Chapter Ten
Elphaba woke up in her own bed, and smiled when she realized how she'd gotten there. Fiyero must have carried her back. When she stretched, she realized it was her only day off of the week, and she grinned even more.
That grin was interrupted with a knock on the door. She figured it was Fiyero, and she went to the door with pep in her step. Her grin faded when she opened the door to find Glinda.
"Morning Elphie!" she said, hugging her friend.
"Morning Glin." She said, giving her a slight hug back. "What are you doing here?"
"It's our day off silly! Why else would I be here?" Glinda said as she let herself into Elphaba's apartment, "So, what do you want to do today?"
She rubbed her neck, "Well, I was going to catch up on some paperwork…and some sleep." She said, trying to convince her friend to leave.
"Well, that's the perfect opportunity to catch up with each other! What do you say?"
Elphaba couldn't refuse, "Yeah…I guess we could do that."
Glinda sat with Elphaba on her couch, "So, tell me everything. Anything that I've missed."
"Well, recently, I just work. I don't really have time for anything else."
"You haven't made any friends?"
She remembered Fiyero's words in her head, "Just one."
"Who?"
"Well, he's my friend…but he's more than that too."
Glinda's eyes widened, "Elphaba Thropp, do you have a boyfriend!?"
She smiled as she looked away from Glinda, "Uh…yeah. Yeah I do."
"Elphie!" she squealed, "This is so exciting! How long have you two been dating?"
"Right after I settled in here. So…two and a half months…maybe three?"
"Elphie! I'm so happy for you!" she hugged her friend, "Who is he? I have to meet him!"
"Glinda, I can't let you meet him just yet. We're in a tough spot right now with his work, and I don't want to mess things up."
"What do you mean?" she said as Elphaba explained the situation without giving names or going too much into detail, "Wow. Elphie, you can trust me. Honest, I won't tell a soul!"
Elphaba hesitated, pushing a hair behind her ear, Glinda saw her and said, "You don't have to tell me now if you don't want to." She looked at her and smiled, "Do you love him?"
Elphaba blushed at her, "I'm not sure, but I've never felt this way before with anyone. He makes me feel…so special. If that's what love is, then I guess I do."
She smiled, "Can you see a future with him?"
"Yeah, I can." She sighed a sigh of content, "Glin, I don't mean to be rude, but could I go see him for a bit?"
"Sure, sweetie, I'll see you later, alright?"
"Thank you. See you soon." She watched as Glinda left. After a few minutes, she went across the hall and opened the door to find Fiyero reading the paper. When he saw her, he took off his glasses and got up to greet her.
"Hey, Fae."
"Hey, Yero. Sorry I didn't come by sooner- Glinda came by and she just left."
He shrugged, "No biggie." He kissed her, "I missed you."
She returned the kiss, "I missed you too." She hugged him, and he held her for a few minutes.
"Everything alright, Fae?" he said when they broke apart.
She smiled at him, remembering Glinda's conversation, "I'm just really glad we're together, that's all."
He smiled, and the two spent the remainder of the day together, only to begin their secluded lifestyle again the next day.
