Best friend or Lover?

Chapter 5 - Best friend or Lover?

"Olivia can I ask you something?" Marcel asked. 

Olivia froze.

"O-Olivia?" Marcel asked again.

"Uh..yeah, s-sure?" Olivia responded. 

"I uh...wanted to know if you wanted to uh....go out with me?" He asked rubbing the back of his neck.

"I mean, why not?" Olivia answered. 

"I understand if you do- wait? Yes? You said yes?!" Marcel asked surprised.

"Uhm...yeah. I would love to go out with you." Olivia said.

Marcel still holding onto Olivia said, "Okay...so..uh...do you wanna go now? We could go out to eat. And then do anything you want afterwards?"

"I would love to but I need to lay off on walking for a bit. You know with the whole broken foot and all." Olivia said pointing down to her cast.

"Right." Marcel said rubbing his neck again, "Well you can rest here and that could be out date?"

"Yeah. Can we stay here, in your room? I'm kinda tired of walking with crutches." Olivia said.

"Yeah Liv, we can watch a movie too." Marcel insisted. 

"And we can make popcorn too, please?" Olivia asked with puppy dog eyes.

"Yes. I love popcorn, we definitely should." Marcel started, "You stay here and get comfortable, I'll get some popcorn ready. Uh..here, choose a movie you want to watch." He finished laying out some movies on his bed.

"Uhm..okay. Sounds like a good idea." Olivia said hopping with her crutches over to Marcel's bed.

"L-let me help you." Marcel said guiding her.

"Thanks." She said smiling

"You're welcome. And I'll be right back love." He stated walking out of his room.

"Okay." Olivia answered still smiling.

Marcel walked out of his room into the kitchen/living area where Harry was sitting on their couch cross-legged with his phone in one hand and the other around the edge of the couch.

"Hey, H? Where's the popcorn?" Marcel asked Harry looking in the cupboard.

"Marcel? Marcel! You're finally out of your room!" Harry said excitedly.

"Yes I am. But I'm on a date right now so I need to know where the popcorn is." Marcel repeated.

"Popcorn's in the pantry, second shelf to the left. You're welcome." Harry said not even looking up from his phone, "Wait. Date? The only person here is..." He stopped and gasped, "..Olivia! That's amazing." He said standing up, "Goin' on your first date. My little brother, on his first date."

"Yeah yeah." Marcel said rolling his eyes and pressing the buttons on the microwave, "We're gonna chill in my room and watch some movies."

"Cool. Have fun." Harry added with a wink. Marcel just playfully rolled his eyes and walked back to his room.

When Marcel got back he saw Olivia sitting on his bed reading something. What was she reading? He thought. Marcel walked closer to her to give her some popcorn, but it seemed she was really interested i what she was reading.

Marcel got closer and closer, tip-toeing his way over. He bent down to where Olivia was laying and asked, "Watcha readin'?" But then his eyes got wide when he finally saw what she had been reading. 

"So, this is how you feel about me?" Olivia asked in a soft tone as she started to giggle. Marcel had gotten so shy and embarrassed that his face was blushing so hard that it looked almost like a flamingo.
