Easy on me (Y/N)

Chapter 8

Y/N's POV:
I get Tommy and I ready for Scarlett to pick us up.
"If it isn't my favourite ex?" I smirk.
"If it isn't my least favourite Y/L/N," Scarlett quips back.
"Ouch. Mine was nice at least," I sulk.
"Yeah yeah whatever you say. Get in the car," she instructs.
"Yes boss," I wink.
"And you wonder why my fiancé doesn't like you," she laughs as I sort out the car seat for Tommy. I climb into the front seat sitting next to Scarlett and she's just smiling.
"What?" I question.
"Nothing," she shrugs.
"Did me installing the car seat turn you on?" I laugh.
"Shut up. I just think you're really good with him and this. You're a natural. It's just nice to see," she compliments me.
"Thank you. And I appreciate all your help. If this one turns out anything like Rose then I've done a pretty outstanding job," I smile.
"Right ok. Let's get going before you make me cry with all these compliments," Scarlett declares driving.
"How quickly did you text Lizzie after I messaged you last night?" I ask looking at her.
"About 30 seconds," she admits.
"You're so predictable Johansson," I giggle.
"So what's this woman like? Blonde piercing eyes and an actress," Scarlett teases.
"Her name is Victoria yes she is an actress. She played Love in You the Netflix one. She was blonde for that role but naturally a brunette. Yes she does have incredible eyes," I sigh knowing how predictable I am.
"Have you noticed every woman you dated is basically a variation of Lizzie?" Scarlett taunts me.
"Shut up... I know."

Lizzie's POV:
How do I take my mind off the fact the woman I love is going on a date? Work on ending things with Robbie. I don't want to just break up with him. I want to humiliate him the way he has with me so many times before. I know he's cheating with his best friend. And I know there's evidence I just need to find it. That's why I haven't done it sooner. That's why I isolated myself from her. I needed to end this without him blaming her or targeting her.
Me: Hey are you safe? You didn't come home last night.
Robbie: I told you I was out with the boys didn't I? I'll be back later.
What a dick. He's stupid enough to not realise that he's with the girl in the back of one of the videos his friend posted. Moron. One step closer to being able to fight for her.

Y/N's POV:
We look in shop after shop and I start to get frustrated. Nothing looks good enough.
"This is pointless," I sulk.
"Relax we'll find something," she assures me.
"Ok what outfit did you find me most attractive in?" I ask.
"Hmm formal wear wise I think when you wore that low cut jumpsuit," Scarlett decides.
"Ok that I can work with." We find a couple of jumpsuits that I like the look of. Scarlett's eyes are what I use as a marker of how good it looks as well as the photos shes taking so I can see how it looks. I know the look I'm after. There it is. The lip bite smirk where she looks me up and down.
"You don't need to say anything I know this is the one," I laugh. She blushes smiling.
"Now this is why your fiancé hates me," I wink before heading back inside the changing rooms. Scarlett rolls her eyes at me as I come out of the room with a smirk on my face. I buy the jumpsuit and get Scarlett's  lunch as a thank you before heading home to get ready.

Lizzie's POV:
Scarlett: You're welcome *Image of you in the jumpsuit*.
Me: 🥵 but also 🤦🏻‍♀️ it's not for me.
Scarlett: you know how to correct that 😏
Me: yeah yeah I know.
Scarlett: by the way she called me her favourite ex. You really need to step it up.
Me: 🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼

Really? She's her favourite?
Me: How am I not your favourite ex? We were best friends for years 🤦🏻‍♀️
Y/N: Scarlett 😂 Maybe I don't want you to be an ex at all
Me: Maybe I don't want to be your ex either.
Y/N: are you saying this because I have a date tonight or do you mean it?
Me: I mean it. It'll all make sense soon. Please just read what I've written. It's my thoughts unfiltered.
Y/N: I can't... I've got to try to get past this. You have Robbie and you're getting married. I need to start protecting my heart.
Me: Ok. I understand. I hope she treats you well but this is not the end of us. I'm not giving up. Neither should you.

Y/N's POV:
What does she mean she's not giving up? She's engaged. Time to move on Y/N. A fresh start will do you good. I start to get ready for my date and I'm actually feeling myself. I don't care that my scars are on show. I creamed them and they don't look as scary as they usually do. Maybe I should put concealer over them. Fuck. Maybe this is a bad idea. Before I can panic further the doorbell goes. Well here goes nothing. I walk to the front door open it to reveal Victoria's wide smile at me. As her gaze drops to my outfit she licks her lips starting to smirk.
"You look... just wow," she starts.
"As do you Victoria," I reply kissing her cheek gently as I take the bags of shopping from her. Victoria busily gets to work on dinner and I just sit admiring her.
"It's very hard to concentrate on the food when you're looking at me like that Y/L/N," Victoria blushes. Let me add to it. I walk up to her wrapping my arms around her waist from behind.
"Now you can't see me. Does this help?" I question nibbling at her earlobe slightly.
"N..no," she stutters. I giggle a little before jumping up to sit on the counter top. While she's cooking her gaze constantly drops to my body.
"Eyes are up here," I tease.
"I already told you. You're very distracting," She replies biting her lip.
"Stop looking at me like that or this very lovely smelling dinner will get ruined," I warn her.
"I wouldn't be opposed," Victoria winks.
"Behave or whatever is going on inside your head won't be happening."

We sit down for a wonderful dinner but Victoria seemed very distracted by what I was wearing. Tommy is enjoying his food I don't know how much of it is going in his mouth but his hands are enjoying it.
"You know not many women would cater for me and my son so I really appreciate all the effort you put in to this delicious food," I compliment her.
"You're welcome. Can I ask you something?" Victoria pleads.
"Of course."
"Why do you feel comfortable wearing that outfit in front of me when you said you thought your scars were ugly?" She asks.
"When you said it didn't bother you I looked into your eyes observed your body language. Most people Cringe or can't look me in the eyes when I talk about it but not you. You just smiled and I felt the genuineness from you," I explain.
"I'm glad."

Tommy starts to get tired so I put him down for the night. I sit down on the sofa next to Victoria pulling her legs onto my lap so she can cuddle in closer.
"Can I kiss you?" Victoria checks nervously.
"Of course come here," I encourage her. She straddles my lap kissing me gently then deepening it with every movement. We pull back and I smile at her kissing her forehead.
"Have I told you how stunning you look?" I whisper kissing her again.
"Only a few times," she blushes.
"Well that's not enough. You're radiant," I assure her kissing her lips. She turns bright red covering her face.
"Do I make you nervous?" I tease.
"A little," she admits.
"Yet your words yesterday I just want to see you between my legs. What happened to her?" I smirk.
"Dutch courage. I didn't want to drink too much tonight and uh...," Victoria mumbles.
"Be unable to enjoy it?" I question.
"Unable to consent," she blushes again.
"Oh darling. Do you want me?" I tease trailing my hand up her thigh under her dress.
"Desperately," she breathes out.
"Are you sure?" I check. She kisses me hungrily before smirking.
"I need you," she whispers against my lips. I lift her up taking her to my room as I lay her down on the bed I start to feel a little nervous. This is the first time someone's going to see me naked in this way since Lizzie.
"Are you sure?" She questions
"100%. You can take my jumpsuit off. I can turn the lights off if you don't want to see them fully," I mumble embarrassed. She lifts my chin up to look at her before slipping off my jumpsuit. She kisses every single scar I have.
"Beautiful," she whispers against my lips.
"You're incredible. Now let me make you feel it," I tease dropping to my knees.
