You came into the house with an exhausted groan. Work had been hard with the economy hitting an all-time low. This meant everyone was afraid of being laid off by the higher-ups who had been sitting themselves.
You had enough money in your savings account for you two to survive two months. Plus, your girlfriend was working herself, being a freelancer. Still, you had no intention of letting her become the sole income as a part-time worker.
You put down the groceries you had bought out of paranoia and looked around. The house was clean, with the hardwood floor being freshly mopped with a fruity bleach scent hanging in the air. You smiled at this.
Dee, your girl, wasn't the housewife type who cleaned nonstop and acted like a maid. She would throw a pan at you if you demanded she cook for you. The woman was the type to relax in the house and play video games.
So for her to be deep cleaning, she must be in a great mood. You thought of finding her and making a joke about the situation. Thankfully, you decided against it after thinking about her reaction, which would be feisty as hell.
You sat down on your couch and took your things off. As you did this, you noticed that she had also dusted off the coffee table and cleaned up the ring marks on it. This made you quirk a brow; that would've taken hours to do.
You smiled and leaned back as you called out in the house. "Hey! Dee!"
It didn't take long for you to hear her coming down the stairs. You turned to see her and instantly felt your heart start to pound in your chest. Dee was a beautiful woman that you had fallen for instantly about six years ago. She'd been a barista at a Sunbucks that you ate at for lunch during college.
You were too timid to ask her out and thought the brown-skinned girl wouldn't find you attractive. At that time you were nerdy with a nose full of pimples. But to your shock, she had written her number on the back of your receipt.
The two of you talked for a week before having your first date at a bowling alley, and the rest of your relationship was history. She was spunky, with a go-getter attitude, as she shared with him that for years she'd wanted to be a screenwriter.
The skinny brunette had shown you multiple scripts she had written over the years, since she was fourteen in Catholic school. You knew you wanted to help make her dreams come true, so you worked hard. When you got your current job, she quit hers and began doing commission work.
Now, here you are in your mid-twenties living in a two-bedroom home and working towards your goals. Your throat felt dry as you took in the mature body Dee had developed while being with you. She had never been curvy or thick, so instead of gaining massive hips, she had built up muscle.
