We met again in fall (book 2 of Just a professor)

What happened four years ago?

Lizzie POV

The sun peaked through my curtains and it woke me up. I glance to the side seeing Aubrey still fast asleep. She hugged herself and buried her face into the blanked and she looked adorable. I glanced at my phone and it was around 9 a.m. I got up quietly and made my way down to the kitchen getting some food ready for Aubrey.

Aubrey POV

The smell off food filled my nostrils and I began to walke up slowly as I feel the sun on my face.
I woke up not realizing at first where I am.
As i realized that I am in Lizzie's bed my heart rate went up in an instant. Shit what have I done. All this drinking made me act like a total fool.

After some minutes I decided to walk down.
I walked down quietly and the smell off food got stronger. I heard some music playing which wasn't all to loud. The atmosphere was warm and cozy and I felt hugged from the warm temperature.

I walked around now standing in the kitchen watching Lizzie get something out off the fridge. She didn't notice me and I just stood there watching her every move.

„I hope I wasn't a burden yesterday night." I spoke up gaining her attention instantly. She shrugged together in shock and I walked around the kitchen island sitting down on the other side.

„You Are Never a burden bre." she answered and I nod giving her a half smile.

„Whatever you say Elizabeth." I played with my rings which was a thing I do every time.

„How do you feel?" she asks me while chopping some food.

„Could be better. But I bet I'd be worse if you wouldn't have cared for me... so thank you." I answered and she smiled softly at me.

„I'm glad that I was able to help." she answered and gave me a pill with some water.

„I'm sure you need this right now. It'll help with the hangover." she added and I raised my brows while accepting her help.

„Yeah. I haven't really been that drunk in what feels like ages. I just tend to do some un-rational stuff when I'm hurt I guess."

„We need to work on that." she said and I raised a brow not knowing what she meant.

„On what exactly?" I questioned.

„That you won't do un-rational things when your emotionally drained." she replied and I huffed out.

„Yeah. Good luck with that. Somehow I feel like a magnet for bad emotions. Bad situations. Bad people. You name it." she raised a brow stopping in what she was doing just looking at me trying to analyze anything.

„Do you remember the things you said that night?" she asks me and I nod which surprised her.

„Not everything. I have little gaps but I know what I said." I explained to her.

„Alright. Because we have a lot to talk about." she pointed between us and I wasn't really following.

„About what? How the weather is?" I joked but she didn't laugh.

„I'm sorry but I don't want to drag you into my life since it's going down hill." I answered and she just shook her head.

„I don't want you to apologize for this. Everyone's life can go down or up hill. I've been in your life before and I don't think I ever left." she replied consciously.

„Yeah. I know I've said and done a lot of things yesterday. So why don't you ask everything at a time and I'll tell you what I think." I was surprisingly operate to intertwine with her conversation and she was just as surprised as I was.
