Days had past since... Then. I got time off work to recover... Or hang out more with Oliver, his idea. He had taken my mind off of what happened and we were getting closer. We had gone for walks to the park or just sat and played Xbox. He was cool and so was I, I mean I wasn't nervous around him anymore. We had clicked. That was it.
Friday had arrived and it meant the last day off before going back to work. I think Oliver told them about what happened and his plan to look after me but he wouldn't admit it.
I hadn't slept much, when Oliver goes it all comes back. 'I win, again.' He smirked at me. I looked, 'I let you win!' 'Is that right?' He said slowly placing the Xbox remote down. I looked at him and nodded, I could see the smile at the corner of his lips making me get butterflies. 'Well then...' 'What?' Before I could get away he grabbed my waist and started to tickle me. I started to scream with fits of giggles. 'Whose the best?' He asked continuing to tickle me 'Y-You are' I said inbetween laughter. He climbed on top of me with his knee on one of my calves, I started to panick 'I'm what?' He continued tickling but I was no longer listening. It was coming back, that night. I started to struggle 'Oli' he kept tickling. 'OLI' 'yeah?' He stopped tickling me and looked. Tears were running down my cheeks. 'Oh. Oh shit. I'm sorry I didn't mean-' he realised getting up. I then stood up and rubbed my cheeks with my shaking hands. 'Forget it' I said going to my room.
I sat on my bed and took deep breaths. 'I'm sorry Alex' I heard from outside the door. I tried to block him out. There just made me think of what had happened. Oliver then came in and crouched in front of me and held my hands. 'Look at me, Alex.' After a minute I looked at him slowly. 'I... Would never hurt you. Back there, I didn't... I didn't mean to. I wasn't doing it out of badness.' I nodded and flashed a smile. 'Here' Oliver sighed as he hugged me gently. 'I'd never let anyone hurt you okay.' I leaned out and looked at him confused I opened my mouth but before I could speak. He kissed me.
