Olivia's Point of View
By this point I had known; his favorite colour, food, song, band, movie, tv show, and his top ten animals. Dylan on the other hand knew that I liked the color purple, and didn't like eggplant. "Dylan the point of this is to hit the target… it's just a sheet of paper attached to a hay bail." I chuckled.
"What if I want you to ask me questions?" He laughed as I shook my head walking towards him.
"Come on Dylan, with Gil in charge you will need to protect yourself. Now do it like I showed you." I told him, as he raised his arm extending them outwards aiming at the target. He squeezed the trigger hitting the target right next to the bulls eye on the head.
"Wow great job." I smiled looking at him, as he lowered his gun. "Not going to give me that?" He asked slowly.
"Give you that as a bulls eye? Really? No way, you're like 5 inches from the center." I laughed.
"Still a kill shot." He huffed crossing his arms. "No, sweetheart… that would have grazed the persons ear."
"Oh come on, I've been letting you win this whole time." He joked.
"There is no winning or loosing when it comes to shooting another human being." I told him softly, "If you've been losing on purpose show me… unload you clip." I ordered him.
"Then what?" He asked me, "Depends where your bullets hit, big shot now shoot." I smirked.
"You make it seem like this isn't the first time you've done this…"
"My father's a cop and my best friend's family owns a rather large drug trade… I think it's safe to say I know and can do a lot of things normal girls can't." He just shook his head at my answer before raising his gun up and unloading the entire clip into the target. Every shot hitting the target in random places, except three that landed dead center on the targets 'head'.
"Now if I recall, this means you have to answer Eleven questions and –" I held my finger to his lips, before slowly trailing my finger down his chest before taking his hand dragging him behind me as we ventured a small way to some benches near by.
He sat down next to me with a grin on his face as I placed the guns down next to me. "Kisses, are last so get your many annoying questions out of the way." I said as a cheeky grin etched onto my lips.
"All right, all right. Why did you let me stay with you that night?" he asked me.
I looked away from him only to feel his hand slowly and gently move my head to face him again, "It reminded me of my mother." I told him, "She used to help out at the local shelter before they town shut them down… she would always bring home some of the children. Scared them being their at night with addicts would disturb them." I told him.
"I took you in because, I felt showing her that I could be the same amount of selfless that maybe she wasn't completely gone. You know?" I finished.
"Your mom sounds like she was a great woman." He told me taking his hand away from my face. "She was." I smiled.
"When I got out of the shower, at your house what did you think… because I know you saw." He winked at me.
"Well I did agree to date you." I laughed, "Thanks Liv… thanks." He teased.
"You to be honest where the first guy I had seen naked in a really long time." I told him, "You're a virgin?" He said in disbelief. I couldn't help but laugh, "No, no… just since I lost it I haven't seen anyone naked." I told him.
"So you where impressed then?" He asked. "Everything about you Dylan, impresses and entices me… I don't know what it is about you that draws me in." I told him.
"When you figure it out, let me know." He chuckled. "When you and my mom where alone in the kitchen what happened? She seems to love you."
I knew if I lied to him about it, that the likelihood of it coming back and biting me in the ass where very high. I looked up at him; "We bonded over a shared experience. Keith the man who was tormenting your mother, who probably killed my mother… had tried assaulting me as a young girl." I told him as he moved closer to me.
"He didn't need to try with your mother, he just did. You're mother is a remarkably strong woman Dylan. She may drive you nuts, lie to you, or even hurt you emotionally but everything she does is to protect you." I told him.
"Keith raped my mom?" He questioned angrily as I nodded. "I don't know everything but I do know that same night Keith died. He swallowed hard, "I didn't know but it explains how overly clean they have been with the kitchen the past few days.
I laughed, "I guess so."
"Why didn't you tell me you worked in the business? I thought you where a waitress." He questioned.
"I was a waitress, but my friend Jodi made me an offer that I couldn't refuse. However I have been helping her here and there for a few years, on the side." I explained.
"Really?" He sounded surprised, "So you always knew what they where doing?" He asked.
