A Love Like This
Chapter 3
PLESE READ BOTH AN'S
Hi everyone. I'm sorry this chapter took me so long to write, but I had a family emergency and I also have a huge problem concerning one of my guy friends. Since I am too pathetic to solve this problem on my own, I have decided to ask for everyone's help. Here is the link: honestadvice./index.cgi?actiondisplay&boardteens&thread1205880258&page1
These is my actual problem that I posted and if you think you can help, please send me a PM (Just cuz I enjoy getting them)
Okay. Enough of my problems, more of Lilly and Oliver's. The song Shawty is a Ten is mentioned in this, mostly cuz when you call my guy friend, this song plays instead of the usual ring…ring… Sorry. Useless info.
Third chapter:
For three days, my phone had been ringing nonstop. You might be thinking "Hey she must be pretty popular," but all of those calls were from OLIVER. Yes, Oliver Oken.
"Shawty rock to the beat for your boy, shawty, yeah do it." I rolled my eyes. He was calling AGAIN.
"Shawty is the s-s-s-s-sugar on the iced tea." I finally just grabbed my phone and yelled "What the hell do you want?"
"Are you PMS-ing Lilly?" I could hear his familiar smile even over the phone.
You know you don't want to be mad at him anymore.
Of course I do. He was a jerk to me.
But you think he's cute.
So?
So that means you can't be mad at him for long.
In case you didn't hear, I have a boyfriend.
Yeah, that looks exactly like Oliver.
"THAT DOESN"T MEAN ANYTHING!" I yelled
"What?"
Holy shit! I said that out loud. "Nothing. I was talking to Tamara." I lied; glad my little sister wasn't around to say "What?" In her annoying way when someone says her name.
"Oh. Tell her I said-"
"What do you want Oken. Seriously." I interrupted.
"Ooh, hurry to get off the phone are we?" Oliver teased. Damn him and his cute teasing ways.
"I have a date with your brother in an hour and I need to get ready."
"That's actually what I called about."
"Okay…continue."
"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FREAKIN MIND?" He yelled.
"Why?" I couldn't bring myself to yell at him right now.
"Max only likes you because he thinks you're sexy, as weird as that sounds."
"So? That's a problem?" I didn't believe one thing that came out of his mouth.
"I would think so, knowing you."
There was an awkward silence, something that happened almost never when I'm around Oliver.
"We got new neighbors." Oliver cleared his through. "They have a daughter our age."
"Really? What's her name?"
"It was Keisha, it was Sonja, it was Tanya, it was Monique. It was Nece, it was KeKe." He sang out.
"Hey! How I see you at twenty three all I can say…" We sang at the same time.
"I have heard that song enough times this weekend thanks to you." I giggled.
"Just kidding. Her name is Alexia, but Lexie."
"Oh. Is she pretty?"
"Yeah, very."
"Oliver? That's your cue to say 'no, she's fine!'"
"Well, she isn't sexually appealing." Damn, when did he get so smart?
"Do you have a dictionary next to you, by chance?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Just wondering." DO they have the word fine in the dictionary?
"Well, I don't want to delay you from your date-getting-ready-time, so bye."
"Kay, call me later."
"Will do. Bye Lills."
"Bye Ollie."

"You look beautiful tonight." Max smiled when I opened the door.
"C'mon, before my mom wants to take a picture." We hurried down the driveway into his gorgeous Mustang.
Less than ten minutes later, we pulled up to Red Lobster.
If you were dating Oliver, he wouldn't have brought you here.
Damn it, what are you doing here?
I'm your brain, I'm always here.
Why wouldn't Oliver have brought me here?
'Cause he knows you hate fish.
Not all fish.
Really? Name one kind of fish that you can eat without gagging.
Umm… those little goldfish crackers.
You do not know how pathetic that sounded.
So?
Why don't you just dump Maxi-pad over there and go out with Oliver?
Because Oliver doesn't like me.
Yes he does.
How can you tell?
He sang to you over the phone.
He didn't sing to me, he sang something over the phone.
But it was a song that you love.
Again, what does
that have to do with anything?
You don't like Max and
you are in love with Oliver
Am not
Are too. We could make one of those name-combining thingies like Tomkat, or Bennifer.
Do it and die.
LOLIVER! That is your name combining thingy.
I hate you.
Um, I'm your brain, so technically you hate yourself.
"Lilly?" Max interrupted my argument with my brain.
"Huh?"
"Do you wanna go sit down?" He was way too nice to me.
"Sure."
We eventually got to the back of the restaurant where all of the little two-seater tables are and the lights are always dim.
"So, have you talked to Oliver lately?"
"Yeah, this morning, why?"
"Just wondering." He looked away immediately.
Was Oliver right about him?
Of course he was.
"Leave me the hell alone!"
"Are you talking to me?" Max cocked his head to the side to show he was confused.
"Um, no. These solicitors keep calling my phone and they're calling again." I was never a good liar.
Luckily, Max didn't notice "Do you want me to tell them something?" He sounded genuinely concerned.
"That's okay. I just won't answer anymore."
"No, let me tell them something."
"Max, no."
"What if they're stalking you or something?" He made a grad for my phone.
"My dad is a cop; he can take care of me."
"But when do you ever see your dad?"
That made me stop talking all together. I haven't seen my dad since he left my mom.
"Max, I want to go home."
"But we haven't even eaten yet."
"Max, I want to go home." I repeated, a little more forcefully.
"Okay, let me get the check at least."
I sat and waited. Finally, we were ready to go.

"Hello?" A somewhat groggy voice asked.
"Ollie?" I sobbed softly.
"Lilly?" Suddenly it sounded as if he was wide awake. "What's wrong?"
"Um, can you come over?" I sniffled.
"Yeah, let me sneak out. I'll be over in a few minutes."
"Kay thanks."
"No problem Lilly."
"See you in a few."
"Bye."

"What happened to you?" Oliver remarked when I opened the door. I know I looked horrible with my mascara running down my face and everything, but come on!
"Your brother happened to me."
"What did that bastard do now?" He asked and we sat next to each other on the couch.
"He said some stuff about my dad."
"Like what?"
I shook my head "You'll think I'm stupid."
"Lilly," He lifted my chin so we were looking directly into each other's eyes.
"I had to make up a bit of a lie and we got in a fight and I said something about my dad and he yelled 'When do you ever get to see him?'"
It was silent and I was worried that he might think I was over reacting until he said "That's low."
"SO, you don't think I'm stupid?" I asked.
"No, you have a right to be upset." He wrapped me in a big hug, one that I hadn't got for a long time from him.
"You should probably get home. I don't want you to get in trouble." I mumbled into his shoulder.
He sighed. "I guess you're right." He stood up. I did the same and walked him to the door.
"Bye."
"Bye Lills." Fast as lightning, he bent down and kissed my cheek. With that, he walked into the dark night.
I touched my check where his lips had just been. I smiled, hoping something would come of that little kiss.
Needless to say, I can't wait until I hear Shawty is a Ten again.
Well, that's it. I know it is incredibly crappy but there you go. The song is Shawty is a Ten by the Dream. Please review and help me with my problem.
