Trouble in Paradise
((A/N I updated it to PG, only because it has small doses of profanity not much, but still.))
"O-Oliver!? What are you doing here?"
Alicia stuttered, making her way towards him.
"Who is that?"
Matt wondered to himself.
"I came here because of the Quidditch Team here, I was trying out.. What are you doing here?"
Alicia blinked, then shrugged.
"Dad, Diane, Jodie and I are all here for vacation. We're staying the summer here."
"Oh.. Um, who is your friend here?"
Oliver asked, eyeing Matt. Matt follows Alicia over to Oliver. .
"Oliver Wood, meet Matthew Barrett. Matt, meet Oliver, he's a friend from my quidditch team at school. And Oliver, Matt works at the hotel I'm staying at."
"Hello"
"Hello"
They both said stiffly, and shook hands. Alicia watches the two nervously, lacing her fingers with her own nervously. All was silent; they all stood there looking at each other.
"So. What hotel are you staying at Oliver?"
She asked, breaking the silence.
"Hm?" Oliver asked, shaking his head. "Oh, I'm staying at the Beau Bâtiment. What about you?"
"Oh great!"
Alicia thinks to herself.
"Really? That's where I'm staying to."
"What a coincidence."
Oliver said, looking at Alicia.
"I guess it is. So uh, when do you have the team tryouts?"
"In 2 weeks.. I'm really nervous."
"Oliver Wood. I can't believe you! You're the best keeper for miles around. I'm sure you'll make the team."
She smiled, and Oliver smiled back. All while this was happening, Matt stood listening to them, he didn't like this Oliver guy very much, it was just something about him. Alicia turned to Matt.
"Why are you so quiet?"
Matt glanced at Oliver, then turned to Alicia.
"I just don't feel well right now."
"Gah. Maybe you should go back to the hotel and rest a little while before dinner, you might feel better if you lay down."
Matt nods.
"I guess I should. I'll see you later Ali. Nice to meet you Oliver"
His voice wasn't necessarily 'sincere' at the mention of Oliver's name.
"Likewise."
Oliver said, looking at Matt with disgust, he had always been the one who called her Ali, who did this French guy think he was? Oliver sneered as Alicia and Matt said goodbye. Then Matt waved to them, and walked off. Oliver smiled when Alicia turned around to face him.
"So how have you been?"
"I've been good. Though I've missed you, and everyone else on the team.."
She sighs and Oliver puts a comforting hand on her shoulder. Alicia smiles, and blushes slightly. Oliver smiles.
"So.Um, what's the deal with that Matthew guy?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well. You and him were almost kissing when I came up."
"Oh." She shrugs sheepishly "He's just a really nice guy." She looks up at Oliver.
Oliver nods, and looks at her, he smiles slightly.
"Just checking.. Now, we can't have Precious Ali running around with French boys can we?"
He laughs and so does Alicia.
"Shall we start walking?"
"Sure."
Oliver takes Alicia's hand and Alicia smiles widely, his touch like electricity, so alive. The two start walking through the park, admiring the scenery.
"I've never been to France before. But it's so pretty here.."
Oliver nods.
"Indeed."
They continue to walk for about an hour, just talking about random things, school, quidditch, and other things. They come back to the entrance to the park.
"Oliver? What time is it?"
Oliver flicks his wrist to look at his watch.
"It's uh. 7:30. Why?"
"Crap! C'mon! We have to get back to the hotel. Dinner starts in half an hour!"
"Shit!"
Oliver grabs her hand, and they start running. They bum rides from a couple of kids on bicycles, and make it to the hotel with 15minutes to spare.
"I'll see you later Oliver, I have to go find my dad, and Diane."
Alicia runs up the stairs to find her family.
