The man Across the street

Chapter 2

Jason's P.O.V

I thought about how Olivia was acting today. She left to go home first, I know she likes me. But I want her to admit it herself. As I walked home, I thought about what she was doing, I liked her too. But she...needs to learn how to speak for herself. All those "girlfriends" I dated were just a set up. I payed each girl to like me, I know it's like cheating but it is worth it. 

As I was walking down the road I saw Oliva sitting on a bench, with her eyes closed. Breathing in and out, in and out. "Hey Olivius," I said calling her by the nickname I gave her. She loved it, now I think she hates it. She didn't open her eyes but said " Oh, hey Jason." Their was a hint of relief in her voice, but why? I sat next to her. "Olivius, are you sleepy?" She nodded, as she put her head on my shoulder. "I wish we were little again, and you would take care of me." She said under her breath. I do, Olivia. Just not like before.

Olivia fell asleep and I was lost in thought. I realized it was already 7 O'clock of the night, and she was sleeping so peacefully. I decided to carry her all the way home since it was only a few blocks away from home. As I lifted her into my arms, she flinched. "Shhh shhh..." I said, she grunted. And I knew, she was having a nightmare.

"Don't leave me Jason. Don't leave me..."she murmured. I smiled,  "Don't worry, I'm right here. I won't leave you, baby Olive." I said. Let's get you home Olive. I kissed her forehead, and she smiled. "I love you Olivia. I would never leave you." I was walking to her house and was nearly there. But as I as walking, I couldn't resist the temptation to kiss her. I placed my lips gently over hers, and she flinched. But kissed me back, luckily she didn't wake up.
