Spagetti dinner (closed)
Sarah gave a light smile and blushed when techie grabbed the chair for her. “You’re such a gentleman, sweetie pie!” But as they started on their dinner Sarah suddenly got scared, what if something bad happens again? What if someone tries to hurt her boyfriend? She felt tears start to form in her eyes. “Techie…please, please don’t leave me! Stay here, stay with me!” She pleaded through her crying “I don’t want you to get hurt, not again. Please stay! Don’t leave me!”
Taken aback by the sudden shift in the mood, he took her hands from across the table and gave them a gentle squeeze, shifting the tablecloth (and anything on it) towards Sarah. “I’m not g-going anywhere, Sarah,” Techie promised, solemn. Nothing would tear them apart again. “MaMa’s gone. I’m scared all the time but I’m trying to r-realize that I don’t have to be.”
She kisses his large hands. “I love you techie, I love you so much!” She wiped the tears against her arm and sighed. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to freak out suddenly. I ruined our dinner”
“No, you didn’t,” he reassures her, picking up and kissing the back of her hand. “Maybe this is a good t-time to air out any worries we have.” Techie smiles comfortingly at Sarah, feeling more at peace than he has in quite some time.
She smiled at him. “I’m just scared someone will take you Away from me, I wish I could protect you from everything. You don’t deserve what happened to you. You’re too kind, you’re so good, techie.” She kissed his forehead, where his tattoo is. “I love you, so much”
He leans into her kiss, soft and relaxed. “I love you too, S-Sarah.” Techie cups her cheek and then gives her a gentle but playful pinch.
An emotion flickers quick past his face, too sudden to be analyzed. Hesitantly, he asks, “Did you ever th-think I looked scary? With my tattoos and stuff?” Techie’s almost afraid to hear her answer.
