So. My first Loliver. And I gotta say, I kinda like it. :)
Ok, just gotta say that I'm absolutely in love with this couple right now. Not that I haven't been before. I've been rooting for them since day one but ever since they were canonized, I've been freaking out over them. They're too cute! :)
So yeah. I got this idea from something I saw on Myspace and I thought it'd make a cute Loliver story. This was planned to only be a one-shot but it ended up being like way too long so I decided to cut it in half. And it's like 2:30 in the morning but whatever. :) haha!
PS rating for mature themes. Nothing detailed. Just implied. :)
Lilly taps her pencil impatiently, yearning for the class to end. She hates algebra. It's as boring as hell.
Something pokes her in the back and she yelps in surprise. A few students turn to look at her and she smiles nervously. "Sorry. Thought I saw a bee," she informs.
That seems to be good enough for everyone as they turn away from her.
Lilly's nervous look becomes an aggravated one as she whips around to look at her best friend. "What?" she snaps, keeping her voice low.
Oliver smiles. "Wanna hang later?" he asks.
Lilly's aggravation vanishes. Her heart flutters and she smiles. "Duh," she replied, keeping her cool.
"How's some surfing sound?"
"Perfect."
Now Lilly desperately wanted the entire school day to end.
The teacher glances at the clock and realizes class was over. "Alright. Class is over. No homework. Have a nice weekend," he says bitterly.
Lilly gathers her books and follows Oliver out the door.
"So," Oliver begins as he wraps an arm around Lilly's shoulders. Lilly bites her lip to keep from smiling like an idiot. "When should we meet at the beach?" he finishes.
Lilly shrugs, reaching up and wrapping her fingers around his wrist, keeping his arm where it is. "Whatever time. Doesn't matter," she replies.
Nodding, Oliver says, "How 'bout around 4-ish."
"Alright. Sounds good."
"Cool."
Oliver pulls Lilly closer to his side and they continue towards the cafeteria for lunch. Lilly can't stop the fluttering feeling in her stomach as Oliver keeps his arm wrapped around her. It's a small gesture. And it's nothing he hasn't done before. But they're older now. And Lilly's starting to realize her best friend isn't just her best friend; he's also a boy. A cute boy.
She knows this feeling. It's butterflies. And she's getting them from her best friend.
-
They spend the entire rest of the day surfing and hanging out on the beach. He bought them "dinner" from Rico's (which was really just a large basket of nachos for them to share and two large drinks) and they pigged out by the ocean. After they finished eating, Lilly grabbed her board for one last ride.
"Lilly, be careful," Oliver warns.
Lilly glances over her shoulder at him and smiles. "Don't worry. I'll be fine," she assures before running out into the water.
It takes about ten minutes but a nice wave finally comes in. Lilly turns her board around and catches the wave. She slowly stands up and starts to ride it. She can hear Oliver cheering her on. She looks at him and smiles.
Then she loses her balance.
She hits the water, the board following her and colliding with her head. She tries to scream out in pain but there's no sound. Reaching for her ankle, she unties the board and watches it float to the surface. She follows it.
The second she breaks the surface, two arms wrap tightly around her. There's suddenly sand beneath her and Oliver's frantic voice in her ear. "Lilly! You ok?"
Lilly opens her eyes and stares into Oliver's worried brown eyes.
"Thank god!" His arms are around her again, pulling her against his chest. She coughs violently as it feels like he's crushing her. "You scared the crap outta me!" he exclaims.
Despite how much she loves being in his arms, she'd much rather breathe. She pushes out of his embrace and looks at him. "Sorry," she mumbles.
Oliver kisses her forehead and pushes her hair out of her face. "Never do that to me again," he orders.
Lilly's face flushes. He kissed her. It was just on the forehead but still. He kissed her.
She suddenly feels something trickling down the back of her head. Reaching behind her and placing her fingers to her scalp, she feels a warm liquid coat her fingers. She winces as pain shoots through her.
"Lils, you ok?" Oliver asks.
Lilly brings her hand away from her head and her eyes widen. Her fingers are coated with blood.
"Jesus, Lilly! What happened?" Oliver brings Lilly's head forward so he can examine the back of her head.
