Oliver was waiting very near the record store, pulling out his phone to let her know he was there and to take her time. He paced back and forth, adjusting his leather jacket nervously.

Elise was just finishing giving herself a once over when movement at the corner of her eye caught her attention. She turned and despite his back being to her currently and a mask on his face, she recognized Oliver's familiar form pacing back and forth just a few strides away.

"Oppa, do you know when this record shop closed? I was hoping to get the new album from One W1SH." She called at him playfully.

Oliver looked over quickly with an 'oh shit' look before it was obvious he was smiling big from the way his eyes squished in the corners. "Ahhh, they're awful, why would you ever want that?" he called back playfully, jogging over.

“Oh, it’s just that I think one of their members is super handsome and cool.” Elise teased back, her own face crinkling with a grin. “Did I make you wait long?” She asked as Oliver approached.

Oliver shook his head. "No no. I got here early." he admitted with a little flush and laugh.

“Were you that eager to see me?” Elise asked, mostly as a tease, but part of her hoped that he’d answer with an earnest ‘yes’.

"I m-mean... yea-yeah." Oliver admitted with a shy laugh. "I have been excited for this since I asked."

Elise let out a pleased little laugh of her own at Oliver's admission, a flush dusting her cheeks as well.

"Well, me too." She nodded. "Should we go then? Or should we try and find another record shop to look for that new album?" She teased lightly, already reaching out to link her arm with Oliver's.

It had been about two months since Elise and Oliver had started their officially unofficial courtship. Not much had changed from when they were "just friends", but having gone on a handful of dates and becoming comfortable with casual touches and handholding, but Elise didn't feel any pressure to put a label on it, so to speak. She and Oliver were going at their own pace and they were more than comfortable with each other, so she didn't see any reason to rush things. Right now, Oliver was not yet her boyfriend, but he was the only guy she was seeing exclusively, and she was sure that the same went for Oliver. After spending so much time with him, she knew him like the back of her hand and was sure that even without the label that he was only seeing her.

Currently, Elise was rushing campus gates after just having finished up a session in the dance studio run too long. She and Oliver had plans to go out to dinner and see a movie they'd both been wanting to watch, but she hadn't expected her class to run so late. She had taken a hasty shower in the locker room so her hair was damp and frizzing a bit and the only makeup she'd taken time to put on was her mascara and a lip tint, but she hadn't wanted to keep Oliver waiting. It also helped that he had complimented her often enough that she knew he wouldn't mind her messy appearance.

She jogged towards the entry gate, her bag swinging at her side and her dance shoes dangling on the strap and making a clattering noise behind her. Her cheeks were rosie with the bit of exertion as she looked for Oliver.

Oliver was leaning on the wall next to the entry gate, in his usual disguise get up and scrolling lazily through his phone. He knew Elise well by now and because of that, he knew way better than to think he was being stood up. He was positive class had ran over, as his own practice sessions did sometimes too.

Oliver couldn't deny that he had quick and intense feelings for Elise already. He was very happy to take it slow and at their own pace, but Elise was the only one in his life and he hoped someday that'd be for good too.

He had a bundle of flowers in one hand, ironically from a flower shop that would be all too familiar to Elise. He remembered it from her telling him all about it and used it as a cheat to get her favorite flowers.

As she came up on the gate, Elise's face became ten shades brighter when she saw an all too familiar figure standing there waiting. Even if he was dressed in his usual "incognito" attire, Elise would recognize Oliver anywhere.

"Oppa! I'm sorry for keeping you waiting!" She hollered as she drew closer. She didn't slow her pace and threw herself at Oliver with enough force behind it that it was a miracle they both didn't go sprawling. Instead, she hit him with an 'oomph!' followed by laughter.

Oliver smiled when he saw her and quickly shoved his phone in his pocket to try and catch her. He ummphed and laughed, putting an arm around her waist to spin her. "Hey pretty lady!"

Elise let out a little squeal as she firmly wrapped an arm around Oliver's as he gave her a spin. She was laughing and grinning as she was resituated on her feet, blue eyes looking up into Oliver's masked face.

"Have you been here long?" She asked, ever happy to see him.

XVVI · Site Admin Joined: 03 Mar 2015 Posts: 16090

"Nah. Don't matter though, I'd wait all day for that smile." Oliver scoffed affectionately as he tapped her chin gently. "Oh. Tada." He held up the flowers and pulled down his mask to give her a smile in return.

Elise looked to the flowers and smiled even broader, if it was even possible.

"You got me flowers AND I made you wait? I'm a monster." She teased with a laugh as she reached out to take the little bouquet. She pressed her nose to them to take a sniff and then reached up to give Oliver's cheek an affectionate pinch and shake while his mask was still down. "You're too sweet." She cheesed.

While Elise continued to fawn over and tease Oliver, there was a small group of onlookers watching them intently, quietly whispering to each other.

"See I told you that was him!"

"Okay, but who's the girl?"

"She's clearly a girlfriend right? Its not like he has any other family around AND he brought her flowers."

Everyone in the group made noises of agreement before they all shifted, almost as if they were one, and pulled out cameras and phones and the like. They moved closer to where Elise and Tanner stood at the gate until finally someone shot the first photo with a flash.

"Oliver! Oliver, that's you right?" One called.

Another flash.

"Oliver, look over here!" Another called.

Elise jolted at the sudden intrusion of people and camera flashes, but she hardly missed a beat as she grabbed hold of Oliver's mask to pull it back up over his features and turning away herself. She didn't want Oliver's privacy invaded, furthermore, she didn't want the paparazzi to recognize her and who she was related to to get her brothers involved.
