I tightened my hold around her waist and pressed my cheek against her temple, "You're doing so good, Livi. See? I told you that you can do it!"

I noticed her smile after my praise and my heart warmed, realizing I was doing a good job at distracting her from the fact that she was only inches away from the stove.

I breathed in the scent of her hair- like I always do when I'm near her... because I'm a creep like that and I've been fucking fantasizing about it since sophomore year.

"Do I flip it now?" She asked and I chuckled.

"You don't flip a sunny side up egg, baby," I kissed her cheek because I simply can.

"Oh, right. I knew that." She totally didn't know that but I just hummed in response, trying my best to hide my smile.

"Alright, that's enough. Do you wanna be the one to turn it off?" I asked softly.

She turned her head to get a view of my side profile and I noticed her gulp. The thing about gas stoves is, when you turn them off while they're on low heat, the fire would slightly rise for a split second before going off.

I watched her take a step back and breathe, muttering something under her breath before making sure I wasn't close to the stove either and quickly turning it off, squealing, and jumping back immediately after doing it.

I couldn't help but crack up a bit at that, causing her to slap my arm with a spatula. "Sorry," I was still holding back more laugh.

"I hate you."

I love you.

So fucking much that my balls hurt.

She took a few steps towards the stove and I watched as she looked down, staring down at the pan with a scrunched-up face. I wanted to squeeze her cheeks from how adorable she looked doing that.

"What's wrong?" I asked. walking over to where she was standing in front of the stove.

"That's a chicken's baby," She parted her lips, not taking her eyes off of the sunny side up eggs.

I looked down at the eggs and stared, tilting my head to the side, "It is."

We kept staring at it for a minute before I spoke, "Still looks delicious though,"

Olivia nodded her head, "Wanna eat it?"

"Fuck yeah," I breathed.

She nodded her head and scooped the eggs onto a plate before setting the plate down over the table and waiting for me to take a seat with her.

I grabbed two forks and the pack of toast and sat down beside her, pulling her chair closer to mine so our hips were touching because I'm a clingy bitch like that.

We talked about random stuff as we peacefully ate for a few minutes before I remembered I had to send my essay to Mr. Kennedy in an hour. I groaned and let my head fall against the table, banging it.

"What's wrong?" Olivia furrowed her eyebrows, confused.

I let out a grunt and gently grabbed her wrist, standing up and dragging her towards the sink so we could wash our hands. After we were done, I led her towards my room while she stayed silent, not questioning my actions.

I closed the door behind us once we reached the room and sat down behind my desk, pulling Olivia to my lap so she was straddling me. "I need to send an email. I'll be quick, I promise." I pressed my lips to her temple and opened my laptop's screen.

She didn't say anything and just rested her head against my bare shoulder as I began to type the rest of my essay.

I smiled when I felt her soft fingers begin to stroke my hair moments later and I leaned my head further against her hand. I sighed in content as she continued to play with my hair while I typed on my laptop.

A few minutes passed and I managed to write three more paragraphs before I suddenly froze in my seat, my fingers stopping their movement over the keyboard as I felt Olivia's fingers lightly graze my bare chest.

I looked down at her and saw her forehead pressed against my shoulder as she looked down at my chest, still grazing it with her fingers.

I averted my gaze back to the screen and was about to continue writing when I felt her trail her hands all the way down to my stomach, causing butterflies to erupt right beneath her touch. I suddenly just wanted to throw her over my bed and kiss the living daylights out of her.

I stole a glimpse at her again and noticed her cheeks begin to turn into a bright shade of red while she stared at my abs. She looked like she was having an internal conversation with herself.

I looked back at the screen the same time I felt her poke my abs, letting a giggle escape her mouth before she quickly pursed her lips, stopping any other chuckles from coming out.

I bit my lip to suppress my own chuckle and forced myself to focus on the screen so I could finish the last paragraph quickly while Olivia just continued to poke my abs.

I worry about her sometimes.

