Peter POV
I was dreaming, if that's what you would call it. It was better than a dream. And it seemed so real. Elizabeth and I were laughing and holding hands. I looked into her dark brown eyes and was just about to lean in and kiss her when I heard a loud ringing. I tried to ignore it but it was getting louder. Then I woke up and realized it was my cellphone that was ringing. I answered it without looking at the caller id.
"Hello?" I said groggily.
"I'm sorry, did I wake you?" A familiar voice said. I was wide awake now.
"Elizabeth?" I asked.
"Yeah, it's me. I'm sorry I woke you. This was a bad idea, I'm sorry. Goodnight." she said embarrassed.
"No!" I yelled frantically. "it's completely fine. I'm awake."
"Oh, uh, I was just wondering, if, uh, if you're not doing anything right now, uh, if..." She stopped and I giggled at how nervous she was.
"It's ok Lizzie, what do you need?"
"I was just wondering if I could come to your trailer. To talk. I can't sleep. And usually when I can't sleep, it helps to talk to someone and Nikki was going to stay the night but she had to go home and so I'm alone now and I can't sleep. Sorry. I ramble when I'm nervous." she said quickly.
"Of course! Anytime you wanna talk you can always come over! Anytime of the day! Even at..." I checked my watch "3:30 in the morning." I said while laughing. She sighed, relieved.
"Ok, thank you. I will be over in like five minutes."
"Ok, bye." I said, and hung up. Five minutes. She is going to be here in five minutes! I have to clean! And brush my teeth! I don't have time for a shower.
I got up and ran around frantically. Five minutes later, everything was cleaned and I was smelling good. I heard a knock on the door. 'She's here!' I thought. I ran to the door and opened it. There she stood, with her hair in natural waves and she had no makeup on. She was still wearing just the shirt and I smiled in appreciation. I invited her in and we sat on my bed.
"Do you want to turn on a movie?" I asked.
"Yeah! What do you have?" She replied.
"Uh, how about 'A Roman Holiday'?" I suggested. I was unsure about it because not everyone likes black and white movies but I do.
"Oh my gosh! That's my favorite movie! I love Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn!" She said excitedly.
"You like black and white movies?" I asked bewildered.
"I love them! I thought I was the only one! Everyone says I'm such a nerd for it but I don't care much." she said.
"Well we can be nerds together then." I said as I put the movie in. I popped some popcorn and say on the bed next to Liz. I couldn't concentrate much on the movie, I kept looking at her out of the corner of my eye. The next events happened so fast. There was a flash of lighting, a scream, and then popcorn went everywhere. I looked over at Liz and realized she was the one that screamed and threw the popcorn. She looked at me with wide eyes.
"I'm sorry I screamed. I've just always been really afraid of storms."
"That's okay. Let's just try to go to sleep then." I suggested. She nodded in agreement so I turned off the TV and put my arms around her. I held her like that until she fell asleep on my chest. I swept her hair out of her face and whispered into her ear, "Goodnight love. Sweet dreams." and I kissed her forehead and fell asleep.
Elizabeth's POV
I feel like such a baby. Why do I have to be afraid of thunderstorms out of everything! I guess it was worth it though, since I got to be held by Peter. I know i have a boyfriend but that was before i met Peter. I don't want to settle for Gavin anymore. I'm tired of him getting drunk and hitting me every damn night.
I was exhausted so I lay on his chest and close my eyes. I think Peter thinks that I fell asleep because he started playing with my hair and whispered things like "beautiful" and "lovely". Then he said, "Goodnight love. Sweet dreams." And he kissed my forehead and fell asleep. I got more comfortable and fell asleep in my love's arms.
