im always here (coliver)

2

connor fell asleep easily tonight. he knew that having oliver in his life was good thing. he also knew that he would impress mrs. keating tomorrow with the information that they were able to find.
—————————————————
when connor woke up in the morning he was immediately smiling from memories of last night.

he was going to call oliver again but he needed to go to work first. so he got out of bed, put on clothes, freshened up, got coffee, and left anxious to go and present this newly found information to his boss.

"hello mrs.keating. i have got new information on the case that i believe will help us a lot." connor said hoping she was in a good mood today.

"show me what you got mr. walsh." mrs. keating said as she placed her stuff at her desk and walked over to connor.

after connor had presented his new information to annalise everyone was shocked and confused as to how exactly he got this information.

"so connor. how exactly did you get this information?" michaela asked bitterly.

"well you see, i don't kiss and tell." connor replied and it made michaela scoff as she turned away and started looking at papers to see if she could find any new information.

today it was really hard for connor to focus. all he could think about was oliver. what if oliver didn't like him and was just using him like connor usually uses everybody else? what if he was interested but was having second thoughts? what if oliver was worried that connor was never going to call him and he has lost hope of starting a relationship? what if–

connors thoughts were cut off by annalise, "connor! did you hear what i just said?"

"oh umm, no. sorry i kind of zoned out." connor said with regret of not giving 110% of his attention to work.

"i said that yall could go home. we have all the information we need to win this case."

"oh, thank you mrs.keating." connor said surpirsed that she wasn't mad.

"no, thank you." annalise said with a smile as connor walked out the door anxious about calling oliver.

once connor got home he changed quickly. his adrenaline was running and he was starting to get butterflies in his stomach. he just decided to go for it.

the phone had rung twice without an answer. when it was ringing for the third time oliver finally picked up.

"hello?" oliver said confused as to why a random number was calling him.

"uh, hi oliver, it's connor, umm i had fun with you yesterday but i don't really know anything about you which makes me kind of sad so, would you maybe like to come over for dinner tonight at my place and talk?" connor asked with a ton of hope.

"uh, sure, i would love to. what time should i be over?"

"how does 6:00 sound?"

"good. ill see you then."

"alright, see you soon." connor said with the biggest smile on his face. he just couldn't help it.

when connor looked at the clock the time read 3:54pm. he had about two hours to clean his place, freshen up, and cook dinner.

he really should have thought this out better because connor had no idea what he was going to cook for dinner.

connor just figured that he could figure that out while he was cleaning so he started to put all his work stuff away. he wanted to stick with something simple so connor was thinking about making spaghetti and meatballs.

connor was going to have to run to the store. he still had about an hour because his apartment needed to be tidied up and so did he.

while connor was at the store getting the stuff to cook dinner, he also grabbed a nice bottle of expensive red wine for them to enjoy.

connor just wanted this night to be perfect because currently his first impression is a slut so he needs to do better than that.

once connor got home he immediately started cooking. he turned on the stove which had a pot of water on top just waiting to boil.

as he waited for that he decided to make a salad and pop some garlic bread into the oven. he just wanted to get the cooking part over with.

connor kept checking to pot of water to see if it was boiling but you know what they say, a watched pot never boils, so he just left it alone for a moment and decided to go set the table.

about five minuets later he was ready to put the pasta into the pot. he also started cooking the sauce. tonight was going to be perfect.

connor was getting tired of just waiting around for the food to cook so he decided to open the nice bottle of wine and pour them each a glass.

connor couldn't believe this was actually happening. it has been ages since he has been on an actual date. this just seemed so surreal to him.

the spaghetti and meatballs, salad, and garlic were finally done cooking so he just mixed the sauce with he pasta and sent everything in the middle of the table.

connor was starting to feel more and more anxious at the time went by, which to connnor felt like was taking forever. to him one minuet felt like five.

when he looked at the clock it read 5:55 which means that oliver should be there in five or more minuets.

this night has to be absolutely perfect because oliver wasn't just another guy. he actually meant something to connor. he wasn't really sure what it is about oliver that makes him so likable but he just couldn't resist it. he needed oliver all to himself and connor was willing to wait to start a relationship until they knew each other better. which is kind of the whole purpose of tonight.

connor was just pacing the floor of his apartment feeling as nervous as he ever had. his future with this incredible guy all depended on this night.

connor froze completely when he heard a knock on his door.