"I think the board hit me," Lilly replies before wincing as Oliver touches the cut. "Ow! Oliver!"
"Sorry," he apologizes, releasing her head so she can sit up. Then he stands up and extends his hand. "Come on. Let's get you to the hospital."
Lilly scowls. She hates hospitals.
"Don't worry. I won't leave your side," Oliver promises.
Lilly smiles and takes his hand, allowing him to pull her to her feet. He grabs a towel from his bag and has her hold it to her head. Taking her hand again, he leads her to his car and quickly drives her to the hospital.
-
She needs stitches. It really isn't anything serious. Just a cut along the back of her head. There wasn't any excessive amount of blood loss and nothing else was broken or injured. The doctor said she'd be perfectly fine.
Her mother, on the other hand, freaked and went on a long rant about how she was never surfing or skateboarding again and that she wasn't allowed to be alone with Oliver again. Lilly was unfazed. Her mother did the same thing when she fell off her skateboard and broke her arm and nose and chipped a tooth. And, of course, she'd been alone with Oliver. So she'd told her the same exact thing. A month later, the casts were off, her tooth was fixed, and she was skating down the boardwalk with Oliver, seeing who could come closest to the end of the pier before stopping. Lilly won. Oliver fell off and banged his foot on the rocks below. He broke it.
And, as promised, Oliver stayed by Lilly's side the entire time. He soothingly rubbed her knee while they were in the waiting room and she squeezed his hand tightly as the doctor examined the cut.
At the end of it all, he brings her in for a tight hug.
"Thank god you're alright," he mumbles into her hair.
Lilly takes a deep breath, breathing in his sent as she buries her face in his chest. "I'm sorry," she whispers, feeling tears well up in her eyes. She hadn't meant to scare him. She was just being her usual daredevil self. It was nothing new. And she'd hurt herself before. Why did he suddenly care so much?
She doesn't care why. She just holds him tighter as he whispers, "Don't be." He pulls back to kiss her forehead. He allows his lips to linger there.
Lilly feels those damn butterflies again. She grips his waist, pulling him closer as she attempts to control her breathing.
She's finally coming to terms with the fact that she may be in love with him.
O&L
Lilly hears that annoying whistling sound and she cringes. This can't be happening.
"Hey, Lilly." Whistle.
Lilly slowly turns around to face Nose-Whistle Wally as he smiles nervously at her. She always had a feeling her liked her. And as he stood there, wringing his hands together, Lilly knew what he wanted.
As he opens his mouth to ask her to dance, Lilly spots Oliver making his way towards them.
"Oliver!" she calls, cutting Wally off.
Oliver smiles and comes but behind Wally. "Hey. What's up?" he greets.
"Um…" Lilly quickly grabs his hand. "Dance with me."
Oliver stares at her in confusion. "Uh…ok."
Lilly drags him onto the dance floor, thankful to get away from Wally.
"What was that about?" Oliver questions.
"Nose-Whistle Wally was about to ask me to dance," she informs.
Oliver suppresses a chuckle. "Wow. Aren't you a lucky girl," he teases.
Lilly slaps his chest with the back of her hand. "Shut up and just dance with me," she orders.
"Why? He's not even around anymore," Oliver points out.
Lilly rolls her eyes before grabbing Oliver's hands and placing them on her waist. Damn butterflies! "You owe me a dance, Oken," she argues.
Oliver rolls his eyes playfully before smiling at her and pulling her closer. Lilly snakes her arms around his neck, her hands running through his hair. It feels soft between her fingers.
"Thanks again for coming with me tonight," Oliver says.
Lilly shrugs. "Not like I had anything better to do," she jokes.
Oliver chuckles before his hands slide around to the small of her back, bringing her even closer. Lilly tucks her head under his chin, suddenly noticing just how well they fit together. She feels him press his lips to the top of her head and he takes a deep breath.
Time freezes. Something clicks. Everything else seems to melt away as Lilly lifts her head to look at Oliver. As cliché as it sounds, she feels like they're the only two people on the beach. The butterflies kick into full force as she notices Oliver slowly lean in closer to her. She feels his warm breath on her face and she has to force herself to keep breathing.
