Your Needy Girlfriend II (Audio Script)

Stories

As fun as that was, I am so glad to be home.

And even gladder… is that even a word? I don’t even know, I’m so tired I can’t even think.

Anyway, I’m even happier to be in bed with you.

Yeah no, it was good. It was so amazing to see everyone.

I had the best time in the last trivia round against Liz. It was all about 2000s pop and you know I absolutely dominated.

It’s been so long since we’ve all been out together.

I feel so warm and fuzzy.

No, it’s not the drinks talking.

I spent my beer budget on cheese sticks and don’t regret a single thing, thank you very much.

Oh yeah, Stef was there.

That was… really weird.

She wasn’t quite herself to start with.

Drinks were super awkward until the rest of them got there.

I just didn’t know what to say.

I don’t know… it seems like the breakup with Thomas just hit her a lot harder than I’d realized…

And honestly, it all sounds a little bit messy.

As much as I want to say it was all him… I don’t know that it was.

A lot of it was her doing, too.

They just weren’t good together, really, but I couldn’t really just pretend like she was the victim in it all, you know?

Anyways. Yeah, I talked to her, I was nice.

Well, listened more than talked really.

That seemed to be what she needed.

By the end of the night the whole vibe had relaxed, and we were all enjoying the time together.

To be honest though… hearing what she’s been going through made me sad but, really…

I just felt grateful.

It sucks to see your childhood friend going through it, especially when the whole happily ever after thing is something we used to dream about together as kids.

But it’s made me all the more grateful to know I’m coming home to you.

You know it’s not always been like this for me.

And I’m just so glad it is now.

What do you mean?

Do you really want to know why I’m so grateful for you?

How happy you make me?

Well… you communicate. That’s the first big, giant green flag.

You make me feel heard, and supported.

You’re strong, smart and supportive.

And even when we’re just you know… doing our life together… I never feel like I’m having to deal with anything alone.

Listening to her talk about that in particular was hard.

I never realized someone could feel so lonely in a relationship.

Well… I guess I did. I mean… I’ve been there before.

I’m just so thankful to not be able to remember what that’s like, I guess.

Of course, baby.

I’ll tell you how grateful I am for you any time.

I appreciate you so much.

And seeing your magnificence up close is—

Why thank you, kind sir.

Yes, you are indeed magnificent.

Seeing your magnificence in contrast to my friends’ partners…

I just don’t ever want to take the little things, or the big ones, for granted.

This, right here, is a perfect example.

You’re still up when I get home, even though you know you don’t have to be.

See!

That’s it exactly.

You want to make sure I’m safe.

Not every guy would wait up just in case I needed to be picked up.

This is why I’m just so lucky to be with you.

It’s the big and little things, really.

And all the ones in between.

You pay attention because it matters to you, and that makes me feel very loved.

Plus… getting to come home and cuddle up to you in nothing but… this… it’s also a big plus.

Mmm, you’re so warm.

God, I love this bed, too.

This is like the best mattress ever, oh my god.

Okay, maybe I have had a few too many.

Yeah, it’s still pretty chilly out.

Means I can just… get in here and snuggle up to you… and put my cold feet…

underneath your warm legs.

Mmmm so much better! So warm…

What?

You don’t like my freezing cold toes on you?

Okay, okay, okay!

I’ll stop.

Don’t pull away.

Come here… I need you.

I need you close.

Really though.

You do so much, babe.

And you add so much to my life, just by being you, by being here, by being mine.

I’m so lucky.

So, how was your night while I was away?

What did you do?

Oh.

So it wasn’t all reading in bed, looking so cozy and inviting then?

Ah, that makes sense.

That was incredibly sweet of you to help him out.

Especially since it took twice as long as you hoped.

I bet that really ate into your alone time, hm?

Gives me more things to brag about when the girls ask though.

Oh, I’m so relaxed.

And you’re so warm and this spot on your chest is just so comfy…

the perfect place to end the day.

No, not just today.

Any day.

Every day.

Being cosied up in our utterly amazing bed, with the utterly amazing you.

Oh, yes.

The word “magnificent” does come to mind.

Do you feel appreciated?

Like… do I do enough, even when I’m not tipsy and clingy… to make you feel loved?

I just want to… I don’t know, I just want to make sure…

Okay, good.

Yes I do, I feel appreciated too.

But right now, we’re talking about you.

And I just always want you to know that you are, without doubt, appreciated.

Mmm, I do appreciate you.

And I’m grateful for you.

And I think you’re really handsome, and sweet, and you have such a big—

Okay, okay.

I’ll stop.

I kinda like that it’s making you blush, though.

Mmm, I want to be closer.

Is this close enough?

Now that I’m right here, close enough to whisper all the ways I appreciate you… make you blush even more…

Right into your ear?

I know that gives you goosebumps…

Well, I mean.

I didn’t mean to… but it’s really fun to watch.

And if that’s what it takes to wear you down… so you’ll learn to embrace my appreciation… then so be it.

That’s just what I’ll have to do.

Oh, don’t think I didn’t notice that other thing that’s happening, too… as I get closer to you.

Just how handsome you are… how much I love you… and your body…
