She's Mine

Chapter 27: Surprise!

I love having Lizzie live with me, and everything is going amazing! But ever since our confession night, she has been much more clingy. Don't get me wrong, I love the attention but sometimes it can feel like too much, or suffocating. It wasn't an issue until a couple of days ago. I haven't really had any time alone.

I'm not sure why she is attached to me lately, and maybe it was because of her whole period thing. Who knows. But I don't know what to do about it. I like the attention but not all the time.

Right now, for example, she's laying in bed doing her own thing and I'm outside doing mine, and it's nice. But I'm wondering what she's doing and all I can think about is being cuddled up next to her, laying in her arms. It's like a can't make up my mind.

After a couple more minutes of talking to myself and trying to straighten some of my thoughts out, I decide to go back because I already miss Lizzie. Again, another problem I have.

I make my way back inside and head to the bedroom where I find Lizzie in the same spot as she was in before. As I enter the room her face lights up and a big smile forms on her face.

"Hey! You're back!" She says excitedly and I nod.

I put on a different pair of clothes for bed and get changed in the bathroom, doing my whole nighttime routine after. Once I'm done, I start to get excited remembering I get to cuddle with Lizzie now.

It feels like just yesterday I was laying on my couch watching her on tv, but now she's in my bed and my- Uhh never mind.

I open the sheets, crawl in, then throw them back over myself as I get comfortable in the bed.

"What are you reading?" I ask Lizzie who is not paying any attention to me, due to the fact she is very focused on her book.

"It's a book I found on your shelf. It's pretty good!" She responds and puts a bookmark in the book before closing it and placing it on the nightstand beside her.

She reaches for my hand and once she makes contact she quickly retracts her hand.

"Y/n! You're so cold!" She says loudly sounding shocked.

"Well, I was just outside," I clearly state.

"Oh right," she says lays on her back beside me.

A few minutes later she still hasn't come closer to cuddle which is making me totally confused.

"Lizzie," I say out loud.

"Ya y/n?" She responds questionably.

"Do you not want to cuddle tonight?" I ask still very confused about what she wants and doesn't want.

"I do. I really really do. I just wanted to give you space. I was all over you today and the past couple of days actually and it was mostly because my emotions were all over the place. I just don't want you to feel like I'm suffocating you, that's all." She says honestly and I am in shock. Is this woman I mind reader?!

"I was just thinking about that. I'm glad you realized that you have been all over me lately because it's true. In saying that, I do love attention from you though and will gladly take all the cuddles and kisses you will give me. There just has to be a limit so that both of us feel like we have space. You know?" I explain and she nods.

"I completely agree."

"Okay good! Now get over here and warm me up!" I say and she immediately smiles before jumping towards me, wrapping herself around my body and sliding into my arms. I hold her close as I feel the weight of her head on my chest and her hand on my stomach. This is one of my most favourite feelings in the world.
