Hello everyone! It's 2020 and I realize how badly I have failed to keep my promise to try and finish this story back in 2019. But here we are! I want to let you guys know that I read all your comments (repeatedly) and I appreciate everyone of them.

STAY AT HOME AND WASH YOUR HANDS Y'ALL!

Ollie watched Vitelli as he moved around in her kitchen, he had woken up before her and was in the process of making them both breakfast. He was shirtless and in his boxers, he'd thrown on her apron and was whisking the eggs.

He'd yet to notice her.

It had been three weeks since she'd moved to the new apartment, so far there was no sign from the stalker. Vitelli and Ollie had gotten into a comfortable routine the past three weeks, he'd semi moved into her place, sleeping over more than he was not. There was an extra tooth brush in the bathroom and he'd even brought the coffee beans he favored to her place. They still haven't had the 'are we together now?' talk with each other.

Ollie wasn't seeing anyone else as far as she was concerned, not that she's have time to, between getting sexed up by Vitelli and her job she was filling all her time slots. Vitelli, as far as Ollie could tell, wasn't seeing anyone either. So far he'd spent every alternative of his nights at her place and had breakfast before leaving.

Ollie liked Vitelli, she knew she was half way in love with him at this point. He was the closed thing she'd get to being it. He was the one. But she wasn't sure if he saw her the same. Again, they haven't had the talk. Yet.

Over the course of knowing him and the three weeks that have gone by, Ollie keeps thinking of how all of this was temporary until the stalker was caught or until Vitelli grew bored of her.

"Hey," Vitelli said when he spotted Ollie leaning against the doorway, he paused briefly between sliding the omelette into the plates, he places the skillet place on the stove and makes his way to her, "Morning." He places a kiss on the side of her head and Ollie leans into him with a sigh. They hold their positions for a few seconds more than needed before parting. "Good morning." She whispers, staring at his butt as he makes his way further into the kitchen.

"Sit down and have breakfast." He says as he pulls off the apron and folds it, chad only in his boxers and makes his way to the table. Ollie sits right across from him on the table. They both have their breakfast, scrolling through their phones in comfortable silence.

Ollie peaks over hers and watches him for a brief moment. She's caught herself watching Vitelli a lot these days. "I'll be late tonight," He tells her, "There's some last minute files that I need to go over on top of the regular schedule. It's related to the merger the company has been working on." He tells her and Ollie nods. 

He's been mentioning it on and off for a few days now. It was an important merger that would increase the revenue Vitelli's company. They'd been interrupted more than once from someone calling him regarding it while they were both in the middle to crawling into each other's skin.

"Have fun at work." Ollie grins when they both are finally done getting dressed for the day, Vitelli nods, absentmindedly, going through his phone he waves at her and leaves first. She would go to her clinic, the bodyguard was to follow her in his own car.

*************** 

Ollie should have known that the week was going to get bad. It was only time before everything went downhill. Work at the clinic has hectic and she'd been doing shifts at the hospital as well. Ollie knew at once that the week was going to be a busy one. On Monday there had been an accident on the highway while she'd been at the hospital, it was a vehicle rollover that caused a pile up. This meant that there were serious casualties and it was all hands on deck.
