Is he the one?

Chapter 16. Getting Settled

Lizzie's POV -

"Lizzie?" came a familiar voice from the landing, I turned to see the boy with gorgeous blue eyes staring at me like I was only a fragment of his imagination. He started to run, I started to run too, away from the other boys and towards the boy whom I want to call mine. He met me at the bottom of the stairs where I jumped into his arms, I held him tight, feeling safer than I ever have before. He kissed my forehead as he put me down but my face showed a sign of disappointment. He seemed to get the message as he leant down to me and I went on my tip-toes and my lips collided with his.

That was one of the best kisses I had ever had, it was meaningful, slow and most importantly no one came and ruined it. As we parted I started to smile and I saw that he did too, he placed his forehead on mine and looked deep into my eyes.

"I've missed you like crazy." He said, with more meaning than I've ever heard five words been uttered.

Arms wrapped around his neck, I pulled him closer to me and whispered in his ear. "Same, but I'm here now." I kissed his cheek as I looked back at his face.

"You have the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen." he said, cheeks flushed which made me fall in lo.. um I mean like him even more than I have ever done before.

I held onto his hand as we made our way to the other boys, I made eye contact with Corbyn who subsequently made kissing faces which made me start laughing so much. We sat down and enjoyed a chill afternoon all together.

At some point I told Corbyn that I needed to talk to him so we left the room and went upstairs so that no one could hear us. We passed Daniel's room where I saw a framed photograph of Daniel and I sitting on his bedside table.

Corbyn took me to his room and sat me on the bed. "I know what you are going to say, " said the all-knowing Corbyn, "and yes, he really wants to ask you to be his girlfriend but I don't know when or where so just make sure, you know." he reassured me which made me beam on the inside.

At 4 PM I got a lift back to my dad's house from Jack and we talked about life and just some weird things.

After Jack had helped me with my bags I said goodbye to him and knocked on the door. My smiling Dad opened it and ushered me into the hall, once inside I gave him a hug.

"Hey Dad, I missed you." I said cheerily.

"I missed you too Liza." He said back to me as he lifted my bags into my new room.

It hadn't changed from the last time I had been here. The duvet was still folded into a triangle from the last morning I had woken up here, the washing basket was still sat with it's top hanging wide open and the odd sock still lay on the chair in the corner next to my fluffy pillow. I frantically began unpacking because I wanted to go out for some ice cream soon but after a solid twenty minutes I ditched unpacking and just headed out to get some ice cream.

It was a warm stroll to the pier from my new home, on the way I saw a seagull try to take a man's fish and chips though. Nonetheless, I arrived at the ice cream parlour within only ten minutes and ordered my favourite flavour which I don't really know the name but it's vanilla with chocolate chunks in, I think it's called stracciatello. While sitting on the large rocks by the sea, I noticed a familiar person with another person whom I had not met before but I had heard so much about.

"Hey Corbyn!" I yelled to him, he saw me and jogged over, "And you're Christina, right?"

"Right," she smiled at me, "and Lizzie?" I nodded as I hugged her.

"So what brings you here then Lizzie?" Corbyn asked quizzically.

"Well," I started "I was unpacking but then I gave up on it after like twenty minutes, then I wanted to go eat ice cream, then I came to the beach because I figured that there would be ice cream somewhere at the beach on a nice day like this, and then I got this," I showed them my ice cream, "and then I saw you."

"Nice." Christina commented laughing.

"But why didn't you go to our house, I mean we have loads of ice cream there?" Corbyn questioned me again.

"I don't know, I just wanted to go out by my self I guess but I am really thankful that I didn't get lost." all three of us chuckled.

"Well maybe you could get Daniel to show you around." he said to me, giving those over exaggerated winks which made Christina get a little too excited.

"Oooh, is there something going on between you and Daniel then? she practically squealed.

"I think so, I mean we've only been on a few dates and it's nothing more to be honest." I replied quickly but then I caught Corbyn's eye and I knew that he was going to tell Christina what was really happening.

"Nothing more?" Corbyn scoffed, "Nothing more, huh? So are we just going to pretend that that kiss you two had this morning didn't happen? You know the one, like that one which lasted almost a minute?" I had no idea that Corbyn had witnessed that kiss earlier and the thought of him watching it made me flush bright pink. "Yes Lizzie, I saw it, and I could tell that both of you were enjoying it."

All of this description made me slightly cringe but it made Christina get even more excited and give me an even tighter hug. "Why haven't you two started being boyfriend and girlfriend yet?" she demanded (but in a nice way).

"I would but there is one problem, Jonah." I sighed, "So, I don't know if you know this but Jonah is my brother and he doesn't really like me liking Daniel. Like at all." I told Christina which evoked a sad look from her. "But trust me, I'm working on it." I finished

A/N - Hey, thank you for reading this chapter and I hope you liked it and if you didn't then you wasted your time. So Daniel and Lizzie see each other again and then Lizzie gets to meet Christina but what did Lizzie mean when she said 'I'm working on it'???

Anyways, the next chapter would probably be out on Sunday and the word count for this chapter is 1163 but I'll see you all later, BYEE!
