to the finish line || ollie bearman

part 66

the next day...

i wake up, and both kimi and ollie still asleep on chairs. i told them to find a hotel, that i would be alright here but they were too stubborn.

i look down at ollie, and see two of his fingers resting on my wrist. aw he's so cute. i love him, i really do. i can't wait to move in with him, but of course i have to recover first.

i'm determined to recover as soon as i can, i don't want this to stop me in my career.

a few minutes later, which i definitely didn't spend watching ollie or anything... okay, he's just really cute when he's asleep. ollie finally begins to wake up, and look across at me.

"good morning." he says in his morning voice, his head messy and his eyes sleepy.

"good morning amor." i say, smiling as much as i could at him.

"how long have you been awake?"

"just a few minutes."

"i just need to use the bathroom quickly, i'll be right back."

"take your time ol, don't rush."

a few minutes later he returns and sits back down in his former seat, slipping his hand in mine. i look from our hands up at him and smile, he's looks so gorgeous when he's just woken up.

"what?" he says softly, laughing slightly.

"nothing..." i say, smiling.

"your bruising has gone down a little." he says, moving my hair out of my face.

"thank god, i feel hideous."

"your beautiful with or without the bruises baby." he says.

"i love you." i say, after a little pause. ollie's face lights up, his ears going pink.

"i love you too." he says, before kissing the top of my head.

i couldn't help but smile at him, he's perfect. he's the sort of boyfriend i always dreamed of having, but never thought i deserved.

"i can't wait to leave the hospital." i say.

"you don't like hospitals?"

"no, i hate the way they smell. the food is terrible, the beds are uncomfortable and the light is too bright. i just want to go home to my bed."

"seems like hell for you."

"yes oliver, it is hell on earth." i say.

"i'm sorry."

"i don't even like this pillow!"

"it's terrible, i know." he says, comforting me

"i can't even hug you." i say.

"i can fix that." he says before standing up and gently moving me to create a space which he then lies down on before resting my head on him.

"better?" he asks, his arm around me.

"so much better." i say, turning to him.

"i know, im a great pillow." he says, smiling down at me.

"the best ever." i say.

"are you still tired?" he asks.

"no of course not." i say before yawning.

"go to sleep baby, your going to be tired."

"if you insist." i say, already falling asleep.

few weeks later...

"okay, i managed to put up the air mattress." ollie says.

"but?" i say.

"it's got a hole in it." he says, and i couldn't help but laugh. 

today is the first day of me and ollie moving in together, and whilst it's been fun, we have definitely made many mistakes. for example, we both flew over to the apartment without any furniture.

by now i was thankfully out of the big casts that were on my leg and arm, and now just had some bandages on my wrist.

at first it was hard watching the f2 races from home, but there's only one race left and i was finally going back to the track. not to race, just to support my friends.

"so there's only one bed?" i say.

"yes, but it's yours." he says.

"no ol, i'll sleep on the floor with you. it's only fair."

"but your still injured."

"ollie, my love, you need the sleep. we fly to abu dhabi tomorrow." i say.

"i refuse." he says, but he couldn't hold back a smile.

"you're really stubborn." i say, smiling back.

"it's a trait we both share baby." he says, before kissing my cheek.

"ol, i love you but you are sleeping on that bed even if i have to pick you up."

"not if i put you on it first." he says winking.

"and i don't think you could pick me up if you tried." he adds.

"shut up."

"so order in for dinner?"

"well we can't exactly cook, so yes." i say, signalling to the bare counters and cabinets behind us.

"ill order sushi."

"you know me so well." i say, ruffling his hair before going to the toilet.

i come back a few minutes later and ollie was still sat on the floor against the counter (we have absolutely no furniture). i sit down beside him, and he places his arm around me.

"we did not plan this well at all." i say, looking across at him.

"no, but it's only until tomorrow night."

"and then after abu dhabi"

"oh shit, shopping day!" i say, before laughing.

"or we just order online?"

"no, love, no."

"no? it's so much easier."

"i know but i love shopping."

"you can't carry anything."

"but you can." i say.

"that's why we work baby." he says before kissing me once again.

"i love you." he says before pulling away.

"i know." i tease.

"excuse me?"

"i love you too amor." i say, before kissing him.

"i love when you kiss me."

"like this?" i say before kissing him again.

"again?" he says and i do. i could never not kiss that boy. i truly do love him.