I quickly typed the last few words while my stomach continued fluttering at the feeling of her touch against my bare skin and I held in a breath right before copying the essay and pasting it to my email account.

I pressed the enter key over my keyboard, sending the email before quickly shutting my screen and dropping my hands to Livi's waist. A smirk appeared on my face as I stood up, picking her up in a quick motion and taking quick steps towards my bed right before throwing her over it.

She chuckled most adorably as her body bounced a few times over my mattress. I smiled and climbed the bed so I could hover over her, my arms supporting my weight above her. I stared down at her face with an even bigger smile and didn't hesitate to press my lips against her giggling ones.

My smile didn't fade as my lips worked against hers and neither did her chuckles. She dug her fingers into my hair as I kissed her harder while her chuckles slowly began to die down so she could kiss me back properly.

I felt one of her hands leave my hair and slowly slide down my back. I was quick to flex my muscles there, just so I could impress her.

I lightly bit her bottom lip, making her automatically part her lips for me. My tongue brushed against the back of hers while she held onto my back and tugged at my hair with her other hand. I groaned into her mouth. Fuck, I loved it when she did that.

My eyebrows shot up in amusement when I suddenly felt her warp her thigh around my waist and attempt to roll us over so she was on top. I held back a grin and let her do whatever she wanted to do, rolling my body for her since it seemed like I was a bit too heavy for her.

She straddled my waist and pressed her thighs against me to balance herself. She looked down at me with intensity burning in her beautiful eyes and I had to hold back a smile at how gorgeous she was.

My heart pounded once she started leaning in. Although I was kissing her seconds ago, my body still reacted in a strange fucking way knowing her lips were so close to touching mine again and it felt like I was about to have my first kiss with her all over again.

She kept leaning down slowly and I couldn't wait any longer as I quickly lifted my head and connected our lips. She smiled against my lips like the cute thing she was and my hands shot up to her waist, gripping it.

She kept leaning in until my head was forced to rest back against the bed while she tried her best to dominate the kiss, I humored her for a minute before I decided to suddenly flip us over so that I was back on top.

She let out a squeal that brought a playful smile to my face and I buried my face in her neck, kissing it and sucking the skin in between her shoulder and neck. She sucked in her bottom lip to suppress any sounds while my lips made their way lower down, reaching her collarbone.

She dug her fingers in my hair again and pulled my face back towards hers so I could work my lips back over her own soft pair.

We kept kissing and panting into each other's mouths for a bit longer before I lifted my body a bit over hers using my arms and moved back, so my face was directly in front of her stomach, which was covered by the thin material of her shirt.

I looked up at her as my lips barely touched her shirt and I noticed her shudder from the way I was gazing at her. I held back a grin and softly pressed my lips over her shirt, right beside her belly button before catching the hem of it with my teeth and lifting the shirt just a little so a few inches of her stomach were exposed to me.

I noticed her suck in a breath, making her stomach flatten, but I paid no mind to it, thinking it was just because of her excitement.

I didn't avert my eyes from her hazel ones as I kissed the soft skin of her cute belly, right below her belly button before dragging them a bit upwards and kissing her skin again, then again, and again- until my nose was brushing against where I had lifted her shirt.

I kissed her tummy one more time before turning my head and resting my cheek against it, knowing she still wasn't ready for anything too sensual. I felt her let out a breath beneath me and I smiled when I felt her begin to brush my hair with her fingers.

I wrapped my arms around her so I was hugging her lower body while she continued to play with my hair. I stuffed my cheek further into her bare skin and covered both my head and her stomach with her baggy shirt, making her chuckle beneath me.

With her shirt and skin close to either side of my nose, I felt like I was swimming in her faint delicious scent, making me wanna go back to kissing her tummy all over again. She lightly began to graze the tips of her fingers up and down over my bare back and I shuddered, loving the feeling so damn much.

I felt like a baby who was being lulled to sleep, even though I wasn't even close to being tired since we'd literally just woken up an hour ago. I guess it was simply the way that she calmed all my nerves down that had me feeling like an infant.

