Shay's POV

"Come on Mitchell, put yourself together, you didn't come all the way here to ruin everything with your stupid ideas" I said to myself. I know is not easy but I have to try and gain some self-control

Finally, after taking a deep breath I knocked at the door, a smile automatically appearing on my face when the door finally got open. Just the person I was so eagerly waiting to see.

"Hey…" it was all I could handle. I felt the air leaving my lungs completely; just being in front of her again was taking my breath away. I know I probably look like an idiot right now but I don't care, her presence has let me without words

"Oh my God! Shay… what are you doing here?" for the glow in her eyes I can see she is happy to see me too. We stayed there looking at each other for a moment, I guess there were really no words to express our feelings "I'm sorry…" Linds spoke first "this is not the best way to express what I'm feeling right now but I'm speechless. I'm so happy to see you…" Linds leaned forward throwing her arms around my neck taking me into a tight embrace and I could finally let out a sigh of relief. I was so nervous about this visit; I didn't know what to expect from this but now that I'm here I'm so glad I took the chance

"I'm sorry for showing up like this…" I started after we broke the embrace "I hope I'm not interrupting something. I just wanted to give you a surprise"

"Are you kidding…? You're not interrupting anything; this is the best surprise ever. I'm so glad you're here" Suddenly, the only thing my mind could register, were Lindsey's lips on mine. I didn't even realize when she leaned forward to kiss me but I will never complain about it

Damn! How I missed her soft and sweet lips, the taste of them was the only thing keeping my mind busy on the days were I thought I wouldn't make it, and now we're here, enjoying the presence of each other and I couldn't be more glad than to let myself go into the kiss

Sadly, the kiss was short and all too soon I felt Linds pulling away, putting some space between us. When I opened my eyes I saw this bright and beautiful smile on her face that always makes me go crazy

"Hi" She said shyly. Can she be more amazing?

"Hi" I answered back, playing along

"I'm sorry. I keep you waiting out here… come inside" She took my hand on hers and guided me into the room

Once I was inside I couldn't help but notice how beautiful the room was. It wasn't one of those huge cold spaces surrounding but nothing than meaningless stuff, this room was cozy and warm, being its traditional style decoration the center of attention.

"Wow… 18th – century English…" I said, signaling to the bed "19th – century neoclassic" I was talking about the sofa and the two chairs placed on the small living room "French country and British Colonial revival" I added signaling at the style of the doors "Not bad at all"

"Did you just… describe the furnishing?" Linds look at me with surprise "Impressive" she smiled at me

"Ok. I must confess. Furniture and decoration is one of my passions. I even decorated my house on my own" I raised my hands as a playful way to surrender "Guilty"

"Another thing I just find out about you. I like it"

"My love for furniture?"

"That I learn a little bit more about you every day…" she said softly

And I couldn't hold it anymore. She already took the initiative as soon as she saw me so now it's my turn to show her why I'm here so, I just leaned forward and captured her lips with mine. I've been waiting so long for this, I've been craving to feel her close again and this time I'm not going to hold back. God, how I wish this room become into our little world from now on

"I missed you…" Linds said between kisses

"Me too… you have no idea how much" I attacked her lips eagerly. The last thing I wanted was to talk

We were really getting into it when suddenly Lindsey's phone rang. The first time she ignored it but then the sound become very annoying.

"Can you just ignore it for good?" I asked with my lips still attach to hers

"Believe me… the last thing I want… is to pick up…" she was still kissing me back so maybe if I push her a little bit further I could get her to let the call go "but it must be important" she pull away to pick up her phone, looking at me apologetically. Damn it! How I hate those things right now

"Yeah…?" Linds answered, breathing heavily and I smiled proudly for having that effect on her

"No, I'm fine… I just… had to take the stairs" the person at the other side of the line must pick up on her elaborated breathing and I had to smile again. It was kind of hot to feel that somebody could catch us at any moment

"Oh, shit! No, of course I didn't forget it… I'm just a little late… yes. Give me ten minutes. Yes… I see you there"

And that's how a simple call ruin what you thought will be the perfect day

"I'm so sorry. I have a call from set today and I didn't realize how late it was…" I knew it. She has to leave "I wish I had the whole day for us"

