Blue Jeans (Lana Del Rey Fanfic)

Chapter 5

For some reason Lizzy felt really nervous about this date then any dates she has ever been to. She sat on her bed and thought about Grant. "Will it be another disaster" she thought"oh this will fine". Lizzy was already running late but finally she made it to small cafe next to the florist. There in the cafe she saw him and it struck her like lightening to see how attractive he was, again he was wearing blue jeans with a fitted white t-shirt which showed off his spectacular tattoo sleeve.

"I was worried you won't turn up" Grant said.

"Sorry I was just...late" Lizzy said.

"Now you never told me you were an amazing singer" he complimented her.

"Thank you" she laughed.

"Well I brought you coffee and a chocolate muffin but now the coffee is cold and the muffin was delicious" he said awkwardly.

"Well at least you brought me something and at least you were honest" she giggled.

They looked at each other then looked down and giggled. Lizzy look up and try to make small talk but they sat awkwardly together until Grant finally asked,

"Do you want to go for a walk along the beach?"

"It's like you can read off my mind!" Lizzy blurted.

"Come on then" he said, he grabbed her hand and took her outside.

Outside there was a blue, convertible Cadillac. He jumped in and waved at her to come in.

"You own a cadillac?"Lizzy asked surprisingly.

"Yeah it was my dad's" he replied "well are you coming in?".

Lizzy squealed with excitement and jumped in. As they rode along the cliff's edge, Lizzy sighed and gazed at the horizon. This was the perfect time to go for a stroll along the beach, because of the sunlight the sand shimmered like a thousand jewels and as the sun began to set, it painted a brilliant colour of orange, purple, red and pink. This was a slice of heaven. Grant parked his car and open her door for Lizzy.

"Wonderful isn't it?"Grant sighed "the sky it's perfect as if something amazing is going to happen"

"Something amazing is going to happen" Lizzy thought "I'm falling for you".

"Oh wait nearly forgot" Grant said, rushed back, opened the boot of his car and took out a bottle of Jack Daniel's.

"I remember this was your favourite" he joked and gave one to Lizzy "come on what are you doing just standing there?".

Lizzy smirked and she took her heels off and ran off chasing him along the beach soon she caught up with him and jumped on his back.

"Ah you just flicked sand on me" Grant sniggered.

They both collapsed onto the soft sand and looked deep on to each other's eyes. Lizzy was captivated by his gorgeous hazel eyes, she shuddered not because she was cold but because his eyes touched her soul.

"Oh are you cold?" he asked and he put his leather jacket over Lizzy.

"So you said you are a writer" Lizzy said and huddled into his jacket.

"Yeah I try to be" he smirked.

"Go on tell me something deep, win me over" Lizzy insisted.

"God this is going to make me sound desperate " he said " your eyes are as blue as the ocean, it makes my heart drown".

Lizzy looked at him and started laughing.

"What?" he asked and flicked sand at her.

"Hey!Wow your tattoos, they're beautiful what do they mean?" she asked.

"Well they all mean a lot, my first tattoo was this" he said and pointed at his large butterfly tattoo on the middle of his chest. "My mom always told me I had a butterfly soul."

"A butterfly soul?" Lizzy asked curiously.

"She said to me. Butterflies can't see their wings. They can't see how beautiful they are, but everyone else can and my soul was a beautiful, mysterious and fragile as a butterfly" he explained.

"Wow that is beautiful" she replied

"So do you have any tattoos?" He asked.

"No always thought of having one though" she said.

"Well you come to my shop " he suggested.

"Ergh I'm not a huge fan of needles" Lizzy added

"So what's your life story?" he asked.

"Ergh a tragic one" she answered.

"How?" He asked.

Lizzy hesitated for a while.

"Well I born to world of rules but unfortunately I was born wild, my father was a famous lawyer and my mother was from a rich British family. They wanted me to go to Harvard and become successful like my older brother but I had my heart set on being a singer. The day I left home they thought I was fucking crazy but I was finally free. I left them, shattered their dreams and moved to New York, they cut me off, I was poor as church mice but I was happy" she explained.

"Well look at you now you are a fantastic singer" he comforted her.

Lizzy put her head on Grant's shoulder and they both admired the sunset.

Lizzy's thoughts:

Let's get out of this town, baby we're on fire
Everyone around here seems to be going down, down, down
If you stick with me, I can take you higher, and higher
It feels like all of our friends are lost
Nobody's found, found, found

I got so scared, I thought no one could save me

You came along scooped me up like a baby

Every now and then the stars align
Boy and girl meet by the great design
Could it be that you and me are the lucky ones?

Everybody told me love was blind

Then I saw your face and you blew my mind

Finally, you and me are the lucky ones this time

Boy, get into my car, got a bad desire
You know that we'll never leave if we don't get out now, now, now
You're a careless con, and you're a crazy liar
But baby, nobody can compare to the way you get down, down, down

I tried so hard to act nice like a lady
You taught me that it was good to be crazy

Every now and then the stars align
Boy and girl meet by the great design
Could it be that you and me are the lucky ones?

Everybody told me love was blind
Then I saw your face and you blew my mind
Finally, you and me are the lucky ones this time

Feels like, feels like, you know,
It feels like falling in love for the first time
Feels like, you know,
It feels like falling in love

Every now and then the stars align
Boy and girl meet by the great design
Could it be that you and me are the lucky ones?

Everybody told me love was blind
Then I saw your face and you blew my mind
Finally, you and me are the lucky ones this time.
