More Than Just One Night

Making it Official

The next morning, Lizzie wakes up in her bed alone. She can hear the sound of sawing happening outside.

She gets out of bed walking to her window that overlooks the back garden. She sees Y/N in a tank top sawing wood. 

She shakes her head before putting on her slippers and heading downstairs. She gets herself a bottle of water and grabs one for Y/N before heading outside.

"Hey sweetie."

Y/N turns around seeing Lizzie walking towards him. He wipes the sweat from his forehead as the suns shines on them.

"Hey love. Did you sleep well?"

"I always sleep well with you. Here."

She hands him the water and he takes it with a smile. 

"Thanks. I've been thinking about that actually."

She raises an eyebrow as he pulls the pencil from behind his ear, marking the wood.

"About what?"

"Well, we both sleep better beside each other and-"

He cuts himself off as he saws the wood before turning to look at Lizzie.

"We spend most of our time in the same room as the other person so we might as well just share. Only if you want to though."

She puts her hands on his chest as he smiles down at her.

"I'd like that."

He leans down to kiss her softly which she returns.

"Have you eaten?"

"Not yet, I wanted to get the wood for the deck and the garden's ready."

"Are you done?"

"Almost have all the wood for both."

"Well you finish up and I'll cook breakfast."

He puts his hands on her hips.

"You don't have to do that."

"I know I want to."

She kisses his cheek before walking off to make them breakfast as he watches with a smile as he drinks his water.

"Stop staring at my ass Y/N."

He chuckles as she walks inside. He continues to cut the wood while she cooks them breakfast. Just as he finishes, she walks out with their plates putting it on their outside table that he moved from the deck.

"Breakfast honey."

"Coming love."

He wipes his hand in his shorts before running over to her and pulling her chair out for her. He pushes her chair in before kissing her head and taking a seat across from her.

"Thanks babe."

"Anything for you babes."

He chuckles eating some her food, moaning at the taste.

"Fuck that's good."

"Watch it. People are gonna think we're having sex in the garden."

He laughs almost choking on the food. She chuckles as he picks up his glass of orange juice taking a sip.

"You make amazing food love."

"Thanks baby."

He smiles softly before they continue eating, sharing their plans for the day ahead. Lizzie heads inside with their dishes, putting them in the dishwasher before heading upstairs to shower. 

Once she is dressed, she heads downstairs and heads outside to Y/N. She kisses his cheek making him smile as he puts the slide together.

"I'll be back late, Scarlett has the whole day planned."

"Have fun."

She smiles before walking off. She gets into Scarlett's car and the two head off for the day. Meanwhile Y/N puts the slide together before working on the swing set and seesaw. 

He moves them around a few times before being happy about where they are. He then tears down the deck, before starting new. 

Halfway through all the work, he takes off his top before continuing. He ends up finishing the deck as it starts to get dark. 

He heads inside and up to their shared room where he gets a shower. He heads across to his room, pulling on boxers and suit pants. He puts on his socks before he buttons up his shirt followed by his tie and suit jacket. 

He heads downstairs and starts to cook dinner when he gets a message from Scarlett saying they're close. He smiles, setting the table and lighting the candles. He pours them both a glass of water and blackcurrant juice. 

He takes the dinner out and dishes it up as he hears Scarlett drive up. He brings the plates to the table before picking up the roses he had Robert bring by earlier.

He stands by the table, hearing Lizzie unlock the door and close it behind her. She takes off her shoes and hangs up her bag, putting the shopping bags at her feet before heading towards the kitchen, dining area. 

"You will not believe how much Scarlett spent on kids stuff for us. We went-"

She cuts herself off as she sees the dinner set up and Y/N standing in a suit.

"Y/N..."

"I thought we could have a redo on yesterday."

She smiles walking over to him and he hands her the flowers. She puts them down hugging him tightly which he returns.

"This is nice but the food is getting cold."

She chuckles letting go of him. He pulls her chair out for her and she sits down before he pushes her chair in and takes a seat across from her. 

"This is lovely Y/N. Thank you."

"Anything for you Lizzie."

The two start eating as Lizzie talks about her day and Y/N looks at her adoringly making her stop as she smiles at him.

"What?"

"Nothing, I'm listening."

"Is there something on my face?"

She goes to wipe her face.

"Only beauty."

She looks at him with a wide smile shaking her head.

"Mr. Sweet talker."

He smiles before looking at the table with a sigh.

"What?"

He looks up at her.

"We need to talk."

Lizzie feels a lump in her throat as he guides her into living room, sitting on the couch. 

"About what?"

He holds her hands. 

"Us. Look I know we said we shouldn't be together because we need to focus on the baby but Lizzie I'm absolutely crazy about you. And I get you might not feel the same but we've had so much fun together these last four months. I mean we're living together, we kiss, we share the same bed. We're pretty much-"

"Shut up."

He quickly stops looking her worriedly.

"Why?"

"You're rambling."

She cups his cheeks with a smile making him smile.

"Then shut me up."

She chuckles before leaning in to kiss him softly which he returns as she climbs onto his lap. She pulls away and rests her forehead on his while he holds her stomach.

"The whole point of that speech was to ask, will you be my girlfriend?"

"I'd love to be your girlfriend."

He smiles softly before kissing her which she returns.
