Elliot returned to the table and Olivia set her cell phone down. He placed the coffee on the table and sat across from Olivia. Olivia reached out and picked up her coffee. "Thank you." She brought the coffee to her lips and took a sip.
"No, thank you for hanging out with me." Elliot smiled as he drank his coffee. Olivia smiled as wide as possible.
"You say that like it's a chore. I'm excited to hang out with you." Olivia smiled. Elliot opened his mouth to respond but was interrupted by the sound of a phone vibrating on the phone.
"Crap, sorry." Olivia quickly reached out and picked up her phone. It was a text message from Casey.
all right, i'll see u at home in a bit.
Olivia flipped her phone shut without typing a response. She put her phone in the front pocket of her jeans. Olivia looked up to catch Elliot starring at her, he quickly turned away. "So anyway, how was your day going before we met?" Elliot asked.
"Pretty crappy. Casey and I had gotten into a fight like twenty minutes before I knocked your books out of your hands." Olivia smiled.
"What are you guys fighting about?" Elliot questioned. Olivia didn't feel like talking about it but she figured she'd tell him.
"Her boyfriend. He's been really weird lately and I don't really approve of him anymore." Olivia sighed. "It's just frustrating that she's picking him over me."
"I'm sure it's not like that. Love makes people do crazy things." Elliot took a drink of coffee. "Do you have a boyfriend?"
Olivia smiled. "No, I don't have a boyfriend. How about you?"
"No, I don't have a boyfriend." Elliot said sarcastically.
"Well, that's good. How about a girlfriend?" Olivia questioned. She was dying to hear the answer.
"Nope, I'm swinging single." Elliot said. Olivia's heart exploded. She was happy she actually stood a chance with him.
"Yeah. How's the New York singles scene treating you?" Olivia took a long drink of coffee.
Elliot starred into Olivia's eyes, she felt kind of intimidated but she continued to stare back. "My luck seems to be turning around."
Olivia felt her cheeks begin to warm up. She broke her gaze into Elliot's eyes when she heard the bell above the door chime. She looked up to see a middle aged couple walking in, hand in hand. She smiled and turned back to Elliot. The two continued to talk for nearly an hour until Olivia looked out the window and saw it was dark outside.
"I think we should head back to campus." Olivia said half hearted. She was having a great time in with Elliot but was hoping to beat Casey back to their room. She didn't feel like receiving the third degree if she came in later.
"Sure, let's head out." Elliot grabbed Olivia's empty cup of coffee and threw it in the garbage. The two than left the coffeehouse and headed back to campus.
"I can't wait for it to be over 50 degrees again." Olivia complained. The wind lowered the temperature another ten degrees and it drove Olivia insane, she preferred the warm weather.
"Do you want my sweatshirt?" Elliot asked politely. Olivia melted inside, he was such a gentleman.
"No thank you. It'll only take like five minutes and you'll freeze. Thanks for the offer." Olivia smiled at Elliot. She began to angle her steps so she was walking even closer to him. Olivia teeth began to chatter because of the cold.
"If you won't take my sweatshirt, I'll use my body to warm you up." Elliot said. Olivia's mind quickly went to the dirtiest places known to man. Her mind began to wonder when she felt Elliot's arm around her shoulder bringing her closer to him.
Olivia let out a nervous laugh which she tried to disguise as casual. Her attempt either worked or Elliot was to polite to mention it. "I feel warmer already."
Elliot laughed and squeezed even tighter. The two continued their walk back to their hall in this position. Elliot pulled the door open and walked in with Olivia. He moved his hand over her shoulder. Olivia's heart broke a little, she didn't want him to stop. The two walked over to the elevator and Elliot stepped in and pressed Olivia's floor only.
"Aren't you going to go to your room?" Olivia questioned. Her mind told her to send him home but her body wanted him more than anything.
"What kind of man would I be if I didn't walk you to your door?" Elliot said.