"It's ok. You didn't even know I was coming besides, the last thing I want is for you to interrupt your schedule for me"

"My schedule is the last thing in my mind right now" she was getting dangerously close

"Have I ever told you that when you look at me like that bad things could happen?" those eyes full of desire and that devilish smirk are a freaking temptation

"How bad, exactly?" I swear those eyes are going to be the death of me some day

"Please, don't do it or you're not only going to be late but you're probably not going to leave this room"

"Freaking schedule! I hate it so much right now" she whined. It looks so cute though

"Go. I'll wait for you here… I mean… if you want to" I was so excited by coming here that I completely forgot the staying arrangements, what if I'm going too fast

"I want to… more than anything" Linds cut off my trail of thoughts.

I couldn't help but smile. I guess we're on the same page now. I threw my arms around her neck and gave her a final kiss; one that would make her remember that I'm here waiting impatiently for her "don't take too long" I finally whispered in her ear. She sighed deeply and walked to the door

"Freaking schedule…!" I heard her mumble before she closed the door behind her and I couldn't help but laugh at her sweet frustration

Oook… now what? What can I do while Linds is at work? Oh, what if… no, going out could be too dangerous, what if someone recognize me and realize I'm not here working. No, I can't expose myself.

Maybe if I check out the room a little bit more… so far the only things that got my attention were the furniture but I wonder what's behind those doors? Let's see… the first door on the right is the closet. Second door on the right is… the bathroom. And behind door number three is… Oh my God! A balcony… What a beautiful view, perfect place for a romantic night. I guess now I know where we're going to have dinner tonight. Maybe a little surprise waiting for her after work will be the best way to celebrate our little reunion. This has to be perfect so, I think it would be a good idea if I call room service right away and start to take care of everything.

I picked up the phone settle down on the night stand, next to the bed and wait for someone to take the call, just a few seconds later a man's voice answered at the other side of the line

"Front Desk…"

"Good Morning, I'm calling because I'm going to need your services for room 802, please"

"Of course, Mrs. Williams…" Oh, no… He believes is Alice calling, what should I do? I can't pretend I'm Lindsey, they probably saw her leave the hotel already and if I pretend to be Alice, the guy would think is too weird for me to ask for the things I'm going to ask. Think fast Shay. Ok, I have no choice; I would have to lie as always. "What can I do for you?" the guy asked politely.

I hate this "Uhm… yeah… listen, I'm going to ask you for a few things… I don't know if you can get them for me, it's a very special and important request"

"Whatever you need just ask for it, we'll do our best to get them"

"Thank you, that's so sweet of you. Ok, what I need is…" I started to number my little demands, careful not to forget anything but just when I was about to ask for the food I had to stop. I realized I never asked Linds what time she was coming back.

"Uhm… I'm sorry; I missed a little detail about the time. Can I call you back to confirm what time you can bring up all the things I asked?"

"Sure, take your time. Meanwhile, I'll send a person to look for the other things"

"Thank you so much and… please, let's keep this between us, a friend of Mrs. Shaw wants to give her a surprise and is very important for us to be as discreet as possible, understand?"

"As you wish, Mrs. Johnson"

I had to hang up, I couldn't help but feeling miserable for lying like that but sadly I don't have other choice. I don't like to act like this but right now there's only one thing in my mind and I have to think on a way to get Lindsey's schedule. How could I forget such a huge detail? How am I supposed to prepare everything if I don't know how long she is going to be away? Ugh… there's no other way, there's only one thing I can do.

I took my phone from my purse, immediately looking among my contact list for Linds' number and started to write a text once I found it

-Miss you already- I know it's really clingy, giving that she just left thirty minutes ago butI prefer to make her believe that than ruin my surprise. I wait for a couple of minutes for her answer. I knew she wouldn't answer right away, no if she was on the middle of a scene, so I guess I'll just have to wait.

Meanwhile, I'm going to call the only person who can help me kill some time while I'm here. I dialed the first number that appear on my 'favorite list'; it rang twice before she answered

"Mitchy! I wonder… what could you possibly want?" I recognize that tone, she is definitely upset about something

"Always a sweetheart… What's wrong, Blaney? What got you in such glorious mood?"

"Just tired… not big deal. What about you?"