We stayed in the position with me smiling beneath her shirt and against her skin until I felt like I needed more oxygen. Before deciding to pull back just yet, I turned my face so the tip of my nose was back to touching her skin and I parted my lips, bringing them to her stomach and blowing raspberries so that it would make farting sounds.

Livi started shaking from laughter beneath me from the ticklish feeling and it just made me blow even harder, making the farting noises come out louder while my lips vibrated against her skin.

She laughed harder, "S-stop! Blake, it tickles!" She brought her hands to my shoulders and tried to push me away with all the strength that she's got. I chuckled and pulled back, so my face was no longer stuffed underneath her shirt, and I looked up at her.

Her cheeks were lifted in the cutest way ever as she recovered from her laughing fit, smiling widely. "Your hair got messy," She ran her fingers through it to fix it while I lifted my body and moved it back up towards her.

I kissed her lips and sighed against them. Sixteen-year-old me is fucking squealing like a giddy school girl right now.

♛

"Blake hurry the fuck up!" I heard Cole yell from the other side of the bathroom door.

I rolled my eyes and continued rinsing my hair, "Shut the fuck up and wait. Why can't you just shower in your own bathroom?"

"The water's cold as fuck there today- I don't know why."

I glanced at the goosebumps all over my body then continued rinsing my hair, "Well it's cold as fuck in here too..."

"You're shitting me!" Cole yelled and I chuckled. I was freezing cold at the moment, but that's only because I chose to turn the handle all the way to the right from the beginning because... yeah.

"Kidding- the hot water works just fine. Can you fuck off now?"I drew circles over my chest with the shampoo that was streaming down from my head.

"Only if you want me to, baby."

"Cole?" I threw my head back.

"Yeah?"

"Get stuffed,"

"Yessir," And he left.

I sighed and took a step forward so that I was directly underneath the showerhead. I let the icy water wash out all the shampoo from my hair and body before turning it off and grabbing a towel.

I dried my chest off with it first and wrapped it around my hips, shaking my head to shake the droplets of water off with it and stepping out of the shower to leave the bathroom.

I could hear Livi and Cole's voices coming from the living room as I searched for a pair of sweats and a hoodie to wear. I quickly slipped into them and grabbed the towel with me as I left the room so I could dry my hair off with it.

As I walked down the hallway and got closer and closer to the living room, I realized that Cole and Livi's voices were getting lower by the second before they suddenly stopped talking when I arrived.

I paid no mind to it and my gaze instantly averted to Olivia's cute frame sitting on the couch with her knees pulled to her chest.

"Finally." Cole let out a breath, "So how was it?" He asked as I walked over to where Olivia was seated and kissed her head, sitting down beside her and pulling her body close to mine.

"How was what?" I asked, playing with a lock of Livi's hair.

"Fucking the toilet monster..."

"What?" I could feel Olivia's body shaking against mine from her attempt at suppressing her chuckles.

"Why else would you take that fucking long?" I rolled my eyes at him and he stood up.

"You could've just used Livi's bathroom..." I said. He averted his eyes to Olivia and they both locked gazes, sharing a weird look. Olivia grinned while Cole's eyes widened and he pointed a finger at her.

"Don't-"

"He's scared of-"

"DON'T!" Cole cut her off and I cocked my head to the side.

"No, please do, Muffin." I looked down at her and she sucked her bottom lip into her mouth to prevent any noises from escaping her mouth.

"Ollie..." Cole sounded like he was warning her.

She looked back at him and narrowed her eyes, he squinted his eyes back at her with his index finger still pointed at her.

They continued to stare at each other intensely, having a silent conversation for a few more seconds before Livi nodded her head and bit back a smile, resting her head back against the couch.

"Promise?" Cole said to her.

"Promise," She was still holding back a smile. I'm so confused.

