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

Gallery make out

Lizzie POV

...

The time we spend went by fast and we had a lot of conversations about her and her current situation with her parents, about me and how the university is doing. It was lovely to have Aubrey back and talk to her like we always used to do.

But there was one question on my mind that I was slightly scared to ask. I knew there was no way around but I didn't want to get disappointed if she gives me a answer I don't want to hear.

„What is it Liz?" she asks me and pulled me out of my mind.

„Hm? What do you mean?" I asked her and she smiled faintly at me.

„You got something on your mind that bothers you. I can see that."

„I don't. What makes you think that?" I asked her and she chuckled.

„You zoned out for a while. And you denying the fact that you think about something important.
You know you can tell me right?" she took a sip of her wine again which we have refilled both.

„Do you think we will work out again?" It blurred out of me and she was slightly surprised to hear that.

„Do you want us to work out?" she questioned back and I nod not wasting a second.

„This is all I ask for. I want us to be back together. I know we have a history and there has been a lot happening. But I want to try it. I wanna be with you and only you." I opened up and I saw a small smile form on her face.

„I know you actually don't really have a reason to be back with me because of all the things I did. How I messed up big and that two times but I can't imagine a life without you. I really can't and I refuse to do it. So. Do you think we can work out again?" I asked and she nod slightly.

„I want this to work out too. So bad believe me.
I mean Years have passed and we both developed. I don't know if it's into different directions but from what I've seen recently I don't want to be with anyone else. Only you." she responded and I teared up a bit.

„Don't cry. Or else I'll cry to okay. This is infectious." she huffed her hand in front off her face and I couldn't help myself to laugh.

„These aren't sad tears you dumb ass. I'm just happy that we are both willing to go for it. All I wanted in those past years is to be with you.
Now we are here in your gallery sitting on the ground eating pasta and drinking wine. Opening up about what we think and feel. It's just overwhelming. That's all." I whipped my tears away and Aubrey did the same. This is a wholesome moment even though it sounds like a normal situation.

„Come here." she pulled me in for a tight hug and I felt relieved to be back in her arms. The ones that made me feel loved, safe and secure.

We stayed like this for minutes and I wasn't complaining at all.

„I needed this. Thank you." I whispered into her ear and stroked her hair behind it.

„Me too. I missed it. I missed you." she replied and a big smile formed on my face.

Her hugs where probably the most comforting things I've ever had. She wraps me up in warmth and I could stay like this forever. I stroked her back up and down and she rested her head on my shoulder. After some time we pulled back but I didn't let lose directly. My arms where resting on her shoulder and hers where on my thighs by now.

„you really have the most beautiful pair of eyes I've ever seen." she complimented and I blushed like a teenager. Hearing this Fades away when I hear it from others but when it comes from her it has a different meaning. My eyes scanned hers and I've noticed a small detail which blew me away.
