A Gift means A Lot - Dexiana

Chapter 6: Fitz POV

I know it says chapter 6, but I wrote this and forgot to publish it (oops), so just imagine it as happening after Keefe's POV hehehe (I have no idea how to write Fitz) + there is some fitz bashing

I am so stupid. I have been so obsessed with Sophie, that I wasn't even able to see a few metres past her and find the person I really care about.

This wasn't until I read the name on the paper I picked up.

I probably looked stupid when I read it. A bunch of feelings came to me, happiness, sadness, regret and even hope. I don't know if that makes sense, but to me it does.

She is pretty much perfect. But at the same time, I think I missed my chance. I was so oblivious to her noticing me, but I think she gave up. Besides, I don't want it to end up like it did with Sophie. She was fine, but I wasn't, I was kinda heartbroken, even though I know is Keefe is better for her. I hope this doesn't mess up us being Cognates too much, but it definitely would if I pursued this other girl.

I guess I have to get her a gift now.

We all know how great I am at giving gifts! Look how it turned out with Sophie...

Hopefully I don't screw this up. Let's face it, I probably will. This girl is amazing, but she seems picky. I mean, I really like her, but se probably thinks I'm still obsessed with Sophie, for the record, I'm not. Why would she even pay attention to some lame guy who can't even keep a girl interested for more than a few months.

I went to Atlantis to buy her something. What if she doesn't like my gift? What if it isn't thoughtful enough? I can't think like that.

I don't just want to get her something expensive and random, I want to get her something nice, something SHE would like, not just anyone. Maybe that's where I went wrong with Sophie, I got her gifts that were a bit basic, not super thoughtful.

I stopped at the shop where I usually would have been buying Sophie a present. "Congrats on saving the world, I haven't seen you in a while. What can I get ya?" Said the familiar shopkeeper. "Thanks. Nothing for Sophie today, this is for someone else.""Ah, I see. So what are we thinking? Jewellery? Sculptures? Pictures?" I then had an idea, but it wasn't going to be the most meaningful gift ever, yet it felt right.