The elevator ride was a quiet as they rode up to the third floor. Olivia stepped off first and Elliot followed. "So where's your room?" Elliot asked innocently.
"It's just down the hall, we'll be there soon." Olivia led the way. She reached her door and turned around to Elliot. "Thanks for the coffee."
"Thanks for the company." Elliot said in response. They both shifted awkwardly than let out nervous laughter.
"So, I guess I'll see you around...?" Olivia said awkwardly. Neither of them were quite sure how to end the night.
"Definitely." Elliot pulled Olivia's body closer to his in what seemed like one movement. Olivia didn't mind but she was a bit startled. Olivia slapped Elliot on the chest and laughed awkwardly.
Elliot put his hand on the bottom of Olivia's chin and tilted her head up towards his face. He smiled and leaned down to kiss her.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!" A woman shouted from behind Elliot. They quickly jumped apart and turned to see Casey standing there with her hands on her hips.
"Umm... Casey, this is Elliot. Elliot, Casey." Olivia said awkwardly.
Elliot nodded his head at Casey. "Nice to meet you." He turned back to Olivia. "I'm going to go home now. I'll call you later or something." Elliot put his head down and walked past Casey to the stairs.
"Who the hell was that?" Casey said as she walked forward with her key in her hand. "Better yet, what the hell did I just witness?" Casey put her key in the door and opened the door. Olivia followed behind her and locked the door behind her.
"He's just some guy." Olivia said quietly. She walked over to her closet to pick out some flannel pants to throw on. She began to search for some.
"Just some guy? So do you just go around macking people behind my back?" Casey said from the other side of the room.
"It's not like that Casey. Why are you so concerned anyway?" Olivia said smugly. "You've been too busy with Charlie to know what's going on with me."
"Olivia, I'm not here to freaking fight with you, I'm asking you about a guy who I just caught you macking with. You basically have to tell me." Casey said calmly.
"We weren't macking. Unfortunately, you interrupted before we could get that far." Olivia said bitterly from the closet.
"Do you even know him?" Casey questioned.
"Casey, quite honestly, I don't have to tell you anything." Olivia said as she popped her head up from her closet with a pair of pants in her hand.
"Are you kidding me Liv? I've told you everything for the last three years." Casey was standing up now.
"That's a lie. I asked you one serious question today and you left." Olivia was unbuttoning her pants and kicking them off her legs. She pulled her pajama pants on her legs. "Why can't you tell me that one thing?"
"BECAUSE IT'S NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS!!!" Casey was now shouting.
"Screw you Casey. You know damn well it's my business if your boyfriend's hitting you!" Olivia was now shouting too.
"You assume the worst because we fight sometimes OLIVIA! He's just going through a phase. And it's just..." Casey fell to the floor and began to sob. Olivia rushed over to Casey's side and wrapped her arms around her shoulders.
"Case. I'm sorry babe. Shhh... Please don't cry." Olivia whispered quietly into Casey's ear. "It's okay hun."
"No, it's not Liv." Casey said loudly and continued to sob into her knees.
"What are you talking about?" Olivia asked. She didn't know if she meant the fight or something bigger. Casey began to cry heavier. "Case, tell me, it's all right. I'm here."
"Liv, I can't tell you. Ch-Charlie said not to." Casey said through her sobs.
"Casey, he isn't in control of you. I'm your best friend. Tell me." Olivia said gently.
"I can't Liv. I CAN'T!" Casey shouted.
"CASEY!" Olivia grabbed Casey by her face. "Tell me what's going on."
"I'm late..." Casey said quietly. Olivia let go of her face and Casey continued to cry into her knees. "What am I supposed to do Liv? I'm only 21..."
"Don't worry about it babe. We'll find out. Come on, let's go to the drug store." Olivia said quietly.
"NO! Liv, I can't buy that. Charlie said we'll do it together." Casey exclaimed.
