You're Worth It.

It was around 6:00, and Liam invited me to his dorm. I agreed, and followed him onto campus. I got out of my car, and he smiled, and said "Home sweet home. Follow me." I followed him up stairs, and into a small apartment. There were 3 guys on the couch in the living room, and Liam pointed to each, saying their names. "Chris, Joseph, and Alastair." I nodded, and waved to them. We walked down a short hallway, and into a messy room. Liam sat on the bed, and said "Yeah, it's a little messy. But whatever." I smiled, and looked around, standing awkwardly. Some things I recognized, but a lot of it was different than the things he had in his room during our teenage years. He patted his hand on his bed, inviting me to sit down. And I did. I was still looking around, when he said "WOW! You still have that necklace?" I looked at him confused, then looked down, and realized what he was talking about.

"Open yours first, babe." "Nope, I’m not opening mine until you open yours."
"Grr, okay." He handed me the little box wrapped in gold wrapping paper, and a small gold bow placed on top.
I gently took the paper off, to reveal a white box, and I opened it, finding another box. Black, and velvet.
I opened it, and saw a beautiful necklace, two hearts wrapped around each other. I smiled, putting it on, and saying "Thank you baby." and giving him a hug, and a kiss.
And watched him open his Valentine's day present.
Later on that day, he had said "Well, I'm the big heart, and your the little one, okay? cuz I want the one with diamonds."

He reached toward me, gently grabbing the necklace, and saying "Wow, I can't believe it. Why do you still have it?" I fiddled with my hands, then said "I don't know, I like it. It grew on me." He smiled, and said "Oh, well I still have a few things you gave me." I smiled, and he got up, going through a drawer in his dresser, and pulling out a flash drive with a plastic penguin on it. Just like it used to be, and a picture I drew him. He laughed a bit, and said "I just couldn't throw it away." I nodded, and said "Yeah, memories."
