Easy on me (Y/N)

Chapter 13

Y/N's POV:
"Explain what Victoria? That you're kissing some dude's cheek and touching his arm in public. You know this world. Don't pretend you don't. You knew there's a chance you'd get seen. Why?" I question her.
"That guy is my costar I begged him to let me come and see you because I missed you so much. We pushed back the shooting of our scenes by 2 days so I could come home to you. I kissed his cheek in thanks then I went to the car packed my bags ready for my flight this morning," Victoria responds.
"How can I believe you? How do I know you didn't just come here to make this all up? To backtrack because you got caught. Why are you kissing him on the cheek? Why touch his arm?" I challenge her. She looks past me and sees Lizzie.
"Of fucking course. That's why you won't listen to me," Victoria rolls her eyes.
"What do you have to get mad about? Lizzie is spending time with Tommy."
"How the fuck am I meant to live up to her? Look here's the booking confirmation from 4 days ago. I can't believe you wouldn't even hear me out. Actually yes I can. No one is ever going to live up to her. It wasn't fair of you to do this to me. To draw me in and make me fall for you when you're not over her. You never will be," Victoria snaps back throwing the printed confirmation at me before walking away. I take it and read it. Fuck. Before I can talk to her she's gone in a cab. I look at Lizzie and she's right.
"Do you want me to go?" Lizzie asks sheepishly.
"I don't know. Is she right?" I sigh.
"I think so. But the same applies for me. No one compares to you Y/L/N," Lizzie almost whispers as she gets inches away from me.
"She was falling for me. And she didn't lie. Why don't I feel guilty about how I feel right now?" I almost whisper.
"How do you feel?" Lizzie checks cupping my face.
"Like I want to just kiss you. I want to let myself feel everything I've been pushing away for 2 years. Like I want you," I open up.
"You need to talk to her first or you'll feel guilty. I need to end my engagement. We can't rush into this as much as we want to. We have to think about Tommy. And whether we're in the right place to start something," Lizzie encourages me.
"You're right but annoyingly that's not helping," I laugh.
"Easy. Go and call her. Talk it through and then come back here so we can cuddle. I've got Tommy," Lizzie encourages me .

Her hotel booking information is on the email and I head to the room. I walk into the hotel locate her room knocking on the door. She opens it rolling her eyes opening the door.
"Can we talk?" I plead.
"Ok."I sit down on the sofa next to her.
"I'm sorry I didn't hear you out. You deserved the chance to speak but it wasn't because of Lizzie it's because I find it really hard to trust people. You were the first person I trusted to see my scars in full. You were the first person I'd given myself to after seeing my son. I felt very vulnerable with you but you made it ok because you reassured me. Then I saw the photos and I jumped to conclusions. I'm sorry," I apologise.
"It's ok. I understand why you didn't give me a chance but you also have to admit that you're still in love with her," Victoria sighs.
"I am. You're right I always will be but I was starting to get those feelings for you. I was ready to let myself move on fully," I admit.
"So this changed everything?" Victoria pouts.
"I think so. I'm sorry. Talking to Lizzie afterwards she called me out on the same things you did. It wasn't fair to you for me to keep associating with her. It wasn't fair to you to bring you in when I wasn't ready to move on. I'm sorry Victoria."
"It's ok. I knew when I met you. You weren't over this ex and seeing you together. The way you look at her I knew I could never compete with that but I still let myself try," Victoria assures me.
"You're beautiful Victoria and you deserve someone without all my baggage to adore you," I comfort her kissing her forehead making her smile.
"Thank you. Now go and fight for her you idiot," Victoria laughs.
"Ok. I should go. Take care of yourself," I whisper kissing her cheek as I leave.

Lizzie's POV:
I pace up and down with Tommy when I hear the car pull up outside. Y/N walks in with a face full of conflict until she looks up and sees me with Tommy then she does that goofy grin.
"How did it go?"
"I'm single and apparently I'm an idiot and should go fight for you," she informs me.
"I agree," I blush. She walks over to me takes Tommy from my arms and walks into his room. What? I stand there dumbfounded until she comes back. She wraps her arms around my waist kissing my forehead.
"I agree m and I'm pretty sure Tommy does too," Y/N smiles.
"I love you," I mumble tearily. She brings me into a tight hug kissing the top of my head as she strokes my hair.
"Don't worry this'll all be over soon and I can finally show you how you deserve to be treated. We'll take it slow this time Lizzie. I don't want to rush what I intend to last forever. I love you Elizabeth. I always will. Time to start our future," Y/N speaks beautifully wiping my tears.
"I should go so Robbie doesn't get suspicious before Friday. And then you can kiss me without that guilt of yours bothering you," I giggle.
"Ok," she blushes as I kiss her cheek and head towards the door. I wink at her as I shut it behind me. Things are finally falling into place.
