TAKE ALL OF ME

LOIS' POV

I was undoubtedly speechless. What was Oliver saying? What did he mean when he said he had always loved me? I was emotionally drained, and really wouldn't appreciate him toiling with my mind.

"Oliver, what are you saying?"

"I have a confession to make" He replied looking so serious, he was certainly not joking. He pulled me towards the bed, and asked me to seat. He squatted before me, making me look down to his face.

"Oliver what's going on?" I asked

"I have always had feelings for you Lois. From the start, it has always been you and nobody else. I know you wouldn't believe me, but trust me, I'm being sincere. I never knew how to approach you and tell you without being embarrassed or scared of your rejection"

"Whhat?" I asked confused

"Yes Lois. It even got to an extent, Mom and Aunt Debbie found out. Mom encouraged me to tell you about it when we were still in high school. It was that period Nathan started hitting on you. I started developing that little feeling of anger towards you and tried to get you off my mind.

I tried my very best, but got more smitten and jealous, especially anytime I notice you collecting love letters and cards from your locker. The way you'd smile when you read it made my heart ache.

Finally, I asked Eva to date me, which she agreed to immediately."

"But why? Olly what did it change. You dating Eva was a total no-no from me. It made me so madddd" I replied, still trying to process all I was hearing.

"I know right. Well truth be told, Eva had blonde hair just like yours. She had blue eyes, not as icy as yours though. Most of all you were both pale skinned. I really thought I could replace you with Eva in my heart. But at the end of the day, I learnt it's not just about the looks. It is about personality. You came back from London with your hair dyed black by the way. I know I have messed up in the past, but please give me another chance to make things right and to love you better" He finished, exhaling deeply.

An Hour later

We had spoken for a while, as I tried understanding and taking in the new information I got.

"Sometimes, I'd wish things were lot different, because you are family and I didn't really enjoy quarreling with you. Sometimes I usually felt sorry because I thought this whole enmity between us started when Justin caught your mom's lily"

"Sincerely, I didn't scold Justin because he cut mom's Lily. Infact, that was the least of my worries. I scolded him because I was jealous. I refused acting with you guys that day because Justin was given the role of the husband, which I wanted" He gave a naughty smile.

"Olly, you're so baaad" I laughed in disbelief. "Are serious right now? Seriously Olly? Wow... Like I don't know what to say. Like I'm suprised.

You know, coming to think of it, what really happened to the baseball Matthew gave as a birthday present, on my sweet sixteen?" I asked looking deep into his eyes, daring him to tell a lie.

" Well.. Erm.. I" he cleared his throat. "I stole it from your wardrobe when we came over for Aunt Debbie's birthday party. I was angry he gave you something you really loved"

"Oh my God! Oliver, you'll be the death of me. You were 20 for crying out loud. How could you be so immature?" I playfully screamed, as he covered his face in shame.

"They are so many naughty things I did Lois. If I should start saying it all, I think we wouldn't finish the story in two weeks. I did a whole lot."

"Really? I feel so loved" I cooed.

"I do really love you" He blushed for the very first time. He looked so cute.

"But there's more issue Lois."

"What?" I quickly asked, concerned.

"Eva's Father is a Mafia Lord, here in the US, and he is alre..." I cut him off with a smile.

"I know all of that already. I realize that there's more to every situation than meets the eye. Who would have ever believed that Eva was involved with the Mafia, or that you have harboured feelings for me all this while?" I was really amazed.

"I am also surprised, I could handle it for so long. Maybe It was possible because of Aunt Debbie and Mom's help and encouragement. They were times I'd just lay on my bed and cried my heart out. When mom would come to call me for dinner, I'll pretend to be asleep. But little did I know that she was aware of all that was happening.

There was a night that I cried as usual. That was after you told me you were disgusted by my mere presence. Because, I and Eva had made fun of you that day. I didn't cry because you insulted me, I cried because of the disappointment written on your face that day. I was meant to protect, not join others to fight you.

Mom came to call me for dinner, and I told her I couldn't come because I was having a headache. Indeed, I had real head pains. She asked me to have a bath, while she brought my food to my room. Only when I finished eating, did I notice a folded paper on the tray. I opened it and read through.

'Take a tablet of aspirin and rest. Big boys don't cry'

Inspite of the headache i experienced, I laughed so hard that my head pounded"

"Seriously!? Aunt Ashley is a handfull" I laughed.

"As time went on, I was slowly developing feelings for Eva. She became a huge distraction from you. I was finally over you, or so I thought.

Things went smoothly, until I caught her cheating on me, with none other than Nathan Black.

It hurt so much, because this same guy was the reason I started dating her in the first place. I was trying to get over you, since you'd probably start dating him.

After the whole drama, I completely quit dating. I only had hook ups and random sex, No emotional attachments. I buried myself deep into my studies and then work, after I graduated.

Until the issue of this marriage, I never realized I still had deep feelings for you. Things hadn't changed, you will always be the one, babe."

I was overwhelmed with this feeling of happiness that comes with knowing the person you love, loved you too, and maybe even more. I held his face looking deep into his eyes, as I whispered an 'I love you Olly' before joining my lips with his.

He seemed taken unawares, but fervently replied my kisses with more passionate ones. I smiled in between kisses, when he stood from where he squatted and came hovering above me. I had waited long enough to consummate my marriage. There was no harm doing it now. Out of Love, more importantly.

I noticed he tried breaking off from the kiss. I let go and looked at him.

"What's wrong?"

"Babe, please let's stop here, or I wouldn't be able to control myself" He breathed roughly.

"Yes, that's exactly what I want. Loose control. I'm all yours" I said, trying to fight off my shyness. I'm sure my cheek was red from blushing.

"Wh.. What?" He asked unsure

"Make love to me Olly." He looked suprised. Really suprised.

"Are you sure, babe?" He clarified once again. "It's not a must we'll do it tonight. I'm willing to wait, if you so wish"

"Yeah, I'm sure. I've never been so certain" I flashed him a smile, which he returned with a lazy one, as he's black orbs got a shade darker with lust. The next second he had me pinned to the bed, with his mouth over mine.

"You are all mine" He lowly growled between kisses

"Yes, I'm all yourssss. Take all of me, my love" I replied, feeling so high in the clouds.

My subconscious told me this was going to be a long night, and I agreed.
