", I asked disappointedly.
"Not really. Is it your birthday? You know I've been thinking of work a lot lately.", she protested.
"It's okay. It's not important.", I said and slumped back down to my side of the bed and turned my face away from her to hide the tears that is threatening to come out that is blurring my vision.
She put her pointer finger to my chin and turned my face so I could look at her again.
"It is important to you if it's bothering you.", she said, pushing me to say it but no, she should always remember it.
"That's the thing. It is only important to me.", I argued.
"Jade, baba, please tell me what is it so I can make it up to you for forgetting.", Perrie said, trying to soften me up so I can reveal it to her.
"It's just our a-", my sentence was cut short when Perrie's phone ring and she immediately picked it up.
"Good Morning. Y-yeah. Why? That's a problem, yeah. I'm supposed to have a day off today for a reason but I'll be there in an instant."
That's what I heard from their conversation and as far ad I know, she'll be on her way to work again. Great.
"Sorry, baby, I really need to rush.", she explained.
I just gave her a nod and sighed as a response and turned my back again, trying to stiffle the sobs that wants to be heard.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Perrie's POV
I arrived at the office thirty minutes before the spontaneous meeting with the Techride Corporation.
I was greeted by my secretary, Leigh-Anne.
"Good Morning, Miss Edwards. Would you like coffee, tea or anything?", she said her usual greeting to me.
"Thank you but not right now. Will you please just send Jesy to my office?", I asked politely.
Jesy is my best friend, she is also the co-owner of my company. She is actually the one who introduced Jade to me. She has been our matchmaker.
I sat down on my chair and examined some of the papers while waiting for Jesy.
Minutes after, the door burst open and I saw my best friend with a cheerful expression on her face.
She had a bottle of champagne on her right hand. She put it down on my table, along with 2 wine glasses and hugged me as a greeting.
"Happy 6th anniversary to you and Jade, mate. I'm a great matchmaker then, yeah? I should build a business, you know, dating sites or whatever since you two are a goddamn lucky couple because of me.", she greeted.
Shit shit shit.
"Fuck", I muttered but Jesy clearly heard it.
"Why?", Jesy asked, curiously.
"I completely forgot it's our anniversary today. That's why Jade has been feeling down today. I haven't greeted her or anything. I am such a terrible girlfriend.", I moped when I finally realized the reason behind her actions.
"You're in big trouble, Missy. Then why are you here and not making it up to her instead?", she asked tentatively.
"You know I'll meet with the Techride's CEO for a meeting for both of our company's collaboration. I should be there. This is important."
"Much more important than you and your girlfriend's anniversary apparently.", Jesy argued. She has known Jade much longer than I am and they have been the best of friends ever since that's why she is defending Jade's side.
"No, it's not that. I'm doing this for us.", I protested.
"I know that. You know that. Jade knows that but we can't deny the fact that you've not been giving her enough attention. Fuck it, I'll tell you now. Jade and I met like a month ago and she just cried to me. She said that you've been drifting apart. I did not believe her one bit and said that she was just overthinking things because I know that you love her but now, I don't know if I can still believe myself when I defended you."
I was in great shock with what I've heard. I should make her happy but I'm the one who is making her cry. zi couldn't find the right words to say back to Jesy because I know that every word that'll come out ny mouth wouldn't change my wrongdoings.
"I hope you know how Jade feels. Try to fill her shoes with yours and you'll know. I don't want my best friend to be in a relationship like that. I want her to feel special that's why I thought introducing you to her would be great because yiu deserve each other but now, I'm doubting it. Prove me wrong, Edwards, prove me wrong.", Jesy warned.
I just sighed and thought of ways on how to give back to Jade after Jesy left me all alone.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Jade's POV
After that morning, Perrie came home earlier that day.
I hope she figured it all out.
I heard the door click open. I am sitting in the dining table, just like usual on special occassions, I've cooked our favorites.
My chair is on the opposite side of the hallway that is leading to the stairs, thus, my back is facing her.
I was about to turn around but decided to go against the idea. I am still quite pissed at her for forgetting our 6th anniversary.
I felt her walking towards me and she hugged my body from behind.
I couldn't help but smile at her actions. No matter what she does, I'll still love her.
When I turned to face her, I found her holding a boquet of flowers and a small box on the other.
"Happy 6th anniversary, baba. I'm sorry I forgot this morning, I'm such an idiot.", she greeted and I smiled at her.
"You're not an idiot and I love you.", I responded.
"This is for you, gorgeous lady.", she said and handed me the boquet of flowers.
"As well as this.", she spoke again and this time, gave me the box.
"Open it, baby."
I opened it and my eyes went wide and after started to blur with tears.
The necklace is a simple, gold, circular one with J and P ensripted in it.
"J and P. Jade and Perrie. We will keep our love in that necklace. that will bind us together. It'll keep the memory of me in you and in your heart forever. I love you so much, baby.", she said sincerely and I felt myself melting with her words.
"I'm sorry that I've been focusing so much in work that I didn't have enough time for you. I've been so caught up with wotk that I didn't know that you were sad. I love you so much and I wouldn't do the sane mistake again. I'll be the best version of myself from now on Jade. For you. I'll do it for you.", Perrie apologized sincerely.
My heart fluttered with every word that she said and the tears fell out of my eyes once again.
"I love you too so much.", I said and put the boquet down. I put both my hands on her nape and pulled her down for a kiss.
The kiss was slow and passionate. It is bursting of love and sincerity. The sparks flew instantly everywhere.
When we pulled away, both of our eyes are glimmering.
"Do you forgive me?", she said nervously.
I giggled.
"I've already forgiven you before you even said you're sorry.", I confirmed.
She kissed my forehead once again and spoke again.
"With that, I'll be taking my lovely girlfriend to a vacation and I wouldn't mind work in that whole time. I'll start dedicating majority of my time for you. That's what it's meant to be right? I'll be spending my whole life with you, after all.", Perrie said and I couldn't find the words to describe what I'm feeling or to even respond to her.
I love her and I will surely spend the rest of my life with her.
