End Game

Delicate

Delicate- Taylor Swift.

Lizzie's POV.

Right now I'm at a lunch with my sisters and baby Otto at MK's favorite restaurant, I know I promised Valen to go to her house early last night, but when I got home the night before I thought it through and I think she needs more space than just a couple of hours before bedtime, so I decided to have her spend some time alone while I was with my sisters and nephew.

I am happy to be able to be with the twins and Otto, the little one is not so little anymore, he is even starting to talk which is very exciting.

"So how is she doing?" Ash asks.
"She is doing better, she has already started eating and wanting to leave her house for short periods of time so she is getting there" I said explaining the situation Valen is in.
"It's good to hear that Valen is getting better, I can't imagine how hard this has all been for her" Mk says with a sad smile.
"Yes, she has had a roller coaster of emotions, one day she seems fine and moments later her mood changes" I said sighing.
"Well you have to be patient, this is a process plus she is in her grief so that makes it more complicated, so you have to take a deep breath and be there for her" Mk reasons.
"Yeah, I know."
"What about you? How are you?" Ash asks.
"Well, I feel better knowing that Valen forgives me for everything stupid I've done, but sometimes I get frustrated because I want her to feel good and for things to be the way they used to be" I said looking down at my food.
"Oh lizard things will never be the way they were before, but it's up to you whether to make that a good thing or a bad thing" Ash says.
"If that's true, I think that's good for you guys, so you can start fresh again" MK adds.
"You know? I'm terrified, I don't want to make the same mistakes I made before, I want to finally be with her and create a life together, I'm just so tired of only bad things happening to us, I just want to be happy with her" I said letting a few tears fall.
"You guys are going to make it together, I know it. You two are meant to be together" Ash says taking my hand and squeezing it lightly.

I just nod letting a few tears run down my cheeks.

Valentina's POV.

It's exactly two thirty in the afternoon and Lizzie isn't here, I want her here with me, I want her here with me all the time, her not being here makes me have a lot of things running through my mind right now.

Maybe something bad happened to her and she couldn't come? Maybe she got tired of me and my sudden mood swings? Maybe she realized what a mess I am and preferred to stay away? Maybe on her way home she had an accident? Maybe she got hurt on the road? FUCK!

I picked up my phone and decided to call her, I started to move my leg up and down because of the stress of her not answering her phone, I called again and on the third ring she answered.

"Hey" she says sniffing it's obvious that she was crying.
"hey, are you okay? Where are you?" I said quickly worried.
"Yeah, I'm fine" is all she says.
"Where are you? I've been waiting for you all morning" I said with a slightly annoyed tone.
"Well you said you wanted space so I thought you better have the day to yourself" she said softly.
"What? No. I don't want the day to myself, I want you here with me" I said and there was silence between the two of us for a few seconds.
"Can you come? Please?" I said softly.
"I have to finish what I'm doing now and then I'll come" she says.
"Okay" I whispered.
"Okay."

Fuck I wish I never asked her for space, I mean I feel like I needed it but now things feel weird.

I'm not going to lie I feel upset that she didn't come here and preferred to be somewhere else doing who knows what with who knows who, ugh.

I don't know why I feel this way, if clearly it was me who told her I wanted to be her friend, maybe that's why she didn't run over here this morning, maybe I'm not her priority anymore and she just wants to be my friend too, but that bothers me even more because I want her to be more than my friend, how can you be friends with someone you love that much? How can you be friends with someone who has hurt you so much but who you love so much that you are willing to forgive her for everything bad she has done to you? It just doesn't make sense for her to be just my friend.

It is now four o'clock in the afternoon and my doorbell rang causing me to quickly get up from the couch and rush to the door. When I opened it there she was, she gave me a little smile and wrinkled her nose in the sweetest way I have ever seen.

"Hi" she says sweetly.
"Hi."

We stood there looking into each other's eyes, her eyes can read through my soul, I've never seen a green like that, I couldn't hold it in anymore and hugged her putting my arms around her neck, she quickly put her hands on my hips letting out a sigh.

"I missed you too much" I whispered in her ear.
"I wasn't here for a couple of hours" she said with a giggle.
"It doesn't matter, I missed you anyway" I said still buried in her neck.
"I missed you too, lovely...you smell so good".
I moved a little to look at her face "I always smell good" I said with a giggle.

We walked into my house, I had my hand intertwined with hers as we walked to my backyard.

"Where were you?" I asked her.
"I was having lunch with the twins and Otto."
"Oh I haven't seen Otto in a long time" I said with a sad smile.
"We can go visit him this week if you feel ready" she said sweetly.

We got to my backyard and laid down on my beds to sunbathe, we laid down on the same bed because I didn't want to get away from her for a single second.

"Did you eat today?" She asked me as I had my head resting on her chest and one hand hugging her waist.
"No" I whispered closing my eyes expecting her to scold me like everyone does when I say I haven't eaten.
"Okay let me fix you something to eat" she says trying to stand up but I don't let her.
"No. Stay here with me" I said pouting.
"Okay, then let me order a takeout" she says stroking my hair.
"Fine"
"What are you in the mood for?"
"Pizza" I said looking up to see her.
"Okay" she said leaving a kiss on my forehead.

She was ordering the pizza on her phone while I was looking at her, how can she be such a beautiful human being? Her sweet smile, her soft skin, her emerald green eyes, her shiny hair, everything about her is perfect, how can that be possible, it's not Fair to my heart.

"I can feel you watch me" she says with a giggle.
"I'm sorry" I said blushing.
"Don't apologize, I like you watching me" she said putting her phone down and looking into my eyes.
"You are beautiful" I said feeling my cheeks blush.
"You are beautiful too" she says putting a hand on my cheek caressing it.
"Do you ever think about me? About us?" I asked her.
"All the time...is it cool that I said that?"
"Yes" I whispered to her.

Our faces slowly coming together, I could slowly feel her breath on me, I closed my eyes to appreciate the moment more, the smell of her invading my nose, her sweet smell. Our lips about to touch and my heart beating so fast I felt like it was going to burst out of me. When the sound of the doorbell separated us.
