Let Me Love You (Oliver Thredson x OC) - COMPLETED ✔

5. More Than Just Friends

Oliver Thredson is in his office. He has just finished his session with Kit Walker and is tired of hearing him deny continuously. And his story with the little green men is completely stupid. He's crazy, Oliver is convinced he's responsible for his wife's murder. You can't leave such a crazy man outside.

While he is writing a few notes about Kit, someone knocks on the door.

"Come in." He said without looking up from his notes.

The door opens, Oliver looks up and sees Hayden entering his office timidly. He gets up, smiling, forgetting completely what he was doing. He feels his heart beat slightly faster.

"Hayden!" He said as he approached her, glad to see her.

"Dr. Thredson," She greets him in her turn, in a teasing tone.

Oliver shakes his head, laughing. She likes to call him by his doctor's title to bother him. And Oliver must admit that it pleases him, to hear her pronounce his name with so much tenderness.

"Please, you know you can call me Oliver, even here," he answers, looking into her eyes.

Hayden smiled, but didn't answer. Oliver sees that something is bothering her. She places a lock of hair behind her ear, as usual when she is embarrassed. He begins to know her perfectly.

"Something is wrong?" Oliver asks, worried.

Hayden shakes her head slightly, but he sees that she isn't as usual.

"You can tell me everything you know." Oliver continues as he leans on his desk, crossing his arms. He smiles.

"Sister Mary Eunice thinks I'm coming to your office to get me fucked." Hayden answers suddenly.

Oliver looks at her in amazement at her last words, then starts to laugh.

"And why not?" Oliver asks amusedly.

Hayden opens her eyes wide, she doesn't find it funny. Oliver approaches her and places his hands on her cheeks. He looks at her intently.

"Hayden, what people think isn't important to me." He said softly. "More, Sister Mary Eunice to somewhat... disconnected since the incident with the Potter family."

Oliver sees Hayden watching him intensely as well. Her eyes go from his eyes to his mouth. She places a hand on his cheek. They look at each other as if time had stopped.

As Oliver prepares to put his lips on hers, Hayden turns her head lightly and then moves away. He is somewhat disconcerted by her reaction.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what took me..." he apologizes, removing his glasses to rub his eyes.

He was so close. He wanted to kiss her so much. And her reaction hurt him. He thought she felt the same as he did, but he must have been mistaken.

If he didn't control himself instantly, he would have already pushed her against the wall and savagely fucked her. But he had to be patient.

"It's me..." Hayden said, smiling timidly. "I... I wanted to ask you if you wanted to dine with me tonight?"

Oliver looks at her astonished. Then it's not over. He is glad that she takes the first step, otherwise he counted her to come and dine with him, at his home.

"If you cook, yes." Oliver answers in a teasing tone.

"I will do my best, but don't expect a gourmet dinner." Retorts Hayden, laughing.

She approaches Oliver and kisses him timidly on the cheek.

"See you tonight then," She said, smiling at him, a hand on his cheek. "Come as soon as you're ready, I'm not boring with the time."

Oliver smiled at her, then he nodded. Hayden walks up to the door and walks away. He can't believe it, this evening will finally be his chance. For weeks he has been waiting. Even if she doesn't show her feelings, he is convinced that this dinner isn't pure friendship.

He knows from the beginning that he has laid eyes on her, what he feels towards her. And the more he learns to know her, the more he is convinced that it's she, the one. He could restart a new life and hide his old skeletons in the closet.
