Bear Hugs - COMPLETED

Chapter 7 - Sight Seeing

A/N
Yo, iszy2001 here. This chapter is gonna be quite long. To make up for the previous short chapter, and because there won't be an update for a while. I hope you guys like it, but if it's too rushed, let me know :) btw, I'm sorry, I didn't update on the 18th, I've been heaps busy and wasn't able to write sowwy

I decide not to go to school today. I just woke up with this feeling of dread, but I pull out my phone and text the girls, saying that I'm still going to the party but just not to school. I slip my phone into my pocket as I walk into the kitchen.
"Oliver, hey. Thanks for donating the bed."
"It's okay, anytime. Want some?" Oliver asks holding up an animal blood bag. I shake my head,
"Not hungry, but thanks."
"Oh yeah, Mafi is going to get some proper food for you."
"He didn't have to, I eat whatever."
"Guess he just felt bad." Oliver shrugs. "You still going to the party tonight?"
"As long as you are." I wink and walk off to grab a fresh set of clothes from my duffel bag. I do my normal daily routine of shower and makeup. My phone buzzes just as I finish applying my mascara.
"Hello?" I ask.
"Willow, hey."
"Amy, what's up?"
"Are you with Oliver? I find it a little bit of a coincidence. Since he is almost never away."
"Okay well yeah I am. But that's a long story, all will be revealed at Jackies tonight. Promise."
"Ooo! Haha, I have to go get back to class. Bye!"
"Bye Amy." I shove my phone into the pocket of my blue skinny jeans and walk back out to where Oliver last was. Not to my surprise he isn't there, since it has been about half an hour since we were standing and talking.

I spin on my heels and pull my phone out of my pocket. I flop down on the couch and a squeak erupts, I ignore it and continue to put my password in my phone. I open up messages and text Oliver.

Where are ya? I get an immediate reply.

Just walking in the bush, you?

Still at the house. I have an idea. A smile arises to my lips as I jump up off the couch.

Oh oh. What is it?

Don't be so grumpy. Let's just take a day. You, me, the city. We can go far away. Take some tours?

Wow. Sounds fun. *Rolls eyes*. I'm joking. Be there in a min.

I smile and wait for Oliver to come back. Today was going to be amazing.

As Oliver and I sit at the bus shelter we talk about the things we will do today. We decide to put our special abilities away as we promise each other we won't use them. Oliver marks the map with red 'X' 's as I research the points and write down the times we are to be at the places.

"Okay so we are gonna catch a ferry from Sydney City to Manly." Oliver states. I punch in ferry's from Sydney City to Manly on google and find when the next suitable ferry is.

"Is 3:00 okay?" I ask unsure.

"Yep. There are plenty more activities we can fit in. We can go see The Rocks, we can get a tour of the Opera House, we can climb the Sydney Harbour bridge." Oliver says beginning to sound excited. "You know what Willow, this is exactly what I needed. A day out to clear my mind, with my girlfriend."

"Girlfriend? Where is she? I need to have a wording with her." I say sarcastically. It goes through my head that Oliver hasn't asked me to be his girlfriend yet.

"Look here's the thing. I want to be with you, I really do. But Mafi." I can tell by his voice he means what he says. "We are living together, in Mafi's house. He told me vampires don't feel, love." His voice going soft at the word vampires. "We would both get into shit if he found out about us. I really like you Willow, but while we are living together, there can't be anything official." I sigh understandingly.

"I get it Oliver. Nothing official." I'm not that bumbed because we can still date in secret, but appear as friends. He places his hand under my chin and lifts my face up to his. His lips press softly against mine but within seconds he pulls away.

"The bus is here." He laughs at the sight of my sad face. He rolls up the map and I slip our backpack on. The bus pulls over and it's door opens and swings to the right. Oliver steps up and pays for us both, getting our red tickets. We search for a seat together and there are quite a few, so we chose one toward the back. The seats are really high and blue. I pull out my phone and have a look at my photos.

"So to get from the bus stop to the Botanical Gardens we just have to walk down the path and then we are there. We basically have a free tour though. Just walk around and see the plants and stuff." I explain to Oliver. I show him the whole of our schedule.

9am - Botanical Garden, Self Tour.
9.45am/10am - The Rocks.
10.45am - Taronga Zoo, Visit.
1.45pm - Sydney Opera House, Tour.
3pm - Ferry Ride To Manly.
3.30pm - Lunch At Manly + Shopping.
5pm - Head Back Home.
5.30pm - Willow Go To Jackie's House.
8pm - Party Starts.

Oliver nods in agreement. "You did a pretty good job." I smile a thanks and put my phone away.

As we go along we check off the activities that we've done. Botanical Gardens, The Rocks, Taronga zoo, Sydney Opera House. As we wait in line for the Ferry I cuddle my stuffed giraffe that Oliver bought me. The giraffe is supposed to remind me of him because of our height comparison. I'm 5" while he on the other hand is 5"11. Oliver looks down at me and a smile creeps onto his face.
"Your so adorable Willow." I look into his eyes as he spins me around to face him and he lowers his face. I close the gap between us and wrap my arms around his neck, standing on my tippy toes the get a different angle. We earn some claps from the other people lining up and this makes me break the kiss, as I begin to feel uncomfortable. We go back to our original position, my back against his chest with his arms wrapped around my frail body. We stand in the wind, and I get the feeling of the world stopping, and that its just Oliver and I in this world, no one else. Oliver grabs ahold of my hand as the ferry arrives. As the doors slide open we step on and climb the stairs to the second story, but then decide to continue climbing. As we reach the third story we are treated with the cold wind prickling our skin. We are the only ones up here so we decide to take a seat.
"Your amazing Willow." Oliver says.
"Thankyou." I blush.
"Oh my babies blushin'!" He teases.
"Hey, only my parents can tea-" my face drops are realisation that they're gone.
"Mafi is my parent, mine died in a fire, along with my siblings." Oliver says.
"I'm sorry to hear."
"No it's okay, they aren't worth it." Oliver says, sounding pretty chill.
I grab Oliver's hand and stand up. I begin walking over to the edge of the platform.
"Willow whatcha doin?" I ignore him but we reach our destination. I inch closer to him and put his arm over my shoulder as I lean into his chest. We stand in the wind, watching the waves form and break in front of us. This is truly the best day. I spin around to face Oliver and he closes the gap between our faces. My hands glide through his hair as his hands rest at my hips. He takes it slow to begin with, but then deepens the kiss. I can feel his need and his desires. I can feel through the kiss how much he needs someone, how much he's waited for this. I can feel how broken and lost he is. He needs a map, and I am more than willing to be his map. To guide him back on track, to be his light in the darkness. I'm falling hopelessly in love with this guy, I feel as if he is my own personal oxygen pump. He's the missing piece of my puzzle.
I love Oliver Keating.

This was going to be the party chapter but I had a new idea so yeah this is what it is.. I promise the next chapter is the party. When we get to chapter 10 I'm going to go back and edit all my chapters because they really need fixing XD. But Willow has finally admitted to herself that she loves Oliver... But they can't be official because of Mafi, can they hold back their feelings? Can they keep their urges in? And Willow, she knows Oliver is broken, but how badly broken is he? Stay tuned for more Bear Hugs!!
