Lucas:Me? Weird? Never. ??(?ò?_?ó???)??
Rosa:Is that you flexing? X'D.
Lucas:You like it?
Rosa:mmm, yeah totally, those little lines are definitely doing it for me ;)
I let out a laugh by mistake, gaining a glare from Lucas.
"Sorry." I held my hand up. I turned to my side, so I didn't have to see his eyes on me again.
Lucas:Goodnight, Rose. I look forward to touching your body again.
Rose:Goodnight, Lucas.
I closed my eyes, feeling a little too excited about tomorrow now. There are so many things I want to do to her. I hope she gives me control again.
Olive's P.O.V.
I had a hard time going to bed last night. Lucas' texts had my heart racing with excitement. I had a stupid grin as we texted last night, which I later got onto myself about. I can't let myself get too attached. He wants nothing serious, and fooling myself into thinking he does will end in my heartbreak.
This is just sex.
"Mom, this is Hailey." I had convinced Hailey to come up during her lunchtime to meet mom. She, of course, accepted, excited to meet my mother. "She's my best friend and current roommate."
"It's so nice to meet you!" Hailey smiled sweetly, giving mom an unexpected hug. Hailey has always been very affectionate. She attributes it to her being latina. She tells me Spanish is the language of love, and love involves a lot of affection.
"It's lovely to meet you. Thank you for caring for my Livie." Mom spoke with her eyes still wide in shock.
"It's no trouble. I very much enjoy having Liv with me. She's tons of fun, and like a sister to me. She's great!” Hailey's words had me blushing a bit. I thought of her as a sister too, but I'd never told her. It was nice to have it confirmed.
"I'm glad to hear it. Please tell me more stories about my baby girl. Ones she may not have been so inclined to share with me herself." Mom was fishing for information, making me suddenly regret bringing Hailey. We sat and talked for about an hour before Hailey had to go back to Columbia for her afternoon classes. Mom had enjoyed getting some juicy gossip about me from Hailey. It was odd, but I liked how she knew all these new things about me now.
Leo:Think you can come down to the hospital garden for a little while?
Leo's text had surprised me as mom slept. She'd been sleeping a lot here lately. Every little thing would exhaust her and even though she fought it hard, the exhaustion was consuming her. I could see death approaching soon, tearing me up inside.
Olive:When? Now?
Leo: In 5 minutes?
Rose:Yeah, okay, see you then.
I responded as I headed out of the room towards the elevators. It took a good 5 minutes to get to the garden from where I was. When I arrived, I could see Leo standing under the shade of a massive tree. The weather was beautiful with the warm sun and cool breeze of a soon approaching autumn.
"What's up?" I asked him as I hopped next to him. He turned, giving me a bright smile, making my heart skip. Leo looked even more handsome with all his piercings on display. He had the top section of his shaggy hair tied back so it didn't fall on his face. He looked damn good right now.
"I wanted to talk to you. It's probably bad timing, but I wanted to get this off my chest and I wanted to tell you in person." He kept his clear-blue eyes on me.
"Okay, I am listening." I said wearily, because when someone wants to speak in person, it's usually serious.
"I genuinely like you, Olive. Liv, I mean. You're absolutely amazing, and I want to take you out on a date, but I know you have something going on with Lucas. I am not trying to make you my girlfriend yet, so I don't care that you do. I want you to see I'm an option, too." He spoke clearly, never once breaking eye contact.
His words surprised me. I didn't know Leo felt this way about me. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't heard him say it. The fact that two extremely hot and rich men wanted my attention was shocking to me. I am not sure I can handle it. I don't know how I could go about dating one while sleeping with the other. Leo's piercing moved side to side as I contemplated his offer. He was nervous, very nervous.
"I don't know, Leo. I just got out of a long relationship last week. My heart needs time before I jump into another one. I don't want to lead you on into thinking we would be anything more anytime soon," I admitted, trying not to be too harsh.
"I'm okay with that. I just want a chance to take you out on a date. It could be just one, and then you can see if you want to go on another one with me or not. We don't have to put any kind of label on it." He stepped closer as he spoke to me.
