You Are So Beautiful

Elliot's POV

Here am I. In this winter ball thing. Why am I here? Well…to be honest I'm just here to see my beautiful partner who I'm in love with. I'm in the middle of the ball room standing alone. I start looking for the gang. And then I see her… Man! She is breathtaking… and that dress is hugging her body in all the right places… I wish I could be that dress. I stand behind her and put my hand on her waist, she freezes and before she could turn around ( Most lightly to break my arm). I Chuckle

-Hey Liv…

She says hi and turns around… and I'm just blown away, the sight is even more beautiful at the front.

-You look beautiful tonight Liv

As usual she doesn't accept 'cuz she thinks I'm giving her pity compliments, jeez why this woman doesn't understand how stunning she is? Instead she makes a comment on my look for the evening.

-Thank you. That's true I don't look bad. But could you just take the compliment and deal with the fact that you're stunning tonight?

-I thought I was beautiful…

- You are both beautiful and stunning okay?

- I don't think so but thanks anyway

- You really are something don't you?

We both laugh, she is so stubborn, we walk to our table, and we're alone for the first time in awhile. We don't do this anymore… act like best friends. It made me realize how much I miss her. I've been kind of avoiding her, is just that… it hurts. I love her so much and I just can't be around her a long time anymore 'cuz I just want to hold her real close to me and make all that pain go away, but I can't do it, I cannot be there the way that I want to be, because she'll never feel the way I do, it will ruin our friendship, our partnership. It would be awkward, she would run away from me, or think that I want to take advantage of her and without her I … I'm nothing I just couldn't make it . So the words are never coming out of my mouth, as much as it does hurt for me to see her with other men and to see her get hurt… I won't say a thing … It's for the best.

I hope.
