- your nyc penthouse, three days from 'kiss me thru the phone'.

- 10.22

You sigh, picking up your bowl and taking a spoon full of cereal into your mouth. You had just gotten off a long and incredibly stressful phone call with your manager. 

"Listen, if you wanna stay in the acting community, you're gonna need to be balance. You can't handle a job that you need to be present all the time."

"I know, I know, Mason. How long do I have to think about this?" You ask, rubbing your temples as you lean on your kitchen counter.

"Less then a week, y/n." Mason tells you, kicking his feet up on his desk on the other side of the phone. 

"Right.. Give me all that time and call me when I need to make a decision. I'm on babysitting duty today." You tell him, pressing the button of which would end the call with a hum.

You had known a career wasn't gonna work out either way, so you had ended up deciding. You weren't gonna use your major for something good, but just graduate.. if you could that is.

Yet as of now, that was the least of your concerns. You were expecting Reiner to drop off Gabi so you could watch her for the day while he was out, since something had happened in the family that he needed to take care of, and he needed to give her a break from all the buzz.

And so, you were just trying to relax all morning. Until the buzzer rang in the front of your place.

You walk over to the door, and press the button.

"Ms. L/n? There's a package your way!" The receptionist says, and you smile, "Thank you, May." You say, removing your finger from the button and undoing the regular lock and the chain one, swinging it open to see.. nobody. 

But sure enough, there was a package on the ground. Two, actually.

You bend forward, picking up the bottom one as the other was stacked neatly on top. There was an envelope attached to it.

The boxes were wrapped in matte black wrapping paper, and tied with a bow. It made you smile. But you couldn't get into the gifts just yet.

With a small hum, you sit down on your couch and set the gifts on your lap, ripping open the envelope to find a card. It had a note written messily, and a tiny drawing. 

Y/n,

heres this. and don't you dare ship it back,
i know how you are. I picked out what I know
you'd like best. Don't consider this an early graduation
gift, by the way.. this is just me treating you because i love you.

- jean  ☺

You chuckle softly, putting the card to the side and then going to open up the packaging, starting by ripping off the wrapping paper.

Before your eyes were three classic white Chanel boxes, straight from Paris, and your eyes widen. You normally bought yourself stuff this expensive, but, oh my god.

Pulling off the top of the smallest box, you place your hand over your mouth. In all of it's glory, it was revealed. A coco mademoiselle perfume. A thousand dollar one that you had yet to get your hands on until now.

You gawked, putting that to the side and moving to the next box which held Plume de Chanel earrings and necklace both.. and two fifty dollar bills taped to the underside of the top.

You pick up your phone off the table, and immediately dial Jean, who hadn't gone broke believe it or not.

It had hardly rang before he picked up, and you could practically hear his smirk on the other side of the phone.

"Do you like like it or like it?" He asks in between laughs and you did too.

"Oh my god, I.. like like it. A lot," You smile, putting him on speaker.

"I'm glad." He speaks, and you lean your head on the back of your couch.

"Thank you, Jean, dear god." 

He chuckles at you, running a hand through his messy hair.

"Of course, princess. Whatcha doin' now?" Jean asks you another question, leaning back in his seat. You knew he was sitting in his new home with his two dogs beside him. A luxurious mansion in Northern California. Nowhere near LA where he had previously been living.

"I mean, nothing. I'm gonna go change.. Reiner's most likely gonna be here with Gabi any minute now." You tell him, picking up your gifts and setting them on the kitchen counter before making your way to your bedroom.

"Mmm, are you guys having one of your girls days?" He says, listening closely as you walk into your closet. You laugh a little bit.

"Pretty much." 

He nods, his lips curving into a smile. He loved just hearing you talk, it often lulled him to sleep if you were ever face timing or calling late at night, and slowly drifting in and out of your nightly unconsciousness.

"Oh fun." He says, fixing his attention back on his tv for a few seconds as you changed, very obviously wishing he was there to see you in person.

"I'm still upset you never Facetime me when you changee,"

You laugh at him, and he laughs at you. It was something dangerously contagious. 

You snort, messing with the belt of your army green high-waisted mom jeans, and then fixing the thin straps of your white top.

You pick up your phone which you had set on a shelf next to a couple pairs of shoes.

Then, the doorbell rings causing you to jump, and the two of you both break into another fit of laughter. Reiner.

"Alrighty babe, I'm gonna go say hey to them. Love you, talk later." You smile softly, grabbing a pair of heels to match your top from the floor. You had disregarded them some time ago.

"Sounds good. Love you too. Muah!" You giggle, and then the two of you hang up, leaving you to go open the door for Reiner and Gabi with your heels in hand.

You unlock the door again, and sure enough stood the two people who you'd been expecting.

"Hey!" You exclaim, quickly giving Reiner a side hug and he smiles at you, returning the action. You also give Gabi a quick hug, and she laughs, hugging you back as well.

-

"That's it?" You ask the man, raising your eyebrows.

"Yeah, I mean. Do whatever." He tells you, and you hug him one last time before he has to go back home. 

"Great." You say, high-fiving him before making your way to where the girl was in your living room, watching what was on the tv for the time being.

"Alrighty, Gabi. I'll see ya later, kay?" He tells his little cousin, and she looks up at him from the sofa. "Well?"

"Cya, Reiner," She smiles, and he does too, ruffling her hair and bidding the two of you goodbye before finally being pushed out by the two of you, which he laughed about.

"Now, Ms. Braun." You drop down onto the couch next to her, and she looks at you with her bright eyes and a determined look. 

"Would you like to know today's agenda?" You ask, and she purses her lips.

"Sure thing," Gabi responds eagerly, leaning in.

"Alright, so first I have a nail appointment at a place completely out of the city. And I was gonna ask if you wanted to get one too. It's like.. a pedicure and stuff. Then we could like, go get something to eat, maybe go shopping.." You explain to her. "We can do anything you want. And i'll get you anything you want.. Just don't tell Reiner or your mother."

"That sounds amazing. Can we?" She says.

"Of course! I'm happy to be spending time with one of my favorite people," 

"I'm honored, really," She says, and you both laugh, smiles spreading across your faces.

"Then are we ready to go?" You begin, in between giggles.

"I'm always ready!"
