I can't get over this girl. It was so nice to talk about Carly. I've never told any of my other dates about her since she passed. Olivia is incredible. She's so easy to be around and she doesn't really seem to mind just being herself around me.
Her face got a little red when she looked at my plate then at hers realizing she had ordered a bigger meal than me.
"Gosh Olivia, way to eat like a pig" she mumbled to herself.
"You're not a pig, your nothing close to fat. And you're an athlete you have to fuel your body."
"Yeah well this will all just good straight to my thighs..." she said looking at her lap.
I reached under the table to grab her thigh and she twitched, I didn't mean to make her uncomfortable. But I looked for the approval in her eyes and she seemed okay with it and didn't push me away, she actually opened her legs a little.
"Your legs are sexy. Don't be ashamed of them".
Her faces turned a night shade of red before looking away at the sun setting over the river.
"We should eat so we can get to practice before it's too late" she blurted out.
We enjoyed our dinner and shared dessert before heading back to campus.
I grabbed the football from my car and we went to the quad outside of turner hall.
We started to practice throwing a bit which was pretty easy to teach her.
Catching was harder as she really did just run away from it.
I had a friend walking buddy throw me the ball so I could show her, and as I ran to catch the ball she didn't move out of my way causing me to fall on top of her.
I propped myself up and we just looked into each other's eyes for what felt like a life time. Her eyes were so big and green and they really twinkled.
"Can I kiss you?" I asked.
She bit her lip and nodded at me and then closed her eyes.
The kiss felt electric. I wanted more. I wanted all of her. We started to get a little heated until we realized that we were in the middle of the quad.
"Sawyer is with Maggie, so your room is empty." She looked up at me. This took me by surprise.
"Are you sure? We don't have to. We can just call it here." I responded. She looked a bit defeated and I moved out of her way so she could sit up.
"What's wrong?" I asked
"I just thought it was going well. But-"
I stopped her before she could finish.
"Olivia. I like you, a lot. And I don't want you to think that this is just physical for me. So I just wanted to give you the option to stop. I don't want to pressure you."
"What if I don't want to stop?"
I got up and reached my hand out,
"Well then we don't have to..."
