Opportunity of a Lifetime: A Lizzie Olsen Story

Ch 41. Group Chats and Grudges

Lizzie's POV:
15th August
I swear to god, that man had better stay the hell away from my girlfriend, with his stupid hair and his stupid smirk. He needs to learn that he can't have what's mine.... "Lizzie.... Lizzie... Elizabeth!" I am snapped out of my thoughts by the sound of my girlfriend's voice and the feeling of her squeezing my hand. "Huh?" I question, trying to shake my head clear of my thoughts. "Are you okay? I have been trying to get your attention for the last few minutes." Y/N tells me, making me feel slightly guilty that I have been ignoring her.

"Oh, yeah. I'm okay, I just really don't like that Marlin guy, he needs to back off." I reply, a slight bit more bite in my tone than necessary. "Babe, it's okay. He is just being friendly..." She replies, trying to convince herself just as much as she is me. "Y/N, baby. He isn't just being friendly.. He likes you and he is trying to make a move on you." I reply, not being able to look in her direction because she will know instantly that I am just a raging ball of jealousy. "Liz..." My girlfriend starts, only for me to cut her off. "No, Y/N, he is hitting on you, it's so obvious. He is just desperate and needy and he needs to back off." I state, finally snapping and my jealousy coming on strong. I instantly regret my tone and turn to face my girlfriend who has a small smirk on her face. "Miss Olsen, I like this side of you.. The protective, jealous girlfriend... it's quite attractive." She says earning herself an eye roll and a small "shut up" under my breath.

The rest of the car ride goes by smoothly and before I know it, we are pulling into the parking bay of her apartment. Hand in hand, we make our way up the elevator to the correct floor, not holding back our quick make-out session in the elevator before exiting the lift and walking up to the front door that she unlocks and steps aside extending her arm "after you." she says with a cheeky grin. I press a quick kiss to her cheek in thanks and walk in, heading straight to the fridge to grab us a couple of bottles of water and then move to flop down onto the couch, Y/N following right behind me and matching my energy with a small giggle.

"Where is Lexi?" I ask, looking over at the door noticing her bag is not on the hook and her keys are not on the table. Y/N sculls some of her water before putting the lid back on the bottle and leaning forward to place it on one of the coasters. "She has rehearsals that are running pretty late at the moment." she says with a shrug of her shoulders. "Oh, I thought she was finished with the gig for that smaller artist," I say, copying her actions and placing my bottle on the coaster next to hers. "Oh, no, she did finish with that guy. She booked another gig for a music video" Y/N says, leaning back onto the lounge and slipping an arm around my shoulder, my body instantly gravitating into hers as I cuddle into her side. "That's amazing! Do you know who the artist is?" I say, genuinely interested in my new friend's incredible opportunity. "Nah, she won't tell me who it is. Says it's a surprise, but I can tell it's someone really cool because she had to sign an NDA and she has been bouncing around the flat like she is on cloud nine for the past few days." She tells me with a giggle that I join in on. "Classic Lexi," I say. Y/N lets out a slightly harder chuckle. "Yep, classic Lexi." She replies as she grabs the remote to put on some random TV while she tells me all about her first day.

"And then, there was this cute little boy named Zephyr and he said his favourite food is chicken nuggets," She says with a small chuckle that causes my heart to swell. This is easily one of my new favourite things... listening to my girl talk about her job and the kids in her class. It is so obvious that she loves every second of it and she is so passionate and it's so friken cute! Before she can continue talking, the sound of my phone ringing interrupts her adorable rambling. I pick up y phone and see Ashley's contact. "Sorry baby, it's Ash and Katie, I got to get this," I say apologetically before answering the face time and watch as my sisters' faces fill the phone and their bickering begins to fill our ears.

"Ashley, move your big head out of the way!" MK says, pushing Ash's head to the side. "Shut up, Mary-Kate! Hey Lizard, how are you?" The older of the twins ask me. Before I even get the chance to answer MK's voice pipes up. "Hey Lizzie, I miss you, how is my favourite sister?" Y/N and I both chuckle at my sisters' antics before responding. "Hey guys, I'm good, how are you?" I ask them, looking over at my girlfriend, rolling my eyes playfully. "That's good, we're good, where is your girlfriend? We want to talk to her?" Ash says in a slightly demanding tone. I just scoff at my sisters and adjust my hold on the phone so the twins can see both of us. "Hey Y/N!" They say in unison, "How was your first day? We would have called you but we didn't know if you were still working and Lizzie always answers our calls unless she is in an interview." My sisters say, now completely uninterested in me and enchanted by my girlfriend, I just roll my eyes and shake my head a little in response. "It was amazing, oh my gosh! The kids are amazing and the parents, thankfully, were all really nice. The other teachers I work with have been so helpful as well which has been nice because I was so nervous. Lizzie basically forced me out of the car this morning" She tells the eager duo on the phone. "That's amazing! We are so happy for you!" Katie says as she rests her chin on Ash's shoulder. Me being the jealous girlfriend I am, scoffs under my breath and speak quietly. "Yeah, some of them are a little too friendly," I say, rolling my eyes for what feels like the hundredth time since school had finished. "I'm sorry, what was that Liz?" Ashley questions, curse her good hearing. I look at my girlfriend who just shrugs a little before letting out a small groan. "One of the teachers has a little issue where he thinks it's okay to flirt and try to make a move on my girlfriend. I mumble out, still salty about the situation. "Wait, wait, wait. There is a teacher that keeps trying to make a move on you? MK asks Y/N, the anger behind her eyes now obvious. "It's nothing, honestly he is just polite and he knows that Lizzie and I are a couple. He just... he won't take no for an answer." She says, sighing in defeat. "Right, well, he had better back off because when Kate and I get there next week, he will get to meet us," Ashley says, her protective side now also showing. "Wait, you're coming to LA?" I ask them, my voice laced with surprise. It's not that I don't want to see them, I love seeing them, they just never come to LA this close together. "Yeah, we have a couple of meetings and we thought we would come to visit instead of video calling in," MK says, her attention now back on me. "That would be amazing. I need some quality sister times, I have some things coming up and I need an outfit and need to get you guys' opinion on something." I reply, giving the twins a look not to press the 'opinion' part at the moment. "Oh amazing, we will see you there. We are flying over on Sunday and will be coming home the Monday of the following week." Ashley says, a small smile now on her face as well, but knowing both of the twins as well as I do, I see the questions brewing behind their eyes. "Cool, see you then, anyway. We need to go so we can get started on fixing dinner... okay... bye... love you..." I rush out before ending the call and letting out a sigh.
