Hey. -_- I just realized that I had my charactar's name as 'Beth' and then I changed it to Nikki randomly on this second page. Just so your not confused, if you noticed, I'll keep it as Nikki. Lol. I keep doing embarressing things on this thread. -_-

EDIT:
YAY! Page three!!! <3

Oliver took a moment to push a strand of her hair behind her ear, whispering very quietly, "Keep your hair out of your face; boys like it better that way. It's much prettier," and turned to the window. He was astounded how easy it was to get her worked up; his keen hearing could tell when her heart started to race or when her breathing picked up. It made him smile. 

He slid out carefully on his stomach, legs first, and grinned at her. "Thank you, Nikki." As soon as he spoke, he let go of the window sill and dropped, landing in a crouch a long ways down. His injured leg burned, but other than that he was fine. Oliver stood, tilting his head back to gaze at her bedroom window longingly. 

Should he wait, and find a way to climb back up again, or should he leave? He found, to his great dismay, that this tiny human made him want to linger. Fine, he thought, pulling out a cigarette. It was slightly crushed, but still usable. He pulled out a lighter, lit his cigarette, and returned it to the pocket it belonged in. It took him a minute to realize he was still standing in her back yard. I'll come back tomorrow at midnight. 

Turning on his heel, he stopped again. What if the Werewolf Hunter was still out there? Was it a Werewolf Hunter? It had to be; who else would know to use silver bullets on him? It was ridiculous. Landing on a final decision, he walked out of her yard, letting himself out through the gate that lead to their front yard. There was nobody in sight, anywhere, just as it had been before he'd gotten himself shot.

Oliver limped slightly all the way home, but he couldn't help but think about tomorrow at midnight, when he'd see Nikki again. He wanted to truely thank her... but how? What would get the little human girl to trust him a little more? He grinned slyly. A gift. Perhaps a necklace. Girls liked necklaces, right? 

Nikki's ear tingled as Oliver's finger gently brushed it to put her hair back. She watched as he left, all of a sudden feeling kind of stupid to force him to leave. Why didn't she just throw him in the closet? She was getting so lonely, being stuck in the house, and she just let someone leave? Yeah, she was an idiot.
She could have stared out that window all night long, longing for him to pop out of nowhere, but her parents were knocking.
Finally, she opened the door. "Sorry. I was changing. Need something?"
Her parents looked around the room, like they were expected something to be out of place. Maybe someone actually being inside, which was true, until now.
"No...We just came to say good night." Nikki nodded, acting nonchalant. Like they were crazy to think anything was out of the ordinary.
"Alright. Well, yeah I better get some sleep. Good night."
They left, and when they did, Nikki closed the door, and threw herself on the bed. It wouldn't kill her to have one night that she didn't brush her teeth, or take a shower. She stared out the window, through it, the sky started getting darker. She had this feeling of lonliness. But she tried to not think it was because Oliver was gone. She smiled, thinking back on what he said before. Just him saying 'Nikki' after he thanked her, made her stomach turn. Something about how close he was before, made her heart act wild. Something about his breath that -

      She stopped herself from thinking like that. She was being to vulnerable. How could she go so low? After meeting him for one day, all of a sudden having this...This attraction? How could she? With that thought in mind, she kept herself from thinking about him. He just lingered in her life for a little while. She was never going to see him again. Until, this whole murder thing blows over atleast.
With that in mind, she closed her eyes and forced herself to sleep, so she wouldn't think about him anymore.

{ YAY. 8D }

Oliver's leg was completely healed now, but he couldn't exactly explain that to Nikki, so he had a bandage wrapped around it anyways. He was outside, in her yard again, gazing up at the stars twinkling in the charcoal sky. It was so beautiful tonight; what a shame it was that all the humans had to miss it because of Riven and him.

