My Beautiful, Beautiful Elizabeth.

All You Need Is Love: Part 3

I walk over to the door to open it. There is a women standing there with grocery bags.
"For y/n ?", she says.
"I um... I didn't order anything.", I tell her.
"OOO THAT WAS WAS ME! I ORDERED MORE DRINKS!", Aubrey yells out from the couch. I just sigh while everyone else giggles at her. I take the drinks from the woman.
"Merry Christmas", I tell her. Before shutting the door. Aubrey comes to take the drinks from me and place them on the counter.

"HI Y/N!", Aubrey says trying to be flirty.
"Hi Aubrey", I say.
"So I am just going to be blunt and say I think you are really pretty", she says leaning closer to me.
"I am going to be blunt and say you are very drunk", I tell her and she frowns at me.
"You are no fun", she says with a pout and I just hand her a bottle and cups that she takes back to Robbie and Clay.

I stay lingering in the kitchen and Robbie walks up to me.
"I think we totally killed that duet", he tells me.
"Well I definitely carried the performance", I tell him and he laughs. "Thanks for earlier", I tell him and he gives me a smile.

"I am going to assume you have something planned out for you and Lizzie today and are waiting for the right time to pull her away", he tells me.
"How do you know ?", I question.
"Because it's what I would do", he tells me.
"I am starting to think we are very alike Robbie", I tell him.
"Kinda weird right ?", he says and I just nod.

"I'll create distraction, but I can't promise I can keep Aubrey from coming to find you after a while.", he tells me.
"Are you being a wing man right now ?", I ask.
"Ahhh...maybe....I am just a sucker for romance", he tells me, I just hum in response and he laughs.
"Just go pull her away, I'll keep them busy."
"You're a good guy Robbie", I tell him patting his back and he nods. We both walk back towards the living room.

I wait for Lizzie to look at me and I nod my head in the direction of my bedroom, she nods and stands up following me discreetly.

I walk in to the room and sit down one of the chairs I set up, when she walks in the room her eyes lighten up as she looks at the warm lighting from all the candles lit and roses spread. She gives me a smile.

"Pretty romantic for friends isn't it ?", she asked.
"What? No ! Not romantic at all, it's is just friends enjoying a Christmas together", I tell her and she laughs, then walks over to join me.
"I wanted you to open your gifts privately.", I say.

"Okay but before we get to that let's just spend time together and talk", she tells me gesturing at the wine on the table.
"I would've liked that too but who knows how long until people wonder where we are", I tell her and she just sighs.
"Yeah, I really wish it was just us", she tells me.
"It's just us right now", I say reaching over across the table to hold her hand.
"Friends hold hands ?", she questions my gesture, I roll my eyes at her. "Yes friends hold hands", I say. I get up and get the boxes with her gifts.

"You know you didn't have to get me anything", she tells me.
"It's nothing too big I am a simple person", I tell her with a smile as I hand her the first gift.

She unwraps it.
"Is this what I think it is?", she asked.
"Yeah, this was the first official copy they gave me of the EP I wanted you to have it seen as you are the inspiration behind the music.", I tell her.

She looks at it for a while and realizes it is autographed.
"Oh my god, you autographed it!", she says giggling.
"Wait open the inside! I made a custom dedication to you for this copy."
"To My Beautiful, Beautiful Elizabeth.", she reads out loud.
"That's very corny but sweet! Thank you y/n, it means a lot that I am the first to have one of these but I would've bought it anyways.", she says.
"Yeah yeah whatever", I say handing her the next gift which was really for the both of us. Wrapped in a small envelope. She opens it the envelope and pulls out a ticket. A plane ticket.
