It's been two years since the love of your life was stripped away from, you manage to move on or so you think. Half of you moved on while the other half is still stuck, wondering to be frank.

You haven't seen, heard, or even spoke to Cate within the span of the two years. To subside you from your loss and to make you forget about the pass you started dating again.
You met a man name Bowie, you actually enjoyed his company and his love, but, it wasn't the same as no one's love could compare to hers.

"Babe I brought you lunch" He spoke coming into your trailer, then smooching you.—"Thanks Bow, is it the usual?" Receiving the bag and plopping on the couch diving into the bag.

"You know it" Sitting next to you.— "I love you" You remarked. Then biting into your sub.
You spent the last fifteen minutes with your boyfriend before heading back to set, once shooting day was over you started your journey home.

"Babe I'm home" you started, placing your keys into the key bowl on the console table before heading towards the kitchen, it revealing a feast before you. "Wow babe, this is amazing!" You exclaimed.

Bowie flashed you smile and gestured to the dining table, which had candles lit, and wine glasses filled. He pulled out your chair and you sat. He went to a seat across from you and sat down as well.

"So what's the special occasion for all of this?" You questioned a smile on your face.— "Nothing just wanted to do something nice for you" He stated.

Hours into the dinner and multiple songs from your record player the laughs and giggles stopped. "Y/n?" He started, then standing from his seat, his gaze stuck on you which your eyes followed. He walked towards you and grabbed your hand.
Proceeding to get on one knee, your heart started to race.

"Y/m/l/n you have made me the happiest man on this world. You're smart, talented, special and most of all beautiful. And will you do the honors of becoming my wife" He announced pulling out a box and revealing a diamond ring.

Your heart stated to race even more than it was before, everything went silent and your vision went blurry.
The silent was so loud, you could hear a pin drop, until you spoke.
"Bowie..." you started, he nodded. "You know that I love you right" That being a half lie and half true, but he couldn't know that.

"Yes?" He sounded concerned and confused.—" But. I'm not ready, I'm sorry just... give me more time okay?" It felt like you just broke the most innocent man's heart. He stood up.

"It's okay, I uh... I understand" He spoke, voice strained. You stood up, walking forward just a bit, pulling him into a hug. One he accepted " I love you, I really really love you" Looking him into the eyes.

The next day:

After shooting day was over, your were driving on the road heading towards Noah's house.
From the studio his apartment was a good thirty minutes away, good thing there was a liquor store on the way. Stopping you bought a bottle of bourbon, "Have a nice day ma'am" Giving you your now wrapped bottle of alcohol.

Then proceeding onto the familiar route to Noah's apartment, you parked in the underground parking lot and took the lift up.
Till it stopped at the penthouse level, you liked going to Noah's place. He had the best view overseeing the beautiful city of London.
        Knocking on the door, it opening almost immediately "Heyyy!" You cheered rising up the bourbon bottle.—"Y/n, come in! I'll grab the glasses" He complying with your intentions. You giggled walking in, Noah closing the door then going to the kitchen.

It was something about Noah and his loft, it brought you closer, or something like that Noah joined you on the couch. "Sooo" He starts.—"What brings you here?!"pouring the liquid into a glass handing it to you, taking a sip before speaking, then placing it on the coffee stand.

"I have something huge to tell you" Announcing your news.— "Mm, spill I'm all ears" Noah chimed.

"Well you know Bowie right?" You start, waiting for a sign of Noah's to tell you to continue which you received. "He proposed to me last night!" You cheered.

"OH MY GOD!! Y/n CONGRATULATIONS!" Noah screamed excitedly, that was until he noticed the expression plastered on your face.

"Y/n? You said yes right" He pushed. Silence went by and he understood, placing his glass on the table he pulled you into an embrace. "Oh baby, I'm so sorry" rubbing your back and speaking calmly.

Bursting into tears " I love him Noah, but... I just can't marry him Noah. I can't" You cried.—"It's okay y/n you're not ready and that's fine marriage is a big milestone" Noah spoke.

You shook your head against his shoulder "No Noah... you don't understand.
I. Can't. Marry. Him" You spoke word by word, Noah pulled back and locked his gaze on you.

"Is it her?" Questioning. You said nothing but only nodded in response tears flowing from your eyes. Falling onto Noah's lounge bench.
"Baby, it's been two years. Let go hun" He tried to advise. Shaking your head again "I've tried Noah. I've tried. It's ju- It's so hard Noah! I miss her" Sobbing he pulled you into another embrace.

What seemed like hours you said your goodbyes to Noah and left, making your way back home. You entered your front door placing items down, you warmed up leftovers then took a steaming hot shower lathering up. Brushing your teeth and doing your skin care, I mean how else did you get this good looking.
You put on your sleepers than joined your boyfriend in bed, lifting the sheets and slithering in you rubbed his arms and kissed his cheek. "Goodnight babe" Delivering your statement calmly and soft, your voice smooth like silk.

You got a groan in response since he was asleep, then lied down and let sleep consume you.
