Zollie - A forbidden love

Chapter 19 - Meltdowns

Sorry for not updating, but this is an extra long chapter to make up for it; around 1300 words! I've tried a new technique with the flashback, please let me know if you like/dislike it, and whether it works.

After another hour Elliot pulled up to their home for the next three night. They all got out of the minibus, except for Ollie, who had a still asleep Zosia laying on him. 

"How am I supposed to get out?" He asked Elliot, "I don't want to wake her; she looks so peaceful."

"I could carry her out, and then you could take her in? Elliot suggested tentively.

"She's going to kill me for this, but what other choice do we have?" Ollie sighed. "Okay, let's do it." Elliot went round to the other side of the bus, and opened the door. There was a bit of trouble getting Zosia's seatbelt off, but eventually Elliot got her out, holding her bridal style.  As Ollie climbed out, he noticed Mo was taking pictures of them.

"I'm glad you find this so amusing Mo!" He grumbled

"Oh don't worry, I do." She replied. "She's never going to live this down."

"Oh be quite Maureen, why don't you go and help Jac unpack like a good little girl." He said sourly.

"Oh ha ha very funny Valentine," she said, before she walked into the cottage.

"Thanks Elliot, I'll take her now." Ollie said gratefully, holding Zosia in his arms. As he took her into their room, he stopped for a minute, and just looked down at her, smiling as he thought about how beautiful she looked.

"Did your parents never teach you it's rude to stare?" Zosia asked, looking up at him.

"Oh, sorry... I thought you were asleep," he said, embarrassed. He quickly put her down on the bed, and went to leave the room.

"I think it's quite cute actually," she said.

He turned round. "What do you mean "cute""

"It's quite cute how you're like a lost puppy, fawning over me as I sleep." She joked.

Ollie laughed, and then walked back over to the bed, and lay down beside her. 

"I love you Zosia." 

"I love you too Ollie." She said, turning round to face him. She kissed him gently, and then got up, leaving the room. Ollie was confused, but then quickly followed after her, and found her in the kitchen, making a hot chocolate. 

He walked up to her, circling her bump with his arms. 

"Ollie!" She squealed, "you made me jump!" He started laughing, and as much as Zosia tried to keep a straight face, she couldn't. Soon enough they were both stood in the kitchen, laughing about spent hint that wasn't even very funny.

"Oh I see Sleeping Beauty has woken up,"  Jac said, her sarcastic tone slicing the happy mood.

"What do you want Jac?" Ollie sighed.

"The others want to go out for dinner, and I suppose the polite thing to do would be to ask you too." She said bluntly.

Ollie looked at Zosia, who nodded. "Yeah sure, give us an hour." He replied.

"An hour!" Jac exclaimed, "why do you need an hour to get dressed? What are you going to do, try on 1000 dresses?!"

"Well you see Jac, there's this thing called trying to look nice, but of course you wouldn't know about that would you?"  Zosia shot back, her eyes filling up. She ran out the room, and into the bedroom, slamming the door shut.
