Olive's POV "I'm sorry ma'am but I don't know you. We are in the middle of something and my date does not appreciate when people interrupt us," he said as his hand reached for mine. "Right Date?" He asked, taking my hand in his and he gently squeezed it. Right date? "Y-Yeah," I finally said. "Chase you don't remember me? I work in the same office as you, remember?" She asked. He looked out the window for a second and suddenly his phone started ringing. "Oh it's time to go," he stood up and offered his hand. I looked at him confusingly as he nodded slightly and I took his hand. "I'm sorry ma'am but I gotta be somewhere else with my date now. If you'll excuse us please?" He asked as the girl took a step back. He took my hand and led me out. As I stepped outside, I felt cold wind rushing to me. My hands directly formed a fist. He looked down and found me squeezing hard on his hand. He stopped. I turned to him and found him taking out his suit and then he wrapped it around me. "Oh you don't have to-" I started. "Trust me, I have to. It's going to be a long night and I don't want you becoming Elsa," he stated as he brushed his hands together. We started walking. "Chase Cavalry huh?" I asked. "Yeah," he said slowly. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier." "What did you do to Richard?" I asked. "I hope we are not gonna find his body lying around somewhere in the bushes, are we?" I joked. "No no. Um... I actually have no idea who Richard is. It's just I saw you at the store today and then again I saw you in the restaurant and I just wanted to talk," he explained. "Well the talking just cost you couple hundred pounds," I stated and he chuckled. "It was worth it," he said as he looked at me. "Well guess so," I said as I looked straight into the dark tunnel. "So where are we headed?" He asked. "How about a walk?" I asked. "Sounds perfect," he smiled at me and I returned a small smile. Both of us walked into the tunnel. ___ "Last one Chase please?" I asked as I chugged down the tequila then licked the salt off my hand. "Olive it's been your-" he started but I already drank the tequila shot and squeezed my nose. "Whoo!" I shouted. "-your 7th one," he finished his sentence but I paid no attention and kept taking shots. I went to the DJ booth and told her to change the song. Suddenly she turned some funky music on. I tried dragging Chase with me to the dance floor but he said he was fine and he stayed there. I gave him my purse and his suit and went straight to the dance floor. I was so drunk that I did not know what was happening. Oh God. I just started dancing in the middle and everyone surrounded me. Chase's POV I stood at the same spot where Olive took the shots. She tried dragging me but I knew one of us had to be sober so I decided not to drink. I looked at Olive who was dancing in the middle of the crowd. She was dancing freely, it seemed like she had nothing to worry about. She looked beautiful. Her long hair looked soft silky, her bangs made her look different from other girls. I loved how she did only a little makeup and her maroon lips made her look more attractive. Her nose and upper cheek had some freckles which actually suited her. I have never seen anyone as beautiful as her. I just looked at her like an idiot, not being able to take my eyes off her. She was the most attractive women in the club. It seemed like she was hiding something back in the restaurant but at this moment she looked as free as a bird. While she was dancing, there was this guy who tried getting closer to her but she switched her place. Again the guy went to her and ran his hands on her arm and she swatted his hand away. I got angry. I walked up to her and inserted my hand on her waist. I smiled as she did the same. "Chase, you're here," she said excitedly as she placed her hands around my neck. She was drunk. Unlike other girls, she understood her surroundings and didn't jump on random guys. "I'll always be here," I smiled at her and then I saw her smile. This time she smiled like no one else. She smiled and I saw how perfect her teeth were. I felt as if she was holding herself back earlier. She pulled me closer as both of us rocked forwards and backwards. After a minute she came a little bit closer and her forehead touched mine. I closed my eyes and breathed in her scent. It smelled so good. She smelled so good. Her face was bright and shiny. She was like a shining star. "I think he left," she whispered against my forehead. "What?" I asked, opening my eyes. "The guy who was touching me, left," she stated as her hands left my neck. I kept on looking at her and my hands were still resting on her waist. Her hands were up and she looked at me. "Will you let go?" She asked. "Oh I'm sorry," I stated and she chuckled as I removed my hands from her waist. She started dancing again. I was about to leave but then I realized that other people were trying to get closer to her. I did not want anyone to take advantage of her while she was drunk so I stood there guarding her. She moved her head around and danced freely. I faced her and didn't let anyone come near her. I smiled to myself knowing how silly she looked when she made weird faces. She stuck her tongue out and curled her fingers near her temples. She looked silly but cute. Oh god I could feel that she was different. I just met her but something about her attracted me towards her. I went a little closer to her because this girl tried moving her out of the dance floor. Nobody can take the spotlight from her. I slid Olive a little closer to the middle and slowly when no one was watching pushed the girl a little to the side. Suddenly my phone rung. I looked at my phone and my friend 'Alaric' was calling me. I looked at my phone in disbelief. "Hello?" I picked it up and pulled it to my ear. "Hey Chase, where are you?" He asked from the other end of the line. "Hey I'm at a club, why?" I asked. "Hello? I can't hear you? Hello?" He asked again. "Wait a minute," I said as I put him on hold. I tapped on Olive's shoulder and she turned around smiling. "I have to take this call, it's urgent so make sure you don't go anywhere ok?" I whispered in her ear and she bobbed her head. I understood that she didn't understand anything I said. I sighed and went outside the club, still keeping an eye on Olive from the glass door of the club. "Hey what's up?" I asked Alaric on the phone. "Hey bro I asked where are you but by all this loud noises it sounds like you are in a club. What are you doing there?" He asked. "Nothing just out on a date," I answered. "A date? Since when and how come I don't know?" He asked. "It's a long story I'll tell you later," I explained. "Ok but how come you didn't come to meet me? You came home today and didn't even come to see your best friend?" He asked. "Sorry I was stuck with Chris and Jeremy in the grocery store and then I had to go and see the office," I explained. "Oh no problem but don't forget to come meet me tomorrow," he stated. "Why don't you come to my office? It'll be helpful and we'll also meet?" I asked as he agreed. I just looked away for a second and Olive was nowhere to be found. I panicked. "I'll call you later," I said over the phone and cut the call. I ran inside and searched for her. I checked every corner of the club but didn't find her. I started panicking. I got out of the club and stood outside. I ran my hands in my hair and sighed deeply. Where did she go? Please be safe Olive. Just as I turned to go back inside, I saw few children playing with Olive on the side of the road. I looked at Olive who was having fun with the children. They looked about preteens and blindfolded Olive while they were circling around her, trying not to get caught. I sighed deeply. Thank god, she's here and safe. I walked up to them and they hushed me. Suddenly Olive cane towards me and held my arm. "I got you," she said excitedly and jumped. She ran her palm on my arm and her face fell. "You aren't a little baby, you are a big baby," she spoke softly as she took the cloth off her eyes and looked at me. "Chase?" She asked as she let go of my hand. "Olive," I spoke as I ran my hand on my jaw. "What are you doing out here?" She asked. "I was trying to find you inside but I didn't see you and here you are," I said. She turned around to the children and smiled. "Well I saw them playing out here so I decided why not play with them," she stated childishly. "Well aren't you suppose to be somewhere else?" She asked. "Right now I am where I am supposed to be," I said as I took her arm and walked away. "We'll see you kids later, bye!" She spoke, enthusiastically. They all waved at us and went to their homes. Both of us walked back to the tunnel and to my car. ___
