" Mommy? I want chocolate instead of vannila!! " A little boy whined. His long blonde hair covering his eyes while he tugged on his mother's tunic.

" Whatever you want Oliver." I leaned in closer and furrowed my eye brows.

" Excuse me? What's your sons name? "

She patted the little boys head with a smile.

" Hey, what's your name buddy? " She asked in that ultra annoying mom voice I used to hear all the time when I babysitted and they came home to pick up their child. The little boy sucked on his fingers and stared at me with big blue eyes.

" Jesse! " He jumped up. The mom gave him a high five and took his unslobbered hand. I genuinely smiled. Jesus what's wrong with me!! I'm tottaly hearing things!

" Well Jesse, How about a free Cookie with your chocolate ice cream frolio! " I tried to sound like his mother. But it only came out as a creepy voice that you hear on TV.

The little boy jumped up again.

" That'll be 5.68$ " She handed me the exact amount and I stuck it into the register.

" Thank you, You're frolio blizzards will be here in a few." I turned around to turn on the machine, sticking two frolio cups underneath.

" Excuse me I'd like to order." I lifted one finger.

" OK, I'll be there in a-" He stood there leaning over the counter. A crooked smile curved on his lips.

" I want a banana split frolio, loads of sprinkles and gummy bears, with chocalate topping, nuts and whipped cream." He said.

My heart dropped. Was this some hallucination?

I turned around and handed grabbed both of the frolios handing it to her kid and her.

" Oliver? Is that really you? " I asked eyeing him closely. My fingers presses against the counter. He nodded. I backed away.

" What're you doing? " I still remembered that he was Oliver. But not Oli. Not my Oli to be exact.

" I believe I'm ordering some frolio."

He said leaning closer over the counter.

The smell of his cologne hit me like a bicycle going into the free way.

I stumbled back.

" I mean.. What are you doing here?! Shouldn't you be off somewhere.. shooting some music video or something." I shot back.

I put the frolio cup under the machine and added a bannana and nuts to the cup.

" Look.. I wanted to see you.. I'm only going to be in Alabama for another day and I'm back on the bus. I wanted to see if you were OK."

I snorted.

" I dont need you checking up on me out of blue.. like you actually care."

He grabbed my wrist from the counter and pulled me closer so that I could face him.

" I do care." I yanked my arm back. Though I secretly wanted him to hold on longer.

" Whatever." I took his out from the holder and added whipped cream and sprinkles,also shoving gummy bears and covering it with chocolate topping.

I slid the frolip over the counter and counted up the items.

" That'll be 3.78$," He smiled and pulled out his wallet.

He slid me 400 dollars. I glared at him.

" I said 3.78$! "

He shrugged.

" Oh come on Britt! just take it! it isn't a lot anyway."

I slid back the money.

" No, I won't take any of your money."

" Your so stubborn." I shrugged and handed me a 5.

" Thanks." I grabbed it and gave him back the change.

I still felt a little numb about the whole thing. I mean I could be seriously hallucinating but when he touched my wrist it felt to real.

I contemplated while he ate his Frolio.

" You OK? " I nodded. " Hey, when's your lunch hour? I want to take you out."

I rolled my eyes.

" I'd rather eat Frolio.. or the some Chinese at the First Of China at the end of the street." I said clearly not flattered by him.

He put his spoon down and touched my cheek. His cool fingers gliding along my cheek bones.

" What did I ever do to lose you." He said. His lips just inches from mine. I held onto a rag. Squeezing it so tight my knuckles turned white. My cheeks flushed a bright red, my face getting hot. I pulled away gently looking up into his soft caramel hazel brown eyes.

" Ol-Oliver. Please.." I felt the heart pain again and a knot tied in my stomach.

I pushed the counter door open wiping the empty tables.

" Brittany. I can't get away from you. And you can't get away from me! No matter how much you try.. your drawn to me." I stopped and thought for a second.

" Yeah you're right.. I can't get away from you.. but you getting away from me wasnt so hard huh? "

I snapped. He pulled me into his arms. My head pressed against his chest.

" I didn't want to get away from you." I struggled out of his grip, but fighting with Oliver was like fighting with a brick wall. Seriously! he got lean! and stronger!

" Please.. Brittany. Just please...forgive me."

I stopped fighting and gave in. Exasperated and breathless.

He kissed the top of my head.

" Forgive me Britt. I'm so sorry."

I nodded. Though I didn't know if I meant it.

" I forgive you." I said. He gave me a big smile and stared into my eyes for what seemed like an hour. His face inching closer to mine. I panicked. If he kissed me I'd be in mud all over again. Drowned in it.

I couldn't let him get to close. I slapped him with the back of my hand. He held his cheek in pain, his face getting a little red

" Oh oli! I'm sorry! Its just..I'm sorry! " I said cupping his face.

He shook his head.

" I'm alright. Its ok." I sighed. I don't know it just kind of happened.

" So are you coming with me for you're lunch break." I shrugged.

" You owe me for slapping me." He said still holding his cheek. " Damn Brittany did you go to some slapping school ? It hurts like hell." I blushed.

" Sorry. And fine Ill go! but just as friends! deal? "

He held out his pinky.

" Deal."