A few seconds pass and neither of them do anything. A new song has come on but they aren't paying attention to anything but each other.
Oliver presses his forehead to Lilly's, keeping their eyes locked. Her heart pounds against her chest as he closes those last few centimeters between them.
For a second, all they do is press their lips together, unmoving. Then she weaves her fingers deeper into his hair and their lips are moving fluidly against each other as if they've done this a million times before. It just feels right. It all comes naturally.
He presses her body completely to his, holding her tightly. They both pull apart and stare at each other, not sure what to say. So instead, Oliver just pulls her into a tight hug. Lilly smiles and wraps her arms around his torso, resting her head on his chest.
She wasn't sure where this left them now. But she knew the butterflies wouldn't be leaving any time soon.
O&L
They're officially dating. Lilly almost can't believe it. After thirteen years of being best friends, she's finally with the one guy she's always wanted to be with. And he was happily displaying her off to the entire school.
Lilly couldn't help but giggle at the different reactions they were getting. Miley was being…well, Miley. She just pretended to gag whenever they were affectionate towards each other. They've learned to ignore her.
Amber and Ashley labeled them the dork couple and constantly teased them. Lilly just smiled and walked away.
Some people did nothing. They could honestly care less. Half their junior class wasn't surprised in the least. They've known Lilly and Oliver almost as long as they've known each other. They always figured there was something more there. Some girls were jealous. Some guys looked like they'd give anything to be Oliver. But no matter what, Lilly knows they're solid. No nasty comment or jealous glare can ruin what they have.
As Lilly tosses her books into her locker, not really caring where they landed, she feels two arms wrap tightly around her waist, pulling her away from her locker and spinning her around.
"Oliver!" she shrieks.
She hears his laughter fill the hallway as he sets her down. She turns around in his arms to face him. He leans down and kisses her lightly.
"Wear something nice tonight. I'm taking you out," he says once they've pulled apart.
Lilly smiles. "Oh? And what's the occasion?" she questions.
Oliver shrugs. "Just thought we could use some alone time is all," he replies with his adorkable smile that she loves so much.
"Hmm…I thought my mom said no more being alone with you," Lilly teases, reminding him of all the times she's been hurt while in his care and how her mother always ordered her away from him.
Oliver rolls his eyes. He leans down and whispers in her ear, "Guess I'll just have to sneak you out then."
His warm breath sends shivers down her spine. As he backs away from her, he smiles and kisses her forehead, something he's grown fond of doing. "I'll pick you up at 7," he says.
Lilly nods. "Ok."
After sharing one more quick kiss, the two head in opposite directions to their next class.
-
Lilly answers the door when Oliver knocks at 7. When his eyes land on her, his jaw literally drops.
Lilly giggles and reaches forward, snapping his jaw shut and causing him to return to reality. "You like it?" she asks, looking down at the blue halter top dress that came down just above her knee she had on. It was the girliest thing she'd worn since prom (and even that wasn't anything too fancy).
Oliver nods. "Yeah. I love it," he replies, continuing to stare at her.
Giggling again, Lilly teases, "Of course you do."
The realization of what she was implying snaps Oliver back to reality. He smirks and grips her waist, pulling her against him. He kisses her passionately and she eagerly returns it. His hands wander up and down her body, feeling every curve of it. She giggles into the kiss.
"What?" Oliver asks with a light chuckle, keeping their lips just centimeters apart.
Lilly shakes her head and backs away from him. "Come on, lover boy. Let's get to the date," she says, taking his hand and dragging him towards his car. He laughs as he follows her.
-
He said it. He actually said it. Those three little words Lilly has been dying to hear. They actually came out of his mouth.
Oliver had taken her to a fancy restaurant for dinner and dancing. After dinner, as he held her in his arms on the dance floor, he leaned down and whispered, "I love you," into her ear.
Now, Lilly's in shock. She stares up at him, almost not believing it was actually him who'd said that.
He gives her a confused look. "Lils, you ok?" he asks.
Lilly nods. "Yeah. I just…That's the first time you ever said that," she points out.
