Lost In Our Imagination 2: Not As Planned

50 - I'll Fight For You

February 2019

Livi's P.O.V

"Katie take is easy, you are 5 months pregnant" I laughed as we went through our new dance. We were trying out new styles, well, I was trying to stop Katie trying them out.

"No I'm fine don't worry about me"

"Katie!" I said very seriously and she stopped.

"Okay I won't do it, god you're so strict" she huffed sitting down.

"Thank you" I smiled triumphantly and we both laughed. I went through the dance a few more times so Katie could watch and we could change it. I went through it one last time and once I finished we agreed to stop.

"So have you heard anything from Tristan or Harriet?" I spoke to Harriet but she didn't say anything about Tristan, just that the flight was okay.

"No I haven't heard anything, do you think that means he didn't get to her?"

"I don't know, I guess we'll find out when they answer our calls, or Tristan turns up here again"

"Yeah I guess so, hopefully that is soon"

"I'm sure it will be, I better get home, I think I'm meant to be getting dinner tonight so I need to find out if I need to go food shopping or not"

"My favourite kind of shopping" Katie smiled and I laughed.

"Yeah, well once that baby's out of you, you'll be all over clothes shopping again"

"That's probably very true" She smiled, "How are you and James getting on now?"

"Quite well actually, after our long night chat we've been talking a lot more and are getting on with each other again, we feel like friends again" I smiled, "Although we still haven't spoken about the two of us"

"Well it's a start, you two will work it out I know you will" She smiled and I thanked her before grabbing my stuff and walking to my car. Once I got back to the apartment I opened the door and went to my room to put my bag away.

"Hey Livi" Someone said making me jump.

"Jesus Christ don't do that" I said bending over with my hands on my knees.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to make you jump" They said and I looked up.

"Oh my god, what are you doing here" I smiled throwing myself towards Ben and he picked me up and hugged me.

"I missed you, I wanted to see you" He laughed holding on to me.

"How did you get in here?" I asked after he finally let go of me.

"Well I was hoping you would be in so when you weren't I tried my old key, it still works" He shrugged sitting down on the bed.

"I can't believe you didn't tell me you were coming" I smiled sitting next to him.

"I wanted to surprise you"

"Well you certainly did that"

"Was it a good surprise?"

"Yes it was, I'm so happy you're here"

"So, how are things here? Katie, Brad, Tristan and the others?"

"How about I make you a drink and then I'll catch you up"

"Sounds good to me" He nodded and we walked in to the kitchen and I made us both some coffee.

"So go on, catch me up"

"Well, Katie and Brad are now 5 months pregnant, and by that of course I mean Katie is"

"Wait 5 months? Why didn't you tell me when you were in America?"

"Well Brad didn't even know then, it wasn't exactly information being shared with everyone"

"Understandable" He nodded, "So do they know what they're having? Like boy or girl?"

"They're having a little girl"

"It's going to be very cute, especially is it has Brads curly hair"

"Aw, won't it just" I smiled leaning on the kitchen counter.

"So Brad and Katie done, what about the others?"

"Well, Megan and Connor as still Megan and Connor! And Tristan, well who know what's happened to him as he's not answering anyone's messages"

"Why?"

"Well, Harriet came back but we didn't tell Tristan she was here until she was at the airport leaving, she didn't want him to know she was here, anyway, Katie made him realise he's still in love with her and he went after her, that's all I know"

"Wow, I hope he got to her in time"

"Me too, they're so meant for each other"

"Livi, I need to tell you something"

"First, tell me why you're here?"

"Well that's what I wanted to tell you..." He started, "Back in October, do you remember our facetime?"

"Yeah sort of"

"Well that's when you told me that we couldn't be together because we were in differently countries... Livi, I'm completely in love with you, these past few months have been awful without you and I know you're not having the dream relationship back here. Livi we can be together if we want to be, and I know I want to be with you"

"You've been planning this since October?"

"Well sort of but that's not the point here Livi..."

"Ben, what about you're house, your job, you have no where to live here"

"I told the lads I was leaving and I quit the show in America, I'm staying in a hotel for now, I want to be where ever you are, I don't care about what I'm doing as long as I'm with you"

"Ben I..." I started and then looked at the clock. James was going to be home soon and I hadn't done anything for dinner...

"Look, why don't we take you back to your hotel as it's getting late" I said and he nodded. We got in my car and he gave me the address of the hotel. I walked in to the lobby with him and we walked over to the lift.

"I'll say bye here" I said as he pushed the button.

"Livi, I know this is sudden and I should have talked to you, but I let you go once because I thought it is what you wanted from me, to back away, now I know that's not how you felt I'm going to fight for you" He said holding my hands, "I love you Livi"

"I love you too" I whispered and he kissed me before getting in the lift. It was the same feeling I got in America, like we were made for each other. I didn't know what to think about Ben being here, but the truth is it felt so good to know he was willing to fight for me. I drove to the shop and picked up some food before heading back home. Once I got in James was sitting in the kitchen.

"Hey I wondered where you were, how was your day?" He smiled helping me with the shopping.

"It was insane" I said looking up at him.

"That's because you and Katie are working your magic and creating another amazing dance" He smiled putting his arm round me.

"Yeah, that's what I've been doing" I nodded...
