Chapter 32: Friends?Liz was shocked, it seemed that with Gigi everything was shocking and unexpected, and she found herself at a loss for words. She wanted to hug Gigi so bad but thought that was way too much even though they were a little bit touchy with each other. Liz truly had no idea of what to say and she felt like an idiot. She did not remember saying any of that to Gigi, she was that depressed that she forgot many things about those days. However, knowing that Gigi had loved her that much made Liz's heart melt. "I honestly don't know what to say I just wanted you to stop talking." Liz may have come off as rude with that comment. Truth was, she needed Gigi to stop talking so she could stop crying and start thinking. "No, I understand, I'm a selfish piece of thrash and you can leave if you want to" Gigi rushed to say, and all of a sudden felt like all of that monologue had been pointless. "No, Geeg. I was gonna say that I did not know any of that." Liz closed her eyes for a s
Chapter 33: Slumber PartyIt was 2 am on a Sunday when Gigi called Liz. The orange-haired had been sleeping for at least three hours when her phone started ringing and woke her up. Rubbing her eyes, she quickly sat in her bed ready to leave her house if Gigi would ask her to."Liz?" Gigi squeaked. She sounded concerned and Liz got scared. Gigi always had a secure tone while speaking and hearing her voice tremble made Liz think that something had happened. "Geeg, are you okay?" Liz did not usually first react to situations by feeling scared but everything was different when it came to Gigi and her well-being. "What are you doing?" Gigi was divided between two things. She needed Liz but she also felt like calling her out of nowhere at 2 a.m was kind of inappropriate. "I'm having dinner with the president, Gigi" Liz was naturally funny, even when she had just woken up. She had a fast tongue; it could be said. But it was also really late so Gigi wasn't catching her jokes as fast as she
Chapter 34: Let's Play A GameGigi ran to her front door forgetting about her fear of darkness almost completely. Liz, as usual, looked kissable. She was wearing the first thing she found in her closet but still, she was the most beautiful and exciting human being in Gigi's eyes. "Come in, Monrae, and please give me a hug." Gigi always needed to have physical contact with Liz and was constantly trying to make up excuses to achieve her goal. It was like she was trying to recover their lost time every single minute that she was with Liz. Liz immediately hugged Gigi, who was standing in front of her and smelled the blonde's perfume, her favorite thing ever. She decided to turn on the torch on her phone to see a little bit of Gigi's face. "Let's go upstairs, your living room is creepy and soon I'll become five years old again like you, and I'll be afraid of darkness too." Gigi took Liz's hand and she guided her to her room. She wasn't scared anymore; she could never be scared around Liz
Chapter 35: Goodnight, GigiGigi could not describe how happy and excited she was for the fact that she was getting to spend a whole night with Liz. They would see each other almost every day but at night, when Gigi felt the loneliest, Liz was never there. So she wanted to make that night count. Besides, she still had questions about Liz on her head that she was never able to ask Liz for one reason or another. Maybe that game was the perfect excuse to ask what she had never dared to ask her. "How many people have you dated since I left?" Gigi slid closer to Liz and the orange-haired girl finally faced her. Liz started playing with one of her orange curls and simply answered "I think only Delilah. I mean, I went on a few dates but they were not you so they didn't work and-""They weren't who?" Gigi's heartbeats suddenly increased and she couldn't help but smile. She knew that feeling of not being able to find another person very well. Liz smiled "You. But shut up about it. It was my
Chapter 36: Work Is Funnier When You Are HighGigi woke up first the following morning and it took her a couple of seconds to realize whose arms were around her waist. It was almost like sleeping together was something that they had never stopped doing. She felt comfortable and like she was daydreaming. She soon realized she hadn't been scared of the dark at all during the whole night, Liz was her nightingale. Gigi delicately slid away from Liz's arms only to slowly turn her body around and look at the beautiful girl sleeping next to her. Waking up before Liz just to watch her sleep was a common thing that she used to do when they were dating. Liz had always been a peaceful person, but she was the calmest and relaxed when she was asleep. Just to see how her chest would rose every time she inhaled and fall every time she exhaled made Gigi feel more serene. "What are you doing creep? Watching me while I sleep? I'm adding this to my list of why I shouldn't talk to you anymore." Liz had
Chapter 37: Who Knew Gigi Could Smile So Much?It was a beautiful sunny day; flowers were blooming, and it wasn't really hot outside. Liz quickly put together a cigarette and sealed it with her tongue (Gigi found it sexy) and taught Gigi how to inhale the air and then how to exhale to smoke well. Gigi was a fast learner and was amused by Liz's knowledge on the subject, even if it was a pretty bad subject to excel at. Smoking felt weird to her at first and she didn't particularly was blown out by it but the fact that Liz was watching her with a big smile on her face made everything worth it. "You're doing great, Geffrey. This is the best day of my life. It only took me six years to convince you." Liz could not believe her eyes. Gigi had changed a lot, and she was loving every side of her. "I feel normal, how does this thing work?" "Give it a few minutes, just know that this is not LSD, you will not see things you don't normally see. You'll just feel calmed and maybe you'll laugh mo
