Six weeks later

Ollie

The first few weeks of college passed in a blur of lectures orientations names and faces that I forgot seconds after being told. It had succeeded in taking my mind off seb as we still saw each other daily as we were living a few doors from each other. And we still hung out every few days but it was never alone it was more a hey were going to go get a beer come with. In contrast I missed Ella like hell, to the point that it felt like a physical pain. I just wanted to kiss her hold her this was the longest I'd been away from her since we met and I was feeling it. Seb of course found it hilarious but there were lots of fellow love lorn students to mingle with.

I picked up my phone as it buzzed. I smiled as I saw Ella's name.

"hey." just hearing her voice made my heart beat faster,

"hey baby."

"are you OK?"

"no I miss you." I moaned,

"I know I miss you too but it won't be long till Christmas and then I'm all yours." I purred at the thought ,

"promise?" she giggled,

"how's seb?"

"he's good. Have you not called him?" I asked a little confused they had always been so close.

" no I have but you seb he's shit at returning calls. Are you alone?"

"why?" I asked suspicious, she sighed,

"it's been a while I'm in my room all alone and guess what I'm wearing."

"Ella." I squeaked,

"it's your favourite thing for me wear."

"that's nothing."

"correct."

"Ella I'm in the library." she chuckled

"that's not funny."

"OK ill stop."

"doesn't matter now It will be ages before I can work again." she chuckled again.

"I could give you half an hour to get home and I could ring you back and help you sort things out." I groaned " I wish babes but I have to go meet seb."

"oh did you hear the news?"

"what?"

" he's got a boyfriend."

"he's what?"I snapped

"seb he's got a boyfriend sort of apparently so you haven't met him you need to go check him out for me."

"what's him name?"I snarled gritting my teeth.

"I don't know."

"well where did he meet him when whats going on with them when did you speak to him about it."

"why does it matter?"

"just." I didn't say anymore I didn't know what to say. What was I supposed to say my stomach felt like it was suddenly full of molten lava. That I wanted to go punch something. I was suddenly equal parts angry and sad. That I felt like someone had punched me in the gut. Like a fist was twisting my stomach violently. It wasn't rocket science and I knew what it was but I couldn't admit it. I was jealous. Waaay more than I should be.

"ollie are you OK."

"I'm fine I just realised I've gotta get somewhere."

"oh." she sounded wrong footed, "OK baby ill call you tomorrow."

"OK"

"I love you baby."

"I love you too so much." I said grabbing my books together shoving them roughly into my bag.

Seb

I turned into my corridor my mind consentrated on trying to fish the keys to my room out of my bag. As I found them I lifted my eyes and frowned ollie was sat on the floor leaning on the door.

"ollie."

"hey."

"have you been drinking?" he smiled,

"yep."

"it's six thirty."

"the joys of higher education." he smiled stupidly.

"you dont drink."

"education I'm learning." I sighed,

"OK let's try something else why are you here?"

"do you have a boyfriend?"

"ooook. Not a conversation for the hallway." I said gripping his hand and pulling him to his feet. "in." he sat heavily on the bed. I stayed on my feet leaning against the wall not trusting myself any closer to him. "Ella told you."

"why didn't you?"

"your not a fucking idiot ollie don't act like one. Why the fuck do you think?"

"your supposed to be my best mate."

"yeah well things have changed haven't they."

"what that's my fault?"

"what you think it's mine? Why the fuck are you drinking because I have a boyfriend."

"I wasn't I came to speak you you weren't here. I was trying to planing what I wanted to say and I got stressed and you don't like the cutting so..." he trailed off.

"don't drink." I said gently sitting next to him, "your an ass when you drink. Why are you drinking ollie?" I said softly,

"you know"

"well I need you to say it."

"you know,"

"yeah I do." I whispered my eyes locked on his, "but I want you to say it."

"because." he sighed, " because I don't want you to have a boyfriend. I... I want you." our lips were instantly locked there was no surprise, hesitation or restraint here. He had finally admitted he wanted me and I didn't fucking care if I had a new boyfriend it was ollie and of course I wanted him I alway had. I pushed him back on the bed he followed this direction his hands slipping into my hair gripping it tightly.
