At the penthouse, 9:47PM
Lily is struggling with calling Rufus right now. She isn't sure about how he's going to react and if he's going to believe her. She needs to take the risk, Selena nods and smiles at her mother as Lily calls Rufus' number.
Rufus answers his phone: "Hello, Rufus Humphrey there"
"Rufus, please listen to me, Bart forced me into the kiss, I did not kiss him back, he had my head in his hand and I couldn't fight against him because of all the alcohol I had drunk. I am SO sorry for the whole situation Rufus, I hit him in the face right away, but you've already been in the elevator, I- I-" Lily talks as fast as can because she wanted to make sure that he listens to her story to the very end. She was hoping so much that he could understand it.
"LILY- please calm down, I see that I misunderstood the situation, I'm still in Manhattan so I'm gonna be at your penthouse in around 5 minutes, please wait for me so we can talk, okey Lil?"
Lily was impressed, not only by his reaction, but by the fact that he called her "Lil" again.. her heart bumped so fast just by that. At that moment she could have cried just cause it made her SO happy, she knew it was the first step of them becoming closer again. "I will wait, Rufus."
She hung up. Serena had a bright smile on her face and immediately hugged her mother. "I will head over to Blair now, she said that she wants to talk to me. Mom, good luck, you know that I love you." Serena stands up and walks to the elevator. But guess who already arrived with it. Rufus. Serena leaves a smile for him, entries the elevator and leaves.
"Rufus!" Lily shouts sounding super suprised, like as she didn't expect him, and also louder than she wanted to. "I am so glad that you're here.. It really is super harsh of me to not even let you say a single word since you arrived but please just sit down with me and listen to what I am about to tell you."
"Since 2 weeks, no really, since 20 years I've been trying to tell you how sorry I am. I'm sorry that I let you go back then and didn't tell you about your son. I'm sorry that I came back into your life 20 years later and ruined your marriage in some kind of way. I'm sorry that I slept with you just before my marriage, giving you back all these feelings and all these emotions and than choosing Bart over you. I'm sorry that I married you at first and than almost annuled our marriage for fucking Bart Bass." Lily pauses about 15 seconds before she continues.
"I'm sorry to admit that I'm still in love with you, Rufus. All of the other man just being little side characters, while you were the main one, and distractions from the broken heart you handed me back. The heart that I had given to you, the love of my life, 20 years ago. I love you. I've always loved you and I will always love you. Just you and nobody else."
There's been pure silence since all of these words came out of Lily's mouth. Rufus expected everything, particulary something like a marriage annullation, but not this. He was impressed of her. Impressed that Lily Rhodes, currently Lily Humphrey, felt this way about him, especially because he felt the exact same way about her.
"I'm sorry to admit that I love you even more Lil. I love you so so much."
They slowly start to close the gap between them looking deeply into eachothers eyes. They weren't teenagers anymore. They now knew what true love felt like. Their connection, their chemistry, that wasn't just an affair or a normal relationship. THAT was a deep love, that lived in their hearts. They were soulmates and they felt that, so clear now.
They slowly fell into a deep, passionate kiss, that went on for a minute. Rufus wasn't an emotional individual but he felt his closed eyes tearing up over happiness. Also Lily felt the happiest she has ever been, even their marriage day couldn't top this moment. It was the moment of realization. They both realized that they want nobody else in their lives as a partner, they wanted eachother, forever and always.
"So Lil, wanna go on a date?" Rufus interrupted the moment. They both laughed at how weird that sounds, cause they've never really been in that phase. "Sure Rufus, getting to know eachother for real this time, sounds great." Lily giggles, knowing that there's alot to talk about but also knowing what to do now. "So Rufus, what about cooking some pasta just like we did in the loft, than sitting down at the dinner table, just the two of us, having a date and opening up?" Lily glanced at Rufus having the sweetest and most adorable smile on her face. "Sure Lil!" He answers leaving another kiss at her.
I have 2 ideas for the next chapter:
1. them talking about their recent life, but also good memories from back then at the dinner
2. them going on in life, day by day, good and bad days
