Lost in Assistance (Elizabeth Olsen x FemReader)

Ch. 16

"They only have one room , with one queen bed." You answered.

"What? No. No. No. We are not going to stay in the same room. Are you not hearing yourself? The room only has one bed. That's not happening." Lizzie instantly refused it and frantically shook her head. She didn't hear any words from you after she gave you a solid refusal, instead she hears clicking and typing sounds from your laptop and mouse and she sees you focusing on the screen.

"Y/n, say something?!" She threw a crumpled napkin at you and yelled in whispers so people won't notice but loud enough to finally get your attention and the crumpled napkin landed on your head. "Ouch! Why did you do that?." You dramatically rub your head as if it hurts you. "Oh come on, don't be so dramatic. It was just a napkin." She is staring daggers at you unamused thinking you didn't take her seriously.

"I just booked it." Her eyes widened as soon as she heard what you just said. "You what-? Seriously y/n?" She lean to the table towards your direction

"I'm sorry, I had to. Otherwise we don't have anywhere to stay." You explained. "But we are not going to sleep on the same bed, that's not happening." Again, Lizzie refused instantly. "Don't worry, we won't. I'll sleep on the couch. Problem solved." You shrugged your shoulders and you heard her exhales while you packed your stuff.

Despite how sometimes Lizzie gives you a cold, moody or sarcastic vibe/tone for some reason you actually feel comfortable around her today. Well, at least it's not as bad as before or not as bad as you thought it would be.

You even think that Lizzie is way less annoying than usual even though sometimes she looks nervous or awkward or maybe upset with you. And this comfortable feeling you feel makes you feel too comfortable that when you get up ready to leave, you spontaneously offer your left hand to her and smile.

"Come on, we need to leave now so we can make it to the meet and greet you will do there." Your eyes search for her emerald eyes only to find that they are already looking up at you slightly in surprise then to your hand in front of her then back to your eyes again. She didn't expect that would happen but weirdly she doesn't mind this time. That moment when her eyes flicked for a few seconds made you realize that you should've not done that.

"Oh, uhm- I'm sorry. I should've not- I was just trying to help. Uh--" You stuttered, your cheeks blushed and you tried to look in another direction away from her and before you were about to pull your hand back in embarrassment, you felt her hand grab yours. Yes, her right hand. The warmth and the softness of her skin, also the grip from her beautiful fingers on your hand, a short and quick brush of the thumb on the back of your hand happened because of the pull, all of them gave you a shiver. She was caught off guard when you offered her your hand. She was hesitant, but she still remembers the feelings when the tip of your finger brushed her skin and deep down she helplessly yearned to feel more of the skin of yours against her again, not just the tip of your finger, but also the rest of your hand and that's why she took your hand.

Just like her, you didn't expect any of this to happen, but it did. You felt your heart skip a beat but continue its beating again as soon as her voice touched your ears. "It's okay. Thank you, this booth is so uncomfortable, it was hard for me to get up from it." She told you her excuse as she finally stood up with your help.

As soon as she got up, both of you pulled your hands away at the same time. Both of you act nervous in front of each other. You both can't look at each other's eyes, not because you hate each other at this moment, it was simply because both of you don't want to be caught in more awkward or nervous feelings. Lizzie's right hand's fingers unconsciously rub the palm and her thumb rubs the tip of the rest of the fingers as if they are hoping they can still feel the presence of your hand that was left after you pulled your hand away from hers.
