Come Back To Me, Ok? - Voicemail From Your Girlfriend (Script) [F4A]

[F4A] Come Back To Me, Ok? - Voicemail From Your Girlfriend [GFE] [Voicemail] kind of [Clingy] but [Sweet] [L-Bombs] [I Miss You]

It hasn't even been a day since your partner left for a week long work trip, and you're already missing them. Seeing as you can't wait for your scheduled phone call, you try and reach them earlier, only to have to leave a voicemail.

[whiny] Bay-beeeee~ Baby! Why aren't you answering your phone? I miss my baby. And I know you only left today but I can't help it!

I *also* know we said that we'd call at 9, but I couldn't really wait anymore and I just hoped you'd be able to pick up. You didn't, obviously, so I guess you're still at dinner.

But I'm not going to put the phone down, ok? I'll leave you this message, and then I'll call you again when I'm supposed to! So we can talk even more!

Ooh, maybe you'll get to this before the actual call, then you can get excited to speak to me!

Ok yeah! Then I'm going to try and keep this short. Actually no, I'm *not* going to keep this short! I have too much to tell you and I know I won't remember it all later. Ok? Ok. Yeah.

So...what did you do today? Wait, that won't work. Um, I'll ask you that later. I can tell you what *I've* been doing, though!

I've had a *very* productive day today! I woke up to my early alarm, and then I went right back to sleep! I forgot I had today off as well, so I didn't turn it off.

But sleeping in isn't the same without you. It's warm, but it's not *you* warm. I didn't get to cuddle with you, I didn't get to give you kisses, I didn't get to snuggle your little belly~ [giggle]

I, uh, I hope this doesn't sound too clingy. [laugh] But it's a big adjustment from last week! We were both at home that whole time! And now I have to go an entire week without you. [pouty] Stupid work trip!


Um, anyways, I was telling you about my day! So I slept in and then I- oh hold on.

[like you would talk to a baby]
Oh hello kitty~
No, mommy's busy right now.
Mhmm~ I'm on the phone. I mean, not really.
No, I know, kitty.
What? No!
Ok, now you're being too much of hassle. I'll play with you later.
Go on. Go.


[to listener] See? She misses you too~ She wouldn't leave me alone today. [laugh]

What was I saying again?

Oh yeah, I slept in, and then guess what? I made cookies! But I kept it simple this time. Good old fashioned chocolate chip.

And, uh...I...[nervous chuckle] I kind of...ate half the tray already? [frantic] But they were so good! I couldn't help myself! When you're not here I have no restraint!

[gasp] You know what else I missed? I missed having you in the kitchen with me~ You *know* how fun it is when we get to cook together! And how I get to squeeze your cute lil' butt~

[mischievous] I mean...no no no~ This is a nice wholesome voicemail! No funny business here, no way~


[wistful sigh] I'm...I'm getting distracted thinking about your butt~ [giggle]

But it's not just that! I mean not your *butt*! I'm talking about the, like..."big" things. It's not just the events or whatever. I miss that we're not around each other all the time.

Now I have no one to banter with! I mean...wait no, the cat doesn't count. And if I find a funny video, or a cute cat picture, I can't be like "hey babe look at this". I got used to doing that because we were together basically all the time.

[gasp] Wait. You didn't...you didn't get tired of me did you? [melodramatic] And after all those breakfasts I made you! And all of the fun stuff we did! How could you? [fake sob]

[clears throat] I'm getting distracted again. [giggle]


[like you're thinking to yourself] So...what else happened today?

Oh, after I ate that outrageous amount of cookies, I, uh...I ate...something else.

[shocked realisation] Oh my god is that all I did today? Stuff my face? God, baby, you need to hurry up and come home. Save me from myself, ugh. [laughs]

Before you come save me, maybe I need to finish the rest of those cookies. Take away the temptation, you know?

But enough food talk! I also found a new song today~ I know you'll like it, so I'll send you a link later. You can listen to it and think of me because I thought of *you* when I heard it!

That's pretty sappy, isn't it? [with a sing-song tone] But I don't caaaare~ I miss you, so I'll be all sappy like this. Because I love you. And if you don't start our phone call later by saying it back to me, then we might have some problems!

How long is this message, by the way? Let me check quick.

Ok yikes. Maybe this is going on a bit longer than it should. People don't usually leave long voicemails, do they? *I* probably shouldn't, seeing as I'll be talking to you again soon.

Oh! Speaking of voicemails, get this! I wanted to try and leave you a short message, because I remember listening to something where this guy always left his girlfriend messages under three minutes. I mean, like, always. He would do it for a reason.

Do you wanna know why? [slowly, deliberately] Less than three minutes. Get it? Less than three? Like a heart?

[squeal] I thought that was way too cute! But I'm a bit dumb so I completely forgot about doing that. [laughs] Now you get to listen to me rambling for way too long.

How am I going to end this, though? Umm...I don't know. I guess just...hurry up and come back to me, ok? I miss you, babe.

Yeah, that's good.

Oh wait, we're going to call soon. Whatever! You still need to hurry up and come back to me!


Is that...does that make me sound clingy? You only left today and I'm already asking you to come back home! [laughs] I promise I can do this. It's only a week.

But let me wrap this up. I'll talk to you soon, ok baby?

[sappy and sweet] I loooove youuuu~
