AN:

Okay honesty time. I've had this sitting on my computer since I posted the first chapter but I wasn't ready to post it. I hate- hate ending fics. It makes me all weepy. That being said today I puled out the tissues and did a final edit on this. I could go on for another fifty or sixty chapters but I'm not one of those writers. This was just a little something to get my feet wet on the pair and now that I have I can work on something longer.

Thanks to everyone who read or comment on this fic. A very special thanks to my Roomie. Without out I would have never ventured in to writing LiLo.

Chapter Five

It was early afternoon by the time Lorenzo finally made it home. At the moment, all he wanted was a shower and some sleep. Neither of which was very likely now. Elizabeth had practically pounced on the second Lorenzo walked in. It made him feel good knowing she had been worried. Maybe this situation wasn't the disaster he imagined. "I'm alright Elizabeth I promise."

"I know." she said pulling away her cheeks red from embarrassment. "I mean I can see that. I missed you."

"That's good to know. After last night I was worried."

"Lorenzo I never meant to hurt you."

He waited until they were both settled on the couch to reply. "I know Sweetie. I can't make you love me."

"You don't have to."

"What are you saying?" Lorenzo asked pushing gently.

"That I love you."

"You don't have to..."

"I know and I know I love you. I'm just so scared."

"I know you are and I can't promise I won't hurt you. But I love you so much and I would never ever hurt you on purpose. If you can believe that then I know the rest will work itself out."

"You know so huh?" Elizabeth teased before turning serious. "You know last night after you left I couldn't sleep. I kept thinking what if something happen. What if you never knew that I love you?"

"I never doubted you love me. I just need you to trust me too."

"I promise to try."

"Fair enough."

"Last night... does it mean things are settled?" Elizabeth asked almost hesitantly. She knew she might not get an answer or even worse that it was business. Except this time, it felt personal.

"I found the persons responsible yes."

"This mean Cam and I can leave right?" When Lorenzo hesitated, Elizabeth immediately got upset. "No Lorenzo you promised me.

"I know I did and I'm not trying to trick you into staying I swear," he promised pulling her to him. The last thing he wanted was to ruin their progress.

"Then why can't we go?"

"Corinthos and Morgan know about us and Cameron."

"How did this happen?"

"Jason guessed. He isn't stupid Elizabeth. It wasn't hard to figure out why I am so protective of the two of you."

"I guess not. So this means we have to stay," she said with a sigh. Elizabeth knew what Lorenzo was thinking. They wouldn't be in this apartment much longer. She would bet he was already looking. Elizabeth should have been annoyed buy the idea but instead it made her happy.

"It means your apartment isn't secure enough anymore."

"You would know since you bought the building."

"True." he said with a smirk. Unable to resist he kissed Elizabeth softly. "So you'll stay? I promise not to pressure you."

Elizabeth rolled her eyes and sighed. She knew this was going to happen the moment she stepped foot in this place. However, the last few days had changed everything. To be honest Elizabeth no longer wanted to leave. "I'll stay."