Liz was not expecting that question at all. Gigi had asked her similar things since they became friends again but not that directly. Did she love her girlfriend? Of course, she did. But sometimes love was not everything that mattered. Did she love her girlfriend more than she had ever loved Gigi? Well, that was a whole new different answer that Liz was not ready to think about. "I mean, I think I do. It's just so easy with her. We understand each other and we take care of each other. The level of respect between us is amazing, I don't know." Liz muttered. What was missing for her in that relationship was not the love part, it was almost everything else. "Are you okay?" Gigi seemed deeply affected by Liz's words and the orange-haired couldn't understand why. She moved her body closer to the blonde and raised her face with her left hand to have a better look at the blonde's expressions. "I'm fine, Liz. I was just curious." Gigi knew what she was about to face when she asked that questi
Chapter 39: KyleEven though Liz had always been part of the jealous kind, she never showed any strong emotions to the outside world. Yes, she used to tell Gigi she was feeling jealous or insecure about something from time to time but nothing got to her as much as Kyle did. Liz hated Kyle with her whole body and soul, he was kind of her biggest enemy. With amazing brown eyes, the strongest jaw on Earth, and a beautiful body, Kyle was Liz's worst nightmare. And even if she was a lesbian, she still had eyes, Kyle was hot. The reason why she hated him so much was the fact that he was also best friends with Gigi, and no, it wasn't because she was a jealous freak, it was because Kyle was also really in love with Gigi and was constantly trying to take her away from Liz. On the other hand, Gigi loved Kyle so freaking much. They had been best friends since they were thirteen and he was one of the few people that she kept in contact with after leaving Illinois. He had even visited Gigi a bunc
Chapter 58: Flashback"You seriously need to stop kissing me". Gigi warned with a high-pitched voice while she tried to pull Liz's face away from hers with a big smile on her face. "Why would I do that?" Liz complained and tried to kiss her girlfriend once again.They were sixteen lying on Gigi's bed on a normal Tuesday night. Gigi's mom did not like people staying over during weekdays but always made an exception when it came to Liz. Everything was an exception when it came to Liz. "Because it's late and we need to sleep." Liz was not buying that. She knew Gigi was going through something, and had been going through it for the whole day but was not willing to share it with her. "Gigi, it's me, you can tell me anything, you know?""How do you know me so well?" Gigi half-complained and turned to her left to face Liz. "What if someday you ever stop loving me?" She threw that thought so fast to Liz that the orange-haired had to think if she had heard that correctly. "Is that what got
Chapter 57: FlyingLiz's mom had always made sure her daughter knew that nothing was impossible, every single thing she wanted was achievable if she tried hard enough. And, for a while, Liz believed her. She was always a happy child, the creative one, with her head in the clouds and always having fun, nothing could ever be ruined for her, she always found ways to make every situation she was in like a daydream. Until one day she discovered the one thing that she could not do: flying. She was seven and was looking at the sky with Gigi laying next to her when the idea of flying appeared in her mind. She had run to where her mom was, at the kitchen preparing the most delicious cookies for them, and told her that she had found the one impossible thing she was never going to able to do: flying.Her mom found the situation too adorable to crush her daughter's dreams so she told her that if Liz tried hard enough, one day, she was going to be able to fly. However, she warned, she did not hav
Chapter 56: The SpyDelilah St. Louis could be many things. She was a clever girl, with the most amazing grades and a higher IQ than the average one. Her beauty was undeniable, no one had ever made her feel like she was not cute enough, she even had 'pretty privilege' when she went to parties and social events in comparison to her other friends. She was always offered drinks and let into places for free. She was independent, she had moved away from her house when she was just sixteen and had multiple jobs ever since without anyone's help. Delilah was hardworking, bright, impressive, reliable, punctual, and many other things, but she was not dumb. Yes, she could act as if she was dumb and make people think they could trick her, yet she always knew when something was not right, when something was not true. She could almost smell lies from miles away. Liz and she had started dating many months ago, she could not even count how many months they had been seeing each other with her fingers