Oliver smiles. "I know. That's why I brought you out tonight. I wanted it to be perfect," he replies.
Lilly bites her lip, a smile creeping across her face. "Say it again," she orders, resting her hands on his chest and staring up at him with pleading eyes.
Oliver chuckles. "I love you, Lilly Truscott," he repeats. "More than you could ever know."
"Hmm…" Lilly sighs and leans her head down on his chest, wrapping her arms around his torso. "One more time."
"I love you." He kisses her cheek. "I love you." Her neck. "I love you." Her shoulder.
Lilly giggles. "I love you, too," she returns, lifting her head to kiss him.
And all those butterflies. They just won't leave. She thinks they might be stuck there forever.
O&L
They're 18, they're graduates, and they're lying in Oliver's bed, their naked bodies tangled together.
Lilly gently strokes Oliver's hair as he sleeps soundly, his head resting on her shoulder. She's too happy to sleep. She's never felt so happy in all her life.
It wasn't like the whole thing was unexpected. They'd talked about it, trying to figure out when they were both ready to take that next big step. They never actually picked out any kind of date but when they arrived at Oliver's house after their graduation dinner with Miley and a bunch of their other friends and found the house empty, he turned to her, kissed her lightly, and whispered, "You ready?" She'd responded by unbuttoning his dress shirt and yanking it from his body, tossing it across the room and kissing him passionately. He'd carried her to his room and their actions continued.
Lilly can't even begin to explain the feelings she'd experienced. When he'd been inside her and their two bodies became one, it felt like a million butterflies building in the very center of her body. An intense pressure she never thought could feel so amazing. He'd whispered, "I love you," and kissed her tears away. It all seemed to happen so fast. When release came, he'd collapsed on top of her, both of them breathing heavily. She'd kissed the top of his head before he'd rolled off of her and brought her into his arms. He'd fallen asleep almost instantly, mumbling her name into her hair.
Lilly continues to watch her slumbering boyfriend. She brushes his bangs aside and kisses his forehead. His eyes slowly open.
"Hey there, handsome," she greets with a smile.
He returns the gesture with a sleepy smile. "Morning," he mumbles, turning on his side to bury his face in her arm.
"Barely," Lilly replies, stroking his hair once again. "It's only four."
Oliver glances at the clock and groans. "Why'd you wake me up so early?" he complains.
Lilly rolls her eyes. "I didn't wake you," she argues.
Oliver mumbles incoherently under his breath, causing Lilly to laugh.
"Someone's in a bad mood," she teases.
"Not a bad mood. Just not a morning person," he corrects, slowly sitting up. He places a hand on Lilly's cheek, stroking it with his thumb. "There's no way I could be in a bad mood after last night."
Lilly blushes and looks down. He places his hand under her chin and makes her look at him, worry and concern shown on his face. "You're not regretting it, are you?" he questions.
"No! No!" Lilly replies quickly, taking his hand in hers and lacing their fingers together. "I don't regret anything I've ever done with you, especially last night. I just…" She trails off, her gaze returning to her lap.
"Lils?"
She refuses to look up. She shouldn't have brought it up. It was stupid anyways. He'd probably just laugh at her.
"Sweetie, look at me," Oliver begs, taking her face in his hands. She looks at him. "What's wrong?"
Lilly sighs. "It's just…did you, you know…" She can't bring herself to say it. She bites her lip, takes a deep breath, and forces it out. "Enjoy yourself?"
There's silence for awhile. She turns her eyes to her lap once again as he releases her face.
"I'm sorry. It's stupid. I was just –" She's cut off as Oliver smashes his lips onto hers. He pulls back and hugs her tightly to his chest, practically pulling her into his lap.
"Is that what you're worried about?" he asks, sounding almost relieved.
"Well, yeah," Lilly replies. "I mean, I'm the one who gets the most out of this whole thing."
Oliver shakes his head. "Lils, last night was incredible. You said you loved me. You said my name. You made me the happiest man on the planet just by being with me. And last night…baby, trust me. It was perfect. For both of us," he assures.
Lilly bites her lip as she smiles at him. She places her hand behind his head and brings his mouth down to meet hers.
"I love you."
"I love you, too."
