chapter eight

joshua basset

i love olivia rodrigo.

i wanna say it so bad but i have no idea how and the words won't exactly come out, jesus i'm like my own character.

but he had balls to say it.

it's still the free day, and we've already been on a date.

we were sitting on our couch, and i looked at olivia, "i love you." i blurted out, and she looked at me, "w-what?" she said, "i said i loved you olivia." i said.

she got up and sat in my lap, "i love you too joshua." she said, and i kissed her, so hard i almost left a bruise.

i leaned back so she was lying on top of me, and i felt so at peace. i felt her breathing as i ran my fingers through her soft brown hair.

olivia was my favorite person, by far.

but what would our friends think? our family? they saw what happened last time. but i just hope they're supportive.

because i love olivia, for real.

not that i didn't love her last time, but there's no silly girl to get in the way.

i felt so at peace when i held olivia in my arms, like nothing would ever change how i felt, ever. olivia put her chin up and we were looking at each other.

i pulled her shirt up and unclasped her bra with one hand, her jaw dropped, but she soon smirked, and i rolled her over.

her brown hair fell at her sides, but i pulled her up and her legs went around my waist. i walked into her room, which is where we mostly had sex.

she thought "my room was dirty" which is not true, but i didn't really care, because like it was still olivia.

- no smut

olivia and i sighed, we were sitting on the couch, "so, thanksgiving is coming up." olivia said to me, "yeah, what about it babe." i said, turning on an episode of friends.

"are you going back to LA for your mom?" she said, she was nervous, i could tell. "no, why?" i asked, and she took a deep breath.

"my mom and dad asked if you wanted to have thanksgiving with us, most of the cast is coming since our family is in LA and we don't want to spend a lot of money on flights." she said.

"of course, babe." i said, giving her a side hug and kissing her temple, but on the inside i was freaking out, she basically asked me to meet her dad.

her dad.

i'm scared of her dad, he wasn't in salt lake city with her mom because of work last season, but he's here this time.

but olivias by the piano, and she's belting out notes, but i know this song! ITS GROSS! i fucking love this song.

like, i don't think you guys understand.

when olivia wrote it for me, plus we were on facetime i literally almost exploded, but i think this is the full version.

"not gonna lie, your last name sounds so nicee, i bring you up in every conversation, we're young i know we got to be patient." i heard, olivias angelic voice floating through the house.

"olivia basset." i said, quietly, and i got butterflies. i smiled as i walked to my room and looked at the box.

matching promise rings.

i sighed, and i heard olivias voice, and i shoved the box in my pocket, and i walked downstairs, olivia looked at me and smiled.

she was still singing.

she finished and she went to stop the recording but i told her not to, i grabbed her hand and made her stand up with me.

both of us were in frame, and i pulled the box out and got on one knee, and opened the box, "olivia, will you promise?" i said, and she nodded.

"yes!" she said, and i slipped the ring on her finger, and she took the box, "josh, will you promise?" she said, copying me.

"yes!" i said, and she slipped the ring on my finger, they were on the right ring finger instead of the left.

i kissed her, and looked at the camera, i turned it off and i hugged her.

she cut the video into two parts, the song and the video of her and i. she posted the video on instagram and wrote the caption.

i said yes!

to promising josh forever, these promise rings are so cute, and i can't believe we didn't have them sooner, yeah, this is me and josh confirming what everyone thinks.

<3 josh & liv.

she put a photo of our hands after with the rings on, and after that put some photos of us kissing or together, and the last was a video of us kissing in slow motion.

"i can't believe we just did that." i said, and olivia nodded, before kissing my lips as a call made her phone buzz just as we were getting to making out.

"hey, mom." she said, rolling her eyes at me as i connected our hands, she put her mom on speaker as we quietly locked lips.

"i saw you went public with josh." her mom said, and olivia disconnected our lips, "uhm, yeah, why?" she said, and i put my hand on her thigh.

"your dad wants to meet josh." her mom said and i froze, meeting olivias dad was literally 5 days away.

"mom, i already told daddy that he would be meeting josh on thanksgiving, and please for the love of god don't let him be alone with josh, i'm scared for him." she said, and i slapped her arm playfully.

"okay, well, see you in 5 days, dress formal." her mom said, hanging up. "lover boy, that bored me out, round 2?" olivia asked.

"of course, princess." i said, and olivia giggled as i picked her up. olivia and i walked into her room and shut the blinds, quickly falling into the bed.

-no smut 🧍🏻‍♀️

olivia and i were in the bathroom, she was using it and i was washing my body off, she scrolled through her instagram and smiled at a comment.

i smiled at her.
