Always & Forever
27.
Olivia's POV:
I sit on the side of the lifeguard boat that rests on the beach. I look straight to the ocean and the crashing waves is something I find very amusing. Then in the corner of my eye I see familiar brown curls blowing from the light wind coming my way.
I don't have energy to move right now, I am gearing myself up for a shift at the diner.
"So is this progress, your not walking away in the other direction."
Last time he tried to approach me I yelled at him and walked away. I can't believe he thought I would lie to him about kissing another guy. Then he learnt the truth and tried to crawl back like a lost puppy, but I didn't get him the satisfaction.
"I'm not the one in the wrong, so if you want to go back they way you came don't let me stop you." I reply.
"Look I get you hate me right now, I hate me right now."
I stand up from where I was sitting. "So why are you even talking to me?" I huff in frustration as I continue to walk and he shadows my movements.
"I wanted to apologise for jumping to conclusions with you and Hunter. Just like you jumped to conclusions about me and Lindsay." I stop us in our tracks.
"Anyway, I was hoping we could sort this out, please."
"Yea I think there is a word for that. Delusional."
"So is that it?" I ask him and he nods a little.
"cool." I leave him there and head to the diner to get to my shift.
"There you go." I smile and hand the two customers their coffees.
"Waitress" I hear clicking fingers. I cringe at the site of her.
"Yes Lindsay what can I get you." I get my notepad out ready to take her order so she can wear it.
"Umm I probably shouldn't have onions since I will be hanging out with Harry later on." My fist goes into a tight grip.
"I'll have a peppermint tea."
"Honey you need to take a deep breath." El tries to clam me. "Don't let her win."
"She said she is going to be with Harry though."
"That's crazy, Louis just text me there going to some game today." My mind is at ease.
"What no tip?" I ask Lindsay as she pays for her tea. "I didn't enjoy my service."
"Oh that's a shame, but it's actually a legal thing you have to do." I remind her of the United States rules.
She hands me one dollar and I fake smile.
I get home after a long day form work, Lyn is still there with Jo closing up and Chris is out like always and El is hanging out with Louis he and the boys just got back from a baseball game. I quickly change into some shorts and a tank top and throw on a cardigan. I check my phone and it's only nine. It's a Friday night and I have nothing to do how sad?
School starts in a couple weeks maybe I could start some work, god no. As I glance at the pile of books on my desk.
I contemplate in my mind to go or not.
I mean we both got our wires crossed and communication is poor. I stop overthinking it and just go with it.
I walk to Harry's caravan and she is always in the way. Maybe Harry is with Lindsay now. I see her hands go towards his cheeks and she is puckering up, and I am dying inside.
"Lindsay I said go away." He pushes her off him and my heart beat picks up again. I smile internally and externally. She leaves lets hope for good this time.
I walk over to him . "Olivia, I swear she was." I take his hand. "I know Harry. I know."
He looks at our hands that are now intertwined. "Does this mean you forgive me?" He whispers. I nod my head and I finally press my lips against his.
