Took you long enough

"This was a masterpiece Y/n!" Nischelle calls out as she approaches Scarlett and I after our kind of reuniting hug. I smile big.

"Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity tonight!" I beam and the crowd of course erupts cheering more.

Scarlett, who stands next to me with her arm around my waist, smiles bright.

"How does this new attention feel to you Scarlett? A song only for you. A great song even!" Nischelle asks as the masses slowly come down and it's at least quiet enough to continue the interview.

Scarlett presses her hands together and squirms, while her big green eyes meet mine. "I love it!" She squeals and kisses my cheek.

"I didn't know I always wanted someone to write their songs about me, until Y/n/n did." She adds and makes me remember something I might as well add here.

"And I never knew I needed this one woman to inspire my music this much," I pause as the crowd cheers, "well, until Scar did." I add, mocking the words that Scarlett just used and we all share a fit of laughter.

"This whole love you guys are sharing is awfully heart-melting!" Nischelle says cheerfully and we chuckle amusedely. "Thank you for sharing this masterpiece of yours with us, Y/n and thank you two lovebirds for sharing some of your love with us tonight!"

"Thank you for having us, Nischelle." I say cheerfully and give her some applause too.

"Yes, we had a fantastic night with you tonight!" Scarlett agrees and we soon find our way down the stage, hands intertwined as the crowd cheers and applauds heavily.

Once Scarlett and I are off the stage I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding since what feels like forever and Scarlett giggles at this.

"You did amazing tonight Y/n/n, I mean it." She says softly and cups my face, her thumb gently caressing along my cheek as her eyes sparkle.

I feel warm and safe, but also like there is still something on my chest. "You're the woman I never knew I needed, Scar." I admit quietly.

Scarlett never breaks the intense eye contact and lets me wrap my arms around her waist to pull her closer.

"It took you long enough, dear." She says with a giggle and smiles lovingly at me. I must've forgotten to breathe, because just then Scarlett brushes my nose gently with hers.

I start to breath again, but still my body feels on fire and at the same time like drowning. Drowning in something I've never felt. Our almost touching lips make me want this woman so badly and so for real.

"There you are! You were amazing tonight." We hear Nischelle calling from behind us and pull back slowly. Even when she's still next to me, I miss how close I just was to Scarlett.

"Thank you, again. You did a great job out there too!" I speak first and smile happily.

"You made it pretty easy for me, I really appreciate talkative guests." The host tells honestly and giggles.

"Those are the easiest to get into conversation with, I agree." Scarlett says with a soft chuckle.

"You're one to tell, having someone like Y/n as a guest in one of your testing sessions for the Outset." Nischelle remembers and laughs. "This was something I definitely need another part of!" She adds, while looking in between Scarlett and I. We both also exchange a look.

"I would love to have my smurf joining again." Scarlett tells with a wink at me and I roll my eyes playfully, but also chuckle.

"It was only a logical thought to get all blue when having the blue clay mask." I defend jokingly and we all share a good laughter.

"I guess you're both having a point there." Nischelle says and chuckles. "I have to get ready for the next guest soon, but none will be like you guys. I wish you the very best for the future and make sure to call me first, when you need another interview!" She adds and smiles very happily at us. Scarlett and I nod.

"We will keep that in mind. Thank you for tonight." Scarlett tells with a smile and we then bid our goodbyes, before her and I walk along the halls.

We make our way to the car and get driven back home. There's not much conversation in between us, but at least the silence in the car isn't as uncertain as it was before the interview. It's rather calm and relaxed.

Once our driver stops in front of Scarlett's mansion, we both get out of the car and make our way inside. Scarlett is quick, removing her heels and I can't help but chuckle softly.

"Have I told you that you have been doing amazing tonight as well?" I ask casually and Scarlett turns around to face me, shaking her head with a soft smile.

"You were amazing tonight, sweetheart." I tell her sincerely and her smile widens.

"Thank you." Scarlett says softly and comes closer to me. Her steps are slow and seemingly uncertain, at which I just try and give her some reassuring nod.

"Are we going to continue where we fell off or will we talk about things?" I ask cautiously.

Scarlett looks into my eyes, finding nothing but care and sincerity. The sincerity I'm ready to give to her. I take a step towards Scarlett.

"I want to talk to you. If not tonight, then maybe tomorrow. I'll wait, just like you have been waiting on me to be in this as wholly as you already were and are. Please lets talk."

After letting my words sink in, Scarlett nods her head slowly, the smile on her lips only getting more genuine with every word I say.

"I would like to talk about things too, Y/n/n. I'm all in and I hope for you to join me." She says softly and refers also to my lyrics, which makes my heart swell. How could I be so miserable and risk such a precious thing?

This time I will make it right. Just how?