"Its one of those, everyone knows and no one talks about it." I sighed
"That cop, Shelby your dad's partner… he seemed slightly upset that you where with me… what's going on with that?" He questioned.
"Remember the night you and I met? How I was dressed all nice? Well I was supposed to be on a date with him however he chose that rather then telling my father know he would ditch me on the side of the road, cancel our reservations and leave. Was supposed to be our first date after months of harmless yet intense flirting… figures he'd chuck me aside the moment he could." I told him as I let out a harsh sigh.
"It always seemed weird that he'd act like I was invisible till I turned 18 than I was his main focus… almost like me being 'of age' was a moment for him." I added. "Like whatever he and Keith where up too you being his girlfriend was a way to keep your dad's loyalty focused?" He asked me.
"Maybe, Shelby and Keith's friendship never made sense to me ever, my dad used to question it too… that and the reason the motel was in for closure was because he made no profits, so he wasn't paying rent." I commented.
"What do you mean? How?" He questioned me.
"Well, the motel was never open… and the road would randomly be closed with police roadblocks. Roadblocks that where never approved by my father, so clearly things were going on that Keith and Shelby didn't want anyone else to know."
"Wow, that's shady." He sighed. "I know, which makes me question what's going to happen now that your mom owns the motel, and Keith is 'missing'."
He shrugged, "That and the police constantly haggling my mom." He added. "Careful with that…" I warned him.
I looked at him before placing my hand on his leg, "Hey, we'll figure this all out… no one else is going to get hurt. If we can help it." I smiled at him as he chuckled. "Good, least of all you." He grinned back.
"Well enough of the depressing stuff." He laughed. "If I could take you anywhere in this town to impress you, where would that be?"
"Well there's this spot, it's a hot spot in the woods. It's a local hot spot for couples… a lot of the kids go there but… after hours in the moon light it's really romantic." I told him calmly.
"Oh really?" He teased, punching him in the arm I looked away from him, "Yea, obviously. I'll take you where sometime. It's actually really nice."
"You mean I'll take you?" He smirked. "What going to ask Ethan where it is?" I laughed, "Maybe?" He laughed.
I was getting tired of all the questions, mainly because of all the ones before, relating to Keith and Shelby. I knew he wasn't asking to upset me but it still did. I think till I know for sure what happened to my mother; Keith would always be a sensitive subject for me. I could see in his face he was formulating a question in his mind. He was running out of things to ask that weren't related to knowing my secrets.
He wanted to know my secrets, because I guess he felt it brought him closer to me. However in this town having secrets only made you weak to your enemies, my father being the Sheriff gave me enough enemies. I was only safe because of Jodi, Zane and James. Jodi's creepy boyfriend, I knew even though they where dating she had always slept around on him. Which I always assumed was an agreement between the two of them.
I moved myself closer to Dylan placing my one hand on the back of his head pulling his head closer to me as I pressed my lips against his taking in all his warmth. I felt him wrapped his arm around me pulling me up into his lap placing his free hand behind my head. His lips were so soft and enticing, I hated myself for falling so him so quickly.
Anything that started this quickly never lasted long, and yet I refused to do anything to stop it. He made me feel so warm, so at peace, and yet I barely knew him. I loved the time I spent with his mom, a woman he seemed to curse. Maybe it was the fact that he had a mom and I didn't have one around at all.
I felt him pull away from me slightly as I only pulled him back to me, deepening the kiss. I could feel his lips curve into a smile as he had continued to kiss me. I felt him tighten his arm around my waist as I pushed my fingers through his hair. I moved away from his face slightly biting his lip lightly as I could hear a flow growl escape his lips.
"There, one of your three kisses." I grinned, "Next question?"
"That was just one?" He exclaimed, "What was I just supposed to peck you on the cheek?" I laughed.
"No!" He practically shouted causing me to laugh even more, "It was a welcome surprise." He grinned.
"And Dylan if you want to ask me things relating to my past… go for it… I know I'll figure you out soon enough." He smiled at me, "I wasn't trying to offend you if I did."
"You didn't, it's just touchy." I explained.
