Shameless Season 9 Fanfiction (Gallavich)

Back Together?

It was the day after and Lip's heart was beating as fast as it had never gone before. He had never seen Mandy look so beautiful. Her mucky blonde hair reminded him of Monica and even though he disliked Monica it gave him comfort knowing that somewhere in his heart he still cared for her. All he wanted to do was kiss her but after they had kissed yesterday he wasn't sure what their relationship was, I mean she didn't even live on the southside anymore.

Mandy was staring at Lip, he looked so sexy and all she wanted to do was rip his clothes off. She didn't know what she wanted their new relationship to be like, she was devasted when he rejected her after she said ' i love you' and he never said it back, that messed with her for a long time and stopped her allowing herself to catch feelings for some years, that's one of the reasons she became an escort, so she didn't have to catch feelings.

'Mandy?'

'Yes, Lip'

'What is this? Us, I mean'

'I don't know, I want this to be like it used to be except I want you to love me back'

'I do, I promise, I love you so much and always have I was just so nervous to say it, I had never felt like that with anyone except Karen and she fucked me up pretty badly. I wasn't used to a girl showing me love and affection, I was the one caring for Karen whilst she was horrible to me, I guess I wasn't ready for a healthy relationship then, I mean I treat you like shit but I wouldn't do that now, never again'

Mandy smiled but so Lip couldn't see.

'Good, I want to come home, we can finally be together just like I wanted to be all those years ago'

Lip hugged Mandy softy and sank his head into her shoulder, he had never been this sure about something in his whole life, this is exactly what he needed.
