He drove me back to his house. I was a little star struck when I got there because Caroline flack was outside. “Hey Ol’s I just tried ringing you!” he looked at me. “Hey Carrie! Sorry my phone was on silent.” She nodded “who’s this then Oliver? You finally found someone then?” she said winking at me. I looked down. “This is Jaz, come in and I’ll explain...” she gave me a hug and we went inside. I didn’t really know what to do... Caroline had already sat down and Olly was making coffee. “Jaz you can sit down!” Olly laughed at my shyness. I awkwardly sat on the other sofa waiting for Olly. He came back with 3 cups and a pot of coffee which sounds weird but no one here likes tea anyway. He sat down next to me explaining to Caroline almost everything... I guess I had to trust her not to tell anyone but she was as crazy as she was on TV anyway. She just kept “aww”-ing while I sat there looking at the floor. When Olly went back into the kitchen she started talking to me. “You seem really shy...” I just nodded. “How come?” “I’m sat in the same room with my two idols I think that might have something to do with it...” she laughed. “Aww I think you’re very sweet... by the way Olly has a terrible habit of burping...” I giggled... “I'm sure it’s not that bad!” she gave me the ‘it really is’ look. I just laughed. “So what do you work as?” ugh I hate my job. “I'm a sales assistant but I want to be a presenter...” she laughed “you want my job to work with Olly? He’s a nightmare!” we checked to see if he had heard us... he hadn’t. “nah I’d love to work with both of you...” I looked at the floor as if I was almost ashamed. “That’d be so funny!” I looked up again... “We wouldn’t keep a straight face!” she was laughing. “I know I’d just laugh! You’ve tweeted me once by the way... I was so happy!” she stopped laughing. “Did I?” I nodded. “Yeh it was ages ago... but I sent you a twit longer about bullying and stuff and you replied... I never thought you’d ever see it...” her face lit up “you’re the little girl bullied about height and reading and stuff!” I nodded. “You remember?” she came over and hugged me. “I know how you feel... I have to wear massive heels to even be normal height. It kills to walk sometimes but the things I do to be slightly normal.” She laughed at her own joke. “Yes but you’re pretty and always wear shorts! You’ve got the legs! And no one is normal... especially me.” and with that Olly walked back in. “I see you two are getting on!” he said winking at me. I looked at Caroline and we laughed. “Yes we’ve had a great time!” Caroline was so like me it was unreal. “I’d better be off... oh yeah and Olly great show yesterday!” he gave her a hug “thanks Caz see you soon for Xtra Factor!” she waved bye to me and left. Olly shut the door and started clearing up. “Do you want any help?” I offered. He shook his head. “Nope I’ll be back in a sec...” he winked at me. I waited around in his front room looking at pictures of who I could only assume was his family. His Socceraid medal was framed... he’s so cute with things like that. He came back in with two really big mugs of hot chocolate with whipped cream and marshmallows. “Hope you have a sweet tooth...” I nodded as he handed me a mug. He got a blanket and gestured for me to sit next to him. I curled my feet up as he put a film on. Drop Dead Fred.... he was such a kid but I didn’t mind. I drank my hot chocolate and felt really sleepy. Next thing I know I'm being carried into Olly’s bedroom and put onto the bed.  I fell asleep not really remembering the rest.
