it was like the events from the new yearβs party were months prior, when in reality itβs been a few days. days filled with anxiety, doubt and the chest tightening feeling of immense guilt. ava must be so happy right now, looking down at georgie.. or, wellβ up. the blonde van buren has spent the whole morning tidying up the mess she has caused in her apartment- most of the canvases were hidden in her bedroom, the most visible paint stains she managed to clean up and she almost felt calm and collected, until she fished in her pocket to take out her phone and check the time, realizing caspian should come soon. what was she thinking inviting him over when her penthouse and well.. life was a whole, unreversible mess. and she was not even the slightest bit worried about him seeing a few paint stains that sheβd have handled once her artistic burst is over, but instead, it was the mess inside her that was making her pace around the kitchen- wondering if she should change her clothes or not. was she really about to tell him about the most traumatic night of her life? she wanted to, but while her demons were calm and quiet, letting her enjoy caspian at the party- right now they were rioting, causing havoc and a killer headache. βwhat the hell am i doing?β the van buren murmured to herself before stepping closer to the fridge to pour herself a glass of water and take a sip in an attempt to calm herself down.Β βso what if he finds out? whatβs the worst that could happen?β the girl asked, a moment of silence following shortly after when she realized she was indeed talking to herself.Β βi have gone completely mad.β she admitted with a sigh and left the glass on the kitchen counter to walk towards the huge sofa in the nearby living room and let her body fall down on it- wanting to rest for just a second and have her mind calm down for maybe a moment. lord knows how caspian could react and georgina sure as hell was not ready to talk- but if he asked, if it comes down to choosing between lying and being honest with him, she was going to suck it up and finally admit to the man she loves that she is indeed messed up.Β

ITβS TAKING EVERYTHING IN HIM TO HOLD BACK from pinching himself and actually believe that the past few days were reality. heβs not a romantic. has convinced himself over years with accompanying eye-rolls as his closest friends got into cutesy relationships that he is NOT a romantic. romance is for the weak. for cinema and not for real life. yet, that afternoon as heβs heading over to see georgie for the umpteenth time in just a few days, he finds himself following his feet into a florist just to buy her a bouquet of flowers. resisted when the pretty shop girl had effortlessly twirled her hair around her finger as she had leant over the glass counter in an offering of more than just lillies. because itβs different now. like all those mopey love songs heβd scoffed at make sense as he hums one to himself as he makes his way to georginaβs apartment, itβs as if heβs seeing in life in technicolour for the first time. the grey, dirtied sidewalks of new york illuminated in daylight for the first time without the aid of a drug, only being highlighted further as he greets the buildingβs doorman on the way up the elevator. ever so chipper. even if his returning to los angeles looms in the background to their every meeting.Β he tries his best to rein himself in before knocking at her door. standing outside for a second with his phone in hand to drop her a message instead of knocking just in case sheβs painting and canβt hear the door. sure, theyβve come so far as admitting they love one another, but what if he scares her off now by looking over-eager? what if she runs back to italy as heβs throwing himself in too deep? hiding the purple tiger lilies behind his back, he texts her with his free hand,Β βyou know it just dawned on me that the last time i was here like this you said you were gonna burn my jacket.β heΒ tilts his head fondly as he looks at his screen before sending one more message,Β βthat means iβm outside ur door btw.βΒ
