there was a knock on the door and alexis looked at liv with a giddy but nervous look on her face.

"so how do i look?"

"you look amazing, only because i picked your outfit though."

olivia winked and alexis rolled her eyes. she grabbed her phone and waved goodbye to her best friend, running down the stairs and swung the door open.

there he stood, in an oversized blue sweater, with his hands shoved deep in his pocket. he wore a cheeky smile on his face and his curls were littered against his forehead and her heart fluttered when she took in the sight of him.

"hey you."

he smiled and she impulsively threw her arms around his neck. he was taken aback but quickly recovered and wrapped his around her waist, pulling her close and breathing in her scent.

after all these years she still smelt of strawberry and vanilla and him of cinnamon. they pulled away from the hug and looked at each other for a while, just enjoying each other's presence.

"so ready to go?"

lexi nodded and intertwined her hand with his, shutting the door and getting into the car. the 15 minute car was filled with bad singing, terrible jokes and glances at each other that weren't so subtle.

they arrived at starbucks and held hands again as she took a seat and he ordered their drinks. he came back and handed her a strawberry lemonade while he sipped on an iced coffee.

"so, i wanna start this off by apologizing for everything that happened, back then."

his voice trailed off at the end and she quietly sipped on her drink, as timmy continued talking.

"i was a dick, i fucked up and i'm sorry for the way things ended. i never should've let you go and i regret what i did every single day."

he looked at the brunette in front of him as she frowned and looked at the table, fiddling with the straw in her drink.

"well, i mean you didn't handle it in the best way possible, but it's okay. i forgive you."

she smiled at him brightly and his heart pounded in his chest, him being genuinely happy for the first time in two years.

they drank their drinks and caught up on everything they missed in the past two years, their feelings for each other slowly rising back up but neither of them cared at the moment because they were just enjoying each others company.

"i really missed you lexi."

"i really missed you too timmy."

"so we're back to timmy huh?"

he smirked at her and she rolled her eyes, tucking a piece of hair behind her ear.

"we can go back to timothee if you want."

he widened his eyes and shook his head rapidly causing alexis to laugh.

"i would never."

"i feel like now is the perfect time for a wholesome harry styles meme."

"oh dear god."
