Belated Fate (Elizabeth Olsen x Fem!Reader)

Chapter 38. Not perfect peace

Y/n's POV:

"Sleepyhead, it's time to wake up," a feather-light, slightly ticklish touch of her fingertips on my forehead and then cheeks makes me wince a little and roll over onto my side with my eyes still closed, not wanting to get up at all.

"No-no-no, we can't have that," she gently takes my shoulder and turns me back, a couple of seconds later landing a gentle kiss on my forehead, running her hand through my messy hair. "I already got up an hour ago, it's your turn now," her voice sounds right above my face as I feel her warm breathing all over it and then another kiss on the tip of my nose, which makes me finally open my eyes and see the gorgeous beauty, bent over my barely woken up body.

"There you are," a delicate smile is spreading across El's lips as she sits down next to me on the bed, placing her hand on my stomach and starting to stroke it in slow movements, which immediately causes my heart to fill with love and affection for her.

In the last few days after what happened in the restaurant, something in Elizabeth has changed, but I can't tell exactly what it is and it sometimes confuses me, because her behavior is a little different from usual. I tried to talk to her about it and clarify what we were going to do, but she just changed the subject, explaining that everything was alright and we should not worry about it.

"What time is it?" I ask in a slightly hoarse voice, stretching my arms over my head and making a big morning yawn, then rubbing my eyes from sleepiness and seeing how El doesn't stop smiling.

"It's definitely time to get up." Her hands find my ribs and her fingertips begin to move up and down, pressing on them in an attempt to threaten to tickle me, but I only squirm under her touch, finding her hands with mine and clamping them in my grip.

"I don't want to," I bring them to my lips, giving each a few kisses on the knuckles, trying to appease my girlfriend into letting me lie in bed a little longer, watching her smile only widen at my action and her cheeks get a pinkish tint.

"Don't bargain with me and don't try to curry favor, sweetheart," she addresses me in an admiring tone, placing one of her hands on my cheek, immediately causing me to lean into her warm touch.

"But I'm tired," I quietly whine, still being stubborn about getting up, seeing her calmly exhale and tilt her head to the right with the same amused smile on her lips.

"You've been sleeping for 9 hours straight without even moving, have a conscience," she chuckles, pinching my cheek, which once again makes me think about her a bit weird behavior with this extreme affection and tenderness, because I expected her to be in the low mood after what happened.

"Scar invited us to come over today," Elizabeth says, wiggling her eyebrows and I'm immediately pulled out of my thoughts, hearing her words, which make my lips involuntarily stretch out in a wide excited smile.

Probably never before in my life did I get out of bed as quickly as now, literally in a couple of seconds finding myself standing in the middle of the room with a happy expression on my face and full readiness for this day.

"Why are you still sitting there? I'm ready to go now," I proudly inform her, straightening my posture and placing my hands at my hips, smiling showing my teeth.

"Without pants?" She chuckles, glancing at my naked lower body, covered only by a long oversized T-shirt.

"If she wants me to come without pants, then I will," I tease her back, grinning playfully and seeing her roll her eyes as she stands up from the bed and walks towards me.

"Just admit already that you're only dating me because Scarlett is my best friend," she says, wrapping her arms around my waist and then gently lowering them to my ass, squeezing it softly in her palms.
