My Beautiful, Beautiful Elizabeth.

I Am Wearing Happiness

I wait for Lizzie to be completely out of sight and then go back inside the car, James turns to look me and gives me a soft smile.

"You look like what babies look like when you steal their candies", he says trying to lighten the mood.

"Yeah...more like I am the candy and someone just stole my baby", I tell him and pout, he laughs.
"That doesn't make any sense", he says and I just shrug my shoulders and sigh.

"You and Lizzie have practically been in a relationship since you came back into each other's lives. A very weird relationship but still it's your own and it is still love. So long as you don't underestimate the power of love, you will both be okay", he tells me driving away from the terminal.
"Thank you, James", I tell him and he nods.

"Though now that I have you alone...I wanted to talk to you about Lizzie and tell you not to hurt her or else I'll ...", he begins to lecture me and I laugh lightly interrupting.
"James...I don't need that lecture. I think I am good in that department", I tell him and he smiles.
"Fair enough but just so you know, and never call me Jamie again or I'll quit my job", he tells me in a serious tone.

I take my hand and pretend to zip my lips and he laughs. He drives us to the coffee shop, where we were going to meet up with Scarlet.
A long car ride later we finally get to the shop and I see Gwen already working an evening rush.

"Gwen! Hi! Good news for you and some bad news", I tell her walking behind counter to help her make coffee.
"Bad news first ?", she questions while serving some cups.
"Bad news you are going to have to work more hours", I tell her and she looks at me nonchalant about the idea.
"Good news ?", she asked.
"You are being promoted to co- manager and getting a raise", I tell her and she has a disappointed look.

"What's wrong ?", I ask.
"Y/n I pretty much run this place already, but thanks for the raise", she tells me going back to work.
"Fair enough", I say.
"Let me have the shop", she asks
"You aren't old enough for the shop, and I love this shop.", I tell her.
"So do I and I am the only other one who loves it here as much as you do, I'll even name a coffee after you...you are going to go off on tours and this place is all I got"
"That's not true, you have me", I tell her and she sighs.
"I am just going to miss you okay..."
"Oh...well I'll call you all the time and it won't be that long, I'll fly you out to shows and you can bring your friends"
"Seriously ?", she asks excitedly
"Seriously", I tell her and she smiles and goes back to work.

"Are you both done mopping around, what's a girl gotta do to get some coffee around here?", Scarlett says.
"SCARLETT! HI HOW CAN I DO YOU? HOW CAN YOU DO ME? HOW COFFEE? WHAT, COFFEE...what...coffee...can I...get for you", Gwen pleads out and gets embarrassed, I shake my head at her nervousness around Scarlett and laugh to myself as she tries to put herself together.

"Gwen you don't have to be nervous, we've met before...but I'll have just a basic coffee thank you"
"I am welcome...What?....no you are welcome...I am just gonna go make your coffee now", Gwen says walking away to make a coffee.

"Hey scar, how are you?", I ask her
"I am doing good, I assume you are doing good as well. So can we skip the small talk so you can tell me all of this Lizzie business", she says and I laugh.

"Long story short she came for Christmas break...I met Gaga...did the New York time square show which was crazy by the way...she confessed her love and I asked her to be official though it won't be public and now she is gone again and I am about to tour", I tell her and she looks at me confused trying to process everything.

"Okay but what does Gaga have to do with this?", she questions.
"I just wanted to flex that I met her", I tease
"Oh please, I've been to Gaga's parties.", she adds back.
"Of course you have", I say rolling me eyes.
