Almost Everything

* Olivia's P. O. V. *

I felt his hand strike across my cheek causing a stinging sensation. The momentum sending me tumbling backwards. I hit the floor. Desperately trying to get back up but I couldn't. He proceeded to kick me in my sides. His force sending me tumbling down the stairs. I landed at the bottom with a loud thud. I knew better than to cry out in pain. It would only make things worse. His heavy footsteps echoing in my ears as he walked away from. Leaving me limp and motionless on the cold hard ground.

I woke up, sitting up as fast as I could. Out of breath my eyes sting with tears. My hair stuck to my face from where I was profusely sweating. It's just a dream. I'm fine. An arm draped across my lap. Who the fuck was next to me? I heard a moan from the body next to me.

"What's wrong?" A familiar voice groaned from beside me. His voice deep and hoarse still half asleep. Oh god no. This is happening. How did I let this happen? Alex way laying beside me, Alex fucking Turner my client. The man in which I promised myself to keep my distance from. When I didn't reply he asked again. His voice growing with concern. I didn't know what to say or what to do. I just burst into tears.

"Hey, hey it's okay. It was just a dream." He sat up and cradled me into his chest. Holding me close. It felt so nice to be in someone's tight warm embrace. It's been so long. No Olivia. Shake the thoughts from your head. This isn't happening.

* Alex's P. O. V *

Olivia had been tossing and turning all night. Letting out small whimpers and even a scream from time to time. I tried to wake her but it was no use. She would wake up every so often and burst into tears. I would hold her close and rock her back to sleep. And repeat until 7am the next morning.

When she woke up she looked horrified to see me siting in the chair besides the bed. I decided to sit there because she had taken up the whole of the bed and there was no way I was getting back to sleep with her constantly hitting me in her sleep.

"Morning sleepy head." She blinked a couple of times until she sat up with a start. She pulled the covers up to her chest and huddled her knees to her chest. Rubbing her temples.

"Oh god. I'm so sorry for last night. I should never of asked you to stay. You can go now" Her voice quiet and embarrassed. She fixed her eye on the duvet in front of her.

"It's no problem at all, and I don't have to be nowhere so I can't stay for a bit longer. "

"You sure? I'm fine now."

"Yes I'm sure, let's order some breakfast. I dunno about you but I'm starving!" She laughed a bit, I couldn't help but laugh to. God the girl had such an effect on me.

"That sounds good." We ordered room service and got a feast of a breakfast. It had literally everything. And god it tasted amazing. Like food sent from the gods. We chatted for a bit, laughing at each other. Her smile was beautiful and it pains me to think that somebody broke that smile of hers.

I lay back on the bed. Fit to bursting from the amount of food I had just consumed. Olivia's head adjacent to mine. We both looked up at the ceiling. We lay there in silence, but it was a comfortable one. There was nothing that needed to be said. Olivia fumbled around next to me, until she located her hand and slipped her fingers in mine. She gave them a tight squeeze.

" I can not thank you enough for last night. It was more than unprofessional for me to ask you stay. And you were such a help. So thank you, it won't happen again."

" listen it's fine, we all have our days right? And if I'm right you have a job trying to hide my previous bad days to stop me killing my career right?"

We stayed like this for a little while. Our finger entwined, her touch sending chills down my body. It was peaceful and refreshing to have somebody else's body laying next to mine. I missed that. I'd be lying if I say the nights aren't lonely. Hence me trying o fill them with alcohol, drugs and girls. But no mattered how hard I tried to fill the whole in my life nothing was enough.

We stayed in her hotel room for the rest of the weekend. The rain poured down outside, lashing against the window pane. But it didn't effect us. We stayed in bed and watched old films. We talked and laughed. She seemed to forget all about what happened.

We were arguing over what film to watch next when my phone began to ring. It was Matt. I swiped the screen to accept the call.

"Hello mate. Alright. I'm on my way."
He was basically shouting at me down the phone. Some emergency at his house and needed my help. I looked over at Olivia who was resting her head on my shoulder flicking through the tv channels.

"Hey I've got to go. Sorry Matt needs me for some big emergency." She moaned and got up out of bed. I got up and pulled on my shoes. Chucking my suit jacket on, stuffing my tie in the pocket.

"It's fine. I should get some work done anyway. Thanks for staying with me. It means a lot." I could help but notice the disappointed in her voice.

"It's was my pleasure, we should hang out again some time." I began to make my way to the door. She followed me, even in her pjs she looked beautiful. Gosh this girl was tugging at my heart strings.

"Yeah that would be nice." I stopped walking. She almost walked straight into me. Neither of us moved. Our chests almost touching we were so close. I reached out and tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. Placing my hand on her cheek. I felt her lean into my touch. Her skin so warm and soft. I leaned in closer, her eyes caught in mine. I cupped her face and lightly brushed my lips against hers. Her lips sweet and soft. She pulled back from my touch. Letting my hands fall back to my sides.

"Alex we can't."

"I know, I'm sorry." She stood there looking up at me with those gorgeous green eyes of hers. Her breathing hitched. Her cheeks red. She bite her lip.

"Fuck it" the next thing I know her lips are thrashed against mine. Her hands pulling through my hair. My hands gripping her waste. Our kiss growing deeper and more passionate. As the need grew bigger. I gentle lifted her up on to me. Her leg wrapped around my waste. I carful pushed her up against the wall. I was conscious not to push her to far. I didn't want this to end because I was to greedy. She pulled back from me. Out of breath looking flustered. I let her slide down me carefully placing her on the ground. She took a step back turning away from me.

"You should go." I didn't understand. We just kissed. Why was she so desperate for me to leave?

"Olivia?"

" go Alex!" I knew when I wasn't wanted. I turned and left her standing there with her back to me. What just happened? I got into the elevator and pushed the ground floor button. Thoughts rushing through my head. That was more than a kiss. I know it was, I know she felt it to. I just couldn't pin point what it was.
