29 First Date (1/2)

It was mid afternoon and Olivia was excited to start packing her belongings.It was just an hour left before she could go home and nothing was going to dampen her spirits.The nurse knocked

on the door and started to removed the wrapping around Olivia's head.

The nurse placed a small plaster on her temple and spoke cheerily ”There!You must be so excited to have your boyfriend take you home.”Olivia blushed at her remark and started to stutter ”M-m-my boy-boy-friend?”The pleasant nurse gave her a wide grin and slapped her back ”That's right sweetie pie! He's waiting just outside there and I gotta say mmmh if I was 20 years younger I would have given you a run for your money!”

Olivia face turned crimson as the nurse got up, gave her an over the top wink and let Eli in.”Ready to go?” he asked equally as embarrassed.Olivia grabbed her bag and walked out of the room.They decided to stop by Loreley's room before they left the hospital.It looked like no one was in the room so she sent Laila a quick text message before leaving.

Outside the sun was shinning and the birds were singing.It looked like a beautiful day, well at least to her.Eli took her hand into his and started to walk into the city.Olivia was confused as to what was going on and thought she might as well get some clarity.”Eli... is my dad not picking me up?” she asked shyly.Eli gave her a charming grin before answering ”Nope!I asked him if I could have a do over of my birthday and he... cough... agreed.”

Olivia flushed and tried to protest ”We can't have a do over!”Eli stopped walking and gave Olivia a serious look ”Why not!” he demanded.Olivia bite her bottom lip and peeked out of her lashes ”I didn't put in any effort to look nice enough to walk beside you today...” she said ever so quietly.

Eli let his jaw drop for a second and started to laugh hard.He pulled her into a hug ”You have no idea how cute you are!” he pulled her out of the embrace, gave her a small head tilt and smiled, there was an unknown twinkle in his eyes that just melted Olivia every time he looked at her like that. ”Well let's go!” he shouted before he dragged her off again.

Eli and Olivia spent the afternoon just goofing around, they stopped at an arcade, took a some pictures in a photo both, grabbed some food and ice cream at a near by stand and were now heading to go watch a movie.As they stood in front of the movie display screen trying to figure out what to watch, Olivia took the chance to stare at Eli.

To her at least, Eli seemed more dashing then he usually did.His posture was perfectly straight as me stroked his chin, deep in thought.His slightly tanned skin glowed with the setting sun while his medium fringed hair looked soft to the touch.His lips were partly parted again as he whispered the titles of the movies that were playing and their showing times.His long eyelashes seemed to fluttered elegantly as he teased any person who gazed upon his jade green eyes.

The only thing that seemed to ruin the perfect image of Eli was the giant white plaster on the left side of his cheek.She wondered how much it hurt when Agni slapped him, she was even viscous enough to dig the tips of her nails as she lifted her slap of his face.Leaving a bloody trails that reached his mouth.

Eli turned to face her and was saying something but she was too deep in her thoughts to register his words.Instead she raised her hand and ever so softly grazed the plaster with the tips of her fingers.Eli looked shocked and stopped moving his lips, Olivia's dreamy eyes looked into his and all she could feel was her heart aching.”I'm sorry she did that to you.” she muttered almost inaudibly.

Eli caught her fingers as they were leaving his face.He gave her a dead serious face that sent chills down her spine, his down turned eyes had passion behind them as he proclaimed ”I would let her do it again if it meant you were safe.”
