DRIVING your boyfriend’s car and leaving your own little feminine touches makes your love even stronger, explains girlfriend Nikki Hollis.
Moving the seat and mirrors will make him think of me
On the rare occasions when I’m not in Steve’s thoughts, him trying to squeeze into the car because I’ve moved the seat up, the steering wheel down and the mirrors in will remind him of me and how petite and cute I am. It will feel like I’m giving him a hug. And the knobbly seat massager I’ll put in will ease the pain from his knees being squashed and any tension he feels before he starts work.
I’ll leave a nice surprise for when he starts the car
What could be more romantic than to start the car and hear our favourite Coldplay song blast out? His Spotify account normally syncs automatically, but I’ll change the settings for it to play my cuddle playlist. He’ll love that and it’ll take his mind off the annoying little orange light beeping about petrol, or whatever.
I’ll give him the dog we’ve always wanted
We’re so much in love we’ve discussed getting a dog when we’re married, so imagine his joy when he climbs in the car and sees a cute doggy on the back shelf nodding at him. And on the other side, for balance, a cutesy teddy bear hugging a heart, saying ‘You drive me crazy with love’. How adorable am I? I think he might shed a tear.
I’ll make sure he doesn’t get hungry
Adding me as a named driver to reduce the cost of his policy is a commitment to our relationship I’ll gladly reciprocate by making sure he never goes hungry while driving. Scattering mints and Cadbury Heroes around his car will remind him I’m thinking about his health and wellbeing. I’ll also leave a bottle of water loose in the passenger footwell for him to drink and a surprise Love Heart sweet placed in his cup holder. We are the best couple.
It’ll help me look my best for him
Once I’ve finished using his car I’ll freshen up and look nice by giving my hair a good brush. Steve is so much better at spotting hair around his flat and in his shower plug than me, so I’ll leave any loose hair in his car for him to find with his sharp eyes. Also doing my makeup might get a bit messy, so I’ll write a little ‘sorry’ message in powder on the dashboard, or in lipstick on the rear view mirror. That will definitely raise a smile.
My fragrance will remind him of me
They say smell is the greatest sense for triggering memories. That’s why I’ll wait until I’m in his car to put on perfume. I’ll also leave a scented scarf around his headrest and my jogging hoody draped over the passenger seat. And if that’s not enough then I’ll put cute little Ambi Pur air fresheners in the vents, the same scent as the one he always notices in my flat. It’ll be like I’m always there, and he’ll love me so much more – if that’s possible!
