Reruns (Elizabeth Olsen Fanfic)

Chapter 34

Lizzie's P.O.V.
I woke up not feeling so good. I have a slight headache and I feel so dry and dehydrated. Remind me not to drink again, fucking hell, I hate hangovers. I struggle to open my eyes feeling a slight heat warming up my arm coming from the light of the sun peaking through the curtain gap of my window. I usually love waking up to mornings like these but clearly this is not one of those days. I groaned turning my heavy head and stare at the ceiling blinking to adjust my vision. What time is it? I turn my head again to see the time but a white tulip caught my eye.

She's here.

I blink at it as a smile slowly crept into my lips. She really has a thing for tulips and I love it. Even though, I'm not feeling at my best at the moment, I forced myself to sit up resting my back against the head board scrunching my eyes tight as I felt the weight in my head slightly moved. It's fucking terrible.

I let out a breath as I opened my eyes after the pain fades into a tolerable one before glancing to my side again seeing the white tulip nearly placed on top of my bedside table with a piece of her handwriting under it.

Typical Shannon.

I take the tulip and admire it for a second before taking the note on the bedside table reading every word as a smile grew in my lips.

Good morning sweetheart, I'll be waiting for you downstairs when you wake up. I hope this white tulip will make me see that sweet smile of yours when I see you. I love you

-Shanbee

I miss this, her morning letters. A sense of urgency of wanting to see her comes rushing to me as my heart starts to do jumping jacks in my chest nearly forgetting the hangover I'm currently in. I stare back at the single white tulip in my hand, my eyes sparkling with the beauty of it. All I could think about is her. She's here, just like Kathryn said last night. So maybe I should try and keep my mind relax. This is big I know, but what matters is her right? and the both of us. That's all that matters.

I sigh with a smile and try to push my worries in the back of my mind. I need a time out from it. I just need to relax which reminds me, I need to set an appointment with Joan later on. I got off the bed placing the tulip on the bedside table before making my bed and opening up the curtains to let some sunshine in which burned my fucking eyes.

I did my morning routine before I got out of my room keeping the tulip in my hand safe and secure. A smile slowly appears on my lips as I hear the familiar voice and laughter coming from the kitchen and the television blaring downstairs, not the usual serenity in my house that I enjoy, but yea, I love this one too.

I made my way downstairs and see the kids watching some kind of a comedy movie, I think, in the living room. Their heads turn to me and smiles grow in their faces matching mine. Then my eyes caught the nicely arranged white tulips on the coffee table and that just made my heart melt. It's gorgeous.

"Hi, good morning." I say as I make my way towards them giving them each a kiss on top of their heads while hearing the most gentle 'Good morning Lizzie' I always love hearing from them.

"We met your girlfriend, she's nice and tall." My smile grew upon hearing that my eyes turning to the flowers in front of me.

"Eh" I hear Leonard say in an interjecting way which made my smile fall and somehow intrigued. I shrug it off and thought maybe, he's just on one of his moods, so I just turn to Mae and say,

"She really is, isn't she?" I smiled widely hearing her giggle and nod. I winked at her before letting out a sigh as I hear another set of laughter coming from the kitchen. So I excused myself giving them another kiss on top of their heads ruffling Leonard's hair just to ease his mood up a bit. He got annoyed but I saw a glimpse of a smile as I walk away looking back at him. Yup, he's just in one of his moods.
