End Game

One life

Lizzie's POV.

The last two weeks I have been in my bubble of happiness with Valen, just living life, living love.

Everything with her gives me these tickles in my stomach and heart, she makes everything perfect for me to feel more for her, it's crazy how she makes me forget about everything and just think about her 24/7. She is just that girl.

The last few days she has been dedicated to rewarding me for everything she did in the past. I know she doesn't tell me but I know she is doing it, I don't want Valen to think I haven't forgiven her because I already have.

I used to think I hated her but then I realized it wasn't hate it was pain and a pain I had never felt before, a pain in which I would rather die than feel anything. Then I hated myself for still loving her and not being able to stop. Some time later I gave up hating myself for feeling and let my heart feel even knowing that she would never come back. But I think fate wanted to see us together one more time because now we are here, sleeping in the same bed and living our love.

I know this little bubble we're in won't last long, soon I'll have to go back to LA to have some pictures taken to promote a brand I'll be working for, which means I'll have to see Boyd and talk to him.

I don't want to leave, I want to stay here with her but I can't put this off, she will have a couple more weeks before she goes back to LA. The only thing that excites me is knowing that she will be back in LA and we can see each other whenever we want.

Now Boyd, I have texted him here and there but I don't answer his calls because most of the time I am with Valen and I don't want to inconvenience her. In the messages he writes me he tells me that he understands that I am here taking care of my "best friend" and that he is at home waiting for me.

I feel bad for what I am doing to him but I have to understand how I feel about both of them before I make any decisions.

The buzzing of my phone made me quickly snap out of my thought cloud.

S- So you already have another best friend, you bitch.
L- Hey best friend, Scar you know why I said that.
S- I seriously don't understand what you're doing over there, after all she's put you through.
L- I know you're mad at her but you and I both know you love her.
S- You're right but I'm still upset, by the way where is she?
L- She's at the hospital visiting Fran.
S- How is she doing?
L- Much better, in a few weeks she will be released from the hospital.
S- That's good to hear.
L- Yes, I am so excited for them to be back in LA, I can't wait to spend all my days with them.
S- oh Lizzie I think you are skipping something important.
L- what?
S- Your boyfriend
L- Oh
S- Lizzie, what happened with Valen over there?
L- Well, Valen and I ... mm
S- Valen and you what ?
L- We kissed, in fact I kissed her.
S- oh god, you just kissed?
L- we made love, more than once and we kept kissing and doing it.
S- oh god Lizzie, I hope you know what you're doing because Boyd is waiting for you here.
L- I know he's waiting for me but I can't help it I'm so happy here with her.
S- I'm glad you're happy honey, she knows you'll be back in LA in a few days?
L- Nope, I plan to tell her today.
S- Honey can I tell you something?
L- of course
S- I think you already know the answer to who you want to be with, but you're afraid to accept it.
L- Why would I be afraid to accept it?
S- I don't know, maybe because of the consequences or because you're afraid to give your heart away and have it broken again.
L- Maybe you're right.
S- I know I am.
L- Do you think I should talk to Boyd as soon as I get there?
S- I think that would be the smart and good way to do it.
L- okay. What about you?
S- not much, I miss you, I've been working on my skin care line.
L- and how's that working out for you?
S- really well, people seem to like it a lot, it's been a big hit.
L- I'm glad to hear that dude.
S- Thank you, what are you doing now?
L- Well I was thinking of making lunch for Valen and I, I know how much she likes it when I cook for her so I think I'll get on that. What about you?
S- just sitting here listening to you.
L- Do you want to join me to make lunch?
S- Sure, switch the call to FaceTime.
L- there's that cute face of yours.
S- What are you going to make for lunch?
L- I was thinking of making pasta, it's one of her favorite foods.
S- That sounds good.
L- how are things going with Colin?
S- actually pretty good, I think I'm really in love with him.
L- aww my best friend is in love.
S- shut up.
L- no but out of joke, I'm happy for you, Colin is a good guy.

Scarlett kept me company while I made lunch, I love talking to her, she helps me clear my head a little. I heard the front door open and my tummy did a jump knowing who had arrived.

She hugged me from behind giving me a kiss on my shoulder.

"I love coming home and finding you here" she whispered in my ear making me goosebumps.
"I missed you" I said turning to look at her.
"I missed you more" she says kissing my lips softly making me melt in her arms. Our smiles broke our kiss but neither of us seemed to care.
"I made us lunch" I said.
"It smells delicious, thank you my life" she said leaving a kiss on my forehead.

I served our food and set it on the table to start eating. Oh god I love how domestic this feels. Making food for my love and waiting for her to come home with a smile on her face when she sees me. This is what happiness means to me.

"what are you thinking?" She says looking at me with her bright eyes.
"About you" I said blushing.
"May I know what you think about?"
"Nope, only I can know" I replied teasing her, only to laugh for a while.
"Come on tell me, is it a dirty thought?" she says wiggling her eyebrows with a giggle making me laugh.
"Maybe yes, maybe no" I said laughing and she huffs.
"I really want to know."
"I was just thinking about how beautiful you are honey" she blushed "are you happy now?"
"Very happy"
"Great, now eat your food" I said and she stuck her tongue out at me playfully.

We started eating in complete silence, I was thinking about how to tell her that I would have to leave in a couple of days.

"What's wrong?" She asks confused.
"Why do you say that?"
"You're frowning and tensing your jaw" she calls me out.
I sigh and decide to say it now "I have to go back to LA in a couple of days...I know I told you I would stay here with you until you get back to LA but work calls".
I watched as her expression changed to sadness.
"It's okay baby...it will just be a few more weeks that I will be here and I will come back to you" she says putting the pasta in her mouth.
"I'm going to miss you so much" I said with a pout which she kisses it away from my face.
"I'm going to miss you terribly too, but the time will pass quickly, I know that"

We started eating again and silence filled the room again, I know she is thinking about something and it is haunting her, that's when she breaks the silence.

"What will happen to us when you return to LA?"
"Well I really don't know, I have to talk to Boyd, but I really want to stay that way with you."

I can see the confusion on her face but she doesn't say anything else. I know she doesn't like the idea of me going back to LA without her and going to see Boyd. I want to put her mind at ease but I don't know how to do it, I know her and I know no words will do it.

"You know I love you, right?" She says out of the blue.
"I love you too" I say and watch as her shoulders don't tense up anymore.

I really hope the weeks we are apart go by fast because I don't want to be away from her for a second. I waited three years and I don't want to wait anymore.
