Chapter 16 – New Boots
Even after the case had been closed. Tash was safe and Justin was spending the rest of his life in jail, Olivia couldn't stop looking through all the cases and paper work. Anything that sounded like it had something to do with John.
It was late, almost midnight. Tash was crashing at Olivia's apartment and would spend the next few weeks there. Peter had taken Walter home, he had been whining like a baby about some experiment he was working on, and if he didn't get home they would die. Olivia had waved them both off and Peter left with a longing glance at her but she just smiled it off.
Knock Knock
Olivia's eye's shot up and came to land on a very handsome looking Peter. "Did u honestly expect me to leave you here, with out saying a proper goodbye?" Peter waltzed into the office and laid a large box on Olivia's desk.
"What's this?" Olivia pointed to the box with the back of her pen.
"This, is a present. Open it." Olivia watched as he bounced on his heels in excitement.
Bring the box closer to her Olivia lifted the lid to reveal a brand new pair of Bauer Supreme TotalOne hockey skates.
"Sizing is prefect and they are freshly sharpened." Olivia looked up at Peter with a knowing eyes. She watched as Peter walked over to her and knelt down, "Livia, I know yours were ruined so I wanted to get you a new pair." Taking Olivia's hand Peter almost dragged her out the back door of the lab, which Olivia hadn't even noticed was there, and down a path. In front of them was a frozen over lake surrounded by small garden lights.
"Peter, what is this?" Olivia was in awe.
"Don't you want to try out your skates?" Watching Peter lace up his boots, Olivia followed suit.
Touching the ice in new boots was an amazing feeling and Peter couldn't help but just watch her glide around the ice in her own world. As she came past him, Peter grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him.
"Olivia, this is where you belong. On the ice and in my heart." Bringing her mouth to his he kissed her passionately. Holding her close was the only thing he watched to do and so there they stood, in each others arms. Holding each other.
"I love you Liv."
A sharp breath was inhaled by Olivia.
"I love you too."
Standing in the distance John's figure was covered by the swaying trees. With an evil smile forming on his lips he watched the two move around the ice together. Turning his back to the couple he began to walk away. Taking his phone out of his pocket he dialed a familiar number.
"She's ready."
The evil smile never left his lips.
Sorry it was short but my mind is on the story I am co-writing with Angels-heart 1at the moment.
Hope it was enjoyable none the less.
