Olivia was in the kitchen making a coffee... she felt utterly exhausted... hardly any sleep last night, thoughts swirling round her head... now it had time to sink in... what was she doing with Peter? Leading him on...? Falling in love? What?
She left half an hour later and arrived to a packed car park. Olivia felt her heart sink... ok... but maybe this may take her mind off things... well... tomorrow... when she would talk with Peter about what was happening between them.
Peter woke at half past ten and had a pounding headache... he took a sip of water and some pills by his bed and tried to get some more sleep... no plans today... except a lot of thinking to do... Tomorrow... what would happen when they talked about it and where...? They couldn't exactly chat at work could they? Before work...? no... not appropriate... after work...? yes... after work somewhere.
Olivia trudged round the store trying to get what she wanted and needed.
She thought about Peter and what he was thinking now about it all... yesterday she had felt elated... happy... now she felt confused and frankly terror... why had she fallen for Peter Stone.
Peter woke up in the early afternoon and felt drained still... emotionally. He should stop this now between him and Olivia... it would all go wrong... he would fall even harder for Olivia this needs to stop now... Peter got up to get something to eat from the kitchen slightly shaking... god... tomorrow was getting closer and he was more scared of his feelings than he was going to court.
Olivia got home and sank into the chair after making some cup of tea.
She picked up her mobile and typed out a text to Peter... 'How are you today? O x'
She picked up a biscuit and munched on it mindlessly... what had she done that for... started a conversation again when Peter had said to think about things.
Peter read Olivia's text and sighed... oh god.. what should he type back... he was laying on the sofa, his head still sore and looking at his laptop... maybe he would reply later.
Olivia kept glancing at her phone... nothing... her heart lurched... maybe she shouldn't have sent that text.
She made some dinner for herself.She checked her phone again after washing up... still nothing... oh god... what was going on...
Finally at 9pm her phone flashed with a text... 'We need time to think, Peter'.
What did that mean...? Olivia's heart lurched again... with disappointment... time to think? more time? did Peter not want to talk tomorrow now then? Oh god... Olivia lay down on the sofa... her head was hurting and now her heart... she had a bad feeling about this... what would happen tomorrow now?
