The Story Of Us

Longingly looking

No one's POV:

"Uh- you too, Ms. Johansson." That simply broke Scarlett's heart, hearing it directly from the woman she loves until now.

Hearing how Y/n say her name like that, felt so foreign, that it makes her stomach churn in a very bad way. It makes her skin have goosebumps.

Scarlett felt Y/n wiggle out of her arms, and as much as she wants to hold her girl a little more longer, she didn't want to act crazy so she let her go, much to her dismay. Her gaze met Y/n, she's longingly looking at her ex wife, Y/n saw that, as she looks at Scarlett with mixed emotions.

Scarlett step away from Y/n, as Y/n did the same. They both held their gaze at each other, too busy to each other that they didn't notice the people they are with are now gone, leaving the two of them alone.

"H-how have you been? I-i...i missed you." Scarlett said, her arms aching with want to be wrapped around on Y/n's body.

Scarlett saw the hesitation on Y/n's eyes from replying, but nonetheless, Y/n replied unsurely.

"I'm...good. Amazing, even. What about you?" Y/n asked, completely ignoring the second sentence of Scarlett.

Scarlett felt as if someone pinch her heart at the ignorance of Y/n on expressing what she felt from Y/n's disappearance. Scarlett is looking down on Y/n longingly, trying to catch the avoiding gaze of Y/n, but Y/n seems to have more interest on the place they're currently in.

"I'm uh- fine. You still look so beautiful as ever, my love." Scarlett said, before cursing herself mentally for slipping the nickname. But somehow, she thanked herself for slipping, because it made Y/n look at her, even if there's a confuse frown on her favorite woman's face, atleast Y/n's attention is on her now.

"Sorry, i got used to it." Scarlett chuckled nervously.

"It's- it's fine. And thank you for the compliment, tho. By the way, you still look gorgeous." Y/n said, adding a smile to her face, trying to ease the awkwardness around them.

"Thank you. So...anything exciting that had happened to you in those years?" Scarlett asked interestingly.

I accepted the IVF. We have a daughter. You have a daughter to me. Y/n wanted to tell Scarlett everything, but her cowardness stopped her.

"Nothing too interesting..." Y/n shrugged, giving Scarlett a tight smile for a second. "What about you? I heard, well, more like i saw, that...you already have someone. I'm happy for you." Y/n said, looking into Scarlett's eyes.

Y/n saw something in it, as she gaze at Scarlett's eyes, it's like Scarlett is talking to her through her eyes. So many things to be said, but not even a word came out. Now, it's Y/n's turn to look at Scarlett longingly, but this time, along with pain.

"Don't worry, it's okay." Y/n started reassuringly, seeing as Scarlett is somehow frozen from where she stood, still trying to find the right words to say.

No, it's not okay.

"I'm really happy for you, i hope she'll be your last. I mean, we're getting older day by day, you know." Y/n said chuckling playfully.

"I still love you."

Even Scarlett was surprised at the words that came out from her mouth. It was like everything had stopped, everything felt so silence for once. Both of them couldn't move a single limb, they are both looking at each other in shock.

"I never stopped."

Scarlett never felt so nervous in her life, but other than, she felt as if everything that is inside her came out. All the words that had been wanting to get out of her, all the pressure is now out there, and damn, did it felt so good.
