A/n: Attendance, you all?

(Don't judge me, I just always wanted to do that 😭)

Pov y/n

It is a very casual Friday, I go to work and afterwards I have swim training. But other than on most Fridays, Rose won't join me later on for a swimming lesson because she's meeting a friend today.

I would have loved a swimming lesson because I love spending time with her but I totally understand that she wants to meet her friend. So, I go back home after my training.

I text Scarlett that my training was fun and that I'll go work on Rose's treehouse now because she asked me to keep her updated.

She hasn't replied since this morning but I suppose she is just busy and I push thoughts that say otherwise away.

Since it's actually a nice day outside, I decide to walk to her house.

When I enter I stop and frown a little. It smells more like her than usual.

That's a weird way to say it but everyone has a natural scent and hers is also noticeable when entering the house.

The last time I was here, it was more fainted though but maybe that's just an illusion because it's been a little while since I've been here.

I shrug to myself and walk through to her garden. It's still a little strange to walk around the empty house but I got used to it a little.

I reach the trees where I started to build the treehouse and smile proudly to myself. It's not finished yet, that'll take a lot more work but it is a pretty good start and I am proud of myself for building this so far because I've never done this before and it actually looks pretty good.

I used a ladder to reach up to where I nailed the first few wooden planks to the tree. And once I was sure they are stable, I attached a hanging ladder for me to climb up on and later on for Rose to use.

I fastened the other wooden planks as well, so the platform is all done and secured now. Just for stabilization, I attached a pier underneath the middle of the platform, to ensure it wouldn't break.

Last time I started on the railing, so Rose won't accidentally fall off. I started where the ladder leads up because the railing also helps to climb up and makes it easier for me.

I spend around three hours measuring wood and cutting it before getting it up onto the platform and building a railing out of it.

Half of it is done now and the other pieces are in the right length for me to finish the other half the next time. It got dark, almost to a point where I can't see what I'm doing anymore, so I had to stop.

I put the wood back to where I store it and leave the house, locking it.

On my way back, I check my phone to see if Scarlett texted back but she hasn't yet. I sigh a little, I kinda hoped to see a new text but it's okay, I know she has very busy days sometimes.

My stomach growls and when I get back to my apartment, I get started on dinner.

When my phone buzzes, I take a look and smile when I see it's Scarlett, replying to the messages I sent her.

We chat for a little while and she tells me that she won't be able to call me tonight because she won't be home until very late. I tell her it's okay, but she knows me better than this and assures me, I'll get to see her very soon again.

I have dinner and decide to watch a movie before going to bed.

The next day starts off normal and I go to the store to buy some groceries. Just as I am about to think about what I could do today, I get a text from Scarlett.

Scarlett: Hey, angel. Can you do me a favor and go to the house to check on the backyard? I heard there was a storm last night?

I look at the text in surprise, I didn't know there was a storm here but maybe I slept through it.

Although, the streets didn't look like there was a storm tonight either.

But I text her that I'll go to check on it, not wanting her to worry.

I get ready and head to her house.

When I enter, I once again have the feeling that her scent is more present than usual but shrug it off again before getting out of my shoes to slip into the garden ones on the little porch outside.

I walk through the hallway and into the living room and kitchen.

A noise escapes me that is something between a squeal and a cheer.

She's standing there, in the middle of the living room.

My eyes almost pop out of my head and I look at her in disbelieve, a tiny smirk forming on her lips. How can she be here?

Wasn't she in LA just a few minutes back?

"You're not greeting me?" She asks with that tiny smirk but a soft voice.

And as if a switch was flipped, I get out of my daze and run up to her.

She opens her arms and a total rush of excitement floods through me as I run into her arms. They wrap around me tightly as she balances out the force I brought with me when running into her.

I hug her tightly, not really believing this is real but even if it isn't, I would still hug her like this.

She presses kisses to my temple and the butterflies in my stomach go crazy.

Her hands hold the back of my head, gently playing with my hair as I breathe in her scent, starting to relax.