Riven. Thinking about him made him bitter, so he thought of something else, something more pleasant. Nikki. Oliver began to scale the large oak tree in her back yard again, only too aware of the small box he had nestled in his sweater pocket. When he reached the highest branch that would hold his weight, he jumped, holding onto the window ledge again like he had yesterday evening.

Only this time, as he slid his hand up the window carefully, he realized it was opening. Why had she left it unlocked? Puzzled, but pleased nonetheless, Oliver inched the window open and slid into her room, silent as a panther. She was sleeping, and oddly enough that soothed his irritated nerves as he closed her window again and locked it. 

Oliver sat on the edge of her bed gently, pushing a strand of hair away from her face again. "Wake up, sleeping beauty," he whispered comically, smiling to himself in the dark. "I hope you missed me."

{ WhatACreep .w. }

OOC:
Yeah...He's a creeper :O HAHA
BIC:
The whole next day, Nikki was lieing in her bed in her room, trying to keep herself busy on a book. But she couldn't help but having her mind fall back on the day before. By the end of the day, her head hurt from resisting, she feel asleep easily.

That is, until she heard a voice, and someone touching her face. She didn't know what it was, but she shooed it away, and turned all the way on her side. (Facing him.) After a second she heard, 'Hope you missed me.'. Was that...
No...It wasn't him.
Couldn't be.
She opened her eyes slowly, and leaned herself on her elbow. "What's going on?" She asked irritably, for some reason in a whisper. Why, two times in a row, someone wakes her up from sleep? She wasn't the happiest when people did that. It was dark, and she rubbed her eyes to see better. "Why did you wake me up?" She asked, a little more irritated. She didn't believe it was Oliver. She wouldn't let herself fall back on those dreams. 

Oliver couldn't help but laugh a little bit at her irritation with him. It was obvious she was tired and wasn't functioning properly yet. "Alright. If you don't want me here then I'll leave again," he threatened, standing up so he could cross his arms over his bare chest. Yes- bare chest. He'd come wearing nothing but some jeans cut off at his knees, a baggy sweater he'd left unzipped so it revealed his athletic torso, and running shoes.

"You know, Nikki, you look like a mess right now. Perhaps I should come back later, and maybe introduce myself to your parents?" he teased, tilting his head to the side slightly. "I woke you up to surprise you and everything, but apparently sleep's more important or something right?" Oliver grinned, running a hand through his hair, messing it up. 

"It's really nice out tonight. Perhaps we should go for a walk... or not, you know, considering it's Winter and rather cold out. You'll freeze your butt off dress liked that, Nikki." He let his eyes wander around her room, disappointed that nothing had really changed. He liked her room, but there wasn't enough blues and purples in it. Blue and purple... his favourite colors, of course. 

Oliver raised one eyebrow at her, unable to hide his smile as he flicked the light on. "Why shouldn't I? Surprises are fun. Well, that and I wanted to give you something as thanks for practically saving my life yesterday." He pulled the box out of his sweater, removing his sweater as he did so. He let it fall to the floor. 

Just for kicks, Oliver got down on one knee in front of her bed and held the small, black velvet box in front of him, like the cliché proposal pose. "Nikki, ever since I've met you I've wanted to do this. I feel like I've know you forever, and I could stare into your eyes until the end of time. We've got a connection nobody can explain, even though I've only known you for a day. You're the most amazing girl I've ever met, and I feel like I could spend the rest of my life with you."

He paused letting his passionately spoken words drift through the air. Standing abruptly, he laughed and tossed the box into her lap. "Just kidding. I made that up: but I did get you a little something-something as a thank you. Open it up."

Inside the box, nestled in white silk, was a silver locket with a blue wolf carved on the outside strung on a silver chain. He hadn't spent much on it; actually, he'd stolen in and forced the jeweler to engrave the wolf in blue. Oliver smiled as he waited for her to open the box, hoping that his false speech had got her worked up. 

