Lizzy
That was pretty easy, “didn’t you say you hate chocolates?” I ask utterly confused by his sudden change of heart. “Didn’t you hear me? I said I’d do anything for you” oh god! He is giving me that cheeky smile again, this will never get old. ‘Anything for me?’ that is too big of a promise to keep, anyway it is good to hear so I don’t mind, “alright then, why don’t you try this one for me?” I say handing him one of my newest combinations.
He takes it and I look at him expectantly, it’s taken almost a month to master this one and if it fails…well…if it fails, I’ll have to try harder. I know Mark is the best choice for this because he isn’t biased, and I can always count on him for honest answers. He took a slow bite and my eyes immediately snapped to his lips, dark from the chocolate and so luscious I had the sudden urge to bite on them but

Lizzy“Where are you going to meet me?” I asked Mia on the phone, “your apartment, I’ll hire a cab” hmm…alright then, ‘we are actually doing this’. The last time I went to a club it was a complete disaster, after that I made sure to avoid them as much as I could. Some things are better left behind but when Mia used her ‘not so happy tone’ I couldn’t say ‘no’. Besides, things are actually looking good for me for the last couple of days and I could use some celebrating.“Also, I left out an itsy-bitsy detail” Mia says in a slow measured voice, “uh-huh doesn’t sound good, what are you hiding?” I ask a little worried about who she might’ve invited this time. “Just my brother Noah and his boyfriend Jax” oh no! This is not looking good for me, Noah practically hates me and we can’t stand each other even for a second. I wanted a

LizzySuddenly Mia sits up straight and practically yells at us “so, this talking and all was fine but we really need to end the night with a bang” she grins and throws her arms around my neck, “what are you suggesting Mia?” I ask, she just points at the dance floor “you need to loosen up a little bit Lizzy, so we need to dance” I don’t know if it is because of the adrenaline rushing through my body or the alcohol but I get up immediately.“Come on Noah don’t be a pussy, show us your moves” I say waggling my eyebrows and holding my hand out for him. He takes it, “wrong move Cooper, never call me a ‘pussy’” Noah says, his eyes sparkling with challenge. We all walk towards the dance floor except Jax he says ‘he had some business call to attend to’.The music is loud and I lose myself in the rhythm, we dance together like we have so many times over the y

Markus“Do you think our friends are still waiting for us inside?” Lizzy asks looking up at me, “you know you look gorgeous right?” her face flushes at the compliment but she doesn’t respond. “Why were you here, anyway?” she asks raising one eyebrow, “I swear I wasn’t stalking you, I had some business that needed to be taken care of” as soon as the words were out of my mouth, Lizzy gasped “oh god! I messed up your business deal with Jax, didn’t I?”I cup her cheeks, “you did not mess anything up, and I had no idea why I was here until my friend told me so” I kiss her forehead “do you understand?” she nods “Good. Then let’s go inside, say our goodbyes and leave” I place my hand on her lower back and direct her towards the table we had occupied earlier.Jason gives us an ones over and grins “did you guys just have make-up s

MarkusThe ride from Lizzy’s place to mine is silent, it gives me a few moments to think about my situation with Lizzy. The way we kissed today was definitely not normal, it felt more real than all of the women I’ve kissed before. Her warm body pressed against mine felt like the missing piece of my body that I never knew existed. I smile when I remember what an eventful day it has been, I wasn’t even considering to visit ‘Nirvana’ but it all worked out well enough for me. I got to see Elizabeth and spend some crazy amount of quality time with her, I laugh at the way she called me an ‘asshole’ while trailing behind me to prove her point.Out of the corner of my eye I see my driver watching me with a smile, I frown “what is it Turner?” I ask, he shakes his head “you’ve been quite a happy chap lately sir, it’s good to see you smile” hmm….my driver notices more than I&rsqu

LizzyI don’t want to talk about my broken family and all my broken relationships, I’ve worked really hard to put all of that in the past and move on. So, I ask him about his family,“Tell me about your parents” he doesn’t reply for a long time before saying “there’s nothing much to know about them” he shrugs and gives me nothing more “hey! That’s not fair, I just basically gave you my whole sob story” “alright, alright crazy woman” he smiles “my dad is a corporate lawyer and my mom was a teacher before she retired a year and a half ago” this all sounds too good to be true “so, they are still together?” Mark looks at me before carefully saying “yes”.“This is something new to me” and it really is, all I’ve experienced in my life are failed relationships, so when I see a happy couple, I can’t help but envy them

Markus We gorge on our meal and talk about the most random things we could think of, conversations with her are so easy and comfortable I could basically speak to her for months without getting bored. “Your favorite Christmas movie?” she asks, “perhaps Last Christmas, what about you?” she doesn’t answer just stares at me “Elizabeth Cooper are you out of words?” she blinks a few times before saying “you’ve seen Christmas movies?” she asks me again “of course I have, why do you take me for an unfeeling bastard?” I say laughing at her. She shakes her head “no, no it’s not that, I mean a beast of a man like you watching Christmas movies is kind of funny” she thinks it’s funny because of my size? Well…that’s definitely a new, “you are right, I wouldn’t watch sappy movies on my own, we watch it as a family though. Every Christmas, we visit our house in the mountains and spend the vacation together. So, I am practically forced to

Lizzy “Your smile is beautiful” I say, turning back to resume my work “funny, I think the same about your smile” he says, I feel a blush creep up my neck and go all the way to my cheek. “Do you need help with that?” he asks and I snort, “So you can potentially ruin everything? No, thanks” I tease. “You can always teach me” he says seriously “you really want to mix chocolates with me, don’t you?” I ask incredulously, “of course I want to, there’s nothing wrong with learning, is there?” he shrugs. “No, nothing wrong at all” I shake my head and hand him the spatula, “here, let me show you how it’s done a few times, and then you thin out the rest of the chocolate” I show him how he needs to rotate the spatula to get the perfect amount of thickness and how the thickness of the chocolate determines its taste. “Why do we need to go in the same direction?” he asks while working with the mixture, “if the directions are changed regularly, the texture of the ch

Markus “Uncle Mark, you’re here” Emily comes running towards me and I bend down to pick her up. I hold her in my arms and kiss both of her cheeks “I wouldn’t be anywhere but here Em bear” she’s so small, like a little fragile flower in my arms it brings back the feeling of having Lizzy in my arms. There it is, all my thoughts going back to one person ‘Elizabeth Cooper’, “where are we going tonight?” Emily asks jumping up and down with excitement. I laugh, my niece is the most adorable little kid I know, “I wanted you to meet a special friend of mine, we’ll be having dinner with her” I say pinching her nose, she taps her cheek, ones, then twice before finally saying “is she a pretty woman like your ex Ver?” Emily asks while we get into the car. “She is a pretty woman, yes” Emily’s face visibly falls at that, I frown “hey, Em what is it? Do you not want to meet her?” she answers almost immediately “Uncle Mark, I don’t like
