It's been a week since I've moved in with Elizabeth and everything is just incredible. It felt so natural living together, considering we've been together for just how many months but it doesn't feel that way, more like years. The new environment though, triggers new flashbacks but not the bad ones, just bits and pieces of memories flashing right in front of me, then I would ask Elizabeth if it happened and she said most of them. She doesn't recall the other ones.

One of these are the ones with me building a greenhouse from scratch, it will always come up whenever we're in the back garden where her plants are and we would pick out some vegetables for dinner maybe because Elizabeth likes to get my hands in the dirt to and every single time, I feel nostalgic about it.

Anyway, Elizabeth started doing reshoots the other day and after a ton of every day testimonies and convincing promises, Chase and I are finally off the hook, with the condition of FaceTime while driving, which is literally fine by me, and also texting. I try to keep that in mind because really, I suck at remembering stuff so bad, I think Elizabeth is getting sick of it too and just not saying anything about it and that makes me feel useless but grateful in some aspects.

"Honey, let's go. LA traffic is the worst these days and I really don't want to be late." I snapped out of my thoughts and look up to Elizabeth wearing one of my pullover,  some black leggings, her tan beach bag hanging from her shoulders and some sunglasses, holding out a hand out for me to take. Did I mention she just cut her hair short and dyed it blond which is to die for. She's just stunning as always and I'm very proud of that.

I take her hand and pull myself up in the couch, take her beach bag swung it around my shoulders as I see a hint of smile on her face. I touched her chin and she tilts her head up a bit allowing me to have full access on my target. That soft lips. I lean in giving her a quick kiss and without a word pulled her slightly to leave.

"Okay." I hear her mumble making me smile. We walked out of the house making sure she got everything that she needs before making our way to the parking lot after checking that the house is secure.

"Did you talk to Scarlett? Are you going to pick up Rose?" She asks as soon as we settled in my car. Today is the day of my first babysitting job for my good friend Scarlett Johansson and even though it was a tough decision for her since she found out about the fucking car incident about a week ago, still here we are.

"She wants us to pick up Rose." I say giving a huge emphasis on the word 'us'.

"But I have work Shan and I don't know how long will I—"

"I know sweetheart." I sigh as I turn on the engine and start to back up the driveway. "Anyway, I'll figure out something later on. Can I leave Chase with you?" Her brows furrowed in confusion but nod to my question anyway as she clips on her seatbelt.

"I might take an Uber and just pick up Rose myself without driving a car. Maybe then Scar will give us a ride back to you later on." Her frown eventually turns to a smile and that just tells me that she actually likes that plan. She sits back and takes my free hand in hers, playing with my fingers as we drive through the neighborhood.

"Benedict keeps asking about you honey." She says after quite sometime. "Its starting to annoy me." I let out a laugh hearing that from her. Well, Benedict is really a talker when he's with people he's comfortable being around with and Elizabeth is not an exemption to that. I glanced at my girlfriend who is really not impressed at the moment, and bit my lip trying to suppress another giggle.

"I'm sorry sweetheart, what does he want?"

"He said he wanted to have lunch or dinner sometime and that he wanted to catch up since the last time you two talked was even before our trip to Italy." I won't forget the day I was drained out by him and Tom on set. I felt absolutely tired after a day with those two. It was like an endless interview for the whole fucking day, I took two Tylenol on that day and if Elizabeth didn't came and gave me a ride I might've had two more.
