“Mon amour, I think you’re the one with the issue using all those swear words. But don’t you ever say that, I care if you get hurt. If you get hurt that hurts me, stupid.” She rested her forehead against his and sighed. Liv knew she’d probably rip of the head of anyone who dared to hurt the man, but she also knew that there wasn’t much she could do to prevent them from hurting him either. “Well, Andrew, I really like you and I don’t know…” Olivia teased him with a laugh, reaching to grab his shirt that was on the ground and wrapping it around herself. “Guess I’ll just have to go buy some peanut butter to take my place.”

“I don’t even use that many, not compared to some. I’m not actively trying to get hurt. I know, but I meant more physically. They can shoot me for all I care, but if they lay a finger on you… I’ll kill them myself” it was really that simple. As long as she and Tia were safe, then he would go through anything. The minute either of them got injured… oh that would not be a sight that anyone would wish to see. “You’re going to go out, half naked, to buy peanut better? Damn, you are committed”. 

[oliviapoitier-wc]

“Still a few too many, no more bad words,” Olivia rolled her eyes and pressed a kiss onto his lips to stop him from arguing any more with her. “Don’t say that Andrew, no one will be shooting you and if they do I’ll jump between you and that bullet. Don’t think anyone will be harming me any time soon with you around,” She smiled, running her hands through his hair. “Mhmm. Your shirt fits like a dress but I guess they still show off my legs well enough to the rest of the world since peanut butter is taking over my place in your heart.” Liv teased him with a wink, slyly walking over to the door slowly.

Drew: They're just words sweetheart

Liv: And my father telling me that I have to marry Carter are also just words mon amour

“Stop being so gloomy,” Liv rolled her eyes at him with an exasperated sigh. Even if he didn’t want firneds, every needed at least some. “It’s late, walk home with me?”

“I’m a pessimist, what are you expecting” and how could he really be happy? He had never deserved it, and his father had made damn sure he never felt it. “Is there a choice?”

[oliviapoitier-wc]

“Maybe for my optimism to have rubbed off a bit on you?” Olivia sighed, nodding. “No, probably not, but I don’t want Drew to have to leave Tia at home so you might be the next best option, lest the man get worried that I’m walking out on the streets at night alone.”

oliviapoitier-wc:

“I think you might be the common denominator here, because sometimes I want to strangle you too Andrew Bennett, like when you use bad language.” She teased him. He did make her mad sometimes, but it just never lasted long. “Peanut butter over me?! I don’t think we can do this, thought I’d always have the number one spot,” She gasped, shoving him away playfully. “I don’t think I’m that cold now you’ve made me quite riled up with the fact that I rank second to peanut butter,” Olivia smiled softly before gently tugging him back against her and giving him a slow kiss. “Stop talking so much.” She mumbled, her eyes glancing automatically to the door one last time.

“Honey, I think you just have an issue with swear words. It’s actually really cute. Maybe it is, but hey if it’s me they hurt and not you, then I don’t really care” that was the worst thing he could imagine. Her ever getting hurt. “Look I just really like peanut butter” he joked. But it was going to be easy for her to win any argument if she was going to kiss him like that. Then again, it was probably easy for her to win anything with him. “You’re the one complaining about peanut butter”.

Drew: You know I don't say this in front of her right?

Drew: Why are you so mad over swear words?

Liv: I know.

Liv: Because they're bad!

“No one died because it wasn’t our families who weren’t approving I guess. And kill us, who wanted to kill us my god Andrew,” Liv laughed teasingly. “As long as you’re not letting me out of your life, I won’t let it go. And light? Is it that hard to be the love of your life?” She winked, her tone still teasing. “Do we really need to check if it’s true when we’ve been checking it out non-stop for the past months?” But she definitely wouldn’t mind checking again. At all. Especially in his office since it was somewhere new as well. “You’re perfect to me. Every part of you. You are not shallow, because you’re still with me when you could have all the models in the world Andrew.”

