Whatever you need

It became lonely in the house. Whichever house I went to held many happy memories.

And over the past few weeks, my heart has been urging me to run to her, to run to Gwendoline, but my brain stopped me.

The most exciting part was listening to the government make stupid decisions. They implemented what they call a 'five day window' over Christmas so everyone could see their loved ones.

But I wasn't able to fly out to California, where mine were. But I could go see Gwen. I should. But I didn't. I spent my first Christmas alone, moping about.

Gwendoline started texting me everyday, trying to convince me, using Taylor Swift references at every chance.

'You're the 1'

'You belong with me'

'I would marry you with paper rings'

'I hope this isn't the end to the story of us'

I mean, I found it insanely cute and heartwarming. My brain was still struggling to trust her.

What I didn't expect, was a Christmas present to turn up at my door from her.
Inside the box was picture frames, filled with photos of us or just me, with the date and place engraved on the back.

Olivia: Gwen! You didn't have to gey me anything!!

Gwenny✨️: Anything for you darling, I love you.

Olivia: I still haven't agreed to have you back.

Gwenny✨️: seduction takes time

Olivia: Oh my god you are a child!

Gwenny✨️: That makes you a pervert.

Olivia: My god I'm in love with a child😭

Gwenny✨️: So you love me?

Olivia: Never denied it

Gwenny✨️: But you said it!!!

Olivia: you are so annoying.

I just laughed at our stupid little conversation.

New years eve rolled around and I had put up all the pictures Gwen had given me, they were scattered around the house.

It would be the first year in a while I didn't have a new years kiss or that I wouldn't be with someone entirely.

I would've gone to see the fireworks but they weren't open to the public this year.

I sat on the sofa, watching mediocre tv when I realised it was almost midnight.

I switched channels and waited for the countdown.

Seconds before the countdown started, there was a furious knock. I was worried something had happened.

Swinging the door wide open, Gwen was stood there. As the clock struck midnight, she pressed her lips to mine before pulling away.

"Happy New Year! Didn't think I was going to leave you without a kiss? It's bad luck you know!" She smirked before walking back into the dark of the night.

"Wait!"

"When you're ready Olivia, I'll be here. And remember I was enchanted to meet you and it'll be a shame not to be able to call you mine again."

"Why can't my stupid ass brain convince me to leap into your arms right now!"

"Happy New Year Olivia, I wish you all the best." She smiles and leaves.

I run back inside and call Nikolaj.

N: I was asleep make it quick.

O: Gwen kissed me!

N: What the hell?

O: She just turned up seconds before midnight and kissed me.

N: Where is she now?

O: She left, I was too scared to do anything but I so badly want to forgive her Nik, so badly!

N: Then forgive her then. I may not trust her still but I want you to be happy.

O: I can't go through the heartbreak.

N: Olivia! You've been saying how for weeks she's been trying to convince you, how everything is feeling normal. And she came to your house in the middle of the night, just so you got a new years kiss, she didn't even stay. She has been using Taylor Swift references and doesn't even really like her, just does it for you! If you want it, go get her.

O: I'll think about it.

N: NO! No more thinking. Just do it.

O: Nik, please.

N: No! You've been stewing for months, even tell her to move on and break your heart even more of pick up your ass and go get your girl.

O: Ok, I will I will.

N: I expect news in a few hours.

O: You will, goodnight Nikolaj.

N: Goodnight Olivia

The call ended.

I picked up my phone to text gwen, asking if we could talk. But then there was a knock on the door.

I walked to the door and it opened to reveal the very person I was about to message.

"Can I come in?" She asks.

"Y-yeah." I stepped aside to allow her in.

I closed the door behind her and we both sat down on the sofa.

"So we need to talk." I say breathing heavily.

"Ok, what's the problem?"

"I love you Gwen. I have to learn to trust you again which I know is going to take time but I know that if we don't do this now, i don't think I'll ever be able to trust you again."

"Olivia, if you aren't ready, we can wait. I know I messed up, I know you hurt and I know Nikolaj called you and told you to do this."

"What?"

"I got a text from him asking if I could turn back and head back over to yours. If you don't want this Olivia or you aren't ready, I will wait for you, I promise. I love you and I know you know that but please, don't do this just because I want it. Whatever you need, I'm here." She smiles softly.

"I need you to. . . "
