The small difference in height that Jane and Nymphia is just perfect for Nymphia to always lay her head on her girlfriend's shoulder to rest it there. It became something habitual for her to do since the beginning of their relationship that Jane also moves as a reflex to embrace Nymphia's head on her shoulder.

The first time it happened was done unconsciously by Nymphia. The exhaustion came with being a technical designer for a luxury brand, yet the girl never complained about it. So here they were, on a saturday night, out with their friends for drinks and chats — athough, Nymphia had to thank Jane for doing most of the chatting right now. She was just there sitting quietly but still listening and laughing when needed, while a warm and comforting hand of her girlfriend was on top of her right thigh, letting Nymphia know that Jane has got her and that she didn't need to do anything.
Amidst the booming music and loud chatters of the crowd, Nymphia still manage to feel sleep creep up on her. Her eyes were near closing and she was falling unconscious fast. Nymphia started to fidget in her seat to find a sturdy thing to lean into and her body seemed to found something — or someone rather — perfect for it. She lays her head on it and moves around to become comfortable.
Jane did not even flinch at the sudden weight in her side and allowed the girl to lean on her shoulder cozily while she wraps her arm to cage her in. All while never stopping the conversation she's having with their friends. The moment their friends decided to get more food and drinks, she focuses on Nymphia and fixes her position beside her — gently tucking her hair back with warm eyes and giving a quick and soft kiss to her temple before anyone could see.

It was the annual company party on Jane's side, celebrating its 15th anniversary. Nymphia looked heavenly in black — contrary to her usual preference in color. Her girlfriend has made a name for herself not only as a known designer but as Jane's girlfriend in her company and yearly, most of her co-workers would anticipate what she'd wear for the annual event. This year, Nymphia decided to wear a dramatic and figure-fitting black dress in lace with feathers adorning the upper part of it, emphasizing her litheness and small waist. She let her long and sikly black hair down, adding more to the dark, mysterious and seductive aura she had made.
Jane, blessed with a seamstress of a girlfriend, is donned in a piece made by Nymphia. She decided to match the black scheme made by her girlfriend but completely going on a different direction. Her girlfriend decided to elevate the usual corporal attire situation by using a shiny leather for her pants and blazer with an exaggerated shoulder. Her inside was a white button down and a black necktie layered with a vibrant red piece on top.
They came to the party with cameras and eyes focused on them. Coming from a well known company, the party was grand to say the least, even having a red carpet and media outlets scattered. The couple stood on the path while posing for the cameras when Nymphia suddenly rests her head in Jane's shoulder — a sweet closed smile on her lips and an arm around Jane's waist. She couldn't help but smile at Nymphia's open display of cute gesture that she couldn't help but to focus on the girl in her arms rather than everyone or anything in the room with them — which ended up with a photo of her looking softly at Nymphia while the girl was looking at the cameras.
Nymphia didn't have to know how she tried to get a copy of that picture in her hands as fast as she can even before the whole event could start.

Nymphia gets more jealous than she shows her girlfriend. She's always been subtle with it not unless she's really bothered. Right now, this girl was starting to get in her nerves. It was all fun earlier when it was just them and their friends, yet when the girl was introduced, she already noticed how she instantly had her eyes on Jane; getting enraptured at first hand — which was understandable, but Jane was hers. She didn't like the sweet girl act, the way she tries to sit closer to Jane nor how she wanted Jane and her attention.
Nymphia has long felt the need to go to the restroom, she just couldn't pull herself to stand knowing that the girl would immediately take her place beside Jane which was already pissing her off even with just the thought of it. However, she'd rather not make a scene and spill here so she musters up the remaining kindness in her to tolerate the girl once she's done with her business and excused herself to the bathroom, but not without giving the girl a side-eye to appease the brewing jealousy in her.
Coming out of the bathroom, she tried to not make herself known and watch the scne in front of her. Seeing how the girl, did in fact, took the place beside Jane. Allowing her to be closer to her girlfriend and touch her more, she sees the desperate attempts in getting Jane's attention that makes her chuckle. Although, she's quite surprised to see Jane standing up, making the girl's wandering hands leave her arms, she sees how her girlfriend looked like she was finding someone in the room, her face immediately smiling when she locks her eyes with Nymphia. Jane walks towards her to bring her back to to their table.
"Sweetheart, are you okay? Do you want to go home?"
"Not at all, Janey. I'm peachy, I just drank too much." They talk in a hushed tone while settling themselves back. This time, Nymphia sees that they both sit in front of the new girl instead of beside her.
"Can y'all maybe stop being handsy with each other? Out of respect? I'm so sick of seeing your love, really." Nymphia looks up at Morphine's commentary which gave them a laugh. She took this opportunity to claim her girl in front of their wannabe friend by sticking out her tongue at Morphine and settling her head on Jane's shoulder while side hugging her. Nymphia makes sure to look at the girl and give her a sly smirk.
"And if you stop being a pussy and actually messaged that guy from last week, maybe you have something going on for you, sister." Nymphia hears the vibration as Jane replies for them, yet she could only focus on how the girl in front of her was now glaring back at her. She snuggles more into Jane to annoy the two people with them. As Jane and Morphine involves themselves in a sisterly quarrel, she gives their wannabe friend a kind smile and mouths a 'bye' as she sees her excuse herself from their table and walk away clearly looking pissed.

It wasn't new for Nymphia to sometimes wake up in her slumber and not feel her girlfriend beside her. Blame adulthood and work. She'd usually let it slide knowing that Jane's nature of job demanded a lot of her time, but Nymphia knew it was happening more than what was even healthy to consider. She slides of their bed, wrapped around in her favorite yellow banana blanket given by Jane and makes her way to their home office. The door was left ajar making the light seep through from the crack. She quietly enters the room to be met with a cute but breaking sight of her girlfriend asleep while sitting in her office chair. Nymphia makes light steps towards Jane's desk and starts to organize the scattered paper and supplies — putting everything where they belong.
She fondly smiles at how adorable her girlfriend is asleep — its not always that she's able to see this sight and savor it because Jane was the morning person between them.Nymphia approaches the girl to gently coax her awake so she can move her in their bed. She gently caresses Jane's hair as she also tucks some strands behind, her hands moving to her face while also leaning into Jane to softly pepper kisses on her cheeks.
"Janey... I think you'd really appreciate being on the bed rather than in your chair once you wake up tomorrow. Come on, baby, let's move there." Nymphia whispers, not wanting to ruin the serenity they have. Jane twitches and moves that Nymphia encourages it more by touching the girl to fully get her awake.
"..Nymph? Five more minutes" Jane grumbles while her eyes are still closed. Which is why Nymphia's breath hitched when she feels warm hands slither in her waist to pull her down and sit on Jane. She accepts the invitation and sat down with Jane immediately planting her head on Nymphia's shoulder, burying her face and settling there to sleep again. Nymphia could only gasp and silently coo at the cuteness — this part of Jane was a privilege not everybody had, that softness and warmness emanating from her that was all for Nymphia to feel and have was something no one would ever experience so long that she's beside Jane.
"Yeah? Five minutes and then we're going to bed? Right, Janey?" Nymphia places a kiss to the side of lips she was able to reach as she hugs the girl tightly.
She feels movement on her shoulder to see that Jane was now also looking at her. "Do you promise cuddles if we move?" She softly says which made Nymphia physically ache — seriously, Jane was being so cute right now and she can only handle so much.
"Of course, Janey. Anything you want."
