Heyy and welcome to the new chapter. The tension is rising...
_____________
Lizzie's POV
When I arrived, I could already hear the band from outside.
After being let in, I make my way to the VIP tent. I know Hailee and Maya will be there too.
"Omg, hey" says Maya when she sees me.
They both greet me but don't ask why I'm here, which I'm very glad about. Maya will know what happened because I didn't fly back with them.

"Okay, our concert is actually over now, but we have a little surprise for you" says y/n.
Oh man, I missed her voice.
I can see that Luke has spotted me and gestures to y/n to look at me.
When she sees me, she freezes for a moment.
Is that a good sign?
"We've written a new song that we want to play for you now. You can hear it on every platform from now on" she says without breaking eye contact with me.
"I wrote the song about a woman who completely changed my views on love and I'm very grateful to her for that, it's for you" she says and only then does she break eye contact and start playing the guitar.

(Now listen to "I hate the way" by Sofia Carson and enjoy the moment)

"I hate the way you say my name
I hate your picture-perfect lips on mine
If I could, I'd cut the breaks
I hate that I can't help but stay all night
When you look at me, I'll have to turn my face
If I look too long, I'll never look away
Babe, I wasn't praying for a saving grace
Unfold your fingers, let's go back to nothing
And I hate the way I say words that I laughed at before
And I hate the way my thoughts aren't mine, now they're yours
Look at what you've created, something borderline sacred
I call it overrated, go on and call me jaded
'Cause I hate the way I say words that I laughed at before
You think you're cool when you pretend
That I'm not always in your head (don't lie)
Your favourite game is self-defense
I dare you to give it a rest sometimes
When you look at me, I'll have to turn my face
If I look too long, I'll never look away
Babe, I wasn't praying' for a saving grace
Unfold your fingers, let's go back to nothing
And I hate the way I say words that I laughed at before
And I hate the way my heart isn't mine, now it's yours
Look at what you've created, something borderline sacred
I call it overrated, go on and call me jaded
'Cause I hate the way my heart isn't mine, now it's yours
And I hate the way I say words that I laughed at before
And I hate the way my thoughts aren't mine, now they're yours
Look at what you've created, something borderline sacred
I call it overrated, go on and call me jaded
'Cause I hate the way my heart isn't mine, now it's yours"

I cried while she was singing the song and I could hardly wait to go to her now.
As soon as they left the stage, I made my way backstage and looked for her.
When I saw her and she saw me, I had a tingling feeling in my stomach. She comes to me, but stops in front of me.

"I'm sorry" she just says "I lied to you, or rather to myself. I've always denied it, but I can't and I don't want to anymore. I've only ever loved my little sister and I lost her and that was the worst thing that ever happened to me. Since then I've tried never to love anyone again because I was afraid I'd lose them too, but I let you go and it hurt like hell. I felt something when I kissed you too, that's why I was such an asshole the next day and I'm sorry. I know you want to try again with Robbie, and I want to give you that..."
"I don't want anything with Robbie at all, huh? What makes you think that?"
"He told me, I was going to bring you flowers and then he opened the door"
"He picked up his things, I was with my sisters"
"Oh"
"But I saw the flowers and even though Robbie said they were from him, I knew they were from you, that's why I came here"
"So there's nothing left at your place?"
"No!"
"Does that mean I can kiss you?"

"Absolutely" is all I say before her lips meet mine.

A kiss that feels a thousand times better than any before it. It feels real.
"Yep" she says after the kiss "the tingling is real"
That made me grin and I give her another kiss.

"So you're serious?" I ask again to make sure.
"I want to spend every day with you, buy you thousands of red blossoms, I want to fall asleep with you at night and wake up next to you in the morning, I can go for a run after a few cuddles. I want to wear funny pyjamas with you at Christmas and spend Thanksgiving with your amazing family. I want you!"
"Wow" I say "that sounds like a great plan"
"I think so too, so do you want?"
"The full package?"
"The full package...and be my girlfriend?" she asks, which makes me grin.
"More than anything" I say and give her a kiss.

Hand in hand, we make our way to her place after saying goodbye to the others.
When we get to her place, we cook together while dancing to the loud music. As I stir the pasta, I feel her hands on my hips, sliding to my stomach and she hugs me from behind.
"I don't think I've ever been as happy as I am right now"
I grinned and turned around to give her a kiss.
The kiss intensified and I wanted more, so I start to take off her T-shirt.
"The noodles" she says between kisses. Then I turn around and take the noodles off the stove. "They can wait" I say and go back to her and continue kissing her. We end up on the couch and I have to say it's the best sex I've ever had. It was the same as usual with her, but still different. Much more intense and emotional.

After we've eaten the pasta half naked on the couch, we make our way to the bedroom and I fall into bed dead tired.
Y/n takes a little longer because she's still doing something in the bathroom.
"Your girlfriend wants to cuddle" I say.
"Oh yeah?"
"Yes" I say and tap the empty spot in the bed next to me.
"Then I won't keep her waiting" she says and lies down next to me and takes me in her arms. Falling asleep was the same as usual, but what was a great feeling was when I woke up. Y/n was lying next to me and cuddling my head.
"Good morning" she says and gives me a kiss on the forehead.
"Mhh" I say sleepily and snuggle up close to her while she strokes my back.
"You'll have to get used to it now" I say and look at her.
"That won't be a problem" she says and gives me a kiss.

Y/n's POV
When I said to Lizzie that I've never been happier, I wasn't lying. Being in a relationship with her is the best thing that's ever happened to me. She shows me how beautiful a relationship can be, it's great to be loved like that. I would do anything for this person, just anything.
