Chapter 12: Monday DinnersA week passed by and Gigi did not hear from Liz at all, and it was not like she wanted to have something to do with her. Well, maybe she did, but she was still kind of mad because of the almost-kiss and was so embarrassed by her attitude that she decided to forget about Liz once again. And, to be honest, she was doing a great job. She started seeing her friends more and they kind of recovered the same relationship they had before Gigi left. Most of them had a lot of free time like her so they would hang out just to enjoy each other's company. Gigi kind of felt sixteen all over again, she was living her old girl fantasy going to the mall with Jayla and trying new clothes with Nicky. She was having fun at home and she even was talking with her dad more. "Guess who's coming today?" Gigi's mom asked with excitement. They were in the living room watching some stupid TV show. "I don't know and I hate surprises so please tell me." Answered Gigi who had to lay on
Chapter 13: Dinner Time!Gigi and Liz went downstairs and Gigi finally said hello to everybody, she hated being rushed and she hated that her makeup was not flawlessly done because she had to go downstairs that quickly. After greeting Liz's parents, they all sat down at the big table her mom and her had thoroughly prepared for the evening. Almost on purpose, Liz and Gigi decided to seat right in front of each other. "I've prepared a vegetarian menu for you Liz" Gigi's mom was the sweetest soul on Earth. "So, you're a vegetarian now, huh?" Gigi almost spitted. "You should try it, Gigi, it takes some of your guilts away" Liz took a piece of bread and put it in her mouth "Well, you don't care about animals anyway, do you?" Shady Liz was back in action ladies and gentlemen, she could be nice being at Gigi's room but outside, she was not going to be that nice. "I have more important things to care about right now but thank you for your concern" Gigi moved her body to be more comfortabl
Chapter 14: Can We Talk?"Moving out isn't easy. I imagine that Gigi struggled a lot with the fact that she had to leave her family, friends, and Liz behind. Right?" Gigi thought it was funny how Joan talked about her past relationship so lightly without putting Liz into the friends or family category. "It was a nightmare. The first couple of days I wasn't even able to eat or sleep, I was homesick. Luckily I have the coolest roommate ever and she helped me a lot Gigi explained while Liz couldn't take her eyes off her. Could it be possible that Gigi had also had a bad time when she left? She soon realized she had never thought about how Gigi must have felt. For Liz, Gigi did not care at all and she just left to pursue a better life, which was fine, but she hated that she got to be happy and she was still crying laying in bed. Liz had just assumed Gigi was fine and she was the miserable one. Joan touched Gigi's hand to show her she felt sorry for her and then the subject quickly chang
Chapter 15: Nicky"Do you think I look good or are you lying to me because I'm your friend?" Nicky looked like a model who had just gotten out of Victoria's Secret runway. Her long legs, thin body, and completely symmetric face were the perfect combination. And not to mention her charming French accent, she was truly a delight. She was trying a cute little dress and cared about Gigi's opinion. Even though Gigi hadn't been studying Fashion for that long, in her friends' fantasy she was already better than Donatella Versace herself. Nicky and Gigi were shopping, as usual, walking through the main avenue of Illinois. There, some pretty and fancy stores could be found and, of course, they were getting into all of them. Even though Nicky loved expensive clothes and was living her "I only wear designing clothes" fantasy while Gigi was a more thrift shop girl who loved testing fabrics and their textures, Gigi could never say no to Nicky. So, they would always spend many hours together tryin
Chapter 16: What Are You Doing Here?Gigi needed to organize her life. She felt guilty for not doing anything at all for almost a whole week. She deserved to have a rest, of course, but she did not want to spend her other two months of free time lying in bed, so she decided to find a part-time job. She had one in LA that she liked so much and even though she did not think she was going to find another one as good as that one, she decided to try. Back in LA, she worked as an assistant in a shop. She loved seeing how clients turned new looks thanks to her recommendations or when they gave her extra tips for the attention, she felt like she was more than at home when she was working surrounded by clothes. And also, the extra money gave her a little bit more economic freedom, something she craved. Her mom told her a friend of hers needed help with her children and that maybe Gigi could babysit them for a couple of hours every day. Gigi hated children. She once had to be in charge of a cl
Chapter 17: Liz Is Here!"Liz!" The two kids yelled while they ran to hugged Liz immediately. Gigi did not want to admit it but it was the cutest thing she had ever seen during her short years of life. Liz was always sweeter and better with kids than her, she was just so magnetic that every single person in the room wanted to be around her, and that included kids. And the fact that the love was mutual, was mind-blowing. Liz's heart was something else. "Gigi, Liz is here!" Camille was super excited, almost yelling, and Gigi half-smiled in return. The situation was just too cute for her. Liz stood on her knees and gave them some candies she had in her pockets. "Before I give you more candies, you'll have to hug me again" Liz threatened as a joke and both of them hugged her tightly. "And ask Gigi if you can eat all this before dinner, she's the boss right now" Gigi's heart was about to completely melt. She almost forgot how confused she was that Liz was there in the first place. "Gigi
Chapter 18: My Coolest Girlfriend"They are cute, aren't they?" Liz murmured while she observed the little kids enjoying the candies she had just gave them. Some minutes ago, they were pleasantly watching a movie and now they were almost fighting for the remote to change the channel, but it was still cute. "It is a pleasure taking care of them." Gigi sighted. She hadn't realized that she cared about them until that moment. Of course, she had only been working there for a week and she always knew she liked them, but? She really liked them. "Out of all the jobs existing in the world, this is the last one I thought you would take. You hate infants" Liz laughed and Gigi was glad that she had changed the subject from that uncomfortable conversation they were having. "Remember when you had to take over Mr. Claxon's class? You almost came running out of there!" Liz clearly remembered every single minute she had passed next to Gigi, even if she sometimes chose to forget them. "I was about t
Chapter 19: She Does Have Emotions"Are you okay with me staying? I don't know" Liz asked Gigi and the blonde was just surprised that Liz did not deny the offer right away. Gigi was speechless but could manage to nod to make Liz understand that she was more than welcomed to stay. Not to mention she wanted her to stay, she always had a good time when Liz was around (well, not always). Camille and Tom stared at Liz with the softest looks on their faces and she also secretly wanted to spend more time with Gigi so she said yes to the movie proposal. At the end of the day, she had nothing better to do and she liked the kids. After a long fight, even with Gigi raising her voice, they decided to watch Coco. A terrible idea. Liz saw Gigi crying the entire time but she found it cute. She couldn't stop starring at her, it was almost toxic. But Gigi simply was the cutest, her perfect red nose and her cute eyes were eye-catching and Liz enjoyed gazing at the blonde's facial expressions while wat
