Hope you like it <3 

(Spoiler alert: Love always wins, no matter what :) ) 

(Richard's POV)

We spent the rest of the day at my place. We took a nap in my bedroom, then she made some pancakes with honey (that I ate and cried for more) and then we just stayed on the couch watching random movies. Just being like that with her was so perfect. Just like that... On the couch, wrapped in a warm blanket, with her wearing a huge pair of my jammies.

-You took the liberty to wear my jammies... So I presume you're staying for the night. –I said, kissing her hair while we were watching the movie.

-Any problem with that, Mr. Armitage? –she asked, playing slowly with her fingers in mine.

-Not at all, my love. I like the idea of us building a life together. –I said, hugging her closer to me. She rested her head on the corner of my neck and kissed it so softly.

-You were the best thing that ever appeared in my life, Richard. I don't want to lose you, never.

-You will not lose me, I promise. –I said, kissing the point of her nose. Just like that she fell asleep an hour later. Slowly, I lift her up on my lap and made myself to my bed. I put her under the sheets and covered her with the blankets. When I was about to leave, she grabbed my hand.

-Don't go... -she whispered, still half asleep. I smiled to myself and leaned on, kissing her forehead and cheek.

-I'm going to brush my teeth and check the windows and doors. Be right back, my love. –I said, whispering again. I went to the living room and when I was about to close the curtains I looked outside. It was snowing very slowly. I thought about how I wanted my life to be. In fact, everything was running out so quickly that I was starting to feel a bit scared. What if Olivia is confused and she still thinks about her love with William? What if she makes love with me and keeps seeing Will in front of her? I trusted her, and she me, but...

-Baby? –I heard a low voice call. I quickly closed the curtains and turned down the lights. When I entered the bedroom, she was there, looking at me with one eye opened.

-I'm here... -I said, turning down my light and lying down beside her. I gave her a kiss, so soft and loving. She turned her back at me and I hugged her from behind. She grabbed my hand and folded our fingers together.

-Good night, Livy. –I said, feeling my eyes close instantly.

(Olivia's POV)

After Richard called me «Livy» I had a tough time of falling asleep. He didn't know that was the name William used to call me. It brought me so many memories, the more that I shut them out of my head. I loved Richard and I enjoyed his company more than anything. He was the best thing that ever came into my life and I couldn't let him go. But nothing in this world can replace the memories of 10 years with a husband. 10 years is a long time and of course I still think about William sometimes. Richard, someway, makes me remind of him. His sense of humor, his cooking skills, his delicate way of loving... I made a decision: staying with Richard and that was what I really wanted.

-I'm sorry, William. But it's time to move on... -I said, looking at the window of Richard's bedroom. He was making breakfast for us so we could eat and get back to work. I put the same clothes I had and made my way to my man.

-Smells great honey! –I said, kissing his cheek.

-Thank you. Do you want me to drive you home? –he asked, preparing our plates.

-No, I'll go. I'm just going to check on Sophie and change my clothes. Then I'll meet you up at the office. –I said, sitting on the table with him. He made toasts that I covered with pumpkin jam. Coffee and dry fruits with some cheese. This man is lovely...

-Alright then... What will you do when you arrive? –he asked, drinking his coffee.

-I'm going to do what I usually do, why that silly question? –I said, laughing. He looked serious.

-Not that, I mean... About us. –he said, looking at me.

-I will go to your desk and kiss you. Because you're my boyfriend and that's what couples do. –I said, winking at him. He blushed and we continue eating. When everything was ready, we put our jackets on. I said goodbye to his lovely cats and when we were about to leave, I turned myself to him. Dark grey suit with a long, dark blue winter coat on him, light blue tie and white shirt under. Black leather gloves in his hands and his seductive perfume all over his neck.

-My gorgeous man... -I said, leaning on and kissing him. He made me feel so many things inside... Just with his sweet smell and a kiss, I was already turned on.

-We have to go, miss... -he whispered between the kiss. I found strength to stop the kiss and we left.

-I wish I could stay with you today... Eating pancakes again, playing with your cats... Making love by the fireplace... Why you do this to me? I hate you! –I said, tapping his shoulder. He burst with laughing and opened his car. I kissed him one last time before getting myself in my car and making my way home, getting ready for work.

(Richard's POV)

I was smiling all the way to work. Everything was magical with her... I felt like a prince charming that just found his lost princess. Carefully, because of the snow on the road, I arrived safely at work. It was pretty warm inside and everyone was arriving too.

-Good morning! –I said to the lady at the reception. She answered me with a very dry and almost inaudible «Good morning». Weird. I took the elevator and made my way to my office. When I got there everyone stopped their work. They stared at me with hate, worry, shock on their faces. I didn't know what the heck was going on but I had to find out. Slowly I made my way to my desk and took my jacket off. Little by little, everyone came back to work. Ian was coming inside the office with a newspaper in his hands.

-Ian, is there something wrong? –I asked him. He threw the newspaper to my desk and when I looked at the front page picture, my chin fell off. My heart fell into a dark black hole and I knew my life was already turning upside down. It was a picture of me and Olivia together n her backyard. We were playing with the snow and I remember I grabbed her wrists to make some tickles. She burst with laughing of course. For those who did not know, the picture could look like I was hurting her or something, which is something that I would never do in my life, obviously. Things got worse when I took some seconds to read the header.