"How about this? I go buy it and than you'll take it and we won't tell Charlie." Olivia suggested. Casey wanted to know, it was her body and she couldn't understand why Charlie wouldn't want her to do this.
"Okay... I'm not going with." Casey said.
"It's okay, I'll go. Get into bed and I'll be back in like twenty minutes." Olivia squeezed Casey and tucked her into bed. "I'll be back soon."
Olivia grabbed her jacket and walked out of the room. She caught the elevator and stopped on the second floor. She walked to a door and knocked. "HANG ON!" She heard a man yell from the other side of the door. Within thirty seconds, Elliot was standing in front of Olivia in a pair of flannel pants and no shirt. Olivia couldn't stop starring at how muscular his chest was.
"What's wrong Olivia?" Elliot questioned. He had genuine concern in his voice.
"Do you wanna walk to CVS with me?" Olivia asked desperately. She didn't want to go alone. It was dark and Olivia didn't feel safe walking alone.
"Sure. Come in, I'll throw a shirt on and we'll go." Elliot walked over to his closet and pulled out a Yankee's shirt. "So what do you need from CVS?"
"A pregnancy test." Olivia said mindlessly. She was still focused on his chest.
"For you?" Elliot exclaimed.
Olivia snapped back to reality. "Oh God no. It's for Casey."
Elliot pulled the shirt over his head and grabbed a jacket. "Okay, let's go."
Olivia walked out of the door and Elliot followed behind her. He locked the door behind them and the two walked towards the elevator. "So... this is a bit awkward." Elliot said while they waited.
"I know, I'm sorry. I just didn't want to walk alone and things ended awkwardly today." Olivia said while she starred down at her feet. She felt his eyes burning on her skin.
"Yeah, that was weird. Maybe it's best she came. I'm usually not that... forward." Elliot said. Olivia looked up and smiled.
"Me neither." Olivia laughed. "I'm sorry about Casey. We were fighting and all that jazz." Olivia sighed heavily over her fight with Casey, especially when she knew what she knew now.
"I understand. Don't worry about it. We can always do that some other time." The elevator arrived as Elliot finished his sentence. They both walked onto the crowded elevator. They had to squeeze against each to fight in the elevator. Olivia felt her cheeks warm up as Elliot pulled her hips closer to him. She knew he was only doing it to make room for other people, but she was beginning to feel a bit flustered.
After thirty seconds, the elevator arrived on the first level and people began to pile out. Elliot reluctantly let go of Olivia's hips when they walked off the elevator. They were silent as they walked to the doors.
"So..." Elliot said awkwardly. They were now two hundred feet from the dormitory. "I know you probably have a lot on your mind so we could walk in silence or you could talk my ear off."
Olivia smiled at Elliot. "Thanks. I'm just pissed. Like Casey and Charlie are stupid! What possesses you to not wear a condom? I mean honestly, they're like a buck fifty for a three pack."
Elliot laughed. "Heat of the moment. I mean once you're worked up, the last thing you want to do is go grab a rubber." Elliot's expression tensed up. "But you're right, condoms are definitely the way to go."
"I don't see why they don't get that." Olivia sighed. "I'm sorry."
Elliot laughed and grabbed Olivia's hand. "Don't be, I just want to cheer you up." Olivia was expecting him to let go of her hand but when he didn't, she had no complaints.
"Well, it's working." Olivia said under breath. They were crossing the street to the CVS. Elliot still hadn't let go of Olivia's hand. They entered the store and Olivia sighed. They continued to walk, hand in hand, towards the female health aisle. They stopped in front of the pregnancy tests and starred at the wall.
Olivia leaned up and whispered into Elliot's ear. "How do you pick a pregnancy test?"
"I haven't the slightest idea." Elliot whispered back.
A sales associate came walking towards them. "Do you two need some help?"
"Yes, actually. Which pregnancy test do suggest?" Elliot asked. Olivia slapped him on the chest and shot him a look of pure hatred.
"No need to be embarrassed ma'am." The woman said to Olivia.
