second chances ~ ollie bearman (2)

part 30

"i just didn't know how you'd take it, so i wanted to make sure i was here, just in case. i'm sorry, i should have said-" ollie starts saying.

"no, it's okay ol. thank you. but are you okay with it?" i ask.

"yeah, and maybe it will shut people up about us." he replies, placing his hand on top of mine.

"hopefully." i say, giving ollie a reassuring smile.

a few minutes later, we arrive in the middle of bologna, where i was meeting alexandra, and as i get out, ollie gets out after me.

"ol, you don't need to wait with me." i say, turning to face him.

"yeah, but i'd rather be here than you be alone." he says

"well thank you, but alex is here now." i say, pointing to prove it to ollie.

"okay, but call me once your nearly done." he says.

"okay." i say, going on my tiptoes to kiss him before saying goodbye and walking over to alex.

(french)

"alex you look gorgeous." i say, hugging my friend as i reach her.

"so do you, and clearly ollie thinks so too!" she says, laughing a little.

"you two look like your back to normal again." she says.

"yeah, i think we are." i say, smiling at the thought.

"good thing we have all afternoon to talk about it. how about a coffee first?" alex suggests and we head to the nearest coffee shop and get a table.

"when i tell you charles has spoken so much more about your race than his. you were amazing." alex says.

"awh thank you, and pass on my thanks to him."

"of course. i can only imagine how busy your going to be the next few weeks."

"yes, already my pr manager is being flooded with emails for interviews and videos with me. i don't know how im going to cope to be honest."

"well, you have ollie." she says, and i smile at his name.

"oh you two are perfect for each other." she says holding her hand to her heart.

"you and charles as well, you both and leo are so cute together. i would love for us to have a dog."

"why don't you get one?"

"i don't know, we are just busy i guess. and after the break up-" i say; before pausing.

"but you two are better than ever now, something like that was bound to happen eventually. fans can just be too much sometimes." alex says, trying to reassure me.

"yeah, well it wasn't a fan. it was my ex boyfriend." i say, her face dropping.

"your joking right? nick?"

"yeah, he's crazy. i don't understand why he would do something like that." i say, shaking my head.

i mean, i don't understand anything that he does. he manipulates me, hurt me, even cheated on me god knows how many times, and then he tried to break me and ollie up so i would get back together with him?

"some people just can't move on i guess." alexandra says, taking a sip of her drink. she doesn't know what happened between me and nick. barely anyone knows, and that's how i want to keep it.

but, im not here to think about nick. hell, he's long gone in the past now.

"yeah, i guess so ." i say, taking a sip as well.

after spending 30 minutes at the coffee shop, we finally head to the shopping mall. we went to lots of shops, looking at bags, shoes, clothes, make-up everything.

and to no surprise, after a few hours we were both exhausted. we were sat on a bench, waiting for both ollie and charles to arrive, when a ferrari pulls to a stop in front of us.

"hello you two." charles says, getting out of the car and kissing alexandra on the head before taking her bags and putting them in the car.

"we should do this again soon." alex says, as charles waits back in the car.

"yes, i had so much fun today." i say, before hugging her and saying goodbye.

ollie's pov:

"kimi, do you think angel's okay?" i ask, looking across at him.

"what do you mean?" he replies.

"well, last night she had a nightmare, and it just felt like it wasn't the first time."

"well, you know she has nightmares a lot."

"i know, i know. but it seems different... kimi i went to touch her she flinched away from me."

"from you?" he says, shocked.

"yeah... but i'm just really worried for her." i say, looking down at my hands feeling guilty.

"well, we can talk to her and... i don't know put her in therapy? so much has happened to her, and i guess she doesn't really talk about it that much." he says.

"she would hate us for that."

"we would hate ourselves so much more if something happens and we didnt help."

angelina's pov:

ollie wasn't here yet, so i was sat waiting on the bench whilst watching all the cars drive past when i hear someone say my name from behind.

(english)

"ollie? i didn't see you drive-"

(italian)

"hello angel." nick says, stood behind the bench.

"yesterday was quite a race." he says.

"fuck off nick." i say, turning away and facing the road once again hoping he would go away.

but no, he sat down in alex's former seat. too close.

"that's not very nice is it. and all i'm doing is congratulating you." he replies, laughing.

"why are you here nick?" i say, shaking my head whilst not even looking at him.

"i couldn't leave you here alone could i? there's a lot of people." he says, placing his arm across the back of the bench.

he was right, there was a lot of people around us. and a lot of phones too. i didn't know which people looking at me where taking photos. so i couldn't make a scene, meaning i couldn't get away.

"... please just leave." i say, feeling the touch of his hand on my back.

"angel... come on, don't be like that yeah? we had fun together, we still can." he says, and i could feel his breath in my neck as i refused to look at him. i could tell how close he was, his arm reaching across my shoulders.

"nick..."

"what?"

"please stop."

"i'm not doing anything, and you don't seem to be moving." he says, and i could hear the smirk in his voice.

he knew what he was doing, and he knew i wouldn't do anything.