Cole gave her one last warning look and nodded his head, turning around. "I'm gonna hit the shower now,"

"M'kay," Olivia replied before Cole left the room.

I looked down at Olivia and rose an eyebrow, "What was that?"

"Hmm?" She was still struggling to stop her lips from tugging upward.

I stared at her for a minute while she stared back and I couldn't help but chuckle at how pink her face was getting underneath my gaze. "Why are you holding your breath,"

She simply shook her head and I placed my hands underneath her armpits, quickly placing her over my lap so that she was straddling me. "You're not gonna tell me what you two were having a silent conversation about?"

She shook her head again, causing a curtain of hair to cover the side of her face. I sighed and shrugged it off, not really caring about it anyway. I focused on Livi and my fingers subconsciously brushed the locks of hair away from her face.

A thought crossed my mind as I did that, "We didn't try a new hairstyle today," I twirled a lock between my fingers.

"I wanna leave it down today, I don't feel like having anything done with it," She brushed my wet hair away from my forehead too.

I nodded my head and smiled at her, "Mkay, if that's what you want." I'm not gonna lie, her hair did look pretty this way- really pretty, actually. I only hated when it was covering half of her features.

I paused when I heard her stomach growl underneath me and I placed my hands over her waist, standing up and flipping her over my shoulder before heading towards the kitchen while she continuously slapped my back.

She went still and silent for a few seconds before I felt her poke my butt and I grinned, lightly slapping hers. She shrieked and wiggled over my shoulder and I finally set her down over the kitchen counter after reaching it.

I looked at her face and saw that it was a bit flushed, just how I expected it to be. I chuckled and she slightly glared at me.

I leaned in to grab the toast pack from the shelf behind her and I'm guessing she thought I was leaning in for a kiss because she brought her face closer to mine too.

I smiled and pecked her lips twice, grabbing the toast from behind her and then turning to pull the cheese out of the fridge.

She swung her legs as she watched me make the sandwiches and I couldn't get over how fucking cute she looked. "You're not humming," She broke the silence a minute later.

"Hmm?"

She smiled. "You usually hum when you're making something in the kitchen and no one's talking."

I pursed my lips to hide a smile and nodded. My stomach kind of did some shit at the thought of her noticing something about me.

A curtain of hair fell over my top eyelashes for the millionth time as I was making the third sandwich and I held back a sigh of annoyance.

Olivia ran her fingers through the locks to brush them away from my face, "Can I tie it again?" She suddenly asked.

I thought about it for a split second and nodded my head because why not? If she wanted to tie it, who the fuck was I to say no?

Hell, I'd fucking go bald if she asked me to with that cute face.

I stepped in front of her and turned around so that she could tie my hair without having to hop off the counter. I closed my eyes as her fingers stroked my hair, collecting the locks before trying her best to tie most of them.

Many locks escaped the tie because my hair was simply too short for a proper ponytail or but at least the front locks were no longer bothering me.

I turned around and caught her staring at the lock of hair with a smile. I gave her a quick kiss on the tip of her nose and then went back to making the sandwiches.

"Will you start the panini press, please?" I asked her as I finished up the last sandwich.

She hummed in response and started it the same second Cole entered the kitchen, he had a towel in hand as he dried his hair off and shook it in every direction. "The hospital called."

Olivia shot her head towards him and I straightened my back, "And?"

He shook the water off his head one last time, "I gotta go back there tomorrow since my surgery is the day after that," He grunted.

My chest felt kind of tight after I was reminded of the surgery and I breathed, trying my best to keep my mind off of all the risks and complications that could fucking happen in a brain tumor surgery and forcing myself to look at the bright side: the tumor should no longer be there after Saturday, everything will be back to normal.

"Wait it's that soon?" Oliva asked, I took another breath, my stomach was suddenly turning and nausea was washing over me.

"Yuh," He replied and walked over to where I was standing in front of the sandwiches, looking down at them. I took another deep breath while Olivia and Cole made conversation about whatever, I felt like throwing up.

My head hurts.