"Well, guess where I am…"

"The moon"

"Ok, sometimes I ask myself what the hell are you thinking when you give me those answers"

"Most of the time… absolutely nothing" she breath out a laugh

"Mystery solved…" I laughed too "for your information I'm in North Carolina"

"Why? You hate cold weather"

"It's not that I hate it…" I was about to explain the same thing I explained to Sammy but I wasn't going to waste my time on that "you know what forget it…" I sighed "that's not even the point, what I want to tell you is that I'm really excited because I took a very important step in my life today"

"You're finally taking cooking classes" she sounded genuinely surprised

"What? No. Restaurants are way better" I tried to lighten up her mood

"I know, right. Remember when we went to that Italian…"

"Focus, Blaney… that's not why I called you…" I said faking annoyance

"Jeez, Mitchy… it must be really important if you don't want to talk about food"

"It really is… I'm in North Carolina because Lindsey is here, working" there was a silence on the other side after I dropped the bomb. She probably thinks I'm lying

"No way… Are you serious?" She said finally; her voice still skeptical. I knew she wouldn't believe me

"I would never joke with something like this…" this time I was pretty serious

"Wow, Mitchy… it's the first time in our lives that you let me without words. I can't believe you're finally fighting for what you really want. I'm impressed" she was pronouncing the words slowly, like she wanted to let them printed in the air or something

"Uhm… thanks… I guess" of course I wasn't offended but I was impressed of how important this seems to be for her too

"No, Mitchy, seriously… you know how huge this is. The only time I saw you go after somebody was… never"

"Well… she's really worth it" I could feel my cheeks getting hot from embarrassment, not because I was ashamed of my confession but because Blaney was right; it was the first time I was so in love with someone

"I'm so, so happy for you Mitchy, you deserve it. Now I want details… how's everything going?"

"So far, everything is great. After being apart for such long time…"

"It was just a month, Mitchy"

"Well, it felt like forever"

"Ow, how romantic…"

"Are you going to let me tell you or not?"

"Fine. Go ahead"

"Ok, after the first shock of being together again, she hugged me and then she kissed me and then I kissed her back and it was… all was so amazing Blaney I can't get enough of her, you know?"

"I hear you and I want to cry"

"Don't be so dramatic"

"I'm not… it's just… I wish I could be there to celebrate"

"We can do that when I go back home, right know I'm going to use all the time we have together"

"Good call. Ok… have you order some food to have a romantic dinner? That always works"

"Done"

"Flowers?"

"Check"

"Her favorites?"

"Of course… Lilies"

"Champagne?"

"Check"

"Candles?"

"Check. Her room even has a balcony with the most beautiful view of the city so that's where we're going to have dinner tonight"

"Wow, Mitchy, I'm impressed. I guess I have nothing else to teach you" she teased

"Thank you, master" I teased her back. I didn't want to ruin the mood by telling Blaney that I had to lie to get all those things

"And where's Lindsey now?"

"Well, she had to leave for work"

"What time is she coming back?"

"That's the thing. I forgot to ask her, so I had to send her a text to figure that out, nothing specific of course because I don't want to ruin the surprise so I'm still waiting for her answer, she must be shooting right now"

"Don't' worry, she'll pick up as soon as she saw it"

"Yeah, I know… I'm just a little bit nervous, you know"

"Why?"

"I don't know what's going to happen after dinner, I mean… I kind of not know what to do"

I heard her laugh "you're not a virgin anymore if that's what you're implying. This isn't your first time, Mitchy"

"Wow, I'm talking with a real lady here"

"I'm your best friend; you don't have to pretend with me"

"Fine. But that doesn't mean I can't feel nervous and anxious"

"I know but you've being in a similar scenario before"

"Yeah, but is not the same to seduce a girl for one night than to make love with the person you love, not to mention that I didn't even say the three words yet"

"Welcome to the real world, Mitchy. Now you know how it feels to be a mortal" she laughed "but don't worry, just go with the flow, make everything as you feel is the right thing to do and everything is going to be fine, you have to be honest with her if there's something that's bothering you. Communication is the key for everything"

"Well, thank you, Dr. Phil. Who would've known you'll be such an expert?"

