LAS VEGAS, UNITED STATES. NOVEMBER 2023.

Jacob and Liv didn't want to tell anyone yet about the fact they had kissed. It felt wrong to lie to his friends and keep it from them but he wasn't entirely sure what he and Liv were.

It was a difficult one to call, Jacob would been travelling a lot and Olivia would be on tour next year meaning both of them wouldn't see each other as often as they would like. Because of this, Jacob was unsure of what Olivia wanted to do.

Shortly after the race had ended and everyone got back to their hotel rooms, Jax had to say goodbye and so did Sophie. They were both catching a flight back to Los Angeles for their respective commitments. Jax obviously had a game on Monday and Sophie was needed for her various responsibilities as an actress.

Jacob kept silent as they left, acting as if nothing had happened between himself and Olivia not too long ago. He wished his friends goodbye and said he'd visit them during the winter break.

Olivia was staying, which did make Sophie slightly suspicious, the plan was for her to go back with them but she told them she had a change of heart.

Jacob was to stay in Vegas for a few more nights before making his way over to Abu Dhabi where his and Thierry's last race of the season was.

There was a hint of awkwardness when Olivia and Jacob returned to Jake's hotel room, they initially just sat side by side on the bed in silence. That was until Jacob was bold enough to make a move and before they knew it, the two were making out on Jacob's hotel bed.

It was purely an instinct that Jacob was acting on, he was feeling all sorts of emotions as he had been pining over Olivia since they'd met - if not before. However, she obviously didn't feel the same way about him until recently.

What Jacob didn't know was that there was something about Jacob the first night the two met in New York that Olivia liked about him, but at that time she was dating Joshua. And when that ended poorly, she wasn't sure if she could be with someone else for a while - fearing that someone else would do what Josh did to her again.

The whole relationship with Adam felt like a blur to her, he was an older guy, seemingly charming at first. But she quickly realised that everything wasn't what it seemed to be. There was more than what met the eye with Adam. She was truly unhappy and was even more so when Jacob barely spoke to her during that relationship. She was used by him to boost his popularity.

After countless late nights with her friends, Iris and Conan who both told her the obvious and reminded her that Jacob was most likely different from Josh and Adam, Olivia decided to confront and deal with her feelings for the racer instead of pushing it and locking it away in the back of her mind - what she had been doing since the very beginning.

The two teens now found themselves entangled with one another, breathless after making out with such desire and passion that Jacob himself could tell the past few months were not one sided.