I slowly pull away, my arms still around her shoulders. She smiles softly at me and brushes some hair behind my ear.

"Surprise." She whispers and I almost feel tears in my eyes at how happy I am right now.

"You're really here." I whisper back and she nods, cupping my face.

"I am, angel." She replies and my heart skips a beat when her eyes shortly dart down to my lips.

"Can I have a kiss?"

I grin widely and nod, pulling her closer to me and connecting our lips. It's been a while since I last kissed her but it feels so natural as if we were never separated.

She tastes sweet and I sink into the kiss, her hands finding my waist and holding me close.

Her tongue brushes over my bottom lip and I part my lips to let her in.

Our tongues dance together in a slow pace, the kiss being sweet, gentle and full of love. We need to pull away when air becomes a problem and I lean my forehead against hers.

"I love you." I mumble and she nudges my nose a little with hers.

"I love you." She replies and pecks my lips.

"I will never let you go." I whisper and she chuckles, her arms wrapping around me a little more.

"That's okay, you can have me this whole day." She hums and I sigh happily.

"How are you here?" I ask and lean back a little to be able to look at her. Her eyes are as green as ever and I get totally lost in them.

"I had a bit of time off, so I decided to fly back and visit my favorite woman." She tells me and I feel the butterflies doing flips in my stomach at her words.

"How long are you gonna stay?" I ask and lift one finger up to trace over her face, trying to memorize every single bit of it.

"My flight back is Monday around noon." She tells me and I stop tracing her face and pout.

"That's not a lot of time." I say and she takes my hand from her face to kiss the tip of my finger and then the back of my hand.

"I know, but it's better than not seeing you at all." She replies and I nod in agreement.

"What about Rose? She probably wants to see you too."

Scar nods and intertwines her fingers with mine.

"She already did. I spent yesterday with her, picking her up from school. And we'll see her tomorrow again, so today I am all yours." She explains and I push out my bottom lip a little.

"You were back for a day and didn't tell me?" I ask and she leans forward, pecking my lips until I stop sulking.

"Yes, because I wanted to surprise you." She tells me softly and I sigh but smile a little, making her smile as well.

"There it is, the smile of my beautiful girl." She says and I blush a little at her words.

The fingertips of her other hand trace from my left cheek, over my nose to my right cheek.

"I missed making you blush." She whispers, watching her fingertips on my face. I huff a little.

"Only that?" I ask playfully offended. Scarlett laughs a little and cups my face.

"No, I pretty much missed everything about you." She admits and I smile, turning my head and kissing her palm.

"I wanted to see you so badly since that day with the rumors." She tells me and I look into her eyes, a slight bit of worry showing.

"Me too." I admit and she rubs my cheek with her thumb.

"I am still sorry for not replying and I hope I can make it up to you today." She says and I shake my head a little.

"It's okay, you already apologized multiple times, I forgave you." I assure her but she just hums.

"Still, I wanna spend an amazing day with you." She decides and I smile.

"I won't ever say no to that." I smile and kiss her softly. She returns the kiss just as soft and I can't help it but to smile into it.

I only pull away for a little air before pressing my lips back onto hers.

This time I lick over her bottom lip and she grants me entrance, so I explore her mouth before challenging her tongue for a duel.

Her hands move down my body, holding onto my waist as mine are buried in her hair. She lightly taps the backs of my thighs and I get the signal and jump up, wrapping my legs around her hips. Her hands hold me up, our kiss never breaking.

It turned a little hungry since we both missed this. Her teeth lightly graze over my bottom lip and I sigh a little at the feeling. She smirks a little and starts walking until I feel the wall in my back. Her body presses a little more against mine and my heart rate starts to pick up.

The next time she licks over my bottom lip, I deny her entrance, smirking a little. But when her hands grab my butt and give it a squeeze, I gasp and she is able to push her tongue into my mouth.

When we need to pull away for air, she sucks in my bottom lip and pulls it with her a little before releasing it with a little plop, sending shivers down my spine.

