End Game

Car's outside

Lizzie's POV.

"Lizzie, are you okay? It's like you've seen a ghost" I heard Valentina's voice speak to me. I quickly wiped away my tears.
"Y-yeah...i'm...I'm fine" I said trying to dream calmly.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, don't worry."
"Okay girls, let's start making lunch" Fran says walking into the place.

We walked to the kitchen, Fran and I took care of the cooking while Valen well she just made conversation to entertain us and played good music for us.

She told us that she has been very stressed lately because of the launching of the new collection for Versace and the auditions for different movies, she said she would like to get away for a few days and relax and I totally understand her because I also want to do the same.

I could barely concentrate on the rest of the conversation because my mind was going to what Boyd said, Shawn is going to propose in a few weeks and I don't know what to do to stop that from happening, my mind is blank and it frustrates me.

She is all I want, she is the love of my life and I know I screwed up, but maybe there is a way to get her back, the thing is Boyd, I don't want to hurt him, he is a good man even if he is not what I want and expect. I should have never said yes to him when I really am in love with her to the bone, my soul screams her name.

When the food was ready we sat the three of us at the table and started to eat lunch, Valen looked happy to be with Fran, she had this beautiful smile.

How to lose the girl, here's the list, tell her you love her and then commit to marrying your boyfriend. Fuck I'm so stupid. I guess I got lost in my thoughts because Fran pulled me out of them.

"Lizzie darling, is everything okay?" She said worriedly.
I turned to look at Valen who was already looking at me worried.
"Yes, everything is fine, I've just been a little tired...I didn't get much sleep last night" I said with a half smile.
"Are you sure it's just because of that?" Valentina says staring at me trying to read some expression on my face.
"Yes, it's just that."

I tried to restrain myself the whole time I was with the two of them from going off into my thought world where I was just suffering in agony knowing what was coming for me in a few weeks.

Thank goodness I am a good actress and I managed to not let either of them notice what was really going on. We played some board games, it was fun, hearing Valen's laughter when she saw my frustrated face for losing made me happy, she would tease me by making jokes when she won or she would do a victory dance around me. She was happy to have me there with Fran and I could tell.

It started to get dark so Valen decided to drive me home, we said goodbye to Fran and got in her car.

She started driving slow, it's weird because she usually never drives like that. It was like she was thinking about something.

"Okay tell me what's wrong?" She says breaking the silence.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Lizzie I know you and I know something is bothering you, you are a good actress but I know you better, tell me what's wrong?"
"Everything is fine, really Valen, don't worry."
"I don't believe you" she says stopping the car on the road.
I take a deep breath and sigh, I can't tell her the truth.
"I'm just stressed and tired, that's all" I say giving her a half smile.
"Okay I have an idea" she says turning her whole body towards me.
"What is it?"
"We're both stressed aren't we?" She asks.
"Mhm" I said to get her to continue.
"So I was thinking about us running away...just for a couple of days".
I laughed thinking it was a joke what she was telling me.
"You're crazy" I said.
"Lizzie I'm serious, do you trust me?"
"With all my life"
"Then let's run away, let's not tell anyone, just you and me."
"And where will we go?" I said still in disbelief.
"Let's go to Tulum... what do you say?"
I wanted to go to Tulum for a while.
"Okay, let's go... but when?"
"Tonight, let's go already to the airport, I'll have the plane ready for us.
"What about our clothes?" I asked.
"I'll buy everything we need there, just say yes."
I looked into those beautiful eyes of hers, I could swear they shone brighter than the stars. I couldn't say no to her.
"Okay, let's go."

She took my hand and started driving to the airport, on the way she called her assistant to get her plane ready and the rest of the way we both wore the biggest smiles in the world.

I can't believe what is happening, we are running away from everything and everyone, just the two of us.

We got to the airport and got on the plane, she and I decided to tell Shawn and Boyd that we would be on a business trip for my family's company and we would be back a few days before the awards.

The plane took off and I felt thousands of butterflies fly in my stomach, I love the spontaneity of her, her ways of making me happy, the way she looks at me. I know these last few months have been a roller coaster of emotions with her. But I guess it's so intense what we feel for each other that it's impossible to just walk away from each other.

We landed in Tulum and arrived at a house she bought some time ago according to what she told me on the way here.

The house is huge and luxurious, it has a private beach and the most important thing is that it is impossible for the paparazzi to see us.

"Do you want something to drink?" She asks walking towards the kitchen and I follow her.
"Do you have watermelon juice?" I asked.
"I should have it's one of my favorite juices so the chef must have made it."
"Great! I'll have that then"

She opened from the fridge door and pulled out the juice for both of us to drink.

"You are amazing" I said looking at her through the glass of juice.
"And why is that?"
"Because you make me feel all these things that I can only feel with you" I said blushing, she made her way over to me.
"My angel, I wanted us to come here for you to remember the beautiful thing we have between us, the love we have for each other...I wanted us to remember how it feels when we are just the two of us with nothing to torment us."
"You are the love of my life, you know that right?" I said taking her face in my hands.
"Sometimes I forget and I need you to remind me" she says blushing.
"I love you Valen, you are my everything".
"I love you Lizzie, you are my angel." She said and kissed me sweetly
