IZombie One Shot

Working with someone at the same time as being in a relationship with them wasn't exactly the easiest thing to ever be done, but it was possible.

You'd always thought you wouldn't mix your personal life with your work life, of course there were friends but never romantic, however after having gotten closer to Peyton you'd found yourself becoming accustomed to having a romantic relationship as well as a relationship as colleagues.

Peyton's roommate and best friend, Liv, was yet to be aware of you as Peyton's girlfriend.

It wasn't done on purpose, more because things were still relatively new and everything was slowly being figured out.

Due to working on a pretty tough case, you and Peyton had ended up taking the work talk back to Peyton's flat for the evening to get whatever you could done.

After a couple of hours of working, the two of you were sat on the sofa having more normal talks than how to defend the client.

You jumped when you heard the door open, as Peyton had told you that Liv was staying late at work.

The both of you turned around to see Liv walking in before dropping her keys in the little bowl to the side of the door.

She smiled over at you "Hey you two" she greeted, making her way over to the kitchen.

"Oh, hi Liv. You're back early" Peyton spoke up causing Liv to turn around from her spot at the fridge.

She nodded in confirmation "Yeah. Ravi was meeting up with Major so I headed back" she loosely explained as she grabbed a drink.

You smiled at her "Well we ordered some food so it's still on the counter if you want some" Peyton motioned to the takeaway containers on the counter whilst she spoke.

Liv shook her head "I already ate" she dismissed the notion of more food with her comment "But I didn't know you and Y/N were so close" her gaze was flitting between the two of you when she talked.

You smiled sheepishly "It was a complete coincidence" you quickly claimed.

Peyton shot you a grateful look "Yeah. We ended up working on the same case and she's here to help me out" Peyton fabricated an excuse.

Liv crossed her arms "So where are the papers?" she questioned out of confusion.

"At the office" Peyton answered smoothly.

Peyton's words only increased Liv's confusion "But she's supposed to be helping you" Liv sounded incredibly confused by that point.

"Peyton invited me over so we could discuss what is going on with everything, and to come up with a sort of strategy I guess" you jumped in as an attempt to save the excuse.

Liv still seemed confused but shrugged "Hmm...okay. I'll be in my room if you need me" she told you both before disappearing down the hallway.

You turned to Peyton once you heard her door close "Think she bought it?" Peyton quizzed.

Laughing, you shook your head, "Not a chance" you stated.

She sighed but had a smile on her face nonetheless "Well, guess she'll be finding out soon"
