She's Mine

Chapter 10: A New Roommate

Uhhh what just happened. Is Lizzie really going to stay with me now?! What do I even do now? She's just staring into my soul with those bright eyes and it's giving me butterflies. I decide to step back and her small smile fades. Ugh, I should have just kissed her. But that would have just made it weird again. But it could have been amazing too. I'm definitely overthinking all of this. I wonder what she's thinking right now.

"Y/n?" She says and snaps me out of my thoughts.

"Oh yeah?" I reply.

"Are you able to drive me to the motel to grab my stuff?" Oh my god, she's actually going to stay with me!

"Yes, of course, I can. Do you want to go now?"

"That would be best. I have the day off again but I rather do it now and relax later ya know?"

"Good thinking. Let's go then." I motion for her to follow and I grab my keys off the shelf at the door where they always are. We walk to the car and I open the door for her which makes her giggle. I run around the front of the car to get in myself and start it up. I put my foot on the gas and off we go to the motel. I haven't been there in so long but I remember how broken it was. I can't believe anyone would make Lizzie stay in that place.

"Y/n before we do this we need to have a couple of rules for both of our sake ok?" I nod my head in agreement and listen closely to what she has to say while keeping my eyes on the road. "Ok rule number one is you can't tell anyone that I'm staying with you just for safety reasons. Not even your family or friends can know please." That's easy enough I think. "Rule number two is that if we go out together we need to make sure we both have sunglasses and a hat just for the meantime until I figure things out with my managers. I don't want anyone to know who you are because some of my fans get pretty crazy and I don't want you to be swarmed everywhere that you go. The last rule is that you let me pay for some things like groceries and gas for starters."

"Ok, I understand the first two. The last one I don't like, at all. You are the guest in my house which means you don't need to pay for anything. It's nice that you would do that but you really don't need to, so you can scratch that rule off."

"Um no. That rule is staying. Y/n it's not like I'm staying for a week you know. If it was then fine. But for now, we don't know how long I'm staying for so you could at least let me pay for some things while I'm staying with you."

"I don't like taking other people's money when I'm fully capable of paying for everything myself. That goes for any situation I'm in. I'm horrible at accepting gifts too."

"Well, you better get used to it because I love giving gifts and paying for things so... rule number three is staying."

Wow, she doesn't take no for an answer. That's kinda hot though. "We're close right?" She asks.

"Yeah, we are like two minutes away now. Do you have a lot of stuff?" I ask.

"Not a lot of stuff. I just have a bunch of clothes and some stuff for filming. That's all I brought because of where I was staying. It will all fit in the back of the truck though."

"Ok, that's good." We pull into the motel and I help her gather all her stuff back into her suitcases. She has a lot of clothes. We put the suitcases in the back of the car and she goes to tell the owners that she doesn't need to stay there anymore while I wait in the car. I guess this is happening because now she has no other place to stay. I just have to figure out where u want her to stay in my house now.

"Ok, we are all set. I am checked out now." She says as she climbs in the car. Once she's in I watch as she adjusts herself to get more comfortable in the car and I smile at how cute she looks when she stops moving. I start to back up and put my hand on the back of her seat to see behind me and I can feel her eyes watching me. As I turn back around my eyes scan her face to see her biting her lip and smiling. Ok self-reminder, put a hand on the back of Lizzie's seat when backing up. God, she's so cute.

I drive home and when we get there we bring all the bags to the front door. She goes back to grab the last one and I hold the door open for her. She sets it down and we pause for a moment.

"Where am I going to be staying?" She asks. I don't have a plan and didn't fully think this through.

"Um, for now, you can stay in my room and I will stay in the office on an air mattress." I figure that will be fine and I don't want to make her sleep on an air mattress.

"Y/n I'm not taking your bed from you. You are letting me stay at your house. I can take the air mattress on the floor and you can stay in your bed."

"Lizzie I'm serious. There's no way I'm letting you stay on an air mattress. That's the same as if you were to stay in that shitty motel. I am perfectly fine staying in the office and letting u have my room, I promise. I'm not taking no for an answer either." I say sternly.

"Fine. You win. I hope you enjoy that air mattress while I'm all cozy in your bed." She jokes. I start bringing her stuff into my bedroom and clear out a space in my closet for her clothes so she doesn't need to get them from her suitcase every day.

"You are seriously making room for me in your closet?!" She says surprised.

"Of course I am! Like you said yourself, you are staying for more than a week so you mine as well make yourself at home."

"That's very sweet of you, thank you." She says and it makes me blush. I finish clearing a space and she unloads all her stuff while I make us lunch. I'm feeling like something healthy so I just make us a salad with cucumbers, lettuce and tomato. With a dressing of her choice of course.

I finish making the salad just as she finished unpacking so I call her in to eat. "Lizzie, food is ready!" She comes fast out of my room and plops her butt on the chair in front of me and inhales deeply to catch her breath.

"Somebody's hungry." I joke and she laughs before grabbing some salad and scooping it into her plate. I do the same after her and pour some dressing on as well. We are pretty quiet as we eat but she breaks the silence. "What do you want to do the rest of the day?" She asks.

"Well, I have a bunch of things to do around the farm that I didn't do earlier for obvious reasons. But after I do those I am free to do whatever we want. You can come around with me as I do my chores to see how to do everything in case I need your help."

"Sounds good to me!" She says and smiles while continuing to eat. This is going to be nice, but I don't want to get too attached to her if I can help it. I don't know how long she is staying for or what her intentions are so it's better to just be friendly no matter how bad I want to kiss her again. Ugh, I really want to kiss her again. I stare at her lips thinking about the moment we had in the pond.

"What?" She asks.

"Oh uh, what? Nothing." I blurt out. She definitely caught me staring. Whoops.

I notice she's finished and offer to take her plate for her but she refuses and takes mine instead. "Don't think of me as a guest. Think of me more as a roommate who needs to help out around here too. I won't have you treating me like royalty because I can already that's what you are going to do. I have a feeling you treat everyone like that." She says.

"Nope, just pretty girls names Lizzie." I joke and she tries to hide the blushing on her cheeks as she puts the dishes into the dishwasher. Ugh, she's so cute. How am I going to survive being around her all the time?!