I pant a tiny bit from all the kissing and lean my head back against the wall. Her lips are quick to find my neck and she kisses it, nibbling a bit on the skin and I sigh at the feeling.

"I missed this." I say a little breathlessly and her lips press one last kiss to my jaw before she pulls away.

"Me too." She agrees. I rest my head against hers, just enjoying her being here with me. She takes a step back and lets go of my butt but I don't unwrap my legs from her and she chuckles a little.

"You don't wanna let go, little koala baby?" She asks and I shake my head, making her smile softly.

Her hands come back to hold me up and she puckers her lips, so I give her a kiss.

Scarlett walks to the couch, sitting down on it and I let go of her and move to sit sidewards on her lap, her hands resting on my thighs.

"So, what are the plans for today?" I ask and look at her.

"I thought about taking you out on a fancy date but then I'd had to share you with the outside world and I wanna have as much alone time with you as possible. So, I thought we could take a walk through the park, maybe sit down in a café and then head back home, to spend the afternoon together, doing whatever we want. And last but not least, I will cook mac and cheese tonight for dinner." She tells me and my eyes light up.

"I get your infamous mac and cheese?" I ask excitedly and she smiles softly and rubs my thigh a little.

"Yes, you do. You get anything you want today." She answers, pure love in her eyes and I could cry again at how happy she makes me right now.

"I love you, bug." I say and her smile widens.

"I love you more." She replies but I shake my head.

"Not possible."

"Very well possible."

We stare into each other's eyes for a few moments and I get totally lost, forgetting what we just talked about and admiring her emerald eyes.

Once we are both back to reality after getting lost, we get up and ready for our walk.

The sun is out today and is already a little warmer, which feels really nice on my skin.

I hold Scarlett's hand, not letting go, almost afraid she'll disappear and all of this turns out to be a dream.

She tells me a little about her past weeks and I listen to her, happy to hear her voice again and feel her hand in mine.

I laugh when she tells me how Lizzie got stuck in a few wires during a scene and they had to free her.

We make our way to a little café and grab a muffin each and something to drink. The café is small but very comfortable and has a nice view on the park.

Now it's my turn to tell Scarlett about my time without her and she listens intently, seeming genuinely interested. When I tell her about Rose's 'snow day', she presses her lips a little together but doesn't say anything about it.

Her expression changes though when I tell her about Rose's birthday and how all the children had a blast piling on me. She laughs at that and thanks me for hosting Rose's birthday party and making her day special.

When she was with Rose yesterday, she gave her the present she bought and Rose told her all about how great her birthday was.

I smile widely at her and tell her it was my honor.

We talk some more about what has been going on while walking home.

"Lizzie told me the date for her wedding." Scarlett informs me and I look at her, waiting for her to go on.

"April 22nd. That's during spring break, so Rose has free and can come over. It's a Saturday, so you should be free as well." She tells me and I nod, I don't have to work on Saturdays.

"Isn't it a little...I don't know, stressful to come over for the weekend? I mean, I would totally do that but I don't know about Rose, since she doesn't like planes and the train ride to LA is very long." I think out loud and frown a little in thought. Scarlett nods.

"It is and that wouldn't fit, you couldn't get into the train Friday after work and be there in time for Lizzie's wedding." She agrees and I hum, a little disappointed that I'm not able to make it because I was really looking forward to it.

"That's why I hoped you could come over during spring break. Then you'd be there for her wedding and you would also have some days in LA to explore and everything. I'm not sure how much we need to film then but it shouldn't be much anymore, just the last few scenes." She tells me about her plan and my eyes widen a little.

"You want me to visit you in LA? I've never been to California at all." I say, suddenly excited about the possibility.

"Of course. If I could, I would have taken you with me when I went in the first place but that's not possible. But maybe if you can get a week off at work, you could come visit." She says and squeezes my hand.

"I will ask asap on Monday, I'm sure they'll give me a week off." I say determined and she chuckles a bit and lifts my hand up to give it a kiss.

