Chapter Text
“Hey Maeve, where’s the pasta and those other ingredients I asked you to get?”
Maeve looked up from the TV, where she was curled up happily on the couch. When she realised what her girlfriend had asked her, her vibrant blue eyes widened. She’d completely forgotten about the shopping list Lian had given her. She had said they’d be making homemade spaghetti tonight, together. Since Maeve had been staying over at her girlfriend’s apartment more frequently, sometimes during the day too, Lian had been involving the sometimes thief in some daily chores. Simple tasks, like actually buying stuff so they could eat. Whoops.
“Well?” Lian questioned, leaning against the bench when she noticed the untouched list with perfect handwriting. She immediately narrowed her eyes. “What the hell Maeve, I didn’t even ask you to get much. And I gave you my card to pay for it and everything,” she said with an annoyed expression on her face. The platinum-haired woman snatched up the list and her card, going over to collect her handbag too.
Maeve immediately perked up, sitting up to look at Lian. “What are you doing?” She questioned, already feeling guilty for forgetting such an easy task. “Going to get this stuff myself,” Lian responded. Before she could leave, however, in a second the smaller female leapt up and pulled the piece of paper and the card from her lover’s grasp. “Hey!” Lian exclaimed, mostly in surprise. “Wait what are you doing?”
Maeve was stepping backwards now, eyes locked with Lian’s as she edged closer to the window. The apartment was a few stories up but she clearly wasn’t worried about the landing. She tucked the items she’d stolen from girlfriend’s hands into a pocket in her jacket and kept stepping back until her hands found the latch. “Maeve,” Lian said sternly, staring at her. But she couldn’t really stop her.
“I’m sorry. I’m going to make it up to you! I’ll be quick, I promise,” Maeve uttered before turning and jumping out of the window. Lian let out a sigh and walked to the window in time to see a pink blur rushing around the corner of the street. God, her girlfriend was an idiot. Luckily for her, she was an adorable idiot.
