Until The End of Time: The Prequel

4. Start Over

Thaddeus

I was getting mean mugged all around the school. I was an asshole and I feel like shit. Olive is sweet and she doesn't deserve anything that I've done to her. I just wanted to start over.

Someone nudged me on my shoulder, as I played with the food on my tray. I looked up and he nodded his head towards me. When I looked in the direction he nodded, I felt like an even bigger asshole.

Olive walked right in, smiling just as big. Her hair was just as big and bouncy as always. People greeted her and she waved back politely, clutching a book to her chest. She had a red fitted tank top that stopped right above her belly button, she had on light jeans that hung low on her waist and hugged her ass just right, and brown sandals. Her toenails and fingernails were nude.

I frowned, remembering when I promised her I would take her to get her nails done.

She was so damn cute, I just couldn't stand it. She plopped down next to Hazel, Chance, and Tazz.

"What tha' fuck you still doin' ova' hea'?" Kyan spat as soon as he got to the table. "You got some business to handle."

I sighed and stood up. Everybody's eyes immediately followed me, and the conversation at Olive's table ceased. Olive looked up at me, waiting for my excuse.

"H-hey, Olive." Hold the fuck up, am I stuttering?

"Wassup." She replied nonchalantly and Chance tapped her leg teasingly.

"I just came ova' hea' to apologize." I sighed and she nodded her head.

"Thanks." She turned her head away from me and started to talk to Hazel again.

"Listen," I said quickly. "I didn't mean to hurt you. I lied and I'm sorry." I turned to everybody in the cafeteria. "All of the things I said weren't true. I didn't have scratches, she didn't beg me to do her one last time, and she wasn't just a quick fuck to me. Olive made me wait, she made me beg." I turned to look her straight in the eyes. "And along the way, I actually fell for you. I never thought that I would even want to settle down with somebody, but you got me considerin' it. You so sweet and perfect. My momma always told me I needed a sweet girl to tame me, and Olive, I think you that girl."

"Awwwww." Kyan chuckled, coming up behind me and wrapping his arm around my shoulder.

"Yeah, awwwww!" Chance added and everybody laughed.

"So, Olive, will you forgive me?" I asked her with hopeful, puppy dog eyes.

She rolled her eyes. "Yeah, I forgive you jackass."

The whole cafeteria cheered as she stood up to hug me, and I inhaled her scent as I wrapped my arms around her waist.

"Damn, yall nosy." Tazz yelled and everybody returned to their own conversations. Kyan and I took a seat.

"Listen, nigga," Chance started. "That's like my lil baby over there and next time I won't hesitate to kill you." His face was serious and Kyan whistled, running his hand over his waves.

"Gah damn." Kyan mumbled and sipped his drink.

"Yes sir." I raised my hands in surrender.

"Chance!" Olive exclaimed and slapped his arm.

"You can hit me all you want, I really couldn't care less." He shrugged and bit into his donut.

Olive shook her head and narrowed her eyes at him. "Can't stand your ass."

I felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I knew she hasn't completely forgiven me, but I know I'll make it up to her. I shouldnt have lied. She hasnt done anything to me or to anybody else. Honestly, I liked her. I liked her alot. She wasnt like the other girls i fucked. They just gave it up. Olive, though, she made me wait. She made me earn the chance to even get close to her and for that, I liked her.
