If Only You Knew

Chapter 10

I wake up the next morning with a splitting headache. I place my hand on my forehead feeling pain shorting through my head making me wince. I look over seeing Liv slipping on some shorts, then I realize I'm in her bed. "What the- ow shit" I sit up immediately regretting it as it makes my head hurt even more.

"Oh. You're up, good morning" She turns around with a smile on her face.

"Uh... Goodmorning" I squint my eyes, I can't open them anymore because the light peaking through her blinds hurts my head.

"Oh here. I got some water and pain meds for you" She walks to her end table by her bed and hands me a cup of water as well as a couple pain meds.

"Thank you" I smile tossing the pills in my mouth then gulping them down with the water. "Did we uh... you know... sleep together? My heads a little foggy after we started kissing." I chuckle nervously watching her as she sits down next to me in bed.

"We almost did. But you stopped us saying you were too drunk and that we should talk about it when we were sober." She explains placing her hand down on top of mine.

"I'm sorry about that." I chuckle lightly feeling nervous at her touch.

"It's ok. But I have to ask. Did you mean that last night? When you said you think you have feelings for me?" She asks, her eyebrows furrowing slightly.

"Honestly? The more I think about it.. the more I think I do. You're a great girl, and I'm trying to figure things out. I.. I do have feelings for someone else but. I think the last few weeks of us talking and hanging out have been great and made me start catching feelings for you too" I explain trying not to fumble my words as I have a splitting headache and am also nervous. "I am wanting to move on from those feeling for the someone else..."

"I understand how you feel." She grabs onto my hand, squeezing it softly. "Do you want to give us a try?"

"I... I don't want it to seem like I'm using you to move on from her." I take my hand away awkwardly and sigh.

"No I don't think that at all" She cups my cheeks in her hands and makes me look over at her. "I like you a lot. I want to help... but I won't look at it as you're just using me."

"You really like me?" I furrow my brows at her.

She chuckles and kisses me softly taking me by surprise a bit. "Yes I do. If you want time I don't mind waiting."

"No I.." I sigh grabbing her wrists and take her hands off of my face. "I want to give us a try. I'll ask you now but I do want to take you on a proper date" I turn my body to face her smiling softly. "Will you be my girlfriend?"

"Yes of course silly!" She smiles throwing her arms around my necks and kisses me. I wince from pain in my head again, "Oh sorry!"

"It's ok, don't worry" I chuckle softly and smile grabbing her hands. "But I would love to eat and have some coffee to hopefully help my hangover."

"Right, let's head downstairs and we'll get that started" She smiles getting up from the bed holding my hands as I get up as well.

I grab my phone and start following her downstairs. I click my phone on and see a text from Scarlett.

Scarlett💜:
Good morning Y/n! I'm so sorry again for canceling. I love you and I really miss my best friend❤️ I'll see you soon. I'm off to work but I hope you have a good day. I'll call you when I get the chance

Y/n☺️:
Morning Scar❤️ it's ok. I love you too and I really am excited about next week. I look forward to your call and I hope you have a good day too!

I click my phone off and put it back in my pocket, smiling at Liv as we enter her kitchen. "What do you want to eat?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's been nearly a week now since I started dating Liv. The only person I've told is Talia and made her promise not to say anything to Scarlett. Talia was happy I was trying to move and but I'm extremely nervous about telling Scarlett. Today is her day off and as promised we are spending the day together. I texted her this morning and told her I had something important to tell her but I'm worried that she might get upset. The whole time getting ready and waiting for Scarlett to meet me at the apartment I'm freaking out. After a little while I hear a knock at the door so I open it and am immediately met with a hug. "Hey! Oh I've missed my best friend so much!"

I smile hugging her tightly, still worried she's about to be pissed at me most likely. "I missed you too Scar" I chuckle nervously as she steps back smiling widely.

"What'd you want to tell me?" She queries still smiling, tilting her head to the side curiously.

"Uh... let's hang out for a bit first then I'll tell you." I smile nervously at her.

I think she could tell I was nervous because she kisses my cheek and then grabs my hands. "That's fine. Let's talk for a bit then we can go get coffee. I haven't had any today" She chuckles shutting my front door behind us and leading me to my couch. So after talking for about an hour and a half we walk to the coffee shop near my apartment. We order our coffees and while we wait she nudges my arm, "Can you tell me what's going on? You've been nervous the whole time. Are you ok?"

"Yea I'm ok just... let's go for a walk in the park and I'll tell you. I promise" I smile awkwardly. She nods silently in response and we go back to waiting for our coffees.

A few minutes pass and our drinks our ready. She seems eager when she gets her coffee and walks out of the shop. I follow after her quickly and quietly. Once we are at the park she turns to me smiling "Ok what's going on?"
