Lizzie was just finishing up making sure she had everything she needed. The twins had also made arrangements for her house. When her phone vibrated, she groaned thinking it was Robbie with another meaningless I'm sorry text.

Little Tom H : Hi Liz, the house will be ready for you. The key will be under the plant pot by the front door.

She smiled at the text, at least she didn't have to stay at a hotel for months. She had the privacy of a home with a garden and everything.

Lizzie : Thank you Tom. Thank your friend for me too

When she texted him back before locking her phone before picking up the bags. She made her way downstairs to meet the twins in the living room. MK was just getting off of the phone.

"The locksmith will be here in the morning to change the locks." She told her little sister.

"Thank you." She smiled at her sisters, well her protectors.

"Are you ready?" Ashley asked her as she nodded.

The three made their way to the airport. They put on their caps and glasses to hide away from the paps who were always lingering around the airport. They walked passed them all, ignoring their questions before making their way inside.

"Message when you land." MK ordered her sister as she pulled her in for a hug.

"I will." She smiled at them.

"Please also remember to have fun and forget about that filthy bastard." Ashley encouraged her.

"Maybe meet a nice guy." MK wriggled her eyebrows making Lizzie chuckle. They said their final goodbyes before Lizzie had to board the plane. She was nervous at take off because of the turbulance but as soon as the plane flew smoothly in the air, she could relax.

Y/N and Tom were putting the groceries away before Lizzie landed. Tom looked at Y/N with a knowing smirk.

"You know, you will like her." He told his best friend of years.

"Ok." He said with an unsure nod.

"Why do you insist on being lonely?" Tom asked him as he finished putting the vegetables in the fridge. They never had to buy them since Y/N likes to grow his own. They are fresher and tastier to cook with.

"I don't want to turn into him." He stated as Tom gave him a look.

"You know you are the complete opposite of the man he was." He told his friend who looked down. "You are the kindest man I have ever known. Considering all of the shit he put you through, you turned out selfless and kind." He smiled before continuing. "Hell, you've even bought groceries for a woman who can buy this whole estate from you."

"I uh." Y/N tried to counteract what Tom had said but he couldn't find the words. He looked at the counter before his eyes landed on his watch. "I have got to go to work. And you have to pick up your friend." He said as he finished putting the last of the groceries away. He turned on his heel leaving Tom in the kitchen.

Y/N quickly made his way to his home next door. He jumped in the shower quickly before he got changed before heading to his restaurant.

When he walked in the kitchen, he was met with his sioux chef.

"So how many orders?" He asked them.

"We have multiple orders of the Y/L/N special." He said as he looked at the paper as he listed the meals. As they both stood side by side working on the food. 

"Make sure that marinara sauce isn't bland." He told Timmy who just nodded and got the ingredients that Y/N had taught them. The dishes were flying out as fast as the orders were flying in.

"Why don't you hire another chef?" Timmy asked him causing him to sigh.

"I enjoy cooking. It brings me peace." He told him as he stirred the marinara before grabbing a clean spoon and gaving a taste. "A little more parsley." He said before he went to check on the salmon.

"Well it could give you some time off." Timmy stated.

"Well that's why I am teaching you." Y/N smirked at him. "I don't trust many people with my recipes and I trust you."

Timmy couldn't help but smile as he checked on the risotto. They both worked together in harmony as the kitchen staff clean the dishes as they came in. They had a good system going and Y/N was always at his happiest when he was in the kitchen.

Tom had picked up Lizzie and drove her back to the house in Richmond. Lizzie couldn't help but admire the house as she stood before.

"The fridge and the cupboards are full so you can relax until you start work." Tom told her as he helped her with her bags inside. "Y/N grew the vegetables himself so they are fresh. Just the way you like them."

Lizzie couldn't help but feel curious about this Y/N person. He seemed exactly like her. Tom couldn't stop talking about him on the way here and she realised that she and Y/N had a lot in common.

"Thank you." She smiled at him gratefully.

"Maybe one day when you're free, we can go to his restaurant." He suggested with a smile. Yes he may have had a crush on the older woman but she was a good friend of his.

"He has a restaurant?" She asked him shocked.

"Yeah. He is chef and he built it up himself." He told her. She was definitely intrigued by Y/N.

"I will love to meet him someday." She told Tom with a smile.

"Well I will let you get your rest Liz." He said as she walked him to the door.

"Thank you again for this Tom." She smiled at him. He waved as he got in his car and drove off. Lizzie couldn't wait to get into bed and sleep. She had never felt so tired in her life. Jet lag is always a killer.
