Olivia stopped him again. "You shouldn't be used to this. No one should be used to someone cheating on them all the time. I don't want you to be use to it." She placed her hands on his chest. "I want to talk about this."
Lucas smiled and shook his head. "There is nothing to talk about." He took her hands off him. "Don't make this harder."
"Why shouldn't I?" She asked. "Why do you give up so easily? Are you that insecure?"
That got him quiet. No one ever actually challenged him when he wanted to walk away from a relationship. This was the reason why it was so hard for him to give up Olivia. He didn't want to give her up but felt that she wasn't happy enough with him so he had to.
"Luke I don't want to walk away from this. I like what we have going on. I don't care if you take another ten years to be ready. I like spending time with you."
"What about Robert?"
"What about him?" She asked in a louder voice. "You think I'm going to throw away our relationship for a guy I have barely known 24 hours? It was just a kiss. Nothing else."
He licked his lips and softly nodded. "Fine."
"Fine?'
He shook his head. "I don't know what to say when a girl defends her making out with another guy. I never actually got an apology so I'm not sure what goes on now."
Olivia smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I'm sorry. Now you accept my apology."
He nodded. "You're forgiven."
Olivia softly pressed her lips to his. She pulled him closer and kept kissing him. They stumbled to her couch and fell down. Lucas let his jacket fall to the ground from his hands.
He moved his hand over her waist and then gently cupped her breast. Olivia took his hand and removed it. It wasn't that she didn't like him doing it. It was more because it turned her on when he did that.
He kept kissing her and moved down to her neck. He gently pressed his body to hers.
Olivia instantly got turned on feeling his rock hard body on her. She closed her eyes as he kept placing small kisses on her neck. Some part of her wished she went with Robert because half the time she fooled around with Lucas she wished they could have sex. The other part of her hated herself for even considering cheating on someone as nice as her boyfriend.
He moved his hand on her breast again. She again moved it off. He broke the kiss. "What's wrong?"
"Just don't touch me there." She whispered back.
"Why not?" He asked. He knew that was a spot that got her hot.
"Because…it makes me not trust myself with you." She answered. "Just don't."
He looked confused for a second and then realized what she meant. "Because it turns you on?"
"Yes." She admitted.
He nodded softly. He was jealous of Robert for getting Olivia's attention. He knew Olivia was cynical so it was hard for her to trust people. He didn't feel ashamed to admit Robert intimated him when it came to women. Especially Olivia.
He took her hand and got up. He led her to her bedroom and sat her down on the bed. He slowly took off his shirt and moved on top of her. Olivia gently moved her hands over his abs and pecks.
Lucas slowly unbuckled his belt and jeans and then unbuttoned her jeans. His body tensed up involuntarily. If he was going to lose Olivia what was the point of keeping his promise? He would rather lose it to her then anyone else. He trusted her enough.
Olivia felt him pull her jeans off and spotted him place his hands on his boxers to take them off. She knew he didn't like to take his boxers off when he did give her oral. He never admitted the reason but she could defiantly guess. He was ashamed that he did get an erection so he wanted to make it go away right away.
She grabbed his hand before he did take them off. "What are you doing?"
"I thought you wanted this." He whispered.
She shook her head. "I want you to keep your promise to your mother."
He moved off her and sat on the edge of the bed. "I can't win with you can I?" He buttoned up his jeans.
She sat up also and pulled her jeans on. "Look…I want you to be ready."
"I am ready."
"No you're not. You're just doing this because of what happened tonight." She answered a little frustrated.
He got off the bed. "Don't tell me when I'm ready or not. Considering I'm the virgin over 20 in this room…sorry more like this city, I think I will know when I'm ready."
She got off the bed also. "Why do you make such a big deal about this? Just because you're a virgin doesn't mean you're a bad guy or you're someone not worth dating. Stop being so insecure Lucas."
He grabbed his shirt and pulled it on. "I don't need this from you. Especially tonight."
"Why especially tonight?"
He shook his head angrily. "You're going to question my insecurity after you make out with my best friend? You got some balls on you sweetheart."
"Robert has nothing to do with this!" She yelled. "You were insecure way before I even met him. You make such a big deal about this virginity thing!"
"It is a big deal!" He yelled back. "You think you would have looked at me twice after having sex with me on our first date?"
"What are you talking about?"