OOC:
Alright. He's a jerk. He fooled me with the false speech and I was the one worked up. Yeah. JERK... D|
BIC:
Oliver Gray was the best liar in this town. He knew how to make someone think something, then completely change the mood. Like he did just now.
Inside, Nikki was screaming with joy. No one ever said anything like he had before. He showed another good quality. Charm.
That reminded her of when he even called himself charming when they first met. Hey, for once maybe he was right. She was just about to show a smile at him when
BAM
She saw him laugh and get up, throwing the box in her lap. Her face flustered, and she couldn't help but do her habit when she was really mad. She always found herself licking her upper teeth to calm her down, and throwing or punching something. Before opening it, she grabbed a pillow and threw it at him as hard as she could - which really wasn't that hard. It was a pillow, what was it going to do, fluff him to death? Then she mumbled through her teeth angrily, "Don't ever do that again..." She was more gullible then she wished to be.
She glared at him for a moment, then brushed it off -on the outside, and started acting like she didn't care. She still felt stupid for actually believing and enjoying what he was saying before, and she'll mentally punish herself later for being so stupid.
When she opened the box, she was quite speechless. She was scared to ask how much he bought for this, because, with the things the way they were, it would be personal on how he got it. She didn't want him getting upset again. "Wow...Thanks. I like it." She said, looking up at him, faking a smile. She still hated him for messing with her the way he did. He had a way of messing with her heart, whenever he felt like it. And she let him. She had to stop being so vulnerable. 

{ LMAO! I was hoping you'd get worked up. x3 Sorry for crashing your hopes, though. x3 }

"Don't ever do what again?" Oliver said, his smile widening so it showed his teeth as he caught the pillow like an expert. "Did I upset little Nikki? Get you all excited?" He winked, obviously pleased with himself that he'd gotten her upset enough to throw something at him. It was almost an achievement. 

Oliver tossed the pillow back, making sure it landed on the bed next to her. She didn't seem very happy when he opened her gift, so he sat down next to her and examined her face closely. "What's wrong with it? You said you liked blue... so I got the wolf done in blue. I can fix it if you want. Or is it just the whole thing altogether?" His eyes flickered over her body, reading her like an open book. Perhaps it wasn't the gift, but his little speech still had her upset. He didn't really care.

"You know, I really think we should go for a walk. Your room gets kind of boring if we're not doing anything in it..." Oliver said airily, winking at her. 

OOC:
It really did DD:... Haha!
Oh, and sorry this is a major fail. I tend not to write as much, and get writers block easily at night DDD:...
BIC:
Nikki smiled at Oliver as he thought she didn't like the necklace. "No. I actually really like it. You were right, Blue's my favorite." She couldn't help but smile, but made sure to hide it, by making an excuse to get off the bed to put the box on her vanity. When she looked his way again, and he winked at her, her stomach dropped to her feet, and she was pretty sure her heart broke a rib from it's beating faster. No. She wasn't going to let him do that to her anymore, but she couldn't control it either.It wasn't fair. She remembered telling herself not to be vulnerable anymore, so she stayed where she was, and didn't sit back down next to him. Being next to him, made her act differently. So, she shrugged her shoulders and said, "I don't think my parents would like me going out at night...With a guy. Especially with dangerous people out there? Why do you think I stay inside all day and night? I'm not risking it." She shrugged again, and didn't dare to move.

{ Sorry. x3 I spent all today with Kevin.... *blushes* }

"Have you never heard that what Mommy doesn't know can't hurt her?" Oliver purred seductively, following her over so he could play with a strand of her hair as if he were interested in it. "She doesn't know there's a boy in your room... so why can't you and that boy go somewhere else? I'm sure she'd rather that than for us to grow bored and find... other things to do."

He grew serious then, searching her eyes carefully. "There's nobody dangerous out there anymore, trust me. And even if there was I'm pretty sure I'm capable of protecting you." He was telling the truth; there was nobody dangerous outside. He was standing in the room with her. But, instead of shedding some light on the situation he stayed quiet which was quite unlike him. Oliver smiled humorlessly. "Why? Don't you trust me?"

