Gone (complete)

Chapter 7

"This place is so beautiful," Olivia gasped with sparkling eyes, she glanced over at the crystal clear lake with satisfactory. "Good because we are coming here everyday," Case explained, "excuse me!?" She snapped, "your not the boss of me, it is beautiful but I hate long walks." She complained in a softer tone, sitting down on the floor. "Okay, sorry for the suggestion, I thought we could spend time together," he frowned a little hurt. "Dude, we live in the same house, I'm not going anywhere for now, I don't think anyone will adopt my ugly ass," she harshly made fun of herself. "But what about me, if I'm gone..." he argued, "we can keep in contact." She didn't want to lose and kept answering everything. "Fine," she looked right into his pale blue eyes uncomfortably, "you know your beautiful," he commented, changing the subject. Her stomach dropped hearing this so suddenly, "thats so sweet of you to say," she blushed while covering her face to hide her embarressment. She felt something inside her, a tingly feeling of purpose and love, "so wanna head back? its getting late." He broke the silence by grabbing her hand and leading her out of the park. Behind her the two puppies raced to catch upto her fastening pace. She looked at her left hand as it was clenched into Cases. It brought her to become nervous, "we live together and if we fall in love, this could become bad and rules will be set, maybe it should be kept a secret?" she told herself softly. She ignored the fact Case was staring down at her as she thought out loud. "How weird would it be if i asked you to be my girlfriend?" he stopped and spoke into her passionate eyes, she thought for a minute about the concequences. Sadly her feelings couldn't stop her, "its not weird at all, your expressing your feelings," she replied slowly. "How about a big fat YES!" she smiled, screaming enthuastically.

"Hey your back!" Lexie welcomed them friendlier then earlier. "Yea, it got too dark," Olivia assured her, she unclipped the leashed dogs and they bolted upstairs. "Well, I'll see you later, got to go check on Claire and the Sugar gliders you know," she slowly disappeared into her room, feeling awkward. She realised a shadow had followed her, "um, hey..." the figure grinned, letting herself in and sat on her bed. "What brings you here, to this plain boring room?" Olivia asked, "I just want to talk to you about Case..." Katie revealed with an annoyed look. "Dude, if your going to be mean then leave, I don't care what you have to say." Olivia snapped, turning her back on her friend coldly. "Just let me speak!?" Katie sighed impatiently, "fine," she rolled her eyes and gave her eye contact. "As i was going to explain, Case is not the guy I've told everyone, he did something without fault..." she started but was interrupted again, "Case told me." "Oh, I just wanted to say I'm sorry for the way I have acted, you don't deserve this much pressure, I can see you two are becoming friends." Katie smiled a bit, trying to seem like everything she said was being put behind them. "More then friends actually," she smirked, rubbing her neck nervously, "oh god... you just met," Katie frowned deeply. "He seems like a nice guy, how could I resist, besides what do I have to loose?" she asked quickly, "your vir- JOKES I DIDN'T MEAN THAT!" Katie joked around. She started to stir Olivia up, "wow, very funny," she clapped sarcastically. Katie shrugged and walked out of the door, "finally peace and quiet." Olivia lay back on her bed with Claire at her side, she felt a wet nose touch her dangling hand, she jumped up in confusion to find Storm sitting at her feet with her deep hazel eyes staring into her soul. "Why do you have to be so creepy?" she giggled, lifting her onto the bed with Claire, the little cat glared at the pup with jealousy, clawing at her fluffy white tail. The pup yelp, turning around swiftly to nip the cats hind-leg viciously. "You two need to learn to get along," Olivia sighed, placing them both on the floor so no one gets attention. Storm started chasing Claire across the room, Midnight joined in with a quick spring of his muscular legs. His snout was held high in enjoyment. "Stop it your three" she demanded furiously. "What's with this zoo of wild animals?" Case asked as he entered unexpectedly, his cockatoo was held high above the squabbling animals. "Uh they are just playing," Olivia felt like a bad animal parent, "you got to discipline them," he replied quickly, Olivia got up more confidently, picking the cat up and placing her on her tree, after she trotted to the pair and gave them dirty looks. They knew exactly what they had done, she kicked them out of her room and they ran back into the backyard down the private stairway at the backdoor. "That's better," Case cheered, "yay..." she grinned weirdly. "You might be wondering why I'm annoying you, I wanted you to have a look at my new macaw baby, you like birds, I want you to tame her," he offered. "That's so cool! thanks babe," she hugged him, "besides its not like it matters because its in the house already anyway." Case encouraged with a bright smile, "lets go then!" Olivia cheered, getting up and running out of the door, she was followed by Case who sped past her to open the aviary with his key. Her pupils dilated as she saw the baby macaw fly towards her, curious and ready to go. "She's already hand reared and semi-tamed by me but I want you to continue to bond with her, she is a gift from me," he smiled. Olivia grinned and made the bird step up on her slowly, handing a walnut to her as if they where best-friends. "She already knows!" Case was excited for her.