"Me? I'm not embarrassed. This isn't for me." Olivia said, though she wasn't embarrassed, her cheeks began to change color.
"Oh right." The sales associate said. "I suggest First Response."
"Okay, thanks for your help." Elliot said as he reached forward to grab one off the shelf.
"Good luck to you guys... or whoever it's for." The sales associate turned away and went into another aisle.
"I hate you." Olivia said. "Why would you ask for help? You never ask for an associate's help when you're shopping for something personal."
Elliot laughed. "Someone's still a bit red. And you don't hate me."
Olivia grabbed the pregnancy test from Elliot. "I know, come on let's go pay. Casey's waiting." Olivia led Elliot to the register. The two paid and left the store.
"Is Charlie there now?" Elliot asked as they walked towards the campus.
"He shouldn't be. I wouldn't doubt that Casey called him." Olivia said smugly.
"Do you really not like the guy?" Elliot asked.
Olivia pondered the thought for a second. "I like him but it's just that he's been such an ass to Casey lately. Like every time she talks about him, it's about a fight they got in." Olivia chose not to tell Elliot her theory about Charlie.
"Yeah... I understand." Elliot said quietly.
"Yeah, it's complicated, you'd have to see a fight between them to fully understand." Olivia said.
The two walked through to doors of the halls and entered the lobby. "Ah, home sweet home." Elliot said sarcastically. He led Olivia by her hand to the elevator and it arrived almost immediately.
Olivia and Elliot stood side by side on the elevator. A few other people were on but they all got off on Elliot's floor. "I'll walk to your floor. Maybe not your door..." Elliot joked.
"Sounds like a plan." Olivia said hopefully. The elevator arrived at Olivia's floor. "Well, thanks for going with me. I really needed someone to vent to."
"I'm glad you thought to invite me." Elliot said. "I guess I'll let you go."
"I'll see you later." Olivia walked by Elliot to walk off the elevator but she felt a tug on her wrist. "Wh-?" Olivia's sentence was interrupted by Elliot's lips on her mouth.
Elliot pulled back. "Text me tomorrow. We'll get coffee and you can pay."
Olivia was still in shock as she walked off the elevator. "See you Elliot." She continued down the hallway to her room and pulled out her key. She opened the door and looked in to see Casey under the covers of her bed.
"Casey." Olivia said as she walked towards the bed.
"Yeah Liv?" Casey answered quickly.
"I'm home." Olivia said.
"Oh okay." Casey responded. Olivia walked closer to Casey's bed.
"Are you ready?" Olivia asked as she sat down on her own bed.
"Let's do it in the morning." Casey said. Olivia was confused so she walked up to Casey's bed and lifted the covers. Underneath she found Casey with a man's body on top of her.
"That's just great Casey. I hope you two are having fun. Isn't that what got you into this mess?" Olivia shouted. She picked up the clothes from the other side of the bed and threw them on the bed. "Get dressed Charlie and get out." Olivia turned around so he could dress in privacy.
"LIV! You can't make him leave! This is my room too!" Casey shouted back. "If we want to have sex here, we can."
Olivia turned back around. "Are you freaking kidding me? I wasn't even kissing a guy and you got your panties in a bundle. Screw you and your boyfriend."
Charlie jumped out of bed in his boxers. "No, Olivia! SCREW YOU! You have no clue what the hell we were doing! It's not of your damn business. Keep your nose the hell out of our life." Charlie took a step towards Olivia.
"CHARLIE DON'T!" Casey shouted from the bed, she was now sitting up with the blanket covering herself.
"SHUT UP CASEY!" Charlie shouted at Casey. He took another step towards Olivia.
"What Charlie? Are you going to hit me?" Olivia said calmly. Charlie took another step towards Olivia and she felt her nerves tighten up...
Muhahaha, cliff hanger. I'm sure you're all ready to beat so I'm going to go start chapter three before the threats start! Review please!
