Someone stroking the side of my face wakes me up from my sleep on the forest floor. 'Morning beautiful,' Edward smiles as I turn my body to face him. What the hell is he doing here? My face heats up as I realise we were spooning. 'Wha- Ho- Why?' I manage to splutter out. 'You can't get away from me that easily.' He smirks, brushing a stray piece of hair away.

'How did you find me?' I whisper trying not to drown in those breathtaking eyes of his. Focus Olive. 'The lenses in your mask have a tracking piece.' He replies. Smart ass. 'So you tracked me down like some sort of animal?' I accuse. Edward immediately goes bright red and starts running one hand in his hair, the other arm he's leaning on. 'Uh no?' He denies, unsure of a reply. I laugh at his shyness but the remember the reason I ran away.

'So I guess you're here to try to coax me into telling me my story.' I huff, sitting up and crossing my arms. 'Of course not!' He insists, cupping my chin and turning my head towards him. I search his face for any hints of him lying but there's none. 'Why then.' I sigh. 'Because.....because,' he starts. 'Because why? Because I'm not like most girls? Because I'm a puzzle, a riddle that you're trying to configure? Or is it because you plainly pity me.' I cry now standing.

'You are none of them!' Ed gushes. 'Then what is it!' I utter, tears threatening to fall. 'It's because I love you.' We confesses. I swear my heart stops beating as I look Ed in the eye. He loves me? 'You...l-love m-me?' I croak. 'I have since they day I first laid eyes on you Olive.' He quietly answers. Taking a step closer to me. Time slows down as he lowers his forehead so it's touching mine. His hot breath on my cold skin. His hands rest on my cheeks before running down to my waist and I wrap my arms around his neck, playing with his hair.

I bring his neck closer, closing the distance between our lips and they meet.

As the kiss got more passionate I decide to pull away before anything serious happens. Eds lips are a swollen from the kiss and his hair is sticking up in random directions. His face is also a bit red but from the kiss or embarrassment is unclear. 'Edward Nigma I think I love you too.' I smile, placing my hand on his cheek. He grins a boyish grin before smashing his lips once more on mine.

We walk hand in hand toward the entrance of Ed and John's base. After our romantic moments my past wasn't brought up again which I am thankful for. We grappled back, cracking jokes along the way and finally we are back home. 'So what should we have for dinner?' Ed asks, typing in the combination for the door. 'PIZZA!' I yell. 'Sure I'll go for that but we will have to go order it there since we can't really get home delivery.' He chuckles, scratching the back of his neck.

I laugh and follow him inside the maze of corridors. 'How can you get around here without getting lost?' I ask as we turn down dozens of corridors. 'You just get familiar with the route as time progresses.' He answers, turning down another corridor. 'Yeah well I could do with a map.' I mutter under my breath. 'I could hear that you know.' Ed laughs, typing in the key code for the home door.

We head toward the kitchen where John is leaning on the counter, sipping on a cup of coffee. 'Look who finally decided to show up.' John grins, placing the cup down and walking over to Ed and I. 'I'm sure you managed.' I grin back. 'I agree with Olive, you two keep your selves occupied while I go get changed and have a shower.' Ed instructs, already heading up the stairs. 'Okay Ed.' I sweetly reply.

'Okay Ed,' John mocks, making weird hand gestures. 'Mature Johnny boy, mature.' I mock back, sticking my tongue out.
