Partners In Our Own Crime| BEING EDITED

9.Missin' You

When Olivia returned to the hotel, Sasha still hadn't been back, which suprised her, since it was at least seven at night. She sighed placing her purse down. She'd spent the whole afternoon talking with Spencer about how she's been in Vegas, and what she'd planned to write if she was to win the contest.

It only hit her when she left the park that, I miss him. She missed talking with him like that. She missed being able to hug him whenever she needed comfort or simply wanted to be in his arms. She missed his voice, his touch. Though they'd never gotten into a real relationship before she ran off, she felt her heart slowly re-breaking at the feeling of not being able to have him, over the fact that he belonged to someone else.

She wanted to cry, wanted to call him and tell him how much she missed him. She'd known that it would hit her eventually, but she didn't think it would it hit her this hard. The hurt crashed into her like bricks tumbling down. All this time she'd went without thinking about him, without thinking back to their time together before she ran off to Vegas. She thought it was easier to just forget about him completely, not knowing that when she got closer to him again, that it would hurt like hell.

A part of her wanted to go over his house, bang on his door, crash into his lips when he opened it. But then she remembered, his wife.

Damn that woman.

Olivia undressed, moving into the shower as she let the tears fall from her eyes. She hated this, she hated that she let herself break. It had been three years, and she hadn't thought about him at all, she hadn't let a single tear fall, until now. A part of her blamed herself for this. After all, she was the one who ran away.

Exiting the shower, she heard the hotel door open. "Oh my god liv, i have so much to tell you, so i was out with your brother and--"

Sasha stopped when she saw the tears on Olivia's face.

Olivia didn't have say anything for Sasha to pull her into her arms.

"Okay I got ice cream, popcorn, and most of all, the wineee!"

Olivia chuckled lightly as she sat on their bed, holding a pillow in between her arms.

"Don't tell your mom, but I stole two of her glasses." Olivia gave her a look.

"Don't worry, I'll give them back."

Sitting down next to her, Sasha poured Liv a glass. "So you ready to tell me what's wrong?"

Olivia sighed, "I miss him"

"Mmm...I figured." Olivia turned to her, "then why'd you ask?"

"To see if you'd actually admit it."

Olivia rolled her eyes as she took her glass, "whatever."

"So when are you going to tell him?" Olivia looked at her.

"I'm not."

"And why not?"

"Sasha..."

Sasha sighed, "listen Liv—"

"No sash, this isn't something you can talk me into. He has a wife, and we just got in a good place. I'm not fucking that up."

Sasha didn't push any further, just placed a supportive hand on her best friend's shoulder.

"It's breaking me, sash."

Sasha's eyes softened, "oh, come here" she pulled her into an embrace.

"I got you."

Spencer sat at the edge of his bed, a smile never left his face. God, how was I able to go three years without her?

He fell back onto his bed, staring up at the ceiling. All he could think about was her. Her smile. Her eyes, those big brown eyes. Her laugh. Thoughts of her filled his brain as he stared off in a trance. I miss her.

He wanted to be close to her again, and it hadn't even been an hour since he'd left her. That made him wonder; how would he react when she had to leave for Vegas again?

Then he thought about it. It wouldn't matter. Because...I belong to someone else.

He loved amara, he really did. He just wasn't quite sure if he was in love with her. And it was perfectly clear that his old feelings for Olivia were stirring back up again. It was happening again. If he was to try again with Olivia that would leave Amara hurt. And if he was to stay with Amara he was sure it would leave Olivia hurt—he could see the look in her eyes when they were together, and he knew that she'd been feeling the exact same emotions as him. He couldn't choose between the two again. That never ended well.

He sighed. What am I going to do? He had to figure it out soon, or he'd be stuck in the same mess he was in three years ago, and this time he wouldn't be able to get out of it.

Meanwhile:
"You gonna be okay?" Sasha looked over at Olivia who'd still had tears clouded in her eyes.

"I'll be fine, sash."

Sasha knew it was best not to push, but she couldn't see her best friend in pain. She'd seen enough of that in the last week.

"Liv, you should talk to him."

Olivia shook her head and went to say something, but Sasha spoke before Olivia could mutter word.

"No, Liv! You need to start going after what you want! In my two years of knowing you, I've always seen you push away your feelings, for other people, and honestly I'm getting tired of it. It never hurts to try. And I'm telling, you need to try and talk to him. For once in your fucking life, go after what you want."

Sasha's voice was hard and stern as she slightly yelled at Olivia. Olivia being her stubborn self just turned away, though, she still acknowledged that Sasha had been right.

"I cant with you." Sasha shook her head, moving off the bed and into the bathroom to shower. Olivia sat there, sighing. Why did everything have to be so fucking complicated? She was happy, like truly happy, just a week ago, and now everything had been so messed up. If talking to him about how she'd felt would make her life a bit more easier...then she was willing to at least try.
