“Why are you sulking?” Thomas asked with a mischievous glint in his eyes as Olivia sat there with folded arms. She was looking to the side. Never once did she look at him since they got into the restaurant.“What I do or do not do has nothing to do with you.” She turned and said with a curt tone before turning her eyes away again.Thomas could not help but chuckle.“I have never seen such extensive use of do’s in one sentence.” He said jokingly making her throw a glare at him.Besides his actions, she was also mad because the whole restaurant was looking at her when they entered. Why wouldn’t they? Her hair was a bird’s nest, she was wearing her casual shoes that she wore inside the house, and her dress had creases all over. He, on the other hand, looked like someone out of a fashion magazine. The jerk was ready, and he did not think about her look for once.He could have at least given her some time to get ready before taking her to a high-class restaurant. She did not know his defin
“Look! There is a roller coaster.” Olivia was pointing at the roller coaster with an amazed expression. She looked so excited being in the park. “Do you want to try it?” He asked suggestively raising his eyebrows. He had never enjoyed himself in a theme park like that ever. She had such a positive and excited energy about her. He could not help but look forward to their fun time together. “Of course.” She said but her expression did not seem like she was confident about the decision. She looked so unsure. She had told him that the last time she was on a ride, she was twelve. She did not get the chance to visit theme parks often. He chuckled as he remembered how she clutched his arm the entire time like her life depended on it. He just kept laughing the entire time. Her shrieks and screams were making him enjoy himself a lot. He realized that there was something more to his connection with her than just desire. He enjoyed his time whenever she was around minus their arguments. She w
“Oliviaaaa, let’s go and d-dance,” Leo yelled excitedly making Thomas glare at him. But he did not notice. He was not in the position to notice anything as he had been drinking the whole night. They were just served some pizza and after that, Leo started drinking like crazy. For such a skinny boy, he surely drank a lot. And now, he was insisting Olivia dance. The dance floor was packed already. People were crazily dancing. Thomas was not foreign to such an environment but he did like how he was the oldest one there. Everybody else looked like a teenager while he seemed to be the only adult one though that was not true. He had been hitting the gym since he was a teenager himself. He always looked older than his age. Now, it seemed to be the same case. He shook his head at the teenage party and sipped a little on his drink. He only took a few sips because he knew he had to drive. Olivia had a couple of drinks as well. She was a little tipsy, but she was alright. He took a look at her
“You bastard!” Thomas screamed as he saw the scene before his eyes. Smoke was coming out of his ears as he launched himself forward and yanked him by his shirt. He was so angry that he put all his energy and pulled him in one go, with one hand. “Motherfucker, you dare to touch her with your filthy hands!” He screamed in pure rage as he punched him in the face. He did not know where his punch landed nor did he care. All he knew was that he had to reshape his face. There was no limit to the anger he felt. Leo screamed and writhed in pain every time his strong punches landed on his face. He was so drunk that he could not defend himself either. His mind could not even comprehend the fact that he was drunk and that was why he did that to Olivia. He did not want to understand anything. He did her wrong and that was all that mattered to him. The image of him on top of her kept playing inside his head as he kept strong blow after blow to his face. “Thomas.” He heard a weak voice from his s
Thomas was holding her as they entered the house. He was by her side the whole time. He had given her as much time as she needed while he held her in his arms in the car. He wanted to take away all the pain. Seeing her in misery sparked some new feelings of empathy in him. He felt like he was the one who was hurt. He kept on caressing her hair and back until she calmed down a little. It had been a little over an hour when she raised her face from his chest looking a little embarrassed. She had stopped crying, but he could sense how much trauma she was going through at that moment. “Are you okay?” He asked tucking her hair gently behind her ear. Her bun had loosened up a bit and her strands were plucking out of the previously neat bun. He cursed at himself in his mind for not being able to remove his eyes from her. “Yeah.” She said with a hoarse voice. Putting her hands on the seat, she got up from his lap not meeting his eyes. She could not believe she had been sitting on his lap for
“I will sleep on the couch.” He informed as he came back dressed in a tank top and sweatpants. She wanted to tell him to sleep on the bed as she did not want to suffer because of her. The couch was a small one, but she could not do that. She needed her space. She just felt so bad for bothering him so much. She was always independent and liked to take care of herself. It was so new to her that aside from her mom, somebody else was looking after her like that. But she could not deny that it felt to lean on someone for support. She would have lost it for sure if he was not with her. He switched off the lights but left the table lamp on. She was so drained, but she could not think sleep would come to her anytime soon. Her head was so heavy. She was still a little hung over and the stress she went through with that creep did not help either. Thomas was right. She could not believe she made a fool of herself by believing Leo. She was so excited to see him after such a long time. She also
He was coming so close. She could hear her heartbeat in her ears. He was breathing on her face. She was nervous to no end. Surprisingly, it was not the kind of nervousness she would run from. She looked forward instead. Her thoughts even surprised her. He stopped when his lips were almost two inches away from her lips. He looked at her with an expression she had not seen in his eyes before. It was so intense that she had to look away for a second to catch her breath. He saw her looking away from his eyes. He was debating whether it was a good idea to show such advances at such a time when she was not stable and had gone through an ugly experience. God knows how much he wanted to close the distance between them. Once again, he stopped himself though. “Sleep.” He said softly putting some distance between them. He was afraid he would not be able to control himself if he was that close to her. Her hands, which were still clutching his shirt tightly, loosened as he distanced himself. S
She was frozen. She could not believe he had just kissed her, and even the more surprising thing was that she did not feel bad about it like she had thought.She was just so nervous. She did not have a lot of experience kissing people. And the way he was gently grabbing her face while pressing his lips with a bit of force—not too much just a little as she was basically standing there like a statue—it was making butterflies appear in her stomach.Her breathing stilled again as she felt his soft lips over hers. He moved them slowly while holding her face closely. She clutched his shirt without intending to. Heck, she was not even aware that her lips had started to respond to him.He moved her face softly to one side as his kiss became intense making her hot all over. She had never felt such intensity as she was feeling at that moment. It was like her mind had gone blank while her body was on fire.He had to crouch down a little to match her height. He could feel her clutching his shirt
