40Prompt: Ruin Valentine's Day for someone in four words then save Valentine's Day for someone in four words. My muse offered a different take on the prompt. Two conversations between Steph and the men in her life. Each conversation is done in 4 word sentences. I'd love to hear what you think!
JPOV
Joe:
I picked up pizza.
Grab me a beer.
There's a game on.
Steph:
Are we staying in?
Joe:
Yeah, I missed you.
The boys missed you.
Is there a problem?
Steph:
Thought we'd go out.
Joe:
Why all the fuss?
What's special about today?
Steph:
It's Valentine's Day, Joe.
A day for love.
Joe:
Okay, let's get naked.
Steph:
Sex isn't love, Joe.
Joe:
Just yanking your chain.
Don't get testy, Cupcake.
It's just a day.
Steph:
Romance would be nice.
Something beyond "Get Naked."
Joe:
I can do romance.
Will you marry me?
Steph:
Are you kidding me?
You're asking me now?
Joe:
It's romantic isn't it?
That's what you wanted.
Steph:
I'm sorry, I can't.
Joe:
Why the hell not?
Thought you loved me.
Steph:
I do love you.
Sometimes love isn't enough.
I want it all.
Joe:
I'm offering it all.
Steph:
No, you are not.
You're offering your version.
I'm not that woman.
Joe:
You must be insane.
I know what's happening.
He doesn't love you.
Not like I do.
Steph:
You're right about that.
He loves me unconditionally.
Joe:
You actually believe that?
You're not that special.
A forgettable pit stop.
He could have anyone.
Why settle for you?
We could have been…..
Steph:
Guess we'll never know.
RPOV
Ranger:
Happy Valentine's Day, Babe.
Steph:
I'm surprised you remembered.
Ranger:
You're hard to forget.
Steph:
Others have said otherwise.
Ranger:
Others are complete idiots.
I thought you knew.
Do you believe them?
Steph:
It's hard not to.
Do you love me?
Ranger:
You know I do.
Why do you ask?
Steph:
Do you really care?
Ranger:
More than you know.
What's the real question?
Steph:
I can't lose hope.
That's all I have.
Will we have "Someday"?
Ranger:
My contract has ended.
My life's my own.
"Someday" is here, Babe.
Will you marry me?
Steph:
Thought you'd never ask.
