Girls Talk [Girl x Girl]

Epilogue- Part Two

"So you two are together?" Victoria asked.

Swan nodded and Liam moved closer to her.

"Yup," he said.

"We're happy for you," Victoria and I spoke simultaneously,  which led Victoria to turn to me with an amused expression. 

"But..." Victoria turned to Swan now as Liam and I made our way to the other paintings.

"You better not steal my thunder," she said.

"Thunder? Oh, today?" Swan asked.

I wondered what she meant by that question. 

"Shushh," said Victoria. 

I turned back to them and Victoria immediately put on a smile. 

She was definitely up to something. I wondered what.

Swan rolled her eyes, "Sure, Victoria," she shrugged, and walked to keep up with my pace now as we headed to the paintings.

"Okay wait wait wait," Victoria said, putting her hands over her eyes in an attempt to make me fall flat on my ass...

well, probably not, but it seemed that way. 

I wasn't good at coordination when my sight was compromised.

Kate Greene, can't even walk straight.

Uhm...take that as you will. 

"Now don't open your eyes, okay?" 

Reluctantly I agreed, Victoria's voice was filled with a kind of excitement which was...adorable, really. 

She always was.

"Okay, three, two, one," she said, and then moved her hands out of my view so that I could see the paintings she had been keeping up her best efforts of hiding from me.

I noticed straight away that they were of me...and of us. 

One was me stood near the beach, the other was of Victoria and I sharing a cake in a cafe, and the last was Victoria handing me a heart balloon.

"These are amazingly adorable, how long have you been working on them," 

"Hmm..." Victoria smiled a slight smile, moving closer to me to wrap her arm around my shoulders.

"Just some time," she said.

"Thank you," I said.

"Thank you, you were my inspiration," Victoria winked.

My heart skipped several times after that.

Funny how it had been two years, that number still seemed crazy to me. 

Time flew by fast when you were with someone who made it all the worthwhile.

"Oh this is so cute I'm going to cry...but also, I was promised free nachos, where they at?" asked Paulo. 

"Desk by the front Paulo," said Victoria, with a slight smile.

Once Paolo headed off the two of us couldn't help but laugh a little, however the laughter didn't last long when Victoria's expression shifted to one I couldn't quite decode...worry, nervousness perhaps.

Still, she kept things hidden today, and a lot of the time.

I had almost got round to getting her to completely open up to me, but she was so good at surprises, and secrets.

"What're you thinking about, love?" I asked.

"Just you...I mean, just stuff," she said, and then couldn't help but let a smile make itself present on her face.
