-Tex's POV-

I kissed his lips once more, and pulled away. He looked at me with such love, it almost made my heart melt, and my knees weak.

''I'm so infatuated with you.'' He whispered into my ear. ''You're the most stunning girl in the world.''

I laughed lightly, but inside my heart was beating so fast, and I could feel my palms sweating. I wanted this.

''You're such a goofball.'' I joked, pushing his shoulder softly. ''Remember... Our relationship is toxic-'' He interrupted me with a kiss.

''Beautifully toxic, Tex.'' He kissed me again. ''So beautiful.''

The loud sound of his phone ringing interrupted us. I frowned as he fiddled getting it out of his pocket, and quickly answered it, after mouthing the words ''I'm sorry'' to me.

''Hey.'' He spoke happily. ''It took you a while, but you're finally not being a b*tch. Ha ha. I'm kidding baby, but I am so glad that you're talking to me again. Really?'' He looked at me, his eyes slightly wide. ''That's awesome news. I can't wait to see you!! Bye babe.''

I frowned again, and pulled away when he tried to touch me.

''I hate this. Why are we sneaking around? Pretending that we're happy in our relationships?! This sucks.''

''One reason. The baby. I can't abandon when she's almost due the baby, how heartless would that look?''

''And cheating isn't heartless?'' I scoffed. ''Oli knows that I'm in love with someone else, I know he can sense it.''

''A little while longer, and we'll be together officially.'' He lips lightly kissed my hand. ''I promise you.''

I sighed but nodded. The amount of sh*t I was going through just to be with him. I knew it would be worth it though, he makes me feel so alive.

''So... I was thinking of dying my hair electric blue again, but all over. Wouldn't that look sick?'' He looked at himself in the mirror, and ran his fingers through his hair. ''I need to switch it up.''

I bit my lip, and walked behind him, wrapping my arms around his waist.

''I love you.'' I kissed his lips. ''I gotta go.''

He sighed, and turned around to face me. His fingers stroked my cheek.

''I love you, my perfect babe.'' He returned the kiss. ''I'll see you later.''

''I've booked us flights to London, for a few months. I miss home so much, and I knew you always loved it..'' Oli pressed the tickets into my hand. ''It would be so great.''

I frowned, and put them down on the bedside table. ''You go. You go and take the girls.''

''Baby, I have tickets for all of us. We can all go, like a family.''

''Oli...'' I sighed. ''I really don't feel up for London. It's hard enough living so far from Andy and everyone, but going to London... I-''

''C'mon, it's not like you're leaving the country forever, it's just a little holiday.''

I pressed my lips against his, and wrapped my arms around him. I loved him. I didn't want to hurt him... Again. It killed me thinking about it.

''I love you, Oliver. I know how much you love spending time with the girls, and you hardly get to see them cos of tour. I want you to go, and enjoy it with them.''

He gently pushed me off of him, and looked into my eyes, subtle sadness washing over his features.

''Is this your way of breaking up with me?'' He asked, hurt taking over his voice.

I breathed in sharply, to stop my tears that were threatening to spill. He looked so upset. He knew.

''... O-Of course not. You know I love you, I would never.'' I lied through my teeth.

''Stop with the lies, Texas.'' He snapped. ''I've put up with you through everything. Your overdose, your heart attack, even the times you cheated on me, I took you back, cos I loved you. But you're subtly hinting to me that you want a break up?''

''I wasn't!'' I cried.

''I know you, baby. I've known you forever. I have two children to you, I know you inside out, and I know when you're lying.''

''Oli..'' I sat down on the bed. ''I'm-''

''Go.'' He sighed. ''Just go. I don't want to hear anything you say. I'm taking my daughters, and I'm going to London. Tonight.''

''You can't go tonight, Ven has school tomorrow.''

''Well, not anymore. I'll call you so they can speak to you.''

''Oli. Wait!'' I ran out of the room after him. ''For how long?!''

He turned and just shrugged. His eyes looked the saddest I've ever saw them. I felt like I just tore his heart out, and my own too.

''I'm not doing a runner with them, if that's what you're worried about.'' He sighed.

''Please can we just talk. I don't want us to part on bad terms.''

He shook his head. ''All you've ever done is hurt me, I have no energy to fight anymore. Walking away from the love of my life will be the hardest thing I've ever had to do, but I can't be around you anymore.''

''Oli. I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry.'' I sobbed and tried to hold his hand.

''Get off me.''