“I am pretty sure your father wants to kill me, also think mine wants to kill me… maybe it’s just me they wanted dead” he joked… was it a joke? He wasn’t sure he actually knew at this point. “Well that is never going to happen. Ah… well.. because that spot is taken by peanut butter, though you do come second to it”. He smirked at the question, “your apartment isn’t cold, so yes, clearly we do need to check it if you’re cold here” he countered, moving away for a second to actually remove his trousers, and kick them and the shirt out the way. “God damn, think I missed a trick” he replied jokingly, “yeah, even if I could, that doesn’t stop the fact I fell for you. Doesn’t mean I am less shallow, just means you are my exception”.

“You can warn me all you want, but I’m still going to be your friend.” She retorted. “Even if I’m hurt because you don’t like my hugs. But look, I’m sorry that my father is putting you in this situation, I know you don’t want to get engaged to me.”

“Your funeral” he replied with a shrug, even if he knew that it very well might be. “Has nothing to do with your hugs, I don’t like physical contact full stop”. He shrugged, “done it before, no doubt will end up doing it again. That’s what having rich parents does”.

“Stop being so gloomy,” Liv rolled her eyes at him with an exasperated sigh. Even if he didn’t want firneds, every needed at least some. “It’s late, walk home with me?”

Drew: Well shit

Drew: I meant more for when you're mad with me

Liv: ANDREW BENNETT! WE HAVE A YOUNG DAUGHTER WATCH YOUR DIRTY MOUTH.

Liv: Like now? Even if I'm mad, I won't want anyone else, I'll still love you, stupid

[carterxjacobs]

oliviapoitier-wc:

“Doesn’t matter. Still going to be here for you no matter what you say,” Olivia rolled her eyes at his stubborn nature. “Promise.”

“That’s your choice, don’t say I didn’t warn you” about what he wasn’t sure. But he knew what happened when people got close to him, it was why he tried to avoid it.

[oliviapoitier-wc]

“You can warn me all you want, but I’m still going to be your friend.” She retorted. “Even if I’m hurt because you don’t like my hugs. But look, I’m sorry that my father is putting you in this situation, I know you don’t want to get engaged to me.”

“Were we not lustful teenagers? Okay, perhaps not teenagers, but still lustful young adults. Although I’d say ours was still just as messy don’t you think? Especially that time you forgot your charger?” Olivia teased him, never going to let that go. “Andrew Bennett, don’t say that. You’re strong in your own way and I’ll forever love you for it.” She smiled softly up at him. “I have never heard of that saying, did you make that up?” Liv laughed, unbuckling his belt with a raised eyebrow. “I hate to admit that you’re not perfect, but yes, you were a little shallow when we first met. But I’m glad you changed, although I suspect you had it in you the whole time, just had to take a while for you to discover it.”

“Yes, but on the plus side no one died because of what we did. Least I don’t think anyone has died. Although think some people did want to kill us. Olivia… light of my life… let it go” he replied, rolling his eyes as he spoke. “I say it because you’re the only one who seems to think anything else is true” and he wished it didn’t bother him so much, but he had been raised to believe that appearance was everything, it was hard to shake. “Perhaps, still probably do need to check that it’s true” he replied with a smirk.  “I’m not perfect. No one can be, it’s subjective isn’t it? I was the perfect son remember… and that was shit. A little? I was very shallow, probably still am”.

[oliviapoitier-wc]

“No one died because it wasn’t our families who weren’t approving I guess. And kill us, who wanted to kill us my god Andrew,” Liv laughed teasingly. “As long as you’re not letting me out of your life, I won’t let it go. And light? Is it that hard to be the love of your life?” She winked, her tone still teasing. “Do we really need to check if it’s true when we’ve been checking it out non-stop for the past months?” But she definitely wouldn’t mind checking again.

Drew: I wouldn't, but then I'm not the one saying no sex, that's on you

Drew: I'm going to remind you of that

Liv: I will last that long if you keep on using bad language

Liv: You don't have to Drew, I'll remind you that I love you and only want you every day without you having to remind me

[oliviapoitier-wc]

Text || Drew-Bear

Drew: Sweetheart, we both know that you wouldn't last that long

Drew: Did you know that I did? You might sell yourself short, but I don't. You're beautiful, kind, brave, and for the idiots who only want money, well you have it

Liv: Are you testing me? Because I'd say YOU wouldn't last that long. I think I could

Liv: Shh, I love you. Even if other people want me, I only want you

[drewxbennett]

“You’re probably right. But this has been the most unconventional way of falling in love, probably even more than Romeo and Juliet. Although I think what we have now just maybe be worth the pain,” Liv teased him with a wink. “Okay. If that’s what you need then I’ll support you and not meddle with your situation then. Just let me know if I can help in any way okay?” She smiled. “But now I’m cold,” Olivia poured playfully, helping him take off her dress shirt before pulling him close to her. “You’re biased mon amour, but you do make me feel better all the time though.”

