Chapter 11 I must have been a little Jealous

His hands gripped my wrists tightly. He was pressing me against the cold granite counter. I hadn't answered his question and he clearly wasn't letting me go until I did. I hadn't answered his question and he clearly wasn't letting me go until I did. His heated gaze had me blushing like crazy.

Oliver, Please let me go.

His face was serious and any any trace of amusement had vanished. Don't leave.

My eyes flickered to his , It's only dinner. My voice was soft and quiet as if I was trying to convince myself as well.

His dark eyes narrowed, He wouldn't have invited you to dine with him if he wasn't remotely interested in you . Who is he anyways?

I tugged my wrists trying to escape before he could bombard me with more questions. I really didn't want to explain the situation to him. My phone started beeping and I quickly tried to answer it before Oliver could see who was on the other line.

Oliver quickly reached for my phone and read whatever had popped up onto the screen. He scoffed and looked up at me and said with no emotion in his voice, Is he your boyfriend then? that's why you can't tell me.

My mouth fell open. Was he seriously asking me if I had some secret relationship behind his back? Especially after we had.... God , I feel so stupid!

I shook my head and grabbed my phone. Oliver was acting strange and it was asking me mad. How could you say that? You really think of me in that way especially after w-we....

I rushed past him unable to understand how he could think of me like that. That I was the type of girl to like a man while sleeping with another. It made me sick to my stomach. I slammed the door to my room and went straight into the inviting bed. I buried y head into my pillows and screaming God!

My phone buzzed and I quickly grabbed it.

3 messages

I opened the first from Nathan.

Here is the address linked below. I look forward to seeing you tomorrow. Rest well Addison.

The next message was from Jessica inviting me to drink with her tomorrow night. Thank goodness I had plans. I really did not want a repeat of last night. I sent her a quick reply and checked the last message.

Do not answer !Oliver Noah

I frowned. What did he want. It took me a minute to open the message up.

I am sorry if I upset you. I must have been feeling a little jealous. Sweet dreams Addie....

I rolled my eyes and scoffed. Jealous? Like Oliver could be capable of that .O turned my phone off and scratched Finn behind the ear. H had fallen asleep next to my leg and was purring rather loudly .I smiled and kissed his furry head.

I awoke the next morning feel anxious .Today was the day I would see Nathan for the first time in years. I was afraid of how I would feel when I saw him. I then thought of Oliver and a bigger pit grew in my stomach. I really didn't want to upset him by going but I couldn't just say no to Nathan. I groaned and got out of bed. I could already tell that today was going to be long.

I went down the long stairs yawning the whole way. Of course when I reached the last step my feet somehow slipped from under me. I let out a gasp as I felt two strong arms catch me, saving me from an accident waiting to happen. I looked up at my savior knowing all to well who it was.

Well, good morning beautiful. I was wondering when I would get the chance to hold you in my arms so early in the morning.

My face turned red. Oliver sat ne up right and chuckled.

Uh, Thanks I guess...

Oliver winked and walked with me into the kitchen. I went straight to the fridge and called over my shoulder, Does eggs sound good?

Oliver nodded and was already busy on his laptop. I stopped to admire Oliver in simple clothing and messy hair. He looked so appealing in that state. As if he could sense my eyes on him he looked up. I turned around as quickly as his eyes went up. I coughed and said a little too loudly, Alright! Eggs is it!

I made breakfast for Oliver and I in a hurry. I needed to figure out what I was going to wear and how I was going to make myself look somewhat presentable.

In a hurry? Oliver asked after a bite of food.

I nodded and swallowed the last of my orange juice. I stood up and rinsed off of the dishes. Before I exited the kitchen I turned around. Um, tonight I will be out late so don't be expecting me. Also please try and not to call me, unless it's an emergency...

He cocked an eyebrow at me and leaned back in his seat. What if I need you to warm my bed? Would that count as an emergency.

My eyes widened and I turned around so he couldn't see how he had affected me. Images of previous nights flashed through my mind. My palms felt sweaty and my stomach flipped. No . It wouldn't count.

It was nearly time to go and I had on a simple dark blue dress that complimented my dark hair. I ran my fingers through my long straightened hair and took in a deep breath. I would be fine. Totally and completely fine.

I grabbed my purse off of the bed and made my way down the stair case. Oliver was waiting at the bottom pacing back and forth. When I reached the bottom step he lifted his gaze and sucked in a breath. I gave him a small smile and cleared my throat.

Well, I guess I will see you later?

He didn't say anything, he just kept staring. I frowned and looked down at what I was wearing. It didn't look that bad when I tried it on this morning.

Addie.

His warm voice instantly made my whole body feel heavy. I looked up still frowning. Why did he look so sad? I took a step forward on instinct but stopped myself. I couldn't comfort him. He wasn't mine to take care of.

I should probably leave . He is expecting me. ..I turned quickly and grabbed onto the door knob to the front door. I needed to leave before I did something stupid .Addie.

I didn't turn around this time. This time I turned the knob. This time I wouldn't let myself be caught in his trance.

Oliver grabbed onto the hand holding the door knob and spun me around. He had me pressed up against the door. I tried wiggling free, Oliver. I need to go.

He looked so hurt and confused. Addie, please just listen to me for a second.

He let go of my wrist and brought his hands up to my face. His touch felt so light I thought that maybe I was in a dream.

I can't explain what I have been feeling. I have never felt this way about anything or anyone and it confuses me.

I brought my hands up to his. I just couldn't stop myself.

His eyes softened, I get this feeling every time I see you walk down those stairs .I-I can't breathe when I think of you not walking down those steps. It hurts so much to think that you are going to leave this house and walk into the arms of some other man. I can't let you go Addie, I can't.

I felt my eyes sting. Why was he saying these things to me? Oliver, I'm not good enough for you. You are so amazing and I'm just a stupid girl who can't even afford a new tooth brush.

He chuckled and brushed a loose hair behind my ear. I sighed and leaned my face into his palm, I don't want to get hurt.

He leaned forward and brushed his lips against mine. Stay here with me and I promise you that I won't give you anything but happiness . I swear too you.

The door slowly shut behind me and then we were making our way slowly up the stair case never breaking our embrace.....
