I'm With You. ~ Elizabeth Olsen

Surprises.

Y/N POV
I watch as Lizzie gets dressed in some simple jeans and a t shirt while I lay on our bed. She thinks I'm still asleep and is trying to sneak out apparently.

"What are you doing?" I ask and she jumps, clutches her chest, and turns to face me.

"Don't fucking do that, oh my god." She sighs and rubs at her eyebrow. I haven't seen her do that in a while.

"What's bothering you?" I ask and she looks at me lounging in our sheets naked. I watch her eyes drop to my exposed torso before they snap back up to my eyes. I quirk an eyebrow at her and she sighs.

"I wanted to surprise you with something." She explains so I playfully tug the sheets up over my head and snuggle into the pillows.

"I'm asleep." I say from my spot and she giggles. I feel the bed shift and peek out from my hiding spot.

"I won't be gone long, I'll probably be back by this afternoon." She informs me then kisses me softly.

I hum in appreciation, "I love your kisses." I whisper when she pulls away. She smirks and gets out of bed once again to make her way out. "Have fun, stay safe!" I call after her.

"Promise!" She shouts back and shuts the front door. I smile, perfect. I throw the sheets back and get in some sweat shorts and a tank top to get ready for my own surprise. I've been working on a rooftop garden for Lizzie. We already sort of had one but I want to make it as big and beautiful las her one in LA. I ordered a bunch of veggies, fruits, and other plants to a plant store nearby and they should be ready for me today. Lizzie has perfect timing. I grab my phone, wallet and keys and give Smush some pets before I leave. When I turn the corner I spot Matt, "Hi Matt!" I greet him and he smiles.

"Hey Y/N, how are you?"

"Oh I'm great, did you see Lizzie pass by here?" I ask wanting to know more about this surprise Lizzie has.

"Nope, haven't seen her." He replies and shrugs. Hm, okay.

"Alright, well I'll see you later!" I smile when he lifts his camera and continue on my way. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm so thankful Matt is so nice and we have our little ritual so I know I'm safe near my home. I walk a couple blocks to the store and thankfully my stuff is ready. I had some raised beds for the soil shipped and I lugged them up to to roof already. Lizzie has had to do random interviews here and there so I've slowly started to put everything together. It's been one hell of a project since there has to be like a drainage layer and geotextiles. I don't what what the fuck they do but we have them all set up!

I already have tons of soil and I set up a whole watering system that will automatically run on a timer if we wanted it to. Rain will be good but on dryer days we can use the system I made. I extended the covered part of the roof a little with a wooden structure that we can sit under or move plants under if they are getting too much sun. I help the worker load up my plants into a wagon they are letting me borrow. I'll probably have to take a couple trips with all the shit I got. But I want it to be the best rooftop garden for Lizzie. She deserves it.

After the couple trips to the apartment and getting everything up there I tip the workers at the store and head home. It's the afternoon now so Lizzie might be getting back soon. I need to get these plants in the soil ASAP. I get up to the roof and start to organize where I want each plant before I put them into the raised beds. I got a bunch of gardening tools too since I did a lot of research on this sort of thing. I just want it to be functional and pretty.

By the time I'm halfway through planting some veggie plants and still have some herbs and other plants I hear the door swing open. I scramble to stand up and wipe at my forehead. "What the...?" Lizzie looks around at the remodeled rooftop and I stand awkwardly. Fuck, I wanted it to be all done before she saw it! Her eyes return to me and she gives me a confused look. "What are you doing?" She asks quietly and slowly makes her way towards me, her eyes scanning the already planted stuff. She skims her hand over the side of a raised bed and I swallow.
