I was really excited to write this chapter, hope you enjoy!
Chapter 5:
The sun was finally out, and the warm breeze spoke to Liv. She took her book, sat in the old rocking chair, and enjoyed the silence. These moments were some of Liv's favorites; just her and a good book. She was so in her own world, she jumped when she heard someone walk up the stairs leading to her house. She threw the book down, and her eyes widened.
"Drew?"
"Hey." he waved slightly.
"W-What are you doing here?" she got up from the chair slowly.
"You looked so sad yesterday, I just wanted to see if you were alright." he shrugged and walked up the rest of the stairs.
"That's really sweet of you Drew, thanks." she smiled slightly, walking closer to him.
"So, If you don't mind me asking, what happened?" he looked up finally, into her eyes.
"Well umm…" Liv bit her lip as Fitz's words played again in her mind. They never left her alone, maybe for a little bit, but then they would come back, and her heat would ace again.
"I'm sorry, maybe I should just go."
"No, please stay." Liv pleaded, and Drew nodded, smiling. She sighed and Drew stocked her cheek.
"Would you like to talk about it?" he asked in a kind voice. Liv bit her lip, and nodded. Drew led her to the rocking chair, and he sat down, opening his arms to her. She rolled her eyes, and sat on his lap. He wrapped his arms around her waist and she laid her head on his shoulder.
"Whenever you're ready." he replied.
"F-Fitz and I were arguing, again. I called him a fucking idiot-" Drew chuckled "And he ugh, called me a cunt." she wiped her tears. "And he told me t-that I wasn't worth anything, and I never will." Drew could hear the hurt in her voice, and his grip around her waist was now tighter. She turned to him, their faces barley a few inches apart. Liv jumped off his lap, and turned her back to him.
"I-I'm sorry…" he mumbled, getting off the rocking chair.
"No, it's not you, it's me. Those things Fitz said, they're true." Liv shook her head. Drew took two large strides and turned her around by the waist.
"No! Don't ever think that Liv. You're beautiful, amazing, funny, and you most certainly are worth something; especially to me." he spoke in soft words, and Liv could tell he meant what he said. She looked into his eyes, not knowing how she could have ever deny him. She had to let go of Fitz, no matter how much she loved him, because she loved Drew more now. Liv threw her arms around his neck, and kissed him as passionately as she could, and Drew kissed her back with the same intensity. They pulled away reluctantly and smiled at one another.
"Wow, Liv…" he trailed off.
"What can I say? I really like you." she smiled, blushing slightly.
"I really like you too Liv." Drew smiled. "But you're not ready for a relationship, I understand, and I'll wait." Liv put her hand on his cheek.
"I appreciate that Drew, but you don't have to."
"I want to Liv, I'm sorry, I like you too much to let go." Liv kissed his cheek.
"That's not what I meant. I mean that I'm ready for a relationship." Drew smiled.
"With me?"
"No, with my brother. Yes you!" she pushed him playfully and he laughed.
"So, I think we should do this the right way." Liv looked at him confused.
"Liv Goldsworthy."
"Yes Drew Torres."
"Will you be my girlfriend?" he asked, taking her hand in his.
"Yes, I will." she smiled and he kissed her lightly on the lips.
"I have to go, but I'll see you tomorrow, at the Dot, ten?" Liv laughed.
"I'd love to." he released her hand, and she watched him walk down the stairs, around the block, and out of sight, unable to take the smile off her face.
