A very puffed cheeked Olivia started to change out of her bathrobe and back into her regular clothes. She slammed the locker door and looked at the time on her phone. Her Aunt Amy had another hour left of her pampering time, Olivia let out a big sigh "What am I going to do now?" she mumbled under her breath as she leaned her forehead onto the locker.
After much internal debating Olivia made her choice and peeked her head out of the change room. She moved her head from left to right and figured it was safe enough to leave. As she took a couple of steps out she heard a husky voice "Hey..."
She looked behind her and saw Eli, sitting crossed legged on the floor beside the change room. Olivia eyes became wide and sweat was now running down her face "...Hey." Eli slowly stood up and gave an apologetic look "Can we talk?" Olivia crossed her arms, stood defensively as she shook her head no.
Eli took a step forward and tried to reach out for her but she instinctively stepped back. Eli sighed and moved his hand to the back of his neck "I pushed you... I'm sorry... I know you weren't ready but I couldn't hold back any longer and... sigh... I understand if you don't want to be together anymore." he said with a teary gaze.
Olivia nodded her head and turned to leave. Eli moved quickly to close the distance between them and embraced her from behind, he placed his head into the crook of her neck and gently whispered "But I don't think I can ever let you walk away from me. Please don't leave me, I love you too much..."
Olivia gently placed a hand on his arm and kissed the side of his head. "Can you let go please?" she asked gingerly, Eli squeezed her tighter against his body and shook his head no. "I want to go somewhere more private to talk." she said with a sigh "Do you promise you won't run away again?" he asked quietly.
Olivia patted the top of his head "I promise." Eli slowly unwrapped his arms from her body, Olivia was now free, she turned to face him and gently moved his long fringe to the side, her thumb gently stroking the slightly swollen cheek "Does it still hurt?" she asked. Eli grabbed the hand touching his face and kissed her palm "No but is your hand ok?" Olivia watched Eli carefully "I'm fine."
Eli didn't let go of her hand and walked her towards the counter. There was a clerk lazying on top of the countertop with his arms stretched out, groaning. Eli coughed, the clerk jumped up and adjusted his robes "Eli-sama! Good evening, how can I be of assistance to you tonight." Eli gave him a look over "I just wanted to go downstairs to my office." he said nonchalantly. The clerk blushed a bright red as he moved out of his way "Yes sir!"
Eli opened a door that blended into the wall, it revealed a case of stairs heading down towards the basement of the building. "Lenny please find something productive to do" he said looking back at the clerk before he took Olivia down the set of stairs. "Yes sir!" Lenny proclaimed.
Olivia looked around, the entire basement was a storage faucilty, with rows of shelves holding various supplies. She caught sight of towels, cleaning supplies, purifiers, lotions and essential oils, plant food and more. "No fertilizer" as asked as they approached another door. Eli opened the door labelled Eli Delmira "Nope, it's outside in a shed. I don't need any unnecessary' accidents that will cost me my business." he explained monotonously.
Olivia walked into his office and was surprised to see his desk littered with documents that looked like blue prints and house listing book, she tuned to face Eli as he locked the door. "What are you doing?" she asked as she started to back away. Eli followed her slowly and tried to reach out for again. Olivia panicked as her bottom hit the desk.
Eli placed his hand on the desk and laid his head on her should "Please don't be afraid anymore... I swear I won't hurt you." Olivia's body stopped trembling she tried to focus on something else to keep her mind from wandering back to the alley. "So what were you looking at before I came?" she said as she tried to blink some tears away.
Eli lifted his head and gave a small sigh. "A way to save you from that she demon... and also my gift to you." he grabbed the book that laid open on his desk and handed it to Olivia. She grabbed the book with shaky hands and opened it to the tagged pages. She saw beautiful houses and scribbles in the margins of the book "Roof design is good?" she read aloud.
Eli looked lovingly at her confused face. "How is this a gift to me?" she asked, as Eli gently kissed her forehead "Make time for me tomorrow I will explain everything." Olivia shook her head "No... I wanted to... I want you to go somewhere special with me tomorrow." she said firmly.
Eli gently laughed as he brushed her hair aside, happy that she didn't flinch at his touch "I will follow you anywhere." Olivia looked upwards to meet his eyes "You won't even ask where I'm taking you?" Eli stroked her hair "No I trust you." he said candidly.
Olivia bit her bottom lip, causing Eli's eyes to flash. "I trust you too but I was scared..." she said as her words trailed off. Eli's breathing started to become erratic "You have no idea how you affect me... they way you look at, how you move your lips and the way you smell..." Eli shuddered and backed away.
"You've never done anything more then a peck before today and I... was a little surprised." she said shyly. Eli's back was against the wall now and it seemed he wanted to get further away from her "You were in my house to visit my family, I 'needed' to keep myself under control and now I need you to leave." his voice became critical while his eyes narrowed in on her.
Olivia took small steps towards Eli, trying to let her guard down "What if I said I liked what you did, what if... we took things a little slower and maybe... I... can I touch you first?" she asked anxiously. Eli's pupils dilated as he swiftly undid his robe, exposing himself "Anything you want my love." he said seductively.
Olivia stretched out one single finger tip towards his bare chest and shivered on contact. She took a couple of breathes, slowly opened her hand, allowing her the other tips of her fingers to touch his skin. Eli placed his hand over hers and pressed her palm down over his heart.
"You did this to me, it won't stop racing." he said softly, Olivia nodded her head as a soft blush stared to creep up to her cheeks. Eli gulped and started to slide her hand downwards, on to his abs then to his manhood. He helped her wrap her fingers around it as he let out a small gasp.
Suddenly Olivia's phone rang, she let go as she jumped to dig her phone out of her pocket. "Hello?" she said while a cheerful voice responded back "Hey sweetie I am in the change room right now. Are you done?" Olivia peeked at Eli and couldn't help but blush "Ya." she said timidly. "Great I'll see you soon then!"
Eli did up his robe and unlocked the door as Olivia hung up her call "Eli..." she whispered with pleading eyes. He took a sharp breath in and pushed her out the door, the moment she was out he slammed the door and locked it again "I can't see you out..." he shouted through the door. Olivia placed her hand over the wood "I'm going to pick you up tomorrow, don't text or call me tonight, I will explain everything tomorrow. Just dress warmly, we are going to be out all night... Eli you're going to meet my mom..." she shouted back in an unnerving tone before she ran back up the stairs and left.
