“Honey, can you pass me the blue candle, right there?” she says sweetly, pointing at Morella's left.
“Blue c- Oh! Yes, here.” The ginger gave it with one hand while still using the other to stir the food in the pan.
Ada mumbled a quick “thank you” before lighting it up and positioning it on the table.
—----------------------------------------------------------
A good ten minutes went by and the supper was finally ready to be served. One of them was reading a magazine about the latest fashion trends for young ladies on the small couch, while the other was turning off the stove.
“All done!” Morella said loudly, she was already putting the food on the plates. She'd hate for it to become cold so she would rather not lose any time.
“Thank goodness, I'm starvin’!” The brunette walked fast, eager to, at last, sit down and eat whatever it is that smelled so good.
They both took place at their medium sized dinner table. Without waiting a second more, Ada took a mouthful of the delicacy her beloved had prepared.
“Oh Morella, this is divine!” She said, pleased with her meal and almost inhaling the food.
A slight crimson blush crept up the ginger’s cheeks before clearing her throat and replying, “I'm glad you like it, though, please eat slowly I wouldn't want you to choke.” she giggled out.
“That's a lie.” Ada answered bluntly after swallowing half a carrot.
The other girl stopped laughing, taken aback by the comment and her previous blush making its comeback. “W-what?”
The brunette smirked and answered “I'm just teasin’ you, sugar. Now, eat quickly! Don't you hate cold food?” she raised one of her brows.
Morella taking time to recompose herself, took the fork and knife then stabbed a piece of steak, holding it in place while cutting a small bit. “Uh..Yes,I despise that.” There was silence but a comfortable one for a few seconds.
“I'm taking this occasion to suggest we go to the Nevermore Carnival later this week.” She said with glee, flashing a genuine smile to her girlfriend. “I've wanted to go for a long time but I didn't know if you wa-” Morella was cut off rapidly before she could ramble some more.
“Of course I'd go with you! Don't be silly.” Ada said kindly and put her hand over Morella's. Despite trying to hide it, the brunette was turning slightly pink over realizing what she was doing. They had been together for eight months already but the warm feeling never got old. The redhead nodded and looked back at her fondly, appreciating the gesture. “It is settled then. We'll be going to the Nevermore Carnival!” Due to her excitement, she knocked her glass of water on the ground with her elbow.
They both looked at each other before bursting out laughing for at least the third time this evening. Morella always was living her emotions to the fullest and that's something Ada learned to adore. The mess got cleaned, then the two lovers continued to enjoy their at-home-date and touched every subject that came to mind.
—--------------------------------------------------------
The dark colors of night coming to drape the sky came faster than they could anticipate. It was decided that the Lovelace would clean the dishes while the other prepared their bed.
“Are you coming?” Morella peaked from their room at her girlfriend still in the kitchen.
“I-Yes give me a minute, honey.” placing the last plate on the dish drying rack, she closed the lights and went to brush her teeth aswell. They both were already in pajamas.
Morella, feeling the presence of Ada behind her, was already getting sleepy.
“Can i?” The brunette waited for any sign of approval and when she was met with a “Yes.”
She entered the sheets and embraced her beloved's form from the back, nuzzling her head in the crook of her neck. Since her previous experience with Prospero, she learned to respect boundaries more and asks for permission often before acting.
Sleep took over the couple. Warmed up against each other on this chilly night of February. Glad to be making more time together in the morning to come and hopefully, for every morning after that.
