The Best Man novel Chapter 51

"Not at all. It actually looks really good on you"

"I thought so too", she smiled a little before it faded away slowly on her face, and we locked eyes for the longest time, and she laughed a little, breaking our contact to wipe her tears off

"Is it weird that I feel like nothing else in the world that can hurt me when I'm with you?"

"Why do you say that?", I was intrigued to know as much as I could find out about how she really felt about me

"I just feel like I'm in one of the safest places ever, and I can't fear anything, all that is because of I'm with you"

She had no idea how happy that made me feel, for once she was actually open about her emotions and I felt appreciated

"That's a good thing, right?"

Her lips turned up in a smile. "Yeah, it is a good thing"

"Can I tell you something?", I asked, pulling her down to sit on my lap, and she nodded her head

"I'm getting addicted to you too", I trailed my finger on her jawline and she smiled, resting her forehead against mine before wrapping her arms around me and hugged me

"I'm really sorry about how I reacted when you told me how you felt about me and about what I said at the club earlier, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings", she said quietly during our hug

"It's okay", I ran my hands up and down her body, massaging her back gently, and she soon fell asleep. After tugging her under the covers, I placed a kiss on her forehead and she stirred a little in her sleep before breathing softly again.

"Sweet dreams, Bella"

Olivia's POV

Saturday

After our paintball game that afternoon, we decided to go eat lunch at the nearest restaurant for because we were beyond starving. You could swear we all didn't have breakfast that morning or something because of all that running and being shot at the field, our energy levels were at zero...including the fact that were all were nursing mild hangovers.

"I think we're going to join you girls for those massages after this, my body's so stiff I think I'm turning into concrete or something", Kevin stretched out his arms as we finished with our meal

"Oh, in that case I could come back later", he was about to turn to the door, but I stopped him

"No, it's fine. I'm only meeting her in about 15 minutes, so we can talk", I said, and he nodded his head, walking past me to go sit on the bed and pat the space next to him so that I joined him and I did.

"I feel like you and I should talk, especially now after what happened last night", he stated, brushing his hands nervously on his thighs and I looked at him, confused at what he just said

"What happened last night?", I questioned, and he frowned, staring blankly at me before clearing his throat

"You don't remember?", he prompted and I confusedly shook my head at him

"Last night, here in your room....", he trailed off, hinting at me, but I continued with the confused state, now tilting my head at him, and he started to blink at me, joining in the confusion

"You really don't remember?", he asked again, the look on his face getting funnier and funnier. It was really priceless, I couldn't help the smile that was slowly appearing on my face and he noticed.

"You're playing with me, aren't you?"
