So, I once got this list of how boyfriends are supposed to show their girlfriends they love them. And yeah…I made it into a series of ficlets. They don't relate unless otherwise stated.
Pink Roses
# 25: Buy her stuff. Even small things count.
"Rose?" Mack called as he entered the apartment he shared with his girlfriend. "Rose?"
"Bedroom! Sheesh, Mack, the apartment isn't that big. If I'm not in the living room or kitchen where else could I possibly be?"
Mack put on a hurt face as he joined her in their room. "Is that really any way to talk to someone who you supposedly love? Especially when that someone bought you a present?"
Rose smiled. "Guess not. So, a present, huh? What kind of present?" she asked as she moved closer to him and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Mack chuckled lightly and stuck his tongue out at her. "I'm not going to give it to you now, Rosie. I'll find someone who appreciates me." He smiled, bending to plant a kiss atop her head. "Just kidding." He handed her a small plastic bag bearing the name of a store down town.
Rose inserted a hand into the bag and came out with a toy model of the pink Overdrive ranger. She laughed at the plastic figure. "That's really sweet, Mack. A little…odd, but sweet."
"Aw come on. We'll display them out on the coffee table. I thought they were cute."
"They?"
"Look inside," Mack replied, watching with a smile as Rose reached inside again and came out with the red Overdrive ranger as well. Rose raised an eyebrow. "Well, she couldn't be lonely!"
"No, she couldn't," Rose agreed before pressing her lips to his.
