Save Me

one hundred eight

He picks me up and stands up and takes me into his room and setting me on the bed. I get under the covers as he hops over me and lays next to me. He pulls me close to him and kisses my cheek and I close my eyes.

[Olivia's POV]

I wake up and Anthony's arms are still tightly wrapped around my small frame. I twist around so I am facing him and kiss his lips to wake him up.

"Mmm.. Good morning." He says and flutters his eyes open. He caresses my cheek and I blush lightly. "Hangover?"

"Not too bad, thank god." I say with a giggle.

He kisses my cheek and gets out of bed, I groan and pull the covers over my head. "I'm not moving." I mumble.

"Come on, I'll make you some breakfast. You good with eggs?" He offers and my stomach tightens. Food. How am I going to get out of this?

"I'm not hungry." I lie.

"How are you not hungry?" He says, pulling the covers off me.

"I'm just not." I say.

"Okay, well just eat a little." He demands.

He grabs my hand as I stand up and takes me to the kitchen. I sit on a chair as he begins to cook. He puts on some old music on his phone and I laugh as he begins to dance.

"Don't go breaking my heart.." He sings.

"I couldn't if I tried." I sing back and smile.

We sings back and forth and he holds out his hands to me and I take them. He pulls me to my feet and we begin to dance in the kitchen. I face away from him and he wraps his arms around me and sways back and forth to the beat and kisses my cheek. I giggle and turn around and grab his hands and dance like a child.

Anthony burnt the eggs until they no longer resembled eggs anymore so we ended up just drinking some coffee. Thank god, less calories.

I run my fingers through my hair and realize how bad I must look. I could feel how tangled and messy my hair probably looked. "Oh my god, I look terrible."

"You look beautiful." He says with a smile. His smile fades quickly and he begins to realize something, "Oh my god.. Rose."

"Who?" I ask.

"My girlfriend.." He says slowly. "Oh god... Shit!"

"Why are you freaking out?" I ask him, reaching for his hand and squeezing it.

"What am I going to tell her? Oh I'm breaking up with you because i'm in love with a teenager. I can't exactly say that." He worries.

"You don't have to tell her that. Look, we can't tell anyone about us yet. I mean no one. Whatever we are, people can't know about it." I say.

"I don't want you to be a secret." He says.

"I have to be and i'm okay with it." I reassure him.

"What are we Olivia?" He asks.

"I don't think we can be anything, Anthony. Look, I love you but as of now we aren't anything." I say.

"I want you to be mine and I want to be yours. Look at me in the eye and tell me that we aren't anything. All that we've been through together.." He says.

"You drive me crazy, Anthony." I say while biting my lip.

"Come here." He says and I go and sit on his lap. He kisses me slowly and soft and grabs my hair. He pulls away from me and says, "I'm gonna go tell Rose that things aren't working out."

"Drop me off at my car first?" I ask. He nods and we head down to his car.

[Anthony's POV]

After I drop Olivia off at her car I begin to drive to Rose's apartment. My heart is racing knowing that I am about to break things off and she will think it's all for no reason.

I arrive at her building and knock on the door. She answers and lights up when she sees me.

"Hey baby!" She says and kisses me.

"Can we talk?" I ask. She nods and we sit down on her couch.

"Look, there's no easy way to say this so i'm just gonna do it. I can't be with you, Rose." I say after sitting in silence.

"What?" She says, glaring at me.

"I just.. I've been in love with someone for a long time and it's not fair for me to be with you when you could be someone who can fully love you." I explain.

"It's that bitch, Olivia isn't it? The one you always hang out with. Do you think i'm stupid, Anthony?" She says angrily.

"What? No! I-" I begin.

"Save it. If you break up with me I'm telling everyone that you are seducing a minor." She says.

"You wouldn't." I test.

"Oh please.. You are staying with me and you will forget about her. If you even try to have a relationship with her, I'm telling everyone." She says with an evil grin. "Now call her and tell her that you no longer want to see her."

I can't let Olivia be hurt by this woman, I have no choice but to stay with Rose to protect her. I pull out my phone and call her.

"Speaker." Rose demands and I put the call on speaker.

"Miss me already?" Olivia answers.

"Olivia.. I talked with Rose and I want to stay with her. With her I can actually go on dates and be public with our relationship. I love her, not you." I say.

"Anthony, what are you saying?" She says.

"We are done." I say and hang up the phone.

"Good." Rose says with a smile. "Now how about you take me out for lunch?"
