Maeve smiles as she sees the sleeping woman beside her. She still can't believe that the woman is there. She starts tracing the woman's features, starting from her eyes down to her kissable lips. Maeve wonders what it would be like to kiss the Morena once again. However she sets aside the idea and continue tracing the woman with her pointer finger. Maeve stop right between Risa's breasts and collarbones. 

"How are you feeling?" Maeve's breath hitch at the sound of Risa's hoarse voice. She can't help but feel the butterflies swarming inside of her, so she snuggles herself to Risa, as she buries her head to the latter's neck.

"I'm feeling much better. Can we have our date now?" 

"We have to meet the people downstairs first. Plus, I have to introduce you to someone" 

"I don't want to. Can't we just have our date?"

"Evey, we've been stuck here in your room for 3 days. You're refusing to meet everyone and I'm worried" 

"I'm just. I'm afraid. I'm afraid you'll introduce me to someone and refer to her as your girlfriend" Maeve finally said the truth. Ever since the day that she collapsed, she can't help but wonder who's the girl. She doesn't want to ask Risa, afraid that the answer would be something that she won't ever like.

"Evey, if I have a girlfriend, I wouldn't have agreed to go on a date with you. If you're wondering who's Yvonne in my life then I'll tell you, she's just a friend I met while I was travelling in Rome. Plus, that girl is crazy over Brian" Risa chuckles as the memory of her showing Brian's picture to Yvonne. This made the doctor go wild and ask the Morena to introduce her to the man every single day. 

Risa chuckles once again as she feel Maeve's tight hold in her arms. Risa know she's being possessive as of the moment and even though she wants to tease the latter, a possessive and jealous Maeve is actually hard to tame. 

"Relax, she's all yours." Yvonne said as she rolls her eyes but still gives a teasing smile to Maeve. 

Fion decided to enter the house in that exact moment as he plops himself in one of the sofa. 

"How did it go?" Brian asked as he handed Yvonne her morning coffee

"Ugh! Lilian's upset at me. I mean, how am I supposed to know that fuchsia pink and pink are different? I mean it's still the same color, isn't it?"

"You're hopeless" Brian commented which earned a nod from everyone. 

"I love to stay and chat more but the little princess here wants to go. Talk to you guys later?" Risa asked and got a teasing smile from everyone as a response. 

"The Amusement park?" Risa asked as she sees the different rides outside the premises

"Y-you don't like it?" Maeve nervously asked as she examines the woman's reaction

"W-we can go somewhere else just tell me where you wanna go, we'll be there, I'll take you there"

"Evey, relax. You're rumbling. Don't worry. I love it. It's just, it's been long since I've been in an amusement park"

"When's the last time you've been in an amusement park?"

"Probably the time when you and I went here for the first time" Risa smiles at the memory. 

The two decided to recreate the memories they had, only this time, they try the rides that they haven't back then. It was five in the afternoon when they decided to go to the park and yes, it's the same park they have been back then. 

"What are you thinking?" Maeve asked at the silent Risa

"That the only thing missing are the picnic mat, sandwhiches, and chess board" Risa smiles as she remembers the memory, but when she sees the brunette give her a tight smile, she can't help but ask herself if she said something wrong.

"When you left, I came back to the places where we have used to spent our time together.  I was hoping,  praying, that maybe, you'll be there. That just like me,  you missed where our traces have been" Maeve seriously said as she looks at the little kids playing afar.

"You must have been lonely."

"I was lonely. But somehow I knew that I deserved it. There's not a single day where I didn't blame myself. A thousand of what ifs keeps on coming each night that I can't sleep. What if I didn't hurt you?  What if I realized what I feel before any of those nights happened. And what if I believe in you that night" Maeve couldn't help but crack a voice.  She feel embarrased for crying in front of the woman she loves, she promise she won't cry anymore but here she is, doing it again.

"Que Sera, Sera. While I was travelling, I heard this phrase from a stranger that I met. It means 'What will be, will be' somehow, the phrase made me understand everything more.  I think everything that happened are supposed to happen. We were still young back then, Evey.  We made mistakes, we ran from our mistakes but now that we're grown ups, we're bound to correct everything. I forgive you for what you have done. So I hope you'll find it in you to forgive yourself too" Maeve said as she intertwine their hands together.

Maeve couldn't help but look at the pair of emerald eyes staring at her. She couldn't help but to lean closer to the Morena. She misses her. Everything of her. And she promised to herself to do everything just to make the girl hers. Maeve used her other hand to trace the woman's collarbone down to her chest letting her hand rest there as she focus once again on the Morena's eyes.

Maeves lips turn into a smile as she feels the loud beating of heart that she have been dreaming to hear and feel again. Risa's breath hitch as she looks how the brunette's eyes looks between her eyes and lips. Risa couldn't help but lick and part her lips as the brunette leans closer.

The two let out a sigh of relieve as their lips meet together for a slow and loving kiss. The brunette tilts her head to deepen the kiss. Risa gasps, giving the brunette an entrance. The Morena couldn't help but let out a shaky moan as Maeve's hands starts to go dangerously close to her upper tigh.

"Ugh!  Seriously,  disgusting gays!" A man exclaimed, looking at their direction, this cause some people to look at them, making Risa pushed the brunette. Maeve sighs at the distraction, but still cups the Morena's face as she leans once again.

"M-maeve, people are looking"

"Then let them, I don't care. I love you,  Risa. I would literally die if I let you slip in my arms once again.  I had lost you countless of times before because of my own fear, but I'm not gonna do the same mistake again. I don't care what anyone say to me. I love you." Maeve said sincerely,  letting the tears silently fall from her eyes before she leans once again and give Risa another kiss.
