Yaz was in their bedroom packing suitcases for tomorrow's trip when she heard the doorbell ring and then Clara's voice talking to someone. But the bedroom window faced the garden so she had no idea what was going on and continued to pack the bags. She was arranging Clara's clothes and thought how she was looking forward to seeing her dressed in them again. She was always in boots and cut-off trousers around the house and looked adorable, but when she was all dressed up she looked amazing and extremely attractive.
Yesterday she also mentioned how she was taking her on a romantic date because it will be exactly one month since they were together.
But to Yaz, it didn't seem like a month, more like years or decades. They were as comfortable with each other as if they had already lived a life time together.
Clara also told her this morning that she had reserved a table for Tuesday night. It was at a wonderful Pakistani restaurant, one of her parents' favorites. Her mom was beside herself and said she bought herself a new dress and how she was making her dad wear a tie which made Yaz laugh because she knew her girlfriend would also come in a suit with braces and a tie but her parents didn't know that and she was dying to see their faces.

"Yaz" she heard Clara shouting running up the stairs

"What? What's going on?" Yaz turned around worried

Clara scrunched up her face confused "Nothing...why would anything be wrong?....But I do have something to show you" she flashed a smile and grabbed Yaz's hand literally dragging her out of the room "Come on" 

"What's going on? Why are you pulling me like that?"

"All in good time Yasmin Khan...all in good time" she said and then stopped infont of the door covering her eyes with her palm "Don't look...no peaking"

"Clara you silly woman....what are you doing?" Yaz giggled as she was leading her outside

She moved her hand with a massive grin on her face "You like it?"

There was a red MINI Cooper parked up in front of the house. And Yaz frowned utterly confused?

"You bought a car?"

"Aha" she nods grinning

"But you have a car?"

"Do you like it?" Clara asked circling the car

"I love it"

"Good then...because it's yours Yasmin" she threw keys to her and Yaz caught them completely confused

"You're joking right?"

"I would never Yaz"

"You got me a car? This car...for me?"

"I couldn't let you drive that death trap Yaz...You'd have me regenerate from worrying...and I got a good deal...Had to bargain a bit it was way overpriced...."

Yaz ran around the car and threw herself on her wrapping her legs around her

"Inside...inside...Blimey Yaz it's just a car" Clara laughed over her outburst of affection and put her back on a ground kissing her forehead

"I love you so fucking much...and you're crazy you know that"

"Wanna test it?" she grins

"Can I?"

"Of course you can it's yours"

It was evening and Yaz was finishing dinner eagerly waiting Clara to come back from university. She told Yaz that she might be late because they have a meeting she has to attend. As of this weekend, her vacation is over as well and they will both have to get used to a new routine. Yaz had a busy week ahead of her and every day after work she would have to go to her parents to pack. Technically she could have done it already when she was free, which would probably have been the smarter option, but this was the week she promised Clara she'd have her all to herself.
Her heart jumped when she heard the car pulling up and she ran to the door.

"Hey lovely" Clara said walking out of the car

Yaz was already at the driveway. Clara draped her arm around her shoulder kissing her temple

"Hi love...I missed you" Yaz said squeezing her around the waist "Hungry?"

"Missed you too...Starving...It's so nice to come from work and have you here Yaz. I was alone for far too long"

"You and me both babe...eat now then take a shower...I know you want to"

"Might do Yaz...just might do" she walked into the kitchen and shoved her face into the pot to see what's in it "Mmmmm...That looks lovely"

"Nannies recipe" she said proudly

"Wanna hear the news?"

"Shoot" she said taking the plates out

"Landlord accepted my offer for the house"

"OMG...you're making me soppy now" she came up and hugged her laying her head on her chest

"Yap...so it won't be long now Yaz" she kissed her head

They took the plates and moved into the living room

"You know that spare room next to the bedroom"

"Mmm?"

"Could you find some nice wardrobes...something...anything really ...we will need extra space now when you move in. It can be like walk in closet...I wish I could just add and remove rooms...I really miss that"

Yaz laughed as her silly comments that now just became a part of her personality "Alright babe...Don't you want us to do it together?"

"Neah...I trust you...besides it will make you feel more like it's your home Yaz"

"That's really sweet you know...And you are right it will...I never had to buy furniture before....Babe"

"What?"

"I hate to bring this up but we need to talk about money"

"Money Yaz?" she looked at her confused

"Yes money babe...I will be living here with you"

"I don't understand Yaz. What's that to do with money?"

"A lot...like I can't just live here and not pay for things...you know bills...things like that"

"I've got money Yaz I don't need yours" she looked up scrunching her face

"I know you do but I want to give it...you know willingly"

"Don't be silly Yaz...I would never take your money...I hate money anyway...It's just a bunch of paper and metal...I never understood the obsession"

She looked up and relased Yaz was just sitting looking back at her in silence "Yaz why are you not eating?"

"Clara I" Yaz sighed. She was worried where this conversation was going "look this is really nice...in fact it wonderful of you. But you know I worked all my life and I'm proud of it. I know I don't earn as much as you do...but I want to feel like I'm...you know...participating...It means a lot to me. I would never expect from you to support me"

"I know that Yaz" she got up and reached for her hand and hugged her around the waist

"Alright...I'll tell you what...I don't want you feeling like this so I'll take it"

"You will?"

"Shhhh...I will...but only under one condition"

"Listening"

"...and that is that I keep that money for anything that we need for this house. What ever...duvet, pillow, fork, spoon, rubber duck" she scrunched her face "Mmm I always wanted a rubber duck. See you can buy that"

"Deal" she smiled "Thank you" she said kissing her

"I still think is silly...Tardis can make plenty. Can you please eat now"

"Yes"

Yaz smiled and continued eating her dinner every so often glancing at Clara and smiling. It was a tense conversation and at one point she seriously thought it will escalate into an argument but she was happy they resolved it.

"Happy now?"

"Yes...very happy"

"Good....Because I would hate if you wouldn't be Yaz"

"Love ya" Yaz said beaming

Clara still found the whole thing unnecessary and way to complicated but she just shook her head smiling "I love you too"

In the end of a day she wanted Yaz to be happy. But in her mind her value wasn't in money she was making. It was in who she was as a person.
