Dangerously

Olivia sat in her hotel room, wearing an oversized hoodie and a pair of jeans, holding her phone in her grasp as she awaited the person to pick up.

"Please, Nathan..." She spoke to the phone, her eyes gleaming once she heard her brother's voice from the other line. "Hey, Lili." Nathan said.

"Oh, Nathan — I'm so happy you answered. How are you?" Olivia asked, feeling relieved after hearing his voice. "I'm actually great!" Nathan said from the other line, causing Olivia to raise her eyebrow.

"Really?" She asked in disbelief.

"Uh-huh, I'm going out later with my friends." He told her, sounding proud.

"Oh, bro, that's amazing." Olivia cooed, sounding as if she were about to cry. "Yeah. I figured it's been long enough." Nathan mumbled from the line.

Olivia walked around her hotel room whilst she held the phone to her ear. "Yeah, you're right. I'm glad you're feeling better, are mom and Kimberly okay?" She asks.

Nathan hummed, "They're doing okay, yeah. Mom's cleaning around and Kim's helping her." He informed her.

"That's fantastic, Nate. I'm really, really glad to hear that." She laughed softly, causing Nathan to join her.

"How are you doing? How's life?" Asked Nathan.

"It's going good, I'm cleaning the studio up." She told him, sitting back down on her bed.

"Cool. Any plans for later?"
Nathan asked.

"Yeah, I'm meeting Charlie." She chuckled in amusement.

"Oh, tell him I said hi." Nathan said in a singing voice.

"Haha! Will do, little bro. Listen, I'll call you later, okay? Send my love to mom and Kimberly." She told him.

"Will do, sis." Nathan replied.

"Love you, Nathan. Bye."

"Love you too. Bye, Olivia."

After hanging up the phone, Olivia sighed a sigh of content. 'I'm so grateful.' She thought to herself, and before sinking deeper into her thoughts, she was interrupted by a knock on her door.

Olivia slowly got up, and knew the person she was expecting was behind that very door. As she swiftly opened it, a very familiar face smiled brightly.

"Lili!"
Charlie exclaimed,
causing Olivia to grin happily. "Chunky spunky monkey!" She exclaimed back, and pulled him into a warm hug.

Charlie groaned, however, hugged back. "Oh no, why did I decide to visit you?" He asked jokingly.

Olivia chuckled, "Because you can't stand being away from me." She sarcastically winked, allowing him to walk inside her room as she closed the door behind them.

"So, what's good?" Olivia asked excitedly, sitting down beside Charlie on the bed. "A lot of things are good, actually. I'm working on a new album, been performing here and there, and overall, it's just a really cool experience." He said.

"Oh, and I got you these." He pulled a bag of Reese's out of his pocket and grinned sheepishly.

Olivia gasped in delight, "Ah! I am so craving these! Thank you, Charlie!" She gently took the bag from him and hugged it to her chest.

Charlie chuckled, "No problem."

Both the musician and the radio host spent most of the afternoon together, and frankly, it was exactly what Olivia needed.

To rest, and to let go.
