Y/N's POV:
We wait for Victoria to grab her stuff and then head back to my place where I order pizza as we promptly realised that most restaurants had shut. I put Tommy in his cot to sleep so I could give her my full attention.
"Ok first question.... Can I get an early copy of your book?" Victoria giggles.
"Sure I've got some in a box in the cupboard. Is that what you came here for?" I laugh.
"No. I don't think I'm ready to reveal that yet," she smirks sipping her wine.
"Fair enough. So what made you pick thrillers?" I question.
"It's a lot of over acting and I love that. Not knowing what to expect is also very fun. I mean when Love turned out to be a killer too I was shocked. But it all made so much sense," Victoria explained.
"I loved that reveal. I think I may have had a little crush on Love until the whole I wolf you thing that was gross," I giggle.
"Yeah that was not the nicest moment to film. I just kept giggling during that part. So you don't have a crush now?" She asks.
"Depends on what happens next season," I tease earning a nudge from her.
"I'm kidding I suppose she's kind of beautiful," I correct myself making her blush.
"That's good to know. Would you ever go back to LA?" She asks.
"I think I'll have to. The only reason I'm doing so well over here is because all my friends are over here filming at the moment but when they go back I'll be lost. My agent wants me to have a book tour across the US and maybe go to marvel to try to get another film to help support my son," I think aloud.
"I'm glad you might just be my favourite character," Victoria admits.
"It's very nice to meet a fan. I'm kidding. I didn't know how I'd be received honestly. I thought people would think I just got the role because of being Lizzie's friend. I spent a lot of time doubting myself," I admit.
"Well I thought you were great. The world always needs some more female superhero's. Do you reckon you'll be marvel's first lesbian superhero?" Victoria queries.
"How cool would that be? Do I get something gay in my superhero name?" I query.
"Super queer or Captain gay?" Victoria jokes.
"You're pretty, funny and likes kids. What's the catch?" I sigh dramatically.
"I don't know. I live in LA so there's distance and I'm 25 so a little bit younger than you," Victoria reasons.
"Yeah still not seeing a problem," I laugh.

We sit drink and laugh. It's been a long time since I've laughed like this. There's a slight darkness about her too.
"How would you say your love life is going now?" She smirks.
"I don't know why don't you tell me?" I challenge her.
"I think it's looking up... if you finally pluck up the courage to kiss me," Victoria reasons.
"Who says I want to kiss you?" I tease. She takes the wine from my hand and pulls me in to kiss her by my shirt. I sink into the kiss just allowing myself to enjoy it. She pulls back a little.
"The way you've been looking at me all evening did."
"And I know what you've been saying back," I taunt her trailing my hand up her thigh.
"But I'd rather take you out on a proper date first if you'd be up for that of course?" I question.
"Yeah I would."
"Um I should warn you in advance if we get to that stage I have scars from reconstruction," I mumble nervously.
"And?" She questions.
"I just think they're not that nice to look at and ugly and-," I start to ramble and I'm cut off by her lips on mine.
"It doesn't bother me. I think we have a good connection. And if I thought you were ready I'd stay tonight but you're not and that's ok. Im going to be blunt I don't care what your body looks like. I just want to see you between my legs," she whispers straddling me.
"Soon. I'll be ready soon," I assure her.
"I know. How about i clear my evening for tomorrow and we have dinner? I'll come over and cook for you and Tommy. Let's start there," Victoria suggests.
"I'd really like that. Tommy doesn't each much except mush," I warn her.
"Oh I know but I know a place that does nice baby food so I thought that'd do the trick," She replies.
"How?"
"I may or may not have looked after we agreed to hang out this evening," Victoria blushes. I lift her chin up to look at me.
"Confidence that's sexy."
"I should get going it's late and I have shopping to do in the morning," Victoria excuses herself. I order her a cab so I can make sure she gets home safely. We exchange numbers as we walk to the door.
"I'll see you tomorrow," she mumbles flustered.
"It's a date," I affirm kissing her gently.

Me: HELLLLPPPPP I NEED ADVICE.
Scarlett: why are you yelling?
Me: I have a date tomorrow. The first one since Lizzie I have nothing to wear and you always look flawless. Please tell me you're free to come shopping with me tomorrow. 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
Scarlett: Yes I'm free I'll pick you and Tommy up at 10.
Me: Thank you.
Scarlett: Have you thought anymore about my question?
Me: I can't be involved in your wedding your fiancé hates me.
Scarlett: Can you blame him? you talk down to him every chance you get.
Me: How can I talk down to a human skyscraper?
Scarlett: Haha how funny 🙃
Me: I know I'm hilarious I'll see you at 10 😏
Scarlett: 🤦🏻‍♀️🙄

Lizzie's POV:
Scarlett: whatever you plan on doing do it fast. She has a date tomorrow.
"Fuck," I yell.
"What's wrong with you?" Robbie asks disapprovingly.
"Stubbed my toe," I lie.
"Right. I'm going back to work," he excuses himself unbothered. Y/N would've cuddled me until I felt better. Ugh. What am I going to do?
