teenage love - ollie bearman

chapter 16

Tuscany, Italy

Adriana POV

It was a beautiful evening in Tuscany. Just after a couple of days I realized this vacation was really needed. I enjoyed the company of Ollie and his family very much, you know away from the racing world for once. Ollie and me were getting ready for a walk and I have the feeling something's gonna happen but we will see.

"You ready?" Ollie asked and peaked his head through the bathroom door.

"Yeah, let me just spray perfume on real quick." I picked up the perfume Ollie had gifted me a couple of weeks ago and strayed it on my neck and clothes.

"Alright! Let's go." Ollie said taking my hand and we made our way downstairs.

We went into the garden as we noticed that everyone was there. "Oh, going somewhere?" Jamie asked

"Yeah, I wanted to show Ria this place we found on our jog." Ollie looked at everyone and then stole a Strawberry from Thomas his plate.

"Hey?!" Thomas exclaimed

"Hi" Ollie answered back smiling at Tommy and everyone laughed because now Tommy was off guard, not expecting Ollie to answer like that.

"Anyways, enjoy the walk and be careful." Terri said.

We wandered through the beautiful cobblestone street, hand in hand, laughing and admiring each other. I really wondered where Ollie was taking me but I trusted him with what he had planned.

It started to get darker and you could make out some stars in the sky. After a while Ollie stopped and turned to me. Was this why I had the feeling something was going to happened?

It was a gorgeous landscape. We were on top off a hill and the view from up here was incredible.

"Me and Jamie found this the day before you came to Italy." Ollie said nervous.

"Why are you so nervous? Did something happen?" I slinged my arms around his neck

"Adriana," Ollie began, his voice filled with carefulness and nervousness "I can't even begin telling you how much you mean to me. You've been by my side through the ups and downs of my racing career with Prema since the start and every moment I spent with you was the best part of my day."

"I couldn't have put it into better words. But seriously I am going to cry." And as I saw Ollie reaching into his pockets and pulling something out.

I think at that moment if you would have just looked at me, you would have seen that one emoji with wide eyes and a line as the mouth, you know thinking he was pulling out a ring. But after I saw what it was I kinda relaxed but not fully. What was he up to?

He pulled his phone out completely and held it up with a mischievous smile.

"Ria, I want to make our love official. I want the world to know how lucky I am to have you."

My heart skipped a beat as I realized what Ollie was about to do. My eyes widened again, but this time with a mix of excitement and joy filling me.

Ollie opened Instagram and began typing a cute caption to a carefully selected photo of the two of us. He was so nervous that he made so many typos it was that hard to believe. But after a while he read out what he had wrote.

"With this post, I want to celebrate the love and support of the most incredible woman in my life, Adriana Prinz," Ollie said, his voice filled with joy "She has stood by me through the past couple months and I am truly blessed to call her mine. I love you, Adriana."

With a deep breath, Ollie pressed the "Post" button, and in an instant, our love became public to the world.

"Great now I'm crying and everyone is going to think something bad happened." I said as I felt the wetness under my eyes. I wrapped my arms around him, but quickly decided to post something as well.

I pulled my phone out and searched for that one video off our first kiss and took a screenshot off it. I opened Insta and wrote 'Ollie, I love you more than words can express. I don't only believe in you but also in us. I couldn't imagine someone better in my life right know.'

"What did you write? I want to see. Show me!" Ollie childishly said and tried to grab my phone.

"Only if I get a kiss."

And with that I felt a pair of lips on mine. The pair of lips I want to kiss for the rest of my life. The pair of lips that has been captured on mine from the first moment on. The pair of lips that belongs to the one and only Oliver Bearman.

"Ollie, I love you more than words can express. I don't only believe in you but also in us. I couldn't imagine someone better in my life right know." I read out loud and watched his eyes glister with joy and happiness.

In that moment, under the Tuscan sky, Ollie and I knew that our bond was stronger than ever. We were ready to face the world together, overcoming both the challenges and the victories.

As we made our way back to the house, hand in hand again and with a sense of joy washed over us. Our love turned from a private one into a public one. Am I scared because of the hate? To be honest not at all. Together, we were ready to hear all the hate and love comments, trying to avoid hate but embrace love with hearts full of love and determination.

Now, this is a new chapter in out love book. And the book containing love, excitement, adventure but also the racing world that is a big part of the both of us. Only that one is in the car and the other one creating content from outside.