"Great, text me when you know more, so we can plan it and then we can also think about if there is any other way for you than to take the train." She says and I nod, promising to text her as soon as I know something.

We arrive back at her house and get in, getting out if our shoes and coats and washing our hands and Scarlett also washes her face because she says it felt like a tiny fly flew into her eye in the park.

I settle down on the couch while waiting for her. A small smile tugs on my lips at the thought of her finally being here again after I missed her for the last few weeks.

When she comes into the living room, I make grabby hands at her and her expression goes completely soft and she comes to stand in front of me.

"You want me to pick you up or to cuddle you?" She asks and I think about it before smirking a tiny bit.

"Pick me up. It's attractive when your muscles flex." I tell her and she playfully rolls her eyes.

"Okay then." She says and a mischievous spark lights up in her eyes, making me a little curious.

She takes my hands and tugs me to stand up, which confuses me a little. In one quick motion, she leans down a little and wraps her arms around me and I squeal in surprise when she lifts me over her shoulder.

"That wasn't what I meant." I giggle and she snickers, swatting my butt.

"Hey, I can do that too." I complain playfully and smack her butt lightly, making her laugh.

"So, where do you wanna go?" She asks as I prop myself a little up on her back, so the entirety of my blood won't flow into my head.

"Pff." I make and she laughs before carefully setting me back onto the ground again. She brushes some hair out of my face.

"Better?" She asks and kisses my lips.

"Much better." I reply and smile after the kiss.

"I missed your lips." She says a bit sheepishly. I kiss her nose and wrap my arms around her waist.

"That's okay, I missed yours too." I reply and she sighs a little when I kiss her.

"You know what I also missed?" She asks and a smirk forms on her lips, that almost tells me what she is on about but I play dumb and shake my head.

"What?" I ask and by my tone she can probably tell I already know but she doesn't mind. She leans closer to my ear and I can feel her hot breath, making me shiver a little.

"Making you feel good." She husks and I bite my lip to contain myself.

"It's been a while." I agree and she chuckles lowly and kisses the spot beneath my ear before kissing down my neck.

"I wanna make love to you." She whispers against my skin and I get goosebumps and nod.

"Yes, I would like that." I say, my voice breaking a little when her hands slide around my body to my butt.

"Jump." She mumbles against my skin and I do so. Her hands hold me up and her lips find my skin again, kissing it while walking towards the stairs.

For a second I think she'll put me down so we can walk upstairs but she continues to carry me and I am more than impressed.

I tilt my head to the side to give her better access when she starts to kiss the other side of my neck. She kicks the door to her bedroom open and closes it, carefully pushing me against it.

I gasp a little when my back comes in contact with the door.

She uses that moment to kiss me, slipping her tongue into my mouth. I hold her face in my hands and pull her a little closer to me, deepening the kiss a little more.

Her body presses against mine and her hips grind a little against my core, making me moan silently into the kiss. She smirks and sucks on my bottom lip before letting go of it and looking into my eyes.

I feel excitement rushing through my body when I see her eyes are hooded with lust.

She grabs my butt a little tighter and I feel heat traveling down my body as she walks us to the bed, placing me down onto it gently.

Her lips connect back with mine and her hands move from my face to my hips where her fingers trace the skin underneath my sweater.

"Can I take this off?" She asks and tugs on my sweatshirt. I nod and sit up a little to make it easier for her.

She pulls it over my head, her eyes staying on mine the whole time.

When I tug a little on her shirt, she lifts her arms in silent agreement and I pull it off her, dropping it to the ground as well. My hands run over her back and I feel her warm, soft skin against my fingers, smiling softly.

"I missed this feeling." I whisper and her eyes fill with love and she kisses me sweetly.

"Me too." She mumbles and lets her hands roam over my stomach, letting them rest right above the waistline of my pants.

I lift my hips before she can ask and she chuckles a little before opening my pants and pulling them off.
