I walk into my coffee shop and I see Gwen my cousin, at the register and Melissa helping her. There was a lot of people at the shop which was a lot of than usual. I walk up to the cashier.

"You're late, Very late", Gwen tells me annoyed, "You know I am your boss right?", I rub her head which she hates and she hands me an apron. Melissa finishes making some coffees and hands then out to people waiting.

"y/n Marshall, care to explain where you were yesterday?", Melissa asked me. "It's a long story...", she gives me a stern look. "It really is, I swear. We will talk later lets take care of the customers first", I tell her and she agrees. "Hey Melissa I know you don't work here but I appreciate you helping out anyways.", I say before starting to take orders.

30 minutes later we take care of the morning rush and the shop is more calmed down, Melissa pulls me away to have a talk. We sit for a while and I rush to explain to her everything that has happened so far.

"You slept with Scarlett FUCKING JOHANSSON?", she whispers, I shake my head. "Is that all you got from the conversation, did nothing else process ?", I ask. "Sorry but were you not freaking out that's your celebrity crush?!", I give her a stern look, she sighs. "I am sorry about all the lizzie stuff but honestly thank god for her she is the reason you have all these songs now", She says.

"Seriously?", I question. "I am kidding! I don't want her to take you away from me, but if it is something you want to pursue, I cant stop you. Just keep your heart safe because it took me forever to pick of the pieces of your broken heart.", she tells me sadly then reaches over to grab my hand for comfort.

"Hey no one is going to take me from you, you are my agent and best friend and I'll be careful.", she is still holding my hand and we continue to talk. Someone covered up walks in the shop and I tell Gwen to attend them.

[Lizzie's perspective]

I walked into the coffee store and everyone was sitting down enjoying there food and drinks. I walk up to the cashier hoping to see y/n but instead I am greeting by someone else.

"Welcome to Marshall's Coffee shop, What can I get you ?", she asked.

"Hi I am looking for y/n", I said in a low voice. "She is over there talking to her girlfriend, when she should be working!", she yelled out for y/n to hear. Girlfriend? I though to myself and I turn to see the girl from the first night I was here. I get upset, Why am I upset? I question. I order a coffee and bread and take a seat and wait for y/n to be free so I can go talk to her.

I see y/n walk out on stage all giggly and the women just stares at her walk on the stage in the same giggly emotions, what were they talking about ? It made my blood boil, not knowing. Why didn't y/n tell her she had a girlfriend?

"Good morning everyone!", people cheer at the sound of y/n's voice.
"So the beautiful women to my right...", she points at the woman, she was giggly with. "She told me to sing for you all or give her details about events I do not want to discuss! So enjoy this song!"
I huff, when she says beautiful women but I was excited to see her sing, hoping she wouldn't notice me yet. She grabs her guitar and sits on a stool.
"Does anyone have song recommendations?", she asked. The woman yelled "I kissed a girl by Katy Perry", people cheered and y/n laughed and sent a smirk at the woman. She sang the song and then was walking behind the register to I followed her.
"Hey can I get you something?", she asked. She looks at me curiously I forget I was covered up, I remove the hoodie and glasses for her to see me.
"Are you selling talent?", I tell her.
"Lizzie ? What are you doing here?", she asked.
"Umm I really wanted coffee and I also realized I didn't have your number...", idiot I thought to myself.
"Oh right so we can meet in LA, here I'll write it down for you.", she pulls out a napkin to write.
"No just give me your phone..I'll put mine in there", I say hoping she would give me her phone.
"Okay I just have to go to the back to get it", she leaves. I see the woman approaching me, crap was I recognized? I panic a little.
"Elizabeth olsen, I presume...I am Melissa. Y/n's agent and friend", she sticks out her hand for me to shake. "Hello nice to meet you", I say. They are just friends thank god, I thought to myself. She pulls out her phone to show me something. "There are paparazzi picture of y/n and you leaving the hotel almost at the same time and people are trying to speculate", she tells me. Crap, I told myself. "Not sure how you want to handle it but it will probably die down, up to you and y/n if you want to go public with the history you guys have friend wise", she tells me and y/n walks out with her phone.
"What's going on?", she asked. Melissa showed her the paparazzi photos.
"Well it could be worse", she says. I get nervous because I hated dealing with paparazzi and I knew I'd we hung out more there would just be more pictures with her being a new famous person.
"Well if you guys are friends again might want to explain this, if you get asked. It will die down but you know how people like to dig."
"I don't think we should be friends", I say out of fear of being speculated for my sexuality and dealing with paparazzi. I also thought about y/n's career it was to early to get wrapped up in drama from the past. Y/n looks at me confused and angry.
"Sorry publicly...I meant publicly at least yet", I say correcting myself. I forgot about what I came here in the first place for y/n was already looking at her phone scrolling on it. She looks up at me.

"Melissa can you give me a moment with Lizzie?", y/n asked. Melissa nods and then walks over giving y/n a kiss and whispers something in her ear I couldn't hear. Why is she kissing her cheek? If they are just friends, thinking to myself and I forced myself to focus, I don't know why it upset me so much to see y/n interact with Melissa.
Y/n walks over to me and seems serious, I get nervous and she we sit down and she hands her phone. I take it in my hand and see it was already open on her Instagram notifications and the notification for my contact info/Instagram link was there.
"So you know?", I ask her.
"Why didn't you just tell me ? It was you? The stranger, the tickets. The conversation, was it al a set up to get me to talk to you this week?, was it all fake. Did you ask Scarlett to sleep with me ?", she asked me. In this moment I feel like the biggest idiot, she looked sad. How did I manage to hurt her again before I completely got her back. It shattered my heart.
"Yes it was kind of a set up but I was just trying to do something nice for you because you said you liked marvel, I figured it would be our opportunity to talk. Scarlett was not a part of the plan, that was all her, I promise", I tell her.
"So all that annoyance for me loving Natasha romanoff, we're you just disappointed I didn't say Wanda maximoff ?", she asked me. She was right but I didn't want her to know, though I wished I was her favorite character. I decide to change the subject.
"Sorry but are you and Melissa dating?", I ask and she just laughs and tells me no. Thank god.
"Jesus Christ Lizzie you need to relax you are acting like a crazy girlfriend! Listen I am not mad but I guess I am just confused", she tells me. The way she says girlfriend gives me goosebumps, what is wrong with me?
"Yeah I am confused too", I say.
"We'll seeing as I have your number and you have mine... "C" is that for chase ? I should've guessed.", she laughs, "okay I guess I'll see you in LA I gotta get back to work", she goes to give me a quick hug, and I hold on to her for longer then let her go. Surprised she even hugged me at all but it warmed my heart.
"Wait one more question!", I ask. She turns to look at me. "What did Melissa whisper in your ear? After she kissed you on the cheek" I asked. She gives me a grin.
"She said, "to make her a little jealous"", she said send me a wink and walks to the cashier to take orders. I sigh, oh god why was I acting like this ?
