She's Mine

Chapter 29: Finally!

An hour after Lizzie and I say goodnight, I sneak out the front door and make my way to my thinking tree with the bouquet I picked out earlier.

I see Lizzie and my stomach starts to do flips. I can feel my palms starting to sweat every step closer she gets to me.

"Hey! Did Scarlett hear you sneak out?" I say with a smile as she makes her way in front of me.

"I don't think so. She passed out a few minutes after we said goodnight," she explains and laughs.

"Oh, these are for you," I say and hand her the flowers.

She doesn't say anything but forcefully pulls me into a kiss by my hips and I gasp in shock. Instinctually I cup her face with my hands deepening the kiss causing her to drop the flowers in her hand.

I pull back remembering why I asked her to meet me here.

"Lizzie," I say not knowing where to start.

"Y/n I have to ask you something," she blurts out.

"Wait for me first!" I say putting my hand over her mouth so she can't argue.

"Lizzie I have liked you since the first time I saw you but I didn't know my true feelings until earlier today after I talked to Scarlett. Lizzie, I love you. I love every single thing about you. I love how your smile lights up the room and how your eyes sparkle when you laugh. Or how your nose scrunches when you get excited. Ugh, I could go on and on about all the little things that you do that make me so extremely happy," I voice and pause taking my hand off of her mouth.

"Y/n," she says trying to butt in.

"Wait I'm not finished. I realize I have felt this way for a long time now... too long. I was worried that if I opened up to you and told you how I felt, you would have to leave and I would be heartbroken. With your job, I know you travel a lot and you could get a call at any time saying you have to film somewhere far which would leave me here alone. I wasn't planning on telling you any of this until Scarlett told me how you felt about me. That made me realize that I can't be afraid of what could happen, and I should just enjoy your presence while I have the chance. Sorry, I rant when I get nervous. What I'm trying to say is that I feel like we have been dating for the past couple of weeks but I would love to be able to call you my girlfriend. So... Elizabeth Olsen, will you be my girlfriend?"

"Yes of course I will," she says and pulls me back in for a kiss. When our lips connect it feels like the whole world stops and the two of us are the only things that matter.

As our kiss comes to an end, she places her forehead against mine and we both smile.

"It took you long enough," she jokes and we both laugh.

"You know I would have said yes a month ago right?" She asks and I take my forehead off of hers raising an eyebrow.

"Really?!" I ask surprised.

"Duh. I thought I made it pretty obvious that I liked you, A LOT!" She explains and I blush in embarrassment.

"Oh. Oops," I say and she laughs.

"It's ok. All that matters is that you did ask. Oh and by the way..." she says leaning into my ear, "I love you too."

My heart skips a beat when I hear those words escape from her mouth as I feel her breath on my neck. Wow.

A while later after sitting by the pond reflecting on the events of earlier we decide to go to bed, walking hand in hand to my house.

When we walk in the door, we are surprised to see Scarlett sitting on the couch with her arms crossed staring at us.
