Marliza - And they were romates!

Chapter 19

Eliza POV

The word about Maria and I had quickly gotten around. When the weekend rolled around everyone on campus seemed to know. I didn't care that people knew anymore. I felt incredibly lucky to have Maria as my girlfriend. She was a little more nervous about it.

When Maria wasn't around other students would come up to me. They didn't understand how I could even forgive her in the first place and least of all start dating her. Some of them even had the audacity to call her a slut or whore in my presence.

That made me remember a promise I had made to her. A promise that I would help everyone stop treating her like they were. They didn't know what she had been through.

I couldn't help her alone. I would need assistance. My sisters would probably help me but I still had someone else in mind who might be able to help. I could only hope he was willing to help even though my plan might damage Hamilton's reputation a bit more.

I was gonna start my plan this weekend. Or at least I thought I would.

I was gonna start by telling Maria about my plan this saturday. If she agreed we could meet up with the one who would hopefully help.

Saturday I woke around 9 am. Maria wasn't in the kitchen living room area or the bathroom. That meant she was probably still asleep.

I could wait till she woke and then tell her about my plan but.... I couldn't wait.

I ran to her room flinging the door up. She was still in bed, but sitting up and with a blanket wrapped around her. I was even over her head like a cloak. She was holding it very tightly around herself.

I slowly walked over to her bed nervously calling her name. Was she okay?

She gave me a small groan in response. Now she had me worried. I sat down beside her and wrapped my arms around her blanket covered body.

"Are you okay?" I quietly asked.

"I don't know. I just got really bad cramps" she mumbled out from under the blanket. Poor Maria, I personally know how that feels. Change of plans. Today I was gonna take care of my precious girlfriend. God I loved thinking about her as my girlfriend.

"Nurh, I'm sorry. How about we go into the living room. Then I can make breakfast while you find something to watch. After eating we can watch tv and cuddle. I might even have some chocolate in one of the kitchen cabinets. How does that sound?".

"I would love that".

I gave her a hug and then we went into the kitchen living room. I made sure she was comfortable on the couch. After covering with pillows and blankets I planted a kiss on her forehead before making breakfast.

She was snuggling as close as possible to me while we watched the show she had chosen. Bridgerton was a great series. I wish we could have those kinds of pretty dresses and go to balls like they did in the 1800s.

I was also rubbing her back and feeding her chocolate occasionally. She was so cute lying there in my lap half asleep.

"Mari baby" She made a noise signaling she was listening. "I kinda got a plan for how we can make everyone know that the thing between Alex and you wasn't your fault so they will treat you better".

"How?" she asked queries.

"We will do like Alex. We can make our own article, but from your perspective. We could call it 'The True Reynolds Pamphlet' or 'The Hamilton Pamphlet'. We just need a little help from someone. I think he will help us if we tell him what really happened".

"Oh yeah, who?".

"Aaron. Aaron Burr".

"Hamilton's boyfriend" she sounded skeptical.

"Yeah. Even though he is with Alex I still think he will help us. He believes in the truth".

"Fine. If you think he can help me then feel free to ask".

"I'll arrange to meet him tomorrow or something. If you feel better then you can come with me. It would make sense for you to be there since it's your story".

"Thank you for trying to do this for me. I love you".

"I love you too" I whispered in her ear.
