Eluding Emotion

Resolve

Lehi's POV

I opened my eyes then closed them again. Then I opened it, and closed it again. I want to make sure I'm awake and this is happening, wait, what is happening? One minute, Olivia's all quiet and locked up in her room for a few minutes, then the next minute, she comes downstairs--all sexy and stuff--then pulls me upstairs to her room. She knows what she's doing right? Hell, I know what I'm doing, or going to do... I think. I slowly opened my eyes and looked at her; she's smirking in that sexy way. Holy crap, I think I'm awake. Those beautiful brown eyes of hers are dark and filled with passion and desire. What did Ezra do to you? I asked her inside. Did he try to take advantage of her? If he did, I will kill him.  She touched the middle of my brows with one of her soft fingers, and I noticed that my brows are furrowed. Well, who won't furrow their brows in concentration, if all of a sudden the most beautiful woman you've ever met pulls you on top of her with no explanation? Well, maybe I'm the only one who does that.

"What are you thinking?" she asked in her bedroom voice--I think, it's the first time heard her talk like that.

"I'm thinking...what are you doing? Why? And what did he do to you?" she sighed and shook her head.

"I don't know what he wanted to do, or if he was planning anything. He pulled me towards him and hugged me until he fell asleep. It was the first time I've ever felt so nervous with Ezra. While I was waiting for him to fall asleep, I thought of you, and being worthy for you. I don't know, but maybe I should give the "gift" to you, before someone takes it away from me." Whoa, so she really wants to marry me then...or just make sure that I'll get what I want--to spend an eternity with her. If I was only with her when she went to Ezra's place, maybe she won't be this scared. I should've been there to protect her.

"I don't think I can do this, O. I mean, not yet. We'll both be unworthy to give and receive, if we'll do this." I said as I rub my nose against hers. "I don't want you to regret this forever, if it doesn't work. I'm satisfied with what we're doing so far, you know the kisses. I really think we should wait." I said as I planted a chaste kiss on her lips. She smiled and nodded, and I got off on top of her. One of us has to be strong if we're going to this right. She turned around, and I spooned her; I hummed some random classical song I heard her play until she fell asleep. I really should be working on that proposal.

As soon as I'm sure that Olivia's in deep sleep, I got up and walked outside her balcony and grabbed my phone in my pocket. I dialed Scarlet's number and waited for her to answer. After about three rings, she answered. "Hey, you! What's up?"

"I need your help" there were indistinct voices before she answered.

"What can I do for you? Hurry up, because I'm about to leave the office."

"Can you buy some sticky notepads for me?"

"You're gonna do that thing from that movie on YouTube?" she squealed.

"Sort of, and some roses--no, lots of roses while you're at it."

"Sure, no problem. When and where do you need it?"

"I need the materials tonight, so I can make sure they're ready for tomorrow."

"The roses should be fresh, how about I bring you the sticky notes tonight, then meet me tomorrow for the roses?"

"I'll meet you tomorrow then with the sticky notes"

"Good, you take care now. I gotta go, there's this hot guy who's taking me to dinner." Okay, TMI.

"A'ight, be safe." I hung up and walked inside to Olivia. I kissed her forehead and walked to my room to think of awesome things to write on the sticky notes. I have to call Maria to get some pointers. I hope she comes tomorrow morning too, so she can help me. I have to call Ezra too, no I shouldn't. Maybe I'll just let him be. Shoot! Wait, I have to go to that store! I can still make it if I take the Ducati. I grabbed some pen and paper and wrote a note for Olivia. I walked back to her room and left the note on her bedside table, held her hand and walked to the garage.
