Way Back When (Elizabeth. O)

【２２】

Smut Warning ;)

Elizabeth's POV:

Her trailer

Scarlett had left and I was alone with my thoughts again, as if they weren't always in my head. My anxiety is really building up and I'm really overthinking a lot of scenarios, making them up in my head. Which only leads to me hurting myself mentally, it's draining and all I want is for it to stop.

I'm just laying on my bed, my mind elsewhere. Mostly just Mia and what she could be doing. I know she said she was sleeping but I couldn't help but think otherwise when Scarlett mentioned it.

We have loads of filming still to do and soon we'll be moving out of LA to film shots in different countries, like for example we move to Britain and Scotland for the Avengers headquarters and South Africa for the Sokovia sequence. That's not going to be great, and I'm not that great at flying. Actually that's an understatement, I hate flying.

I roll over onto my side when a knock at the door surprises me. At first I don't move, thinking that was making it up, but then it happens again. Two soft knocks. I check my phone for the time: 22:23. I think to myself what anyone is doing up at this time before I roll out of the covers and plod over to the door.

I twist the nob and slowly peek my head around the door, what I see surprises me to say the least. It's Mia, and her eyes are red and puffy and her cheeks are flushed. If I wasn't an idiot I would have guessed she was crying.

She pushes past me, through my shoulder and into my trailer, I can't tell if she's angry or sad and it's making me nervous.

"Mia are you alright, what's going on?" I ask, puzzled as to why she feels the need to wake me up, we'll I was already awake but that's not the point, at this hour.

"Lizzie you hurt me." She says sternly, with authority. Something about her tone tells me that she isn't crying because I hurt her.

"I know Mia, and you have no idea how much I could take it all back." I say, I got to take her hand so that's she feels more comfortable but she flinches back in defence.

"No, no you don't get it!" She yells, making me nervous, I've never seen Mia this way before. She was always the patient and relaxed one, and I was the aggressive and inpatient one.

"You hurt me, you hurt me... you broke my heart a-and I still love you." She says, I look at her and see that she isn't lying. I can see it in her eyes, her deep brown eyes. My heart skips a beat and I can feel a small hint of a tear threaten to flow.

"You do?" I say, making sure that I heard her correctly. My breathing increases and I struggle to fight a smile that wants to work it's way onto my lips.

"I do, and pretending that I don't is eating me up." She says and looks me straight into the eye, making my stomach feel like a hive of butterflies.

She slowly walks up to me, her eyes not once leaving mine. She reaches out for one of my hands which I instinctively raise, she softly takes and and gently squeezes. I look down at her hand in mine, then up at her eyes. I notice her eyes glance down at my lips then back up to my eyes.

I slowly lean in, closing my eyes as we inch closer and closer. It feels like an eternity before I feel the soft feel of her lips on mine. It's slow, but it's probably the best kiss I've ever had. It's fuelled by so much love and passion that I've never felt before.
