to the finish line || ollie bearman

part 5

"can everyone give her some fucking space!"

i look over to where the voice came from, and i see ollie. he starts to make his way through the crowd to you.

"are you alright?" he asks, and i nod.

he takes my hand and guides me out of the crowd, once we were a few streets away he looks down at you.

"why are you out so late?" he asks, facing you and still holding your hand.

"it's not that late."

"it's 10 o'clock."

" then why are you out so late?"

"i went on a run, you?"

"same, im going back now though."

"i'll come with you."

"i don't want to interrupt your running."

"i don't want you to get crowded again, who knows what could happen? and i'm finished now."

"i can protect myself ollie."  i say, walking starting to walk away.

"im not saying you can't." he replies, following me.

"then why are you being my bodyguard right now?"

"because i've seen zane around and i don't want you two to fight out in public." ollie says, gently holding onto your arm and pulling you back.

"maybe you can come back with me then. if we walk." i say.

"deal, i think kimi would also prefer you to not be walking alone." he says, walking beside you.

i wouldn't admit it, but him walking with me make me feel safer. and i can't describe it, or think why.

we both talked the whole journey back about anything and everything. i almost didn't want to go back to the hotel.

45 minutes later, we arrive in the lobby. once again, he walks me to my room. even though his was on the other side of the hotel.

"thank you ollie, i'll see you tomorrow?"

"definitely, you and kimi can drive with me if you want?"

"sounds great, i'll let him know." i say, before waving goodbye and shutting the door.

"why are you smiling?" kimi asks, standing in front of you.

"for gods sake kimi! you scared me." i say.

"was that ollie!" he asks.

"maybe."

"oh my lord, you better not like him." kimi says, pointing his finger at me.

"no, i don't. he's just a nice person."

"sure, go to sleep now." he says whilst walking into his bedroom.

"goodnight kimi!" i shout from my bed.

"goodnight lina!" he shouts back.

i was about to go to sleep, but i get a notification on my phone which leads to me not falling asleep until midnight.

the next day...

i wake up to my alarm. i fucking hate my alarm. i click snooze and roll over. 5 minutes later, my alarm goes off again.

i groan and sit up in bed after turning off the alarm. finally, i get out of bed and open the curtains.

i do all my skincare before doing my makeup + hair. i choose an outfit and get changed before spraying my favourite perfume.
