Love- As Real As the Moon

48

Nick

My hands move into her hair and hers fist the collar of my shirt as she pulls me closer. My lips mold into hers like they were made for me. She feels like fucking heaven. She tastes heavenly too. I could die happily right here, in this moment. One moment she's on top of me, kissing me and the next she says "fuck" and jumps off me.

"Wha-" I stop when I see her eyes widened and the colour drained out of her face. I follow her gaze and- fuck. Olive is standing at the door - frozen in horror.I quickly get off my bed and walk to her.

"Oli-"

"What. The. Hell. Are. You. Guys. Doing?"  She glares at me, throwing daggers at me with her eyes.

"Ol, I can explain." I hold my hands up in surrender.

"Yeah. You better make it fast." She narrows her eyes at me, scrunches her brows and points towards my face.
"How the fuck did you get these bruises, Nick?"

"Okay Ol. Just come sit and I'll explain everything."
She nods and sits on the bed, ignoring Hayley.

"Hey Ol." Hayley says softly.

"Hi." Ol doesn't look at her.

"Ol, it wasn't her fault. And I'm gonna explain everything to you." I say slowly and then look at Hayley.
"Hayley, I'm really really hungry. Do you mind baking some cupcakes ?" I give her a small smile.

"Sure. I'm gonna need someone help though."

"Naomi and the other staff will get you everything you need."

She nods and leaves the room.I don't want her to be there when I explain everything to Olive. I won't let her anywhere near the memories of  her past.
I tell Ol about everything. She tears up by the end and runs out of the room. I follow her to watch her hug Hayley and cry into her arms.

"Ol, are you okay? What happened?" Hayley asks with concern in her voice.
Olive breaks their hug and holds her hands.
"I'm sorry, Hayley. I didn't know what you were going through an-and I said all those things. I was just-"

"Worried about Nick. I know, Ol. And it's totally fine okay?" She smiles at her.

"So we're good?" Ol gives her a small smile.

Both their smiles widen when Hayley says, "Yes! Of course."

"I'm so happy!!" Ol shouts.

"Me too!" Hayley shouts back and they hig each other again.It feels goods to see them back together again, two of the most important women in my life - my bestfriend and my......... love.

"Now come and join us idiot" Ol chuckles and pulls me into a group hug.
