"Stay right by my side. And let me teach you how to love. With you, I just can't get enough, oh girl"

"You're flying out of the US for three days?" Aliana's voice boomed through Lizzie's laptop speaker, echoing through the actress' home kitchen.

"Yeah, I have press interviews in the UK and Paris. It's going to take three days." Lizzie answered as she flip the toast in the pan.

A sigh was heard from the other line. "Well, since you'll be mostly working during the day I'll have to be awake at odd hours to be able to talk to you. ." Hearing that Lizzie turned her head to look at Aliana, her expression looking worried.

"You didn't have to, Alia. I can call you whenever I'm free so you don't have to be awake at odd hours. And besides, three days will pass by quickly." Lizzie hurriedly persuaded her girlfriend to not mess her sleeping schedule up.

Aliana grinned, "It's just a sleeping schedule, you're more important." The actress flushed in deep red, and Aliana lowly chuckled. Amusement is seen in her eyes and surprised that she still has this effect on her girlfriend even if they've been dating for almost 10 months.

"Bootlicker,"

"I'm not a bootlicker! You're clearly more important. How did I become a bootlicker?" Her girlfriend's whining voice sounded and she laughed. "You and your words, Aliana. You and your words."

"What's with my words?" The princess whined once again. "You flirt so seamlessly that sometimes I wonder if I'm really your first relationship," Lizzie said while plating the food she cooked and sitting in front of the laptop. She can see Aliana's face, thankful that the camera quality is superb.

"You are my first and last." Aliana affectionately declared, "I don't know what would I do if you were to ever leave me." Aliana added.

"So don't leave me, okay?"

"As long as you stay by my side, I won't leave." Lizzie also declared with all the love she has in her every fiber. Aliana's eyes turned soft and she couldn't describe this emotion, all she knows is she's happy. And that's enough.

"What time is your flight again?" Aliana asked, "It's 9:30 in the evening, why?"

"Nothing, just curious. So we have plenty of time to talk then?" Lizzie absent-mindedly nodded her head while swallowing the food she inhaled.

"My interviews today are quite relaxed, compared to the first two days," Lizzie answered, eating her food still. "Right, have you eaten yet?"

"I did before I called you," Aliana said while smiling as she looked at Lizzie.

"That's good, I'm worried that you're forgetting to eat while working." Lizzie sighed in relief, Aliana's eyes flashed but fortunately, the actress didn't see it as she was busy finishing her food.

"Well, I'll probably forget to eat while adjusting my body to the heavy workload again." Aliana whispered and Lizzie confusedly raised her head, "Did you say something?"

Aliana shook her head. "I will not forget to eat, don't worry."

"Are you going to catch up on your sleep?" Aliana suddenly asked. Lizzie then muses, pondering on whether she should just sleep and have Claire wake her up 2 hours early before the schedule.

Lizzie nodded, that seems like a good idea.

"I may sleep and have Claire wake me up 2 hours before my schedule so I have time to get ready."

"Okay, then sleep now." Aliana agreed. Lizzie looks at her confused, "Now? You don't want to talk to me?" Lizzi frowned in confusion, Aliana panicked and hurriedly explained.