"If we had sex that night you wouldn't have called me the next morning. You wanted something to counter with your job thing. I was freaked out about your job so in return of me being understanding you would be understanding of my issue."
She crossed her arms on her chest since he was absolutely right. She did use his virginity to her advantage. She was way too stubborn to admit it though. "What goes around comes around huh? You think you would have stayed with me if I didn't understand about your virginity? I was just another chick to try this on. Congratulations, it worked."
He nodded. "So we basically just used each other." He shook his head. "This is the first time my relationship ended with a non sexual reason."
Olivia bit her lip. "We did say we wanted it to end for another reason."
He nodded and placed a gentle kiss on her cheek. "Bye Olivia." He turned around and left her room. He grabbed his jacket and pulled it on.
Olivia leaned on her doorway of her bedroom and just looked at him. "Bye Lucas."
He nodded and turned to look at her. "If you want to date Robert you have my blessing. No hard feelings. No jealousy. I'll stay out of the way." He waved a little and left her apartment.
Olivia just kept quiet and rested her head on the frame of her door. She shook her head hating to let him go. She wanted to fix every twist in him for some reason.
She laid in her bed and just stared at a photo of them she had on her closet door. She didn't want this to be over but they wanted different things. It had to end before either got hurt.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lucas laid in his bed reading a magazine. He took off his glasses and looked over at the spot next to him. She loved just sleeping in his bed. She wanted contact because she was so used to being alone.
He simply wanted her. He placed his magazine down realizing he was in love with her. He loved her all this time and he didn't even know it. He was too busy making sure he made her happy. He leaned his head back regretting what he just did. He lost her.
Lucas gently bit his lip hating himself for still wanting her to be happy. He wasn't going to go after her again because he knew she deserved better then him. She deserved to be happy and have someone that could actually satisfy her.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two weeks later…
Olivia sat across Robert at a nice restaurant. They were becoming close friends and were starting to acknowledge their dates as boyfriend and girlfriend. She didn't even talk to Lucas anymore. She saw him only in passing because Robert and him did hang out a lot.
"Interested in a little gathering at my apartment tonight?" He asked.
Olivia smiled a little. "Is that a British way to get me into bed Mr. Edmund?
He smirked and shook his head. "No Ms. Benson. It is a way to ask if you are free for a party. Couple of friends watching a football game."
"There isn't a game tonight. Oh you mean soccer?" She asked with a small laugh finding his accent extremely fun to mess with.
"Yes. Soccer." He rolled his eyes playfully. "Whatever you say. I think it's kind of dumb that you call it soccer. You call this American rugby football and you use your bloody hands. I just don't understand."
"I'll explain it to you one day sweetie. Don't get so emotional." She teased with a wink.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Olivia sat with Robert at one end of the couch as they watched a soccer game. Some of Robert's friends were around his apartment he bought recently.
Olivia gave him a kiss on the cheek. "I'm gonna get something to drink. I'll be right back." She got up and went to the kitchen. She spotted Lucas making a sandwich on the countertop.
He looked up at her and then back at what he was doing. "Hey."
"Hey" She nodded and opened the fridge. "Need mayo?" She asked knowing he loved it.
"I got it." He moved past her and got the bottle. "Having fun?" he put mayo on his bread and then spread it with a knife.
"Oh. Yea. Not a big fan of soccer though."
He nodded. "I know. I didn't mean tonight though. With Robby, you guys having fun?"
"Oh. Yea. He's a nice guy." She answered as she got a water bottle out of the fridge.
He smiled a little. "That's good. I'm glad you're happy."
She leaned on the counter top opposite of him. "Thanks. How you doing? Girlfriend?"
He shook his head. "No. I kind of gave up on that."
"On girls?"
He laughed a little. "No. My dad would kill me if I decided to bat for the other team if you know what I mean."
She laughed a little knowing his father was strict and religious even if Lucas wasn't. "Then what did you give up on?"
"Dating. Relationships. Doesn't really make sense to me anymore." He shrugged and kept making his sandwich.
"How come?" She asked. She knew he was a romantic type and did like to have a girlfriend since he always found something amazing about being dedicated to one person.
"It's stupid. Either way it ends. Someone gets hurt. I got sick of getting hurt that's all." He turned to look at her. "I'm sorry. I'm pretty sure relationships aren't stupid I just suck at them. Didn't mean to sound so whiny."
She shook her head. "It's fine. It's your opinion."
