Lunch

Florence

"Lizzie, are you ready? We need to get going if we don't want to be late." I shouted into the bedroom where the blonde actress was still contemplating on what to wear. We were supposed to meet my brother for lunch in about 20 minutes, however Miss Olsen decided she would have to change her outfit for the 5th time. While I was waiting for her to get ready I scrolled through Twitter and read a few tweets from fans.

"I'm ready, let's go!", Elizabeth shouted and finally came out of her room. I closed Twitter and then put my phone away to get a look of what took her so long. Wow.

"Lizzie, you know we're just meeting my brother for lunch, right?", I laughed while looking up and down on her. "And it's not even a fancy restaurant." My comment seemed to have made the actress worry again, as she nervously ran through her hair and then also looked down at her choice of clothing. While I was wearing a blue pair of jeans combined with a light t-shirt, Lizzie opted for a white blouse and nice black pants. "Is this too much? Should I go change again?", she questioned anxiously and I instantly regretted saying anything. So before she could even think about changing again, I grabbed her hand.

"You look absolutely stunning, okay?" A small smile formed from her lips and she blushed a little. (Or as Taylor Swift would put it: The burgundy on my t-shirt when you splashed your wine in to me and how the blood rushed into my cheeks, so scarlet it was maroon.)

We finally made our way to my car, that I parked right in front of Lizzie's house to pick her up. On the car ride we usually would scream out our favorite songs but this time it was just silence. But not the uncomfortable silence, the good one.
Until the actress in the passenger seat spoke up. "I'm actually a little bit nervous to meet your brother." I looked at her in surprise. Why would she be nervous? It's just my brother.

"I know it's stupid and doesn't make any sense but he's your family.. and you're so special to me, so I guess I just want him to like me", she then went on to explain her feelings. While doing that she began playing with the clothing. She always does that when she's nervous. I wanted her to know that she didn't have to hide her feelings with me, so with my right hand I gently squeezed her leg, while still focusing on the road. "I don't think it's stupid, I think it's incredibly sweet. And you're also very special to me, little sunflower."

After that our eyes met and we smiled at each other for a while, before I turned my face back to the street. The tension felt different from what it used to be but I couldn't quite pinpoint what changed. I didn't get to see her reaction after that but I can imagine she was probably a little flustered, because I sure as hell was.

Shortly after, we arrived at our destination, so there was no time left to think about it. My older brother, Nick, was already waiting for us at a table in a quite corner - just like I asked him to. I ran the last couple of meters and then jumped into his arms, just like we used to do it when we were younger. Still giggling I loosened my grip around him and turned towards Lizzie. "Nick, this is the not at all famous or special Elizabeth Olsen. Lizzie, this is the dumber version of myself, Nick", I introduced the two and watched as they were shaking hands. Nick playfully rolled his eyes at me and then turned back to the actress. "If anything, she would be the dumber version of me. I'm older."