"What can I say? Not for nothing I'm in a long term relationship, you learn a lot from those things"

Suddenly a weird noise started to play on the background

"What's that noise? What are you doing?"

"I just turn the TV on, I'm bored and giving the fact that my best friend is about to… hey, look… your girl is on TV"

"What?"

"Lindsey… there's an interview right now. Turn the TV on, ABC"

I did as Blaney told me and in fact, there was an interview on TV where Linds was the guest star. The interview wasn't live but she was looking beautiful as always; with that blue navy suit hugging her body in all the right places. I can't believe how in love I am with that girl. I raised the volume up and listen intently to what she was saying.

Stephanie Wenger: But let's going to talk a little bit about you… I wanted to find out about when you were first cast on the show, what that experience was like, being cast in Pretty Little Liars?

Stephanie Giorgi: I know… that was straight Paige… yey!

Lindsey: That was so great… so I got the call for this audition and they were like is there going to be 3 episodes for Pretty Little Liars… 10 things I hate about you had just got cancelled so it's like it was a failure boo…

Linds is so cute…

So I went in, that was great, got a call back, when I got to this chemistry with Shay at Warner Brothers, there were all like… 5 other blondes in the room so I was like ''obviously they are looking for a blonde right now'' but I go in Oliver's there, Marlene, Shay. I remember it was like a scene where we had to like… you know… kiss and uhm… so I remember asking her beforehand ''is it ok if I like move and kiss you?'' and she's like ''Yeah! It's fine'' she's like… ''I've been through this'' so we do that and then they call me, and they were like ''yeah, they pick you, that's great woo ho… they just want you to change your hair''… so starts the infamous red, bob with bangs and uhm…

"I remember that day as it was yesterday…" I just stop listening to the interview and started talking with Blaney again. There are so many memories in my head right now about that day "It was the day we met for the first time. The producers had already talk to me about another actress who at that moment was a huge possibility to get the role of Paige, they told me she'd been working on a show on the same network and the show had been canceled by then, it was perfect but only depended on how good we work together. At first I was totally skeptical, it'd been a really long day and I was tired from seeing girl after girl coming in and out from the room where the chemistry audition was taking place. Did you know I almost asked Marlene to reschedule our audition?"

"No, I didn't" Blaney answered and just then I realized I never talk about this with anyone before

"Marlene convinced me to give her a chance" I continued "she promised me that girl would be the last one for the day and that we would continue later. I agreed and she called her into the room. She came in and I was in shock… Blaney, you should have seen her that day, she was gorgeous, well she still is of course but she was in her natural hair color, of course then it came the infamous red like she said but that day I looked at her just the way she was, she looked so comfortable and carefree and I would never forget that. I stood still in place while Marlene and Oliver talked to her until it was the time for our scene, a kiss scene I may add"

"How was it?"

"A little bit shy… She asked me if she could kiss me and all I could think was 'Please do' but I was so out of place by then that, that joke was the only thing that cross my mind at that moment, I felt so embarrass after that but she laughed and I felt more relax and when the kiss finally happened it was like magic. I guess Oliver and Marlene felt it too because after she left they were all like 'I think we got the girl we need' and I was like 'yes… please pick her, don't let anybody else come into this room' and funny enough I got the last call…"

"And you obviously said yes"

"How could I not?"

"You should tell her that"

"I will… I definitely will, maybe tonight" I made a pause to think about that day again and a smile appeared on my face. It's being so long from that day but the memories are still fresh in my head

Suddenly a familiar laugh reminded me that the interview was still on

Stephanie Giorgi: Bob are always xxx on shows

Lindsey: Right?

Stephanie Giorgi: if you got a bob cut hair on a show it's like you just know you're going to be a B.I.T.C.H.

Dakota T. Jones: which we thought for a while but it was only…

Stephanie Giorgi: Yeah, homosexually… yeah

Lindsey: yeah, she's just like, yeah… once you just let her out, Paige is just a… I don't know, an entire little things of things

"These guys are hilarious" Michaela laughed at the other side. I was thinking exactly the same thing

"Yeah, they are… but let me hear the whole thing"

"Sorry" she faked annoyance

Stephanie Wenger: But tell me about joining the cast, when you did it was a pretty stablish cast at that point…

Lindsey: Right

Stephanie Wenger: …and so how what was it like to join them on set?

