The Way I Loved You-WTLGD2

Baggage

*Nick walks into his room to find Livie walking around holding Peanut who has fallen asleep in her arms,  Livie hushes Nick as he walks in and lays Peanut in the bassinet before taking a seat on the bed with a yawn*

(Nick) *sits down on the bed next to Livie* did she finish that bottle already?

(Olivia) *grabs empty bottle and holds it up* she is a piggy

(Nick) geesh…she was starving

(Olivia) that’s what she claims *yawn*

(Nick) you should go back to bed, you look…

*Livie interrupts Nick by leaning over and kissing him, he brings his hand up cupping her chin as he deepens the kiss and pulls her to lay back on the bed*

(Olivia) *pushes against Nick’s chest breaking the kiss* what are we doing?

(Nick) *smirks* you started it…

(Olivia) *smiles* I mean US….what are we doing?

(Nick) *shrugs* does it need a title?

(Olivia) *cocks a brow and sits up irritated* yes, it does, I’m not Miley Nicholas, I have Peanut to think about now too and I’m not ok with a ‘friends with benefits’ type status…

(Nick) *sits up* I wasn’t aware that there were other status’ available for us, you broke it off with me remember?

(Olivia) yea…I know I did but…*sighs*

(Nick) but what??

(Olivia) *groans* Nick, I’ve been crazy about you since I was like twelve, and I thought you felt the same…

(Nick) I do! Again, you broke up with me remember?

(Olivia) because of Peanut…

(Nick) You being pregnant never changed my feelings…

(Olivia) *cocks a brow* oh really? is that why you dated the Gymnast…and then Miley

(Nick) that isn’t fair…I wanted to be with you, you were the one who didn’t want that…

(Olivia) I always wanted you

(Nick) *scoffs* then be with me…

(Olivia) I can’t!

(Nick) *stands up off the bed and runs his fingers through his hair in frustration* dammit Olivia!

*Livie hushes Nick*

(Nick) *whispers* give me one good reason why you can’t be with me?
*Livie points to the bassinet*
...You can’t use Charlie as an excuse not to be with me

(Olivia) the hell I can’t! You are a Jonas Brother!

(Nick) SO!

(Olivia) so? A picture surfaced of B kissing her boyfriend and the tabloids smeared her as being a promiscuous slut, what do you think will happen if word gets out that you are dating someone with a kid?

(Nick) tabloids smear lies all the time, I couldn't care less

(Olivia) and what about your fans? What about your Mom and Dad?

(Nick) Mom and Dad love you, and the fans will deal…it’s my life…

(Olivia) that’s just the thing Nick, it’s not just MY life anymore…I come with baggage…

(Nick) and I don’t? I’m a self-proclaimed virginal diabetic with a freakishly close twin bond who is touring half the year…it tends to cause issues when it comes to relationships…I’m sure you remember.

(Olivia) I know exactly how your fans would ‘deal’ with you dating someone with a kid, they would fucking flip out, they had to re-write part of Camp Rock and take out a kiss because that Demi girl got death threats….DEATH THREATS Nicholas! Over a kiss! The tabloids and your fans would have a field day at my expense…at Peanut’s expense…but that pales in comparison to what it could do to your reputation.

(Nick) So, you are saying that we can never be together?

(Olivia) *sigh* I’m saying that given the circumstances maybe you and I weren’t meant to be…

(Nick) well, I disagree…sorry but you are wrong

(Olivia) *cocks a brow* oh really? And why is that?

(Nick) because I love you

*Livie freezes, her eyes wide*

(Olivia) *shocked* what…

(Nick) I love you…I always have…I always end back at you and I love Peanut too, she isn’t ‘baggage’ she is part of you

(Olivia) Nick…

*Nick interrupts Livie by quickly bringing his lips to hers, this time Livie does not pull away and Nick wraps his arms around her waist pulling her close before deepening the kiss.*

(Olivia) *breaks the kiss and puts her forehead to Nick’s* ….I love you too
