My Ocean

Chapter 32

Chapter 32
Olivia's POV

We walk through the hallway hand in hand. His hand is so warm, rough and yet weirdly soft, and I love holding it. He looks at me and smiles and I feel like warmth in my heart. Being around him makes me happy, but sadly this wouldn't be for too long. "So, wanna go out for lunch after bio?" He asks,

"Yeah sure, or we could make lunch," I suggest,

"I doubt your parents would let that happen," he says and we chuckle.

"Liv!" I hear someone scream. I see Tina running towards me from a distance, and as she gets closer, I let Peter's hand go, making him look at me in confusion. He tackles me and hugs me real tight, "hey babes where have you been? It's like I haven't seen you in ages," she says,

"T you literally saw me a day before yesterday,"

"I know it's just that we hardly spend any time together anymore," she looks away and frowns and my heart breaks.

"I'm sorry T," I pout,

He shakes her head, "it's alright," she smiles at me. "Hey Peter, how're you?" She chimes,

"I'm good and you?" He asks her sweetly.

"I'm good too," her eyes shine as she says so. Gosh she really likes him. The rest of the group shows up behind her and we all exchange hugs,

"Hey do you guys wanna go to the club tonight?" Charlotte asks,

"Do you think about partying all the time?" I ask and chuckle,

"You bet!" She winks,

"I'll pass babes, I really need to finish some work,"

"Ugh since when did you become a bore?" Jacob retorts,

"Shove it jerk!" I say and flip him off. "Come one Liv, it'll be fun, like old times," Ethan says,

"Sure I guess,"

"Wanna join Peter?" Tina asks him, looking up at him hoping he'd say yes,

"Yeah alright I wouldn't mind that,"

"Fuck yeah! See you idiots after class," Jacob says as he wraps an arm around Charlottes shoulder and walks away. Before Ethan could walk away I pull him aside and say, "you guys carry on, we'll be there in a few minutes," as I watch Peter and Tina walk away,

"So, did you like take Tina out or something?" I ask,

"I did actually, we had an amazing time together, I think it's going good," he smiles at the memory,

"Really?" I try not to sound so skeptical.

"Yeah really, I might take her out again," he says,

"Wow that's great dude, yeah you should do that," I say and feel a pang of guilt hit me. What am I doing? Why am I stuck in between? And it all just messes up even more now that I have feelings too. Fuck!

"Thanks Liv, it's all happening because of you," he says and hugs me before walking away. I head towards biology class and pray everything goes well.

*******

"Is this cute?" I ask my mom as I look at myself in the mirror. I put on a bodycon black dress and paired it with some red bottoms. I curled my hair and put on minimal make up. "You look gorgeous darling, wouldn't be surprised if Peter's jaw drops," she says and giggles like a school girl.

"So I shouldn't change again?" I ask as I look at the dresses thrown on my bed,

"No girl you look amazing!" She exclaims,

I smile at her, "thanks mom,"

I walk towards the door and she stops me, "hey Liv,"

"Yes mom?"

"Do you have feelings for him?"

"For who?" I play dumb and ask,

"You know who I'm talking about," she says as she walks towards me and places her arms on my shoulders, "Olivia I'm your mother, I can tell whether or not you have feelings,"

"Mom you're tripping," I chuckle and look away,

"Look at me," she says and I do so, "you have feelings don't you?" And I nod, "you sure babes, I don't want you feeling hurt all over again, especially after-"

"Mom, I know what you're concerned of and I swear he isn't like that, he is an amazing guy who actually really cares about my feelings. The only sad thing is that I cannot tell him about how I feel,"

"And why is that?"

"Because," I sigh, "because he's not supposed to be mine,"

"And what does that mean?" She asks confused,

"You won't understand mom,"

"Well I may not understand now but let me tell you one thing, do not keep it in for too long, you will regret it, and whatever it is, be strong because trust me, if you believe your feelings are strong enough, nothing, and I mean nothing will stop you from being with him," she says and kiss my forehead,

"Thanks mom," I reply with a small smile,

"Now go and have some fun!"
