After a long delay or what we call writer's block i'm back and another couple of chappies have been done but finding the time to put them up will cause me trouble for i have a couple of assignments to get done but never fear i'll find a way, cause i'm sure you want to know whether Laura and Oliver get together, does Katie try anything again, and where the hell is Alicia?

I've been watching, I've been waiting
In the shadows for my time
I've been searching, I've been living
For tomorrows all my life

In the Shadows - The Rasmus

That Taught him for Drinking Too Much.

Laura stepped out of the black cab looking up to see her new apartment, it was an old warehouse divided into three different apartments, Laura's being the one on the end which looked out over the Thames. She paid the cab driver walking up the steps, unlocking the door she walked into the entrance where she was greeted by a spiral staircase. Laura sighed as she walked up heading into the main living room seeing all her boxes along with some new furniture. Dropping her bag on the floor Laura checked out the two bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen and laundry before returning the main room where she opened the first box, it was going to be a long day.

Oliver didn't return to his apartment heading to the nearest bar instead. After a few drinks he went for a walk, it was only just seven and still light out, he found a park bench sitting down. Folding his arms across his chest he sighed, the two people he thought were his friends had destroyed his relationship with the woman he loved, of course he hadn't forgotten Laura's part but Alicia the photographer, it didn't seem true, he couldn't get his head round it. A woman walking past caught his eye, he didn't mean it gawk but she was pretty. Oliver blinked a few times standing up following her as she walked along towards an old warehouse. The woman walked up the stairs to the right end door walking in. Oliver followed standing at the bottom of the stairs holding onto the rail. She was slowly closing her door when she saw him. She ran down the steps, he could see her mouth moving but couldn't hear what she was saying then everything went black.

Laura looked round the main living room hands on hips, everything had a place and she thought it looked great, a grumble from the spare bedroom grabbed her attention, she walked in to see Oliver sitting up holding his head. She smiled, that taught him for drinking too much. Laura didn't know how he found her but he did a good job of finding her. She walked over sitting on the edge beside him, Oliver rubbed his eyes.
"What are you doing here?" He groggily asked.
"I live here.You blacked out at the bottom of my steps." Laura replied pouring a glass of water then handing it to him. He took it taking a couple of sips.
"I didn't even know you were here." He said slightly frowning.
"You must just have a sixth sense when it comes to me." Laura replied with a small smile. Oliver chuckled.
"Yeah." They sat there for awhile not saying anything until Oliver had finished his glass of water, Laura took the glass placing it on the bedside table.
"You can stay here as long as you want, unless you want me to call Katie?" Laura asked, Oliver shook his head.
"Katie and I are over." Laura opened her mouth to speak but Oliver got in first.
"It wasn't your fault, it was hers and Alicia's."
"Alicia?" Laura asked with a frowned.
"Don't you worry about it." Oliver replied with a smile, Laura nodded standing up.
"Get some rest, it's late and I'll make you breakfast in the morning." She left closing the door behind her, Alicia. Laura wondered what she had to do with Oliver and Katie breaking up, whatever it was she'd find out soon.

The next morning Laura was up early, she pulled on her robe walking out of her room to see Oliver out on the balcony looking out over the Thames. Laura walked over leaning in the doorway.
"Great view isn't it?" She asked, Oliver turned round a small smile appearing on his face.
"Yeah, not as good as the Hogwarts views though." Laura nodded in agreement placing her hands on her hips.
"So what would you like for breakfast?" She asked.
"I'm not actually that hungry." Oliver replied and Laura laughed.
"Says Mr. I use to eat truck loads every morning." Oliver shrugged following her back into the house. Laura grabbed some eggs and bacon placing them on the bench. Oliver watched as she grabbed the pan placing it on the stove, he leaned on the counter frowning.
"If I remember rightly you weren't much of a cook." Laura looked at him breaking a couple of eggs into the pan.
"After living with Sara you learn quite a bit." She replied. She turned round back facing Oliver, he couldn't help but watch her they were talking as if nothing had ever happen between them. Laura turned back round noticing Oliver was staring at her, she busied herself putting their breakfast on their plates, then handed one to Oliver making their way over to the table. They sat across from each other silently eating.
"This is good, really good." Oliver said, Laura smiled.
"Thanks." Again silence took over and all that could be heard was the humming from the street below. Laura pushed her chair back carrying her plate into the kitchen walking back out over to Oliver where she went to take his plate from him their fingers lightly brushing each others, their eyes met and Laura could feel herself blushing again.
"You can have the bathroom first if you want." Laura said quickly walking into the kitchen, Oliver got up following her. He wasn't about to let her get away that quickly. Laura placed the dishes in the dishwasher when she felt a hand brush her hair to one side then a pair of warm lips gently kissing her neck and shoulder.
"Ollie." She whispered, he pulled away letting her turn round.
"I'm sorry, I should've asked." Oliver replied but Laura flung her arms round his neck passionately kissing him, he was taken aback but quickly coped returning the kiss. They broke apart breathing heavily, Laura ran her hands down his chest to where his robe was tied up, she slowly undid it watching his face for any sigh that should stop when it didn't happen she kissed him again letting his robe drop to the floor. Oliver almost in the land of no return wasn't going to stop now, he couldn't so when they broke apart for another breather he picked Laura up flinging her on his shoulder.
"Ollie put me down." Laura squealed then giggled as he carried her into her bedroom kicking the door shut.
