End Game

Better

Lizzie's POV.

"You scared us horrible little shit" koko says walking into the room making the love of my life laugh.
"Don't you ever do that again" Kris said scolding her.
"I won't do it again, I'm sorry."
"How do you feel Valen?" kim asked her.
"Better, where are the kids?"
"They stayed with the nannies" kylie informs her.
"How long are you guys staying?" Valentina asked.
"We'll all stay three days, is that okay?" kenny says.
"Yes, that's perfect."

Valen and Kris were talking alone for an hour, I was with her sisters, it was nice to know that they would all put whatever they were doing aside to go check on Valen and make sure she was okay.

The next three days I was visiting Valen and Fran at the hospital, I didn't spend as much time with Valentina as I wanted to because I knew that at this time her family wanted to be with her, so I spent the rest of the time with Fran.

I got to know more about the woman, she genuinely cares about her, I can see why Valen also considers her as another mother. She told me that these years were very difficult for Valentina, being away from her family and me made her stop enjoying many things she used to do.

She said she was happy that Valentina and I were back in touch and that she hoped that this time things would work out in our friendship. She doesn't know what happened a few days ago between valen and I and I don't want to be the one to tell her.

Today Valen gets out of the hospital and I'm going to go pick her up, her family has already left the country so I'll be taking care of her which I'm excited about because I'll be able to spend more time with her, I'm also nervous because I don't know what will happen between us after the kiss we had a couple of days ago.

I walked into her room and she was there waiting for me, she gave me a soft smile.

"Hello there" I said.
"Hello there" she says back.
"Are you ready to go home?"
"Oh I'm so ready"

We made our way to her car but when she was about to get in she hesitated, I could see her fear in her eyes.

"Hey baby it's ok, I'm right here with you" I said softly.
"I'm scared, I don't want to die"
"You're not going to, love I'll take care of you. I promise" I can't believe what I just said, I guess she is too scared to pay attention to what I said, she just nodded and got in the car nervously.

I put on her favorite songs trying to relax her a little, I started driving slow and she closed her eyes quickly.

"I can keep listening to the crash all the time" she whispered.
"I know you're scared but believe me when I tell you I'm going to take care of you, I won't let anything hurt you again."
"I trust you" she says opening her eyes.

I drove to her house, we talked little because she was concentrating on the road.
We walked into her house and she walked into her living room, we sat on her couch and I was looking at her but she wasn't looking at me, she was looking at her thighs, she looked embarrassed.

"Are you hungry?" I asked her.
"Nope, you?"
"Nope."
"I think we should talk about what happened between us" she says. Oh so that's what's got her like that.
"Yeah I think so too" I said.
"I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have kissed you it was a mistake. I respect you and I know you are in a relationship, I promise never to do it again."
Shit, I do want it to happen again. I actually didn't think this conversation would go like this, I thought she wanted this as much as I did.
"You didn't like the kiss?" I asked.
"What? no no no, I did like it, but I don't want to cause you problems, besides you told me you want me to be your friend and have me in your life I don't want to ruin that because I want you in my life too."
"Okay" I said sad and disappointed.
"I understand if you don't want to stay and take care of me, maybe you feel uncomfortable around me" oh god she thinks I didn't want to kiss her when I was the one who kissed her in the first place.
"What? No. I want to stay here and take care of you" I let her know.
"Thank you, I really appreciate everything you do for me" she says a little sleepily.
"Oh someone is sleepy...come let me take you to your room."

We walked to her room, I laid her down on her bed and lay down next to her, she fell into a deep sleep while I read some Mails that had come to me while I was here.

I noticed that she was sweating and moving a lot on the bed, her breathing was agitated and some tears were coming out of her eyes. She jumped up and opened her eyes in terror.

"Hey are you okay?"
"Shit."
"Don't worry, it was just a bad dream" I assured her.
"That felt so real" She said dropping a few last tears.
"I know honey, it's part of the trauma".
"I don't like it" She says sweetly.
"Come here, let me hold you"

She laid down burying her face in my neck, I could feel her breaths and I could feel her body relax into me.

"I like being like this with you" she whispers.
"I like it too"

She lifted her head to look into my eyes and that's when I knew it was the perfect time to let her know that I do want to kiss her again. I leaned my head down and kissed her lips again. I don't care about anything else right now but her, her kisses, her caresses, everything about her.

She reciprocated my kiss slowly taking the time to savor it and put her heart into it. I could feel the love with which she kissed me.

She pulled away from me and looked into my eyes, she had this look as her eyes lit up making me gasp.

"You kissed me" she whispers just for the two of us.
"I did" I whisper back
"Why?"
"Because I've waited too long to be able to touch your lips again and I don't want to anymore."
"What about...?" I interrupt her.
"No what about, I just want to be here with you."
"I want that too"
"Perfect then" I said causing a giggle to escape her lips.

I closed my eyes feeling my heart full of joy, I finally have her in my arms again.

"Lizzie?"
"Yes love?"
"Are you a dream?"
"Nope, why do you ask that?"
"Because I've been dreaming so much this moment I don't know if it's real or I'm hallucinating from the meds."
I laughed at how tender she sounded "this is real, I can't believe it is either".
"I missed you too much, like too much"
"Me too"

I could feel her run her fingers over my face delicately, I love when she is so affectionate. She started giving little kisses on my cheek. Okay this is officially the best feeling in the world.