"Yea" He turned around again to get his sandwich. "You and Robby make a cute couple though." He told her with a nod. "It was nice talking to you again Liv." He left the kitchen.
Olivia bit her lip actually enjoying talking to him. She talked to Robert but somehow she couldn't talk on the phone with him all night like she could with Lucas when they dated. They could easily spend three hours talking about absolutely nothing.
She suddenly heard a loud noise in the living room. She quickly went over there and spotted Robert on the ground and some people holding Lucas back. Robert wiped his lip and got up. "Asshole."
"Fuck you Robert" Lucas got lose of his friends hold and grabbed his jacket. "Don't say that shit to me ever again or I'm going to rip your dick off and shove it up your British ass."
"Aren't we hostel tonight Lucas? What's wrong? Jealous? Your mother wouldn't be proud of that."
Lucas tried to hit him again but Olivia was the closest so she grabbed him. "You don't fucking talk about her! Don't you ever mention her again!" Lucas yelled angrily as Olivia held him back.
"C'mon. That's enough." She finally pushed him out of the apartment and closed the door behind her. "What is wrong with you?"
"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you?" He yelled. "What are you doing here? You don't hang out with these kind of people."
"First of all don't yell at me." She ordered angrily.
"Fine. Sorry." He lowered his voice.
She grabbed his arm and led him down the hall. "We're getting coffee. You need to calm down."
He stopped and pulled his arm away from her. "I don't need to calm down about anything. You're little boyfriend deserved what he got."
"What did he say?"
"Nothing you need to know about."
She grabbed his shirt and pushed him on the wall in the hallway. "Stop being a jerk. You are not an asshole that acts like this. I know you."
"You don't know me." He shook his head.
"I know you Lucas."
"If you knew me then you wouldn't have ended this." He pushed her hand away from him. "Have a nice life." He walked past her and went down the hallway again.
She instantly followed him. "You son of a bitch. You ended this not me. You said you wouldn't be jealous and you're fuming with jealousy."
He stopped and turned to look at her. "That was before I knew!" he yelled angrily.
"Knew what?"
He got quiet since they never told each other they loved one another. He loved her and that's the reason it was killing him to see her with his best friend. If it was another woman he probably wouldn't care that much. But this was Olivia. "Nothing. I'm sorry" He got on the elevator and kept his head down.
Olivia was about to follow him when she heard Robert's door open down the hall.
"Olivia c'mon. You're missing the game." Robert called over to her.
"Go ahead Olivia. Your boyfriend's calling you." Lucas leaned on the wall on the elevator.
Olivia said nothing as the elevator doors closed. She bit her lip and walked back to Robert. "Hey I think I'm gonna go home. I'm getting tired. I have work tomorrow."
He nodded and placed a kiss on her cheek. "You want me to walk you to your car darling?"
"No its fine. Watch the game. I'll talk to you tomorrow." She returned the kiss and walked away from him.
"Goodnight sweetheart" He called over. She smirked and waved.
She went down the elevator and then went out the building. She spotted Lucas about to get in his car. "Lucas"
He stopped and turned around. "What?"
She went over to him and wrapped her arm around his neck. She said nothing and pressed her lips to his. He took it by surprise and gently took her face in his hands and kept kissing her. They kissed for a while before stopping.
"What was that for?" He whispered against her lips.
"I'm not sure." She whispered with a small laugh.
He nodded a little and placed another small kiss on her lips. "I love-" Before he could finish his sentence her phone rang. "Silent ringers."
"Sorry." She took her phone out. "It's work."
He just nodded. She answered it and talked for a couple of minutes. She hung up and looked over at him. "You have to go?" He asked.
"Yeah." She nodded. "I want to talk to you later about this."
"Sure." He gave her a kiss on the cheek.
She turned to walk away but he grabbed her arm and pulled her back. "What?" She asked.
"I love you." He whispered.
She just stared at him. She wasn't ready for that. She never actually had someone tell her that before she had sex with the person. "Um…thanks."
He raised an eyebrow and let go of her arm. "Um…your welcome?"
She bit her lip as she started blushing. "I have to go to work."
"Right." He nodded.
She said nothing else and went to her car being very embarrassed how she handled that. She opened her car door but stopped. "I love you." She called over to him.
He looked up and glanced at her. "Thanks" He smiled with a wink and got in his car. Olivia laughed and got in her car. She took off first with him following.