“Romeo and Juliet wasn’t love though, that was just two lustful teenagers. Unconventional maybe, but it’s ours, and hey meant we got to skip all the messy bits” and maybe part of him wished that things could have been easier, but at the end, if it had been any different things might not be this perfect. “I will. Thank you. I know my relationship with my parents has affected a lot of things between us. Guess I’m just not as strong as Dan is when it comes to handling their shit” he still didn’t know how brother had that side of things under control, the whole thing seemed to have simply controlled his entire life. “Well you know what they say, two bodies share heat so well” he teased, any worries about the security far from his mind at this stage. “I’m biased because of how I feel, and we know that when we first met I was shallow. I was right back then, you are beautiful. It was only after that I realised you were beautiful inside as well”.

“Were we not lustful teenagers? Okay, perhaps not teenagers, but still lustful young adults. Although I’d say ours was still just as messy don’t you think?

“You might no do it, but that doesn’t make you not a friend,” Liv stated seriously. “And so I’ll always be here for you even if you don’t need it.”

“That’s in your head” he replied with a shrug. He didn’t do friendships, he didn’t deserve people in his life. “I don’t need it”.

[oliviapoitier-wc]

“Doesn’t matter. Still going to be here for you no matter what you say,” Olivia rolled her eyes at his stubborn nature. “Promise.”

[drewxbennett]

oliviapoitier-wc:

“I know. The best one out there. A little too good because you bring work home more than I’d like. Looking back, maybe we should’ve turned that spark into a first date instead of going straight to… bed.” Olivia chuckled. “You know, would you be okay with me reaching out and having a chat with your parents? Because Andrew, I’ll be honest with you, I still think you care a little bit about their opinion, even if you don’t accept that you care. And I’d like to try my best to win them over.” She explained, hoping he’d see where she was coming from. They were still his parents after all. “Hey! Drew!” Liv exclaimed as she was flipped around, laughing at her he’d managed to distract her. “Good.” She smiled softly up at him. “Only to you, and I’m okay with that. Sometimes I think you’re a little crazy for thinking I looked beautiful when I was sleep deprived. Maybe the sleep deprivation got to your vision.”

“That might be pushing it a lot. I just do my preparation well, that’s all. Maybe… and most likely it would have ended with us splitting up and regretting the whole thing. Instead we had Tia, and we had a way to actually fall in love without all the other crap” no, he couldn’t regret or wish anything had been different. Not when this had led to a happy ending. “Honestly, not really. Yeah, I do still care, which is why I’m not trying to fix this. I need to know if they care enough about me to be the parents for once and come to talk to me. After everything, the least I deserve is seeing that they care, and it just won’t happen if either of us go to them” though his hope in that happening was fading, and fast. Seemed he really was just the spare child. “Mmm? See I’d say this was much better” he replied, moving to remove her top. “Nah, I am perfectly sane. You are just incredibly beautiful”.

“Because you’re a friend Carter. And I respect you, I care. Is that not enough?” Olivia raised an eyebrow at him, regarding him with a serious expression.

“And you’ve known me long enough to know that I don’t do friendships” perhaps that was cruel, but surely she realised that by now. He was a monster, he didn’t deserve to have any, but he could never admit to that either.

[oliviapoitier-wc]

“You might no do it, but that doesn’t make you not a friend,” Liv stated seriously. “And so I’ll always be here for you even if you don’t need it.”

[oliviapoitier-wc]

Text || Drew-Bear

Drew: That might have something to do with the fact you are complaining about my language

Drew: So he's leaving it down to us to find a way out? Has he actually said that he doesn't?

Liv: You use that language again and you won't be seeing me with clothes off for a week sir

Liv: I know Carter well enough to know that he doesn't want me Andrew. I doubt anyone else wants to marry me so you don't need to be too worried okay?
