Wanting his love (Waterloo road)

26

Olivia hadn't been able to look at Tom since she had smelt the perfume on his shirt. She didn't know weather or not he had cheated on her.

She felt sick at the thought. Especially as she knew all they had been through. And how they were finally happy. Or so she thought they were happy.

She hated how low she was feeling. She needed to confront him. But at the same time, she couldn't. She was too scared. Scared of the answers.

She knew that they had been through so much together. And it was hard for her to think of him cheating.

All she knew was that she needed to somehow talk to him. To understand why there had been another woman's perfume on his clothes.

When she woke that morning, she saw Tom asleep. She wanted to check his phone. But she couldn't. She couldn't see the proof in front of her eyes.

She climbed out of bed and sighed as she made her way downstairs. She made some coffee and text her sister.

Once she set the text, she heard Tom walking downstairs. "Morning babe. You okay?" He asked.

"Yeah. I'm fine."

Tom frowned. He could see she wasn't herself. "You can talk to me. About anything. You know I'm always here. I love you."

"Yeah. Love you too."

Olivia went into work with Tom. They kissed quickly before she walked off. She saw her sister and smiled. "You decided to stay?" She asked.

"Yeah. You were right. I need to grow up. I'm having a baby. And weather or not I like it, Max is the father. I have to somehow coparent with him," she said.

Olivia nodded and smiled. "Well good. I'm glad you're both getting on. Have you decided what you're doing about the baby?"

Charlee shook her head and smiled. "Hopefully we'll make it work. But I'm not holding my breath. I need to focus on the baby. And not petty arguments with Max bloody Tyler."

Olivia looked around and smiled. She sighed. "I think Tom has been cheating on me. There was some other woman's perfume on his clothes. I don't have that scent."

Charlee's eyes widened. She looked to her. "Are you kidding me? Why would he cheat on you?"

"I don't know. But I just... I feel like there's too much he's keeping from me. I'm scared to lose him."

"You shouldn't be. You are an amazing person."

"Why doesn't he think that?"

Olivia walked into toms classroom. She looked to him and smiled. "Are you okay?" She asked as she sat down.

"Yeah I'm good babe. Why wouldn't I be?"

Olivia shrugged. She looked to him. "Just wondering. I love you."

"I love you too. Are you sure you're okay?"

Olivia nodded. She knew how tempted she was to confront him. But she couldn't. She was scared of the answer she would get. "I'll see you at home."

***
Olivia walked into the house. She saw Tom sitting on the sofa. She had made her mind up. "I need to ask you something. And I'm scared of the answer."

"What's that?"

Olivia sat on the sofa. She looked to him. "Are you cheating on me?"

Tom looked to her in shock. But would he give her the answers she needed?
