45 Please Donst Leave Me (1/2)

A very puffed cheeked Olivia started to change out of her bathrobe and back into her regular clothes.She slammed the locker door and looked at the time on her phone.Her Aunt Amy had another hour left of her pampering time,Olivia let out a big sigh ”What am I going to do now?” she mumbled under her breath as she leaned her forehead onto the locker.

After much internal debating Olivia made her choice and peeked her head out of the change room.She moved her head from left to right and figured it was safe enough to leave.As she took a couple of steps out she heard a husky voice ”Hey...”

She looked behind her and saw Eli, sitting crossed legged on the floor beside the change room.Olivia eyes became wide and sweat was now running down her face ”...Hey.”Eli slowly stood up and gave an apologetic look ”Can we talk?”Olivia crossed her arms, stood defensively as she shook her head no.

Eli took a step forward and tried to reach out for her but she instinctively stepped back.Eli sighed and moved his hand to the back of his neck ”I pushed you... I'm sorry... I know you weren't ready but I couldn't hold back any longer and... sigh... I understand if you don't want to be together anymore.” he said with a teary gaze.

Olivia nodded her head and turned to leave.Eli moved quickly to close the distance between them and embraced her from behind, he placed his head into the crook of her neck and gently whispered ”But I don't think I can ever let you walk away from me.Please don't leave me, I love you too much...”

Olivia gently placed a hand on his arm and kissed the side of his head.”Can you let go please?” she asked gingerly, Eli squeezed her tighter against his body and shook his head no.”I want to go somewhere more private to talk.” she said with a sigh ”Do you promise you won't run away again?” he asked quietly.

Olivia patted the top of his head ”I promise.”Eli slowly unwrapped his arms from her body, Olivia was now free, she turned to face him and gently moved his long fringe to the side, her thumb gently stroking the slightly swollen cheek ”Does it still hurt?” she asked.Eli grabbed the hand touching his face and kissed her palm ”No but is your hand ok?” Olivia watched Eli carefully ”I'm fine.”

Eli didn't let go of her hand and walked her towards the counter. There was a clerk lazying on top of the countertop with his arms stretched out, groaning.Eli coughed, the clerk jumped up and adjusted his robes ”Eli-sama!Good evening, how can I be of assistance to you tonight.”Eli gave him a look over ”I just wanted to go downstairs to my office.” he said nonchalantly.The clerk blushed a bright red as he moved out of his way ”Yes sir!”

Eli opened a door that blended into the wall, it revealed a case of stairs heading down towards the basement of the building.”Lenny please find something productive to do” he said looking back at the clerk before he took Olivia down the set of stairs. ”Yes sir!” Lenny proclaimed.

Olivia looked around, the entire basement was a storage faucilty, with rows of shelves holding various supplies.She caught sight of towels, cleaning supplies, purifiers, lotions and essential oils, plant food and more.”No fertilizer” as asked as they approached another door.Eli opened the door labelled Eli Delmira ”Nope, it's outside in a shed.I don't need any unnecessary' accidents that will cost me my business.” he explained monotonously.

Olivia walked into his office and was surprised to see his desk littered with documents that looked like blue prints and house listing book, she tuned to face Eli as he locked the door.”What are you doing?”she asked as she started to back away.Eli followed her slowly and tried to reach out for again.Olivia panicked as her bottom hit the desk.
