Hey guys! Happy New Year! Just wanted to update really quickly. Trust me the next chapter will be more exciting. Enjoy!
Clare's POV
I sat on the couch with my aunt until the doorbell rang. I went to get it to see Oliver at the door, again, holding flowers.
"Hey Oliver, what's up?" I asked confused.
"I wanted to show you around, properly," he added an adorable smile and wink. My knees shook a bit.
"Okay let me get ready," I let him come in. He stood in the entryway and watched as I trotted off to my room. My aunt got up and quickly followed.
"I don't know about this chickie; don't get me wrong, he's a good kid…" Aunt Kimmy trailed off as if to thing. "I think he likes you and you are giving him the wrong idea."
"Don't be silly his intentions are good, I hope."
She gave me a stern look for a minute then softened, "Okay but wear this skirt it makes your legs look long,"
We walked back in to see Oliver fiddling with something on the mantle. He turned around and held out the flowers to me, but my Aunt Kimmy came by and took them to the kitchen.
"You kids have fun now," she called to us. We both mumbled back a 'sure' and left.
Oliver took me to a local café, The Corner Café. Oliver introduced me to the owners Jeremy and his wife Mary. Then there was Scooter, one of the biggest players I ever met.
"Hey darlings, what can Scooter get for you? A kiss maybe or at least some cuddling?" he gave me a mischievous smile.
"Shut up Scooter, I am trying to get her to like this town not get on the next plane back home," Oliver came up behind me, brushing my back with his arm. He smelled so sweet and that accent made me want to fall over and die.
"That's only happened twice, Olly," they both smiled and laughed at the private joke they shared.
"Let's go Clare; I've got something else I would like to show you," his grabbed my hand and pulled me down the street. The whole time we walked he seemed a bit too close. For some odd reason I didn't mind. We walked to a outside of town to a little forest area. We advanced into the wooded area to find a break in the trees.
"Oh my goodness there's a little stream, it's so beautiful!" I exclaimed and ran over. He followed chuckling.
"I am glad you like it, I thought you would blue eyes," he laughed to himself. I stopped immediately and looked up. He seemed nervous at this.
"Excuse me?"
"Did I say something wrong?" he had a slight quiver to his voice.
"No it's just that my boyfriend calls me blue eyes," I looked down and put my finger in the cool water. He sat down on a log near me.
"Oh I didn't mean to take his nickname for you…" he stopped in the middle of his sentence. I picked up where he left off.
"No he never really had a nickname for me; I just miss him terribly," to keep from crying I played with the water. It was cool as it flowed over my hand.
He came and sat down almost on top of me. I played with my fingers, nervous.
"It's okay, you'll see him soon."
"Yeah I know," I shrugged. He pulled me into his arms and hugged me. It was unexpected and took me by surprise, but I still relaxed into his arms.
I don't know why but I had a twang of guilt in the back of my mind. I ignored it though. For some reason he just felt so right.