"All right. Do you think you'll ever introduce me to your dad?" He asked.
"Like I met your mom and Norman?" I questioned as he nodded.
"I will, just when things surrounding your mom cool down a bit more." I smiled at him, "My dad will like you, I know he will. He's just… not the guy people think he is." I said as he nodded leaving it at that.
"My last five questions I hand to you." He grinned, "Can't think of anything else?" I laughed as he nodded, "Fine…" I chuckled sliding off his lap.
"Why did you have to follow your mom and Norman out here… rather than go there with them?" I asked. "Kind of strange."
"Norman and I have different dad's… when his dad died, Norma took him and basically got right out of dodge. Got his insurance money and bought this place never looked back. I only knew they left when I was informed of Sam's death… tracking them down was the fun part."
"You had to track them down? Like they didn't want you to know where they went?"
"Exactly." He snapped. "Well now I get why you have such a grudge there."
He nodded, "Yea, it's like you with Keith… touchy."
"Why did you come then? Knowing they left you on purpose?" I asked.
"As much as the things Norma put me through pissed me off, and as much as she may have acted like I was one thing she didn't want… they are my family… and I wanted to be with them."
"I get that, as much as I do things that would only push my father and I apart. I will always push my front to show him that I'm still his little girl." I expressed to him.
"What made you talk to me in the Café?" I asked him, "I mean other than the fact I was in a dress while in a dumpy café." I chuckled.
"It wasn't the dress, I'll get that off the table now." He smiled at me, "Oh yea?" I asked him softly.
"Olivia." He said my name, caused me to get goose bumps all along my arms. "You are the reason I wanted to talk to you in the café." He explained to me as he pushed a strand of hair behind my ear giving me a soft kiss against my bottom lip as I felt myself pull myself back into his arms wrapping my arms around his neck.
"Thank you." I said softly.
"For what?" He asked.
"Being kind, I guess." I replied. "I'm being honest, Liv. You're beautiful… I honestly thought you would just blow me off… but you talking to me, inviting me to stay with you… just showed me that you're beautiful inside and out." He smiled at me placing a soft kiss against my lips again.
"So then how come you never made a move on me when we where at my place? You where so kind, you made me food… you made sure I was comfortable…"
He chuckled; "Not every guy is a pig like that Shelby clown Liv, I would never do anything to you unless I knew you wanted me to. I would never take advantage of you." He told me as I grinned at him pulling he closer to me again kissing him again.
"Do we still have to shoot at this range?" He questioned when he pulled from me again.
"No, I guess not." I smiled at him.
"What are you up to later?" He asked me.
"Dinner with my dad, I was kind of a snitch to him the other night… so I'm making it up to him." I sighed, "Tomorrow after your first shift, we should do something." I told him.
"First shift?" He questioned.
"Yea, you're on watch." I laughed, "You and Ethan in the woods…" I continued laughing, "Bring lots of stuff to do, I don't think they have cell service." I informed him.
"Oh god…" He rolled his eyes, "Guessing you can't visit either?"
I shook my head, "Nope. However, if you can text. I will entertain you the entire time." I smiled at him.
"Great, here… take a picture with me." He said suddenly as I furrowed my brow. "Why?" I asked him.
"So if I can't text you I have something nice to look at. It will just be me, dope and Ethan… none of which are in any way shape or form beautiful." He smirked.
"Fine." I rolled my eyes playfully, still on his laps I moved so that my cheek was against his looking at his phone as he snapped a picture of us next to each other smiling into the picture.
"Perfect." He chuckled. "Drive me back to my moms?" He then asked.
"I guess so, enjoy your last night of freedom." I laughed as we both walked back towards my car. "Hey Liv?" He called to me as he walked around the car.
"What's up?"
"I'm glad he ditched you that night… I think out of everything that's happened in my life, you may actually be the one good thing that's I've had." He grinned as I smirked. "I'll return the guns later, I have to come back with Jodi anyway." I told him as he smirked. "Girl talk?"
"With Jodi? Of course there will be, it's a given." I laughed as I drove him back to the motel.
