How to Fall... Without Trying To (GirlxGIRL)

Queen

I wake up on a Saturday morning to the sound of music and Anissa singing in the other room. I honestly cannot think of a better way to wake up than Anissa's singing.

"Seh we can have just one night, or we can have one whole life/if we play it cool, yea/we can have that one thing, or we can have everything if our hearts are true/girl, slow down/girl, let me love you" The song, Slow Down by H.E.R. and Skip Marley plays in the living room

I lay and listen to Anissa, honestly wondering what she's doing in the other room but too lazy to get up to check. After the song ends and another one plays, I get up to see her cleaning in the living room and swaying to the music

"It's never too late, to be who you wanna be/Just say what you want to say, and it's never too late to leave if you wanna leave/Let us stay if you wanna stay" Lana Del Rey begins singing her song Summer Bummer feat. A$AP Rocky and Play Boi Carti

I stand and watch her quietly for a bit before she notices me and stops what she's doing

"Oh hey, good morning" she smiles, walking over to me and placing a kiss on my lips, "How'd you sleep, darling?"

"Well" I shrug, "I didn't want to wake up, but I was curious about your concert in here so I had to"

"Oh, I was cleaning and got carried away"

"I see, but it was cute. Why'd you stop?"

"I don't know, I guess I just get shy about that kind of stuff" she shrugs

"We live together, I've seen you naked multiple times, and you still are shy about singing in front of me" I laugh, "I find it cute, but eventually I'm going to hear you sing"

She shakes her head, starting to hum and nod her head to the music that's still playing. I will never understand why she refuses to allow me to hear her sing, but it's okay. What I hear when she's singing off-guard is enough for me honestly. I think it's the best sound on Earth, but she refuses to hear it from me.

"What do you want to do today?" I ask her, going into the kitchen and warming up a bagel

"I don't know, but can you warm me a bagel too?!"

"Sure, babe" I put another bagel in to be warmed, turning around to grab the bagel spread in the fridge. I turn around to see Anissa on one knee with her hands clasping something, "Uh babe? What are you doing?"

"Cleaning inside the tiles" She looks up at me with a smile, revealing a balled up towel in her hands "I told you I'm trying to get some cleaning done today"

"Okay" I say, slightly relieved but not really...  Honestly, if she were to ask me to marry her? What would I say? Would I say yes? Would I be stunned? Would I say no and need more time? If I were to say no, will it break her heart? I guess I have time to think of these questions and what the answers would be, since she's just cleaning the tiles...

"I think we should go to the movies, I want to get out of the house and go on a date" Anissa dumps her towel in a bucket that I didn't realize she had next to her because it was hidden by the floor counters, "If that is okay with you?"

"Absolutely" I smile, grabbing the warm bagels and putting the spread on them, "I will get dressed after I eat"

"Okay, I'm going to finish this quickly so I can do the same"

"Okay"

After the movies we go into a few stores to look at clothing. I drag her through American Eagle, Fenty, and somehow, we end up in Kay, the jewelry store. I look around at some of the rings and necklaces, not really looking to buy one since I honestly am not that into wearing jewelry. I wear bracelets and the occasional necklace, but nothing pricey like this. I awe at some of the pieces while Anissa talks to one of the associates