Lindsey: You know that was like just a very… uhm… I was nervous, you know to go join like this other family but I was also very excited and honor and they just welcomed me with open arms, there's such wonderful crew over there and you know… Shay was wonderful I just can't say enough about how great that place is so; it's just been great from start to the finale

"Forget about dinner, just ask her to marry you" Michaela's voice dragged me out of my pensive state

"What?"

"Thank you for paying attention"

"I'm sorry. I was just…" I had no words, I was still thinking about what Linds' answer

"Distracted…? drooling over the girl of your dreams…?"

"That obvious…?"

"I know you, my friend and I've never seen you act like this. I'm sorry, Mitchy but I'm afraid you're in love"

"I guess I am…" I was still feeling a lit bit shy about it

"Guess?"

"No, I'm sure that I'm in love with her" The first time we met, our real first kiss, all our conversations by the phone, how much I miss her when she is not around; all those are clear signs that I feel more than just attraction for her, there's a strong feeling growing inside me and I can't deny it anymore

"So…? What're you gonna do about it?"

"Show her how I feel. No fears, no regrets" I'm sure of what I want now

"That's what I wanted to hear"

We listen to what it was left from the interview in silence until it was over

Stephanie Wenger: Thank you so much for hanging out with us

Lindsey: Thank you… you're guys so amazing

Stephanie Wenger: Thank you, so are you and thank you guys so much for tuning in…

"Ow… that was short. Such a shame it's over"

"That's because you tuned in too late" I complained

"Thank you Michaela for letting me know about this interview you're so kind" She said sarcastically "Oh, don't worry Shay, my pleasure" I knew I wasn't being fair with her

"Fine… thank you Blaney, you're a good friend"

"You're welcome… But anyway, you have to admit Linds is so freaking sweet. If you let her go, Mitchy, I swear…"

"Wow…! easy, Blaney. Want to date her…?"

"Bring it on…!"

"Of course not! You don't even like girls" I yelled at her.

"I like her"

"No! She is mine" Wow… where did that come from?

"Possessive much"

"What I feel for her is very strong, Blaney. I know is too soon to tell her that but I really want to be with her"

"Then show her what you want"

"I will, and this time I won't let my chance go away"

"Good, because I don't want you regretting things later"

"I won't. I promise"

I was about to say something else but the ring on my phone distracted me

"Who is it?" It looks like Blaney heard it too. I looked at the screen and saw it was Linds answering back and I couldn't help the big smile appearing on my face

"Is Lindsey" I read the text out loud "'I miss you too, can't wait to get out of here and be there with you. Wait for me? I'll be there as soon as I can; maybe 6.30, 7 tops' and there's the emoji sending me a kiss"

"Adorable…" she sighed dramatically

I couldn't help but laugh, in deed it was adorable. Linds is amazing

"Listen, I have to go finish with my plan but I call you tomorrow, ok? Wish me luck"

"Ugh, I hate when you start to say something and then let me like this. I hate you…! Ok, I don't really hate you but you'll must tell me everything later… deal?"

"Deal. Bye, Blaney"

I hung up and immediately call the front desk again to ask for our food. This is going to be our night, the night where I would finally be able to tell her how I really feel and how badly I want for this to work out. I love her and I don't have more doubts about it.

Room service brought the food just on time to get everything ready. But our dinner wasn't the only surprise I had ready for her, so I went to my suitcase and look for the dress I wear on Sean's graduation. Just like I promised her, I was going to wear it just for her to see how it looks and I really hope she likes it. Everything is perfect and all I have to do now is, wait for Linds to come back.

Luckily I didn't have to wait for too long; just half an hour later I heard a key on the door, struggling a bit to get open. I stood in the middle of the room; the candles already lighten up, the table already settled on the balcony and rose petals were spread around the floor and the bed. I saw her coming into the room and a big smile appeared on my face when I see the surprised expression on hers. It was adorable. Once she saw me standing there and realized what was all that about, a matching smile appeared on her beautiful face too.

"Hi"


Huge cliffhanger, I know. But let me know... what are you expecting for next chapter? I hope you liked this one. See ya
