"cause you'll be safe in these arms of mine, just call my name on the edge of the night. And I'll run to you, I'll run to you."

~ Lea Michele, Run To You

She was silent, staring at him in shock.

He didn't know how to interpret her reaction. She did look a little pleased but also very confused.

"of course I love you, Cole. I've always loved you, ever since the first time I saw you and I love you even more now. This breakup was the worst thing that has ever happened to me" She said with a little smile.

No one in the world could describe how happy the both of them were at the moment. Their smiles only expressed little of it, but it was the widest both of them have ever smiled since their break up.

He opened his arms extensively for her and she ran into them as he lifted her above the ground, both missed the feeling of being in each other's arms.

A few seconds later, they pulled away and stared into each other's eyes intensely, then finally they joined their lips together in a deep kiss. He inserted his tongue in her mouth strongly and she allowed it.

Knock Knock

They pulled away, kind of freaking out. She urged him to hide in her closet, deciding to keep their relationship in secret for a little while.

She opened the door, and was surprised to find her sister, Chloe, on the door.

"Oh my god, Chloe, what are you doing here?" Lili shrieked, happy to see her after months of not seeing each other.

"I came to check up on you. Don't worry, I followed the exact Covid guidelines on my flight. Mom, dad & Tess send you their love and tell you they miss you. How are you? Especially after the split?" Chloe replied to her.

"I'm really good, can I tell you something? but don't tell anyone" Lili answered her, with a smile on her face.

"Please tell me you and Cole are back together!" Chloe told her, she was one of the greatest supporters of her sister and Cole's relationship, because she could see how much they loved each other and how they looked at each other.

"Yeah, just this morning, actually." Lili told her, still unable to keep the smile on her face.

"Oh my god, tell me everything!" Chloe squealed.

"Okay okay, but first, Cole, you can get out of the closet now." Lili said.

"Hey, Chloe." Cole said to Chloe.

"Hi, Cole. Now, you have to take care of my sister. Okay? or I will come after you" Chloe told him.

"Chloe!" Lili said, smiling.

"Don't you worry, I love your sister very much and I would do way worse to myself if I ever hurt her." Cole said, looking at Lili and giving her a kiss on the head. She blushed.

"Okay, good to hear that. Now, love birds, if you don't mind. I'm going back to my hotel room to rest after the long flight. Lili, I'll text you my address. Cole, I'm watching you." Chloe said teasingly.

"Noted" Cole said, smirking.