OOC:
Hmm...Who's Kevin? :DD
BIC:
Nikki frowned and backed away one step, with a shaking hand, brushed his hand away from her. Just that little brush, skin to skin, made that spot tingle. How she hated that feeling, yet loved it at the same time.
"Your impiging on my space." (<---I just had to take that line from Hush Hush <3 It's my favorite part :D) Nikki said, as she backed away a little more. NOT vulnerable was going to be her forte by the end of this night. She felt as if she'd hurl, by how much her stomach turned at him. This never happened to her before, not even with Eddie. She swallowed nervously before adding,
"And I tell my mother everything. I can't go through life disobeying her...I feel too guilty for keeping you behind her back. You here is enough." She said, wondering why it was so easy to speak how she was feeling with him. She guessed he got people pouring their heart out to him all the time, with those eyes of his.
"It's not that I..." She awkwardly looked away. She didn't want to hurt him and say she didn't trust him, but she didn't think she did just yet. "I mean, trusting is a big issue at the moment..." She tried to find the right words and finally gave up.
"You know what? Fine. Let's go." She brushed passed him, and quickly pulled a T-shirt over her cami, and grabbed a jacket. Then stared back at him, irritated. "But, if my mother sees that I'm gone..." She didn't know how to end the threat. Since...Nothing didn't really scare him about her. Especially her pillow throwing. That didn't have him 'shaking in his boots'.

OOC:
I got really upset when you didn't get on when I was on last night DD:
I replied then was like "WHERE'S MOO!? DDD:"
I'm going on vacation tomarrow so I won't be able to reply until friday.
PLEAAAASE keep bumping this :D
But I will right now........




BUMPPPPP! <3

{ Alright. I can do that. }
{ Kevin's a boy... ;) }
{ and alright. D: I'm sorry for not being on. </3 }

Oliver smiled victoriously, cold blue eyes flickering to the window. "There you go darling. You'll never go anywhere in life if you don't take risks." He leaned over and unlocked it, throwing it open with an easy flick of his wrist. "I do have one question though... why did you leave your window unlocked tonight? Even with the so-called dangerous people lurking about?"

Shrugging, he started to slid out of the window backwards on his stomach again, surprised to feel snowflakes fall on his back, melting instantly. Inching his way out until he was hanging by his elbows, he smiled at Nikki. "You jump out after me, and I'll catch you. Unless you want to take your chances sneaking out of the front door... and end up caught by your Mommy and Daddy."

Then he let go. Oliver landed in a crouch, the snow on the grond soaking his knees. Snow? It had only been snowing lightly when he'd left his house. Perhaps it had started to blizzard when he'd been inside with Nikki. It didn't matter; it sparkled nicely in the moonlight and looked quite romantic. He knew she'd like that a little bit too much.

Straightening so he could stare at the window, Oliver held out his arms, waiting for her to fall into them. 

Nikki was about to stop him, and say that she was afraid of hieghts. That she actually planned to go out the front door. Then, he brought up the fact that her parents could wake up. She wouldn't know how to lie to them. She could never lie to them.
She stared out the window, down at him. Feeling as if she might hurl.
"Uhh..." She said, trying to stall from going down. She noticed it started snowing, but didn't bother getting anything else other then flipflops on her feet. Oh well, she'll live. She looked down, one more time at Oliver before doing what he did. But, much, much slower. "I can't do this..." She mumbled to herself, yet kept going out of the window.
After one more thought of how she was going to die right now, she let go, and dropped right into Oliver. With everything in her still shaking from being so scared for that little while, her instinct was to hold on tight to his neck the second she landed ontop of him. Finally realizing she wasn't dead, and that she might be choking him by how tight she was holding him, she slowly let go, and mumbled, "Sorry..." Before wiggling her legs so she can get out of his grip.

Hmmm..A boy you liiiiiiike? <3
LOL it's alright ;)
