My Beautiful, Beautiful Elizabeth.

Salt & Sugar

It was night time, I finally got home after a long day of working at the coffee shop and waited for Lizzie to get here. I had no idea where to take Lizzie for the date, I thought about where to take her as I work on my setlist.

I hear a knock on the door.
"It's open!", I yell out and Lizzie walks through the door.
"Hey! how are your sisters?", I ask her. "They are doing good, how was the rest of your night?", she asked. "Ah, you know work is work, I am working on my setlist. Come check it out", I tell her and she walks over to me looking at my list from over my shoulders wrapping her arms around like she normally did.

"I like it! all the songs on the list are about me", she teases. "No! Really ? I didn't know", I say sarcastically.

"I am going to go get ready for bed!", she tells me walking away, gives me a kiss on the cheek as she always does before walking away, I smile to myself.

"Ill meet up with you in there in a bit, I am just going to fix this up and organize my thoughts", I say her and she gives me a nod.

Truly staying up to plan the date. I feel like most of our dates were spontaneous and free which I enjoyed but I wanted to do something special for her yet still authentic to us and our vibes. Nothing came to mind, so I decided to sleep it off and meet her in bed. I walk in my room and Lizzie is laid on my bed reading a book that I had in on my nightstand.

"You waited up for me?", I asked her as I walk around getting my pajamas to change too.

"Well was I suppose to cuddle myself?", she said back and I laugh. "We don't even cuddle every night ?", I throw back at her and she rolls her eyes. "I am feeling particularly cuddly today", she tells me going back to reading the book as I change. I curl up in the bed next to her and she sets the book aside opening her arms for me to lay in. I get comfortable in her arms and relax, when a random thought pops up in my brain.

"Why did you stop playing volleyball?', I ask and she giggles. "Oh god! you still remember my volleyball days?", she tells me, "well cause I sucked y/n and I was consumed by theater and acting"

"I think you could've been the Serena Williams of volleyball", I tell her teasingly and she shoves me off of her, making me laugh.

"You are mean! It was a temporary hobby alright? Should we talk about when you were certain you were going to be a baker?", she tells me and I shove her back.

"I am a great baker!? I definitely would've been the Gordon Ramsay of baking", I tell her.

"Y/n...My love...I am sure you still confuse salt and sugar!", she teases and I just laugh. "It was one time!", I argue back making her laugh. She reopens her arms for me to lay on and I lay back down getting comfortable on her.

"MY LOVE!", I yell out randomly making her giggle. "God I love your laugh, it brings me such joy. Its like seeing a rainbow after it rains. That's what it feels like in my heart like being shot with a rainbow", I tell her and she stays quiet but I can sense she was smiling.

"Was that your sweet way of saying I make you gay?", she teases and I start laughing with her. "You are to good to me y/n Marshall", she tells me and I look up to her smiling and she leans down to share a kiss with me.

"Goodnight lizzie"

"Goodnight...my love", she says filling me up with warmth right before we drift to sleep holding each other all night long, a feeling that I would never get tired of.

In the morning I followed the same routine of living Lizzie and going to work early. I left her a note to meet me when she woke up. I am making coffee with Gwen stressing about the date.
