The rest of the week was hazy, like the summer sun. We spent it enjoying each others company, and getting to know each other on a deeper level. This was a strange side of Oliver and a really confusing one at that. He made me feel safe. When I am with him I stop tripping over my words, over insanity, racking my every thought. I stop feeling well.. lost. I still wasn't really sure what it all meant, or even what it was but this was the happiest iv'e been in a long time so I thought it was a good idea to avoid questions.

Olivers P.O.V                                                                                                              

I walked a few blocks away from the hotel, a cigarette lit twixt my fingers, burning like the fire that beauty held in the city. I stood in silence enjoying the solitude while racking my thoughts. Can I be the man Lexxie needs me to be? How can I be there for her when I can barely pick myself up? I find my life is constantly swirling, cliche as it sounds, like leaves in the wind- twirling in unpredictable patterns until the wind slows down and stops again. Sometime's I feel no more alive than the empty home where I grew up. Could she just see the best in me? Or find the flaws to detest in me? I sunk into my thoughts for the rest of the night.

I made my way back to the hotel at early morning hours, opening and closing doors silently to not wake Lexxie up. I crawled into bed, wrapping my arm around her, she stirred a little but quickly fell back into sleep. My thoughts slowly lessened and the darkness over-rid my body sending me to sleep. 

Surprisingly I woke up before Lexxie. I decided to make us breakfast. I do make excellent pancakes if I do say so myself.

"Oooo whats cooking?" I hear Lexxie say from the bedroom.

"Come and see for yourself" I playfully shouted back.

Lexxie came into the kitchen giggling. Her hair in a messy bun and only wearing trackies and a tank top. She looked gorgeous.

" Pancakes!?!" She screamed.

"Only for the best!" I said and flashed her a toothy grin. Lexxie sat down on the stools across the table tops from me. I leaned over and gave her a kiss on the forehead, lingering a little not wanting the moment to end.

"So today's our last day?" Lexxie said, the features in her face turning a little sad while she fumbled with her phone.

"It is, and we are going to the movies." I said giddily.

"Really? What are we watching?" she said with a hint of nervousness in her tone.

"The Conjuring" I said with a quick wink.

"No fucking way!" Lexxie said back, her voice alert.

"It's okay, I'll be there to protect you" I said, trying to be as comforting as possible.

"Here eat up, we are leaving in an hour" I served Lexxie her pancakes and went to take a shower.

~~1 Hour Later~~

"You ready Lex?" I shouted from the living room.

"Yeah, one minute"  She shouted back.

Seconds later she came out in black skinny jeans, a man overboard shirt and a leather jacket. She looked stunning.

"Looking beautiful, as always" I said grinning.

"Pfft" She rolled her eyes.

I shook my head and glanced at her disapprovingly.

"Lets go then"

We walked to the nearby theatre, I brought our tickets, popcorn and drinks, like any gentlemen would. then we took our seats in the theatre. I put my arm around her and we cuddled during the entire move, especially the scary parts.

The movie finished and we were both chilled to our bones. We spent the rest of the day going out in the streets and shopping.

When it started getting dark we decided it was time to head home. By the time we got back we were both well and truly ready for bed.

"I'm going to miss this Oli" Lexxie mumbled and nuzzled into my neck as we were cuddling to sleep.

"I am too"

We spent what was left of the night cuddling and enjoying each others company, dreading going home the next day.
