"You seemed so vulnerable a while ago" he said as he lied back on her bed.
"and?" she didn't understand what made him feel bad.
"I don't like seeing people I care about being vulnerable ,I like seeing the people I care about strong and not-" he stopped.
"Weak , you're saying am weak just because I hurt my ankle and I knew you wouldn't help me if I didn't beg" she said and he woke up to support his body with his elbows. He could see she was annoyed for being called weak. She always regarded herself as strong.
"Sorry for that I didn't mean to annoy you" he woke up and hugged her.
"Hey you two love birds,we need you two back here" Leo announced from Oliver's window. She untangled herself from him and took her top and put it on. He excused himself and left her to dress. He came back and gave her a piggyback ride.
That evening she didn't get Elle from school so Oliver went for both Elle and Jason(the small bro of the Gorbachev's). She spent that evening in her bed reading some online novels. Her mom brought her food in bed. This was among the best things about being sick ,you get some special treatment for a couple of days. This night she couldn't sleep well ,it was as if she was waiting or anticipating for something.
'Of course you're waiting for him already,you want him to come just like yesterday' her inner self shouted at her.
'He's becoming part of your life already, and you're becoming part of his ' she wanted to shout back to her inner goddess telling her that,that last statement was a lie when she remembered him saying'the people he cares for' earlier. She couldn't help but blush a little bit.
The noise from the window stopped her trail of thoughts. She knew this is what she was waiting for but admitting it was the problem.
"Seems like you were waiting for me , already missed me?" he asked as he sat on the small table next to her window.
"No ,I've not missed you ,how do you climb in ,it's very high?" actually she had been curious since yesterday.
"I have my ways to get what I want , should I join you" he asked as he gestured to go to the bed.
"No , I just have some questions, where did you guys live before coming here?"
"Seattle" her eyes widened in wonder ,so they moved across the country to come live here In New York City. "My mom lived close by so we just joined her and found a bigger house for all of us to stay"
"Okay, do you go to school?" he immediately shook his head in denial" why?"
"I don't want to, I already have a well paying job so why bother " he was so casual about it that it surprised Olivia. This guy is a don't care.
"Did your ankle stop hurting? " he said as he moved closer to the edge of the bed and uncovered it to look at her foot.
"Just a little but I'll be fine by tomorrow evening" he was carefully assessing her foot and doing some massage to it.
"What work do you do?"
"That I'll not answer you today but I'll surely answer you some day" he came and slept next to her.
"Ok" there was no issue with that everybody has their secrets." I told to not enter my bed go sleep in yours" she said with a reprimanding tone like a mother telling a naughty boy. He was a naughty boy after all.
"Or else what huh? What you gonna do about it?" he was inching his face closer to hers.
"Or else...I'll push you off the bed" she said before getting distracted by this gorgeous being.
"I dare you" he was so confident thinking she couldn't Do it . She gathered all her strength and pushed him off and he fell with a thud.
"Wow ,I love your spirit,one day I'll make you beg me as a punishment for this,just you wait and see" he jumped on the bed and locked her in between his strong arms "but for now" he didn't give her the chance to recover from the shock of his words when his lips sealed hers. He kissed slowly but she didn't respond.
She had never been kissed before so this came as her first kiss. Actually she didn't know what she was supposed to do. His tongue licked her lips while his lips did the rest.
"Mm" he pulled away and looked away "you are a totally an inexperienced virgin ,even your lips" he was looking at her shocked face. "but it makes me want you more"
A smirk was on his face , when he inched closer to kiss her again she put her palm on his lips.
"I can't since I don't know what to do once you kiss me" she blurted out looking away.
"I'll teach you but not today ,for now I have to go,see you on Monday baby girl" he kissed her cheek and went out of the window. Wait..what?
"Monday"she limped to the window and saw him enter a car "Monday?"
"Yes Monday baby" he entered the car and it immediately left. That was the fastest goodbye she ever had.
A knock interrupted her "Livia is everything alright I heard some noise" it her mom.
.She slowly limbed back to her bed "am ok mom ,it's just my laptop,I was watching a movie "
"Ok goodnight and don't stay up too late"
"Ok goodnight"
