* Alice's POV *

When Thomas walked back over to me, he stroked my face.

"Thomas you should have let me at her, I could have tore that b-"

"Alice, calm down please."

"Oh hell no! Alice is right! And I should be allowed to rip that c-"

"Can you both just calm down?" Zack had released Olivia and walked over to her car to inspect it.

"Calm down? Calm down?! Are you kidding me Zack?! You know, if this was your car you would have totally lost it!"

"...fair point."

Olivia put her head in her hands so Zack comforted her by wrapping his arms around her. They looked at each other for a long moment before smiling.

Then it hit me, Olivia and Zack. Zack and Olivia. Oh my goodness...this had to happen! The Olack ship just had to set sail!

A smile spread across my face but then I  remembered that I was still angry about what Brittany did to Olivia's car. How could she do this? Was this her way of getting revenge on me, by doing bad things to my friends? I couldn't let that happen, she could not get away with this!

"What are you thinking?" Thomas was staring down at me with his intense green eyes.

"Im thinking about how I could get back at Brittany...but then again, would that make things worse?"

"As tempting as that is, I think we should both try to maintain our anger and not do anything to make her retaliate again."

"I don't think I can let her simply walk away from this."

"I know but by the looks of it, Brittany is willing to go to serious measures to get revenge on you for...well...I don't even know."

"It's because she can't have you. Though, if she's willing to go to serious measures then so am I."

"No Alice, I can't risk you getting hurt. This girl is crazy."

"Awwwww." I hugged him and kissed his cheek.

"Seriously though, I can't let anything happen to you."

As Thomas' face came closer to mine, everyone around us disappeared and it felt like it was only the two of us. His hands travelled down my arms and intertwined with mine. My cheeks started to burn a light shade of red as I thought about how serious Thomas was about me. Our relationship was travelling so fast, it was as if one minute I had a silly little crush and then the next my heart was thudding against my chest and the pupils in my eyes were dilating as they were absorbed in Thomas' gaze.

"T-thanks.

"Do I make you blush?" He smirked and leaned in closer to me.

"N-no."

"Do I make you stutter?" He took another small step that completely closed the room between us.

"...no."

"I think I do."

"S-stop teasing me."

"You look cute when your embarrassed."

Thomas brought one of my hands, which was joined with his, up to his neck and leaned forward.

"T-Thomas not right now."

"Why not?" He whispered in my ear and his breath tickled, causing all of the hairs on my neck to stand up.

"Because people are probably watching."
