Here is the sequel to 'Goodbye Lilly?'
The title is taken from the song 'How it Feels (To Be With You)' by eleventyseven. It's kind of like my LOLIVER theme song.
I can already tell you that this chapter is shorter than usual, but that's because I had to cut off where I did for a reason. You'll see.
Well, I hope you like it. If you do, please review! Hey, I just rhymed. Alright, I'm done. Just read the story.
Oliver and Lilly went out to lunch after a long explanation to the Oken's on why they had found Oliver and Lilly in bed that morning, together. The fact she was wearing his clothes did not help their predicament. As parents do, they got the wrong idea.
They had just escaped a very long and embarrassing 'Protection' talk and were now headed to McDonalds.
Oliver went in to order the food while Lilly stayed outside to call her dad. She followed his in a few minutes later. He was already finished with a Big Mac and was starting on another when she sat down. She shook her head, but smiled.
"Oliver, you are a human waste disposal."
"Why thank you…" she rolled her eyes "Oh come on, you know you love it."
"Sadly, I do", she said as she unwrapped her cheeseburger.
"So, did you talk to your dad?"
"Oliver, don't chew with your mouth open."
"Yes, mother", he said. He swallowed and started to take smaller bites. "But seriously, did you talk to him?"
"Yeah, he's not going to be home tonight, but he said that there's an extra key under the mat. He has some gallery opening or something, but he said he's happy to have me."
"Too bad", he said, almost finished with his second Big Mac.
She glared at him, "What? Would you rather I was homeless?"
"No! I was kind of hoping for another sleepover…"
"Oliver, we haven't even been dating for twenty four hours. I don't think that constitutes third date status. And you know how I stand on pre-marital…things."
"No, Lilly, that is so not what I meant!"
"Then what did you mean?"
"I meant…It was kind of nice waking up with you in my arms."
She stared at him for a few moments.
"What, do I have special sauce on my face or something?" he started wiping at his face, but she took his hand.
"No, well, yes, but that's not why I was staring. I never knew you could say something so sweet."
They stared into each other's eyes before Oliver started tot motion towards his face.
"So, where is this sauce you speak of?"
"Right here", she said before leaning in and placing a gentle kiss on the corner of his mouth.
They both smiled and Oliver whispered, "Can we get out of here? Ronald is starting to scare me."
She laughed and his heart leaped at the sound.
They got up and threw out their trash before climbing into the jeep.
"So, where do you want to go?" Oliver said over the wind that was blowing past them.
"I don't know. Where do you want to go?"
"How about Disneyland?"
"Oliver, we're not going to Disneyland."
"But I want to get my picture taken with Mickey!"
"Oliver, I personally have four pictures of you and Mickey Mouse."
"Yeah, but not with a red hat on!" he said, grabbing a baseball hat from behind his seat.
"Oliver, get it through your thick skull. We. Are. Not. Going. To. Disney. Land."
"Well, excuse me Lillian, but aren't I the one at the wheel?"
"Oliver, I will break up with you if you even start heading in the direction of Disneyland."
"You will not."
"Try me."
He looked at her, trying to figure out if she was bluffing.
"The mall it is."
She smiled because she had won. And she got to go shoe shopping.
"Oliver, does this make me look fat?"
"And so it begins…" he said under his breath.
"What was that?"
"No Lilly, you look beautiful as always."
"Aw, how sweet! But really, how do I look?"
"Fantastic, gorgeous, breathtaking…"
"Oliver…" he had now moved to stand in front of her.
"Lilly, you would look beautiful in a burlap sack…" he look at the price tag hanging from the dress "…which would be a hell of a lot cheaper."
She smiled as he ran one hand along her waist.
"You wanna go get a smoothie?"
His eyes lit up, "Really?"
"Really", he gave her a quick kiss before dragging her toward the food court.
"Oliver!" he stopped and looked at her. "I need to change!"
"Oh, right", he said before sitting down where he was before and tapping his foot in annoyance. He was very impatient when it came to food.
When she emerged from the dressing room, he jumped up and pulled her all the way to the food court.
She sat down at a table while he went to get food.
She looked at the time and saw that it was after five. She should probably be at her dad's by seven, so she could clean up some of the debris she was used to from when she visited her dad. Actually, it had been almost four years since she'd been to her dad's apartment. Usually he came over to see her at her mom's.
Oliver came back to the table with a full tray of food. She looked up at him with wide eyes.
"I said a smoothie; one smoothie."
He handed her a smoothie before sitting down and digging into four tacos, a hamburger, and a large fry. She shook her head and started stealing fries from him.
"Get your own!"
"Oliver, we're dating now. Rule #47: You must share your food."
"Sorry, I forgot. Wait, there are 47 rules?"
"No", he calmed down for a moment. "There are 63, and you will learn every single one."
"Becca never told me about any rules."
"Rule #18: You do not bring up ex's"
"Sorry! Oh, this is going to be so much fun."
He sighed and she patted his hand.
"Deal with it."
They, well, Oliver fished eating and they left to take Lilly to her dad's. The entire time they rode with Oliver's hand on Lilly's knee, both were smiling.
He took her up to her room and kissed her goodbye, making sure she got in safely before he left. She waved at him out the window before throwing her stuff and herself onto the sofa.
She turned on the TV and was watching the latest episode of Zombie High when she heard a knock at the door.
She got up to answer it. Whoever it was, they were now pounding on the wood like a maniac.
"Dad! Wake up! I forgot my key and the one under the mat is gone. Please just let me in."
"Who the hell are you and why are you pounding on my dad's door?" she said. She picked up a hockey stick near the door, ready to defend herself, and opened the door.
In front of her stood a guy who couldn't have been more than two years older than her. He had dirty blonde hair and piercing blue eyes like hers. He was smiling at some joke that was unknown to her.
"Lilly!" he said before hugging her. She froze in shock.
He pulled away and looked at her shocked face.
"You don't know who I am, do you?"
She shook her head, which was all she could manage at the moment.
He held out his hand, "It's good to meet you Lilly. I'm Jeremy. I'm your brother."
And for the first time in her life, Lillian Rose Truscott fainted.
