Lizzie POV:
Someone knocked on my cabin door but I was unable to get up because I was paralyzed from flashbacks. I started to have a panic attack, my breathing suddenly quickened, the walls around me oppressed me and my vision blurred because of my tears that wouldn't stop flowing.
The knocking on the door suddenly stopped and Y/n walked through the door and rushed to me, hugging me. She didn't ask any questions, she just waited for me to calm down and be ready to talk. After several minutes, I regain control and begin to speak but I remain in Y/n's embrace.
"Thank you" I whisper.
"You're welcome, I'll always be here if you need me" she replies smiling at me. "Do you want to talk about what happened to you?
"I was angry at Scarlett for asking that question so I came to my cabin and started having flashbacks of that night..." I pause and look up to meet Y/n's eyes and she urges me to continue.
"Then my anxiety took control and I started to have a panic attack. When the rest you know it" I finish by letting out a small laugh
"That's in the past, okay? But if this thing between us is ever going to continue, we'll have to talk about it so we don't make the same mistakes again" Y/n tells me and I nod. "You should go to sleep" suggests Y/n
"Can you sleep here, with me?" I ask, tightening my arms around her
"Yes if you want" she answers me by kissing my forehead then helps me to get up then we slip under the covers and a silence settles. Several minutes pass but sleep does not come so I turn to Y/n who looks at the ceiling.
"Y/n?" I call her
"Yeah ?" She answers me by turning to face me
"I can't sleep. Can we cuddle?"
"Turn around" she says and that's what I did, she places her arm over my belly and brings me as close as possible to her and rests her head in the hollow of my neck.
"Thank you" I said.
"You're welcome" she whispers to me so low that I have the impression to have imagined it to answer me then I let myself carry by the tiredness and fall asleep.
Y/n POV:
It's been a week since our weekend on the boat. We all went back to our jobs, me as the butler and Lizzie and the others as the actors. Even though things seemed to be getting better between me and Lizzie, the last night on the boat ruined everything. Lizzie and I avoid each other, we don't talk anymore. Scarlett has apologized a million times but I haven't forgiven her and I didn't talked to her since. On my side, I'm getting ready for the surfing competition and I must admit that I'm super excited.
This morning as usual now, I take my surfing stuff, my car and drive to the sea. Once my training is over, I stay on the beach for a while to think and go back to the Olsen mansion to make some food. In the kitchen, I run into Lizzie, sitting at the counter with a cup of coffee in her hand and a newspaper in the other.
"Hi" I say.
"Hi" she answers me shyly
"Do you want anything in particular for this morning?
"No, I'm fine, thanks" she says before getting up from her chair and leaving the kitchen.
I let out a sigh and start making waffles then go back to my room to take a shower. Once my shower finished, I go down in Mr. Olsen's office.
"I fear the worst" I mumble as I open the door of his office
"Hello Mr.Olsen, you wanted to see me?" I ask shyly and knowing very well why he asked to see me
"Yes. Please sit down" he says, motioning for me to sit down. "Well, I've noticed that your attitude has been weird since you came back from that weekend.
"Listen Mr. Olsen, I can explain everything to you" I begin.
" That's not necessary, I'm very happy for you" he continues
"Thank you but are you sure you don't mind?" I ask him confused.
"Absolutely not. Tell me who could boast of having a future surfing pro as a butler" he replies with a smile and twinkling eyes
"Not many people, if you ask me" I reply with a shy laugh.
"Well, I'll let you get back to your activities".
I get up and open the door but he stops me before I get out.
"By the way Y/n I advise you to keep the promise you made when I gave you this job" he warns me with an air of distrust
"I never make empty promises, Mr. Olsen," I told him before leaving his office.
After this warning from Mr. Olsen, I knew I had to talk to Lizzie but also to Chris for telling him that I was in a surfing competition.