Chapter 55: Marco"Why did it take you forever to grab two coffees I was dying of boredom here" Gigi complained and Liz felt even sadder. Leaving Gigi waiting outside was almost nothing compared to what she just got into, but it still made her feel terrible. Gigi was so relieved to see Liz coming out of that place, she was thirsty and also missed her terribly even if she had just left minutes ago. The orange-haired was holding two big drinks in her hands, both had cream on top of them and were iced, so Gigi was intrigued. When she tried the beverage, it tasted better than she had imagined and she felt butterflies in her stomach thinking about how much Liz knew her. "What? You were already missing me?" Liz shot back with a flirty tone, she was determined to forget what had happened and just enjoy her day with Gigi. If she could make her feel happy even for some hours, she was going to do it. Gigi's happiness was her happiness too. "What is this? This tastes great" They started slowly
Chapter 54: Deal"Gigi, you know I hate walking" Liz complained after following Gigi for fifteen minutes. The blonde was walking way too fast for Liz's taste just because of how excited she was. She had never imagined that being around Liz was going to boost her energy that much but it was what she needed to be completely happy. "Liz, you are the most annoying person I've ever met, and I'm not exaggerating" Gigi replied without breaking the smile she had been holding since Liz had agreed to follow her. "Can I at least know where are we going?" Gigi just nodded her head and held Liz's hand even tighter, she was not letting her know where they were going. It was the perfect day for being together and the perfect moment for them to go to that place they were heading to. They both felt like people were vibrating in symphony with them as they all seem happy and Gigi and Liz could only see smiley faces around them. Even if they were walking in complete silence, they were enjoying each
Chapter 53: Are You Mad At Me?It was more than a surprise for Gigi to be wakened up by a noise and that noise being Liz standing right behind her. "Liz? What are you doing here?" Gigi was truly surprised and thought it was getting more common than she would like to admit casually seeing Liz again. "What are you doing here?" Liz shot back and started frenetically touching her hair. She was nervous, especially after what had happened the previous night and how many risks she was taking just for being there. "I needed to clear my mind a little bit and?. I don't know, I really like this place." Gigi looked vulnerable, she was so tired of being a 'bad girl', that day she felt different. "Can we talk?"Without even waiting to say yes, Liz sat down in front of her almost immediately. Yes, she wanted to talk to Gigi. Yes, she needed Gigi around and yes, she wanted to kiss Gigi. Also, the sun looked beautiful on her soft skin so she wanted to admire it from a closer spot. "I wanted to apol
Chapter 52: Millennium ParkGigi woke up the following morning with a bright new thought: she wanted that day to be different. She was not that kind of positive girl who always smiled and hoped for a better day but that single day was different. A big part of why she was so happy that morning was because she had been able to figure things out with Jayla, her best friend. Seeing her sleeping next to her with her messy hair and her makeup still on her face gave Gigi all the good vibes that she needed. However, she knew she had already bothered Jayla a lot with her problems, and maybe she had even drained her brain a little bit, so she decided to spend that day on her own, maybe going to the park to prepare herself for the upcoming semester, that was getting closer each day, or just to listen to some music was the right thing to do. She found those plans mesmerizing and was happy to start that new little adventure. The kids she was babysitting were out of town with their grandma and she
Chapter 51: What Are You Doing Here?Liz didn't know if she was feeling more miserable over the fact that she was Gigi's mom and that meant that she had just broken her daughter's heart just a couple of hours ago or by the fact that she knew something she didn't, that her husband was probably cheating on her and she hadn't been brave enough to tell Gigi nor her about it. "What are you doing here, kiddo?" Was the first thing Gigi's mom said putting her bags on the floor and immediately hugging her. The relationship she had with Gigi's mom was almost like she was a member of her own family, in fact, she always called her 'aunt'. Liz felt so miserable with the fact that she was going to have to lie once again and that time it was directly to her aunt, it sucked since they had a no lies policy between them."I thought Gigi was with you? Now I don't know if she said she was spending the night at your place or Jayla's." "I'm here with Delilah, she wanted to buy a couple of things and drag
Chapter 50: Blonde"Lizzy, do you like this one?" Delilah turned around to show Liz the short dress she was trying. They were shopping in the main city center and Liz couldn't be more bored. Well, maybe bored wasn't the word she would use, she was tired. Her kiss with some blonde girl got her up all night and the bags under her eyes were the living proof of it. She wanted to know how Gigi was doing if she had felt the same amount of happiness as her if she had stayed up all night thinking about her as Liz did if she had felt like she fell in love all over again with Liz and many more things. But, taking the good feelings aside, Liz was sad. The guilt she was feeling was almost consuming her and was damaging her brain, she couldn't even breathe without feeling like the worst person alive. She was a loser for not telling Delilah the truth and a bigger loser for choosing not to talk to Gigi instead of trying to fix things once again. Delilah had called her a couple of hours after that in
