Y/n's POV

"So what happened when I left?" Ollie asked once he had gotten back with the ice cream.

"Look, it's not that big a deal. I said what I wanted to him, didn't hold back, and he asked me on a real proper date. I told him I needed to think about it. Because you can't expect me to just rush into something like that am I right?" I rushed my words as I pulled out the spoon I had prepared for when he would get back.

He chuckled as he sat down next to me "You know for someone who didn't know how to talk for about 24 years you sure can talk pretty fast."

I rolled my eyes "Well you asked and I answered, what does it matter the speed. Plus it's expected I amaze you as I am quite amazing."

He snorted as he took some ice cream out of my tub "Yes, yes you are. Do you what my opinion on what you should do?"

"No?"

"Too bad so sad. I think you should do it, because I can tell you he doesn't think of you as nothing. And if he's willing to come over here in the rain and sit outside your door for you don't you think that means something?" He said not really meeting my eyes, looking at different things in the room. It was a bad habit I had called him out on multiple times, I had hoped that being a detective would help with that but I guess not.

"But I can't be her and I don't think you understand how hard that is for me. If I were to date him, for real this time, do you know how hard that would be for me? Knowing that on one side there's a family that wishes I were different, that I were anything but me. And as far as I can remember they don't even know I didn't know how to talk for the majority of my life! Can you imagine the kind of shit they'd give Max for that, well not him but me. It would be school all over again and I thought finally had gotten past that part of my life," by now we had both rested our spoons in the tub forgetting to eat for now.

"Y/n that was the biggest part of you life, childhood shapes a person for life. Do you know what makes a lot of my job?"

I shook my head and waited for him to continue.

"People who come from messed up childhoods. But just the regular verbal abuse, although that does definitely add to it, it's the physical and mental abuse. The amount of people I have talked to who have suffered some kind of abuse form one or both parents is enough for a life time," he paused to breathe, and probably to get back on topic "Anyway my point is that you won't be able to forget that part of your life. It is what made you as strong as you are and I don't know about you but I wouldn't trade this y/n for any other y/n out there."

I smiled "Oliver don't get me wrong, I love the words you're saying and I totally get the point, but while I may not be able to forget what happened I by no means should have to go through it again. And this time it's by people who should welcome me has part of their family!"

"And that's totally reasonable, but you also have to understand that they had their heart set one this marriage for most-if not all- of Max's life. And that's quite a bit of time to be planning something."

I leaned my head over the back of the couch and groaned "Why do you have to be so convincing? I don't even want to agree with you in any way shape or form."

He shrugged his shoulders and picked up his spoon and starting to eat the ice cream again "It's all part of the job n/n. So does that mean you're going to go on a date with him?"

"I-"

"You do like him right?"

"Well-"

"If you don't like him then don't do it. I should've opened with that question. Ignore everything I've said if you don't even like him. Don't waste your time on him, wait but if you like him then I just insulted him. This is a mess."

"Are we done," I asked, a smile on my face at his rambling.

He gave a shy smile and nodded his head.

"Good! So as I was saying, or I guess trying to say, is that I did like him. And I think right now I'm not in the best place to say whether or not I like him. I think I just need a few days, but if you think it's a good idea then I think I'll give it a try. I mean what else can happen that hasn't already?"

"Exactly! Now that's the mind set to be in. Are you gonna tell him your answer?"

I turned so my body was facing he TV I turned it onto Netflix and put on one of my favorite movies. "You know I think he can wait a day or two."

Okay okay okay, so crap chapter I know. But I wanted to do something. How have you guys been? Also have way through I somehow changed my font and it semi freaked me out and I was ready to accept that half of this chapter would have different font from the rest. Have a good day/night!
