Oliver couldn't help but laugh a little bit at her tantrum. It was fairly amusing, and something he liked to watch humans do. It was funny how they thought throwing a fit about something would help the situation. However, seeing as she was not in a laughable mood, he put on a blank expession and shrugged.

"Either you do that... or you break in. So, take your pick." He smriked slightly, tapping on finger on the glass. "I know how to get this baby open... but it might be a little loud." He thought of just yanking it open... his werewolf strength was no match for a simple sliding glass door. But would Nikki get suspicious? He hoped not.

"I need to start coming by during the day..." he grumbled under his breath. 

[[OMG, she should like..Go to his house or something, if you want too xDDD I actually thought that was your plan from the beginning, when you said the door was locked, bahahaha xD ]]

Nikki leaned her back against the door while she looked up at Oliver. No wonder she liked him so much. When she was finding all the flaws in this scenerio - other then him around, which would never be a flaw - he was the one going ahead, and thinking of how to break in.

"Loud enough for my parents to hear?" She asked, as she stood next to him, smirking while thinking:
You need to be coming here much more often...

She would never say such a thing outloud to his face though. Nikki was never the flirty type, and when she tried to be, it completely failed and made her look like a fool. Once she tried with the guy she - used to - like, and completely embarressed herself.
She stopped liking him because Oliver was always in her head now.
Still smiling about her own loving thoughts about Oliver, she tried to be a little more serious about this situation.

"Hm. It would be pretty loud..." Oliver said, as if he were admitting defeat. He glanced at her with one eyebrow raised, but said nothing else about it. He was confused, seeing how she was looking at him. The way her eyes twinkled...

He chuckled. "Maybe I should just kidnap you for a little bit. Head back to my house..." Oliver shrugged, running a hand through his hair, the other pressed against the cool glass. "It's a nice, spacious place. Three bedrooms. You'd like it there."

Smiling he kicked at the snow, revealing dead brown grass underneath. His lips turned up at the corners, but he said nothing and stared at his feet, hair falling in front of his eyes. 

At his request, Nikki's heart leaped. She knew she was walking on air.
"Maybe I should just kidnap you for a little bit..."
Just hearing him start with that, made her already want to jump on his back and tell him to take her. To hold her, and take her there at that moment.
But, she refused to look eager. She wasn't ready for Oliver to know how much she cared about him yet. She'd have to find the perfect timing for all of that.
Nikki couldn't find any courage in her to be able to tell him, ever, though.
 With a nonchalant shrug, she said,
"Uhm..." Acting as though she was thinking it through, she ran a hand through her own hair while looking lovingly at his own. "I guess..." She said, trying to sound like it was no big deal. That she wasn't excited to leave her own house and go to his.
But, it was a big deal. Being at his house. Oliver's house. She trusted him, so she wouldn't have to fear that he would kill her or anything.
 But, his friend...
Gulping at that thought, she started down the cold snow-covered path, that led to the gate to get out of her back yard.
"Yeah, let's just go back to your house. I'm freezing and too impatient to talk to my parents."
That was her excuse, at least, so that he didn't think she was eager about the situation.

Oliver couldn't help but notice her frequent change in emotions, which was making him more and more uneasy. His heartbeat echoed in his ears, his movements feeling slow and mechanical. She was going to find out soon if he wasn't careful. And then, he'd have no choice but to kill her himself. 

Wait.
What was he saying?
Killing Nikki would be wrong... he'd simply have to take her away, and keep her away from the rest of the world. Once a human knew... it was death, solitude, or the bite of fate for them. And he didn't want to take the risk of biting her.

Oliver sighed. This was too much to wrap his mind around. "Do you want a piggy back again?" he asked quietly. His voice sounded tired and emotionless, just as his eyes looked. He was stressing out over Riven's words, especially the ones in another language. 

Nikki was already at the gate when she heard Oliver's voice. Now that she has let herself attracted to him, it seemed everything he did put her through this trance.
For a moment, she looked back at him and just stared. As if she didn't even hear what he said.
He looks so tired... That is probably a sign that I shouldn't be so excited. He'll go right to sleep when he gets to his house. He's probably sick of me.
 Then why did he ask me to come with him, outside? Why did he give me that necklace?
She felt pleasurable shivers up and down her spine as she thought about that. Finally, she realized he asked her something.
"What?" Nikki asked first, eye brows furrowing. Then putting the words that she heard together, she did a knowing nod. "Oh yeah. Right. Would it hurt you? Or are you feeling better from the fall?"She asked as she already went behind him and went on his back.

[[OMG...
Why are you crying yourself to sleep?
RMAIL. ME. ]]

[[BUMP D: ]]

"I'm fine," Oliver said with a forced smile, though he bit down on his tongue as he lifted her up. He trudged through the snow, the ice-cold breeze biting at his bare chest. That made him frown.

"I left my sweater in your room, Nikki," he said as they walked down the street. "What if your parents see it? What if they see you are gone?" He hadn't really thought of that until now. Her parents would probably call the cops... and then what? What would happen to him? 

[You... You didn't say why you were crying. D:
Are you alright? D: ]] 

Wrapping her arms around his kneck, she all of a sudden felt paranoid of her parents. They were going to ruin everything!
Absentmindedly, she layed her forehead on his bare shoulder firmly. Any other time, she would have enjoyed doing that. But, her mind was too busy elsewhere.
"Oh no!" She exclaimed - distraught - with a groan to follow as she closed her eyes. "They'll most likely come into my room when I don't come downstairs...They're annoying like that."
Frowning, she did a defeated sigh and twisted her head to look at his attractive profile.
"Maybe we could... um... Just, hope for the best? Them not check on me in my room?"
Oh, she hoped that was true.

{ My dad kicked me out. o3o }
{ I'm at my Grandma's with my Mom, sister, and other sister, until we can find another place to stay. -.- }

"I guess we could," Oliver purred, amused. He watched the moon, high in the sky as he walked.

~~~~~~~

Oliver let her slide off of his back when they stepped onto his front porch, twisting the knob with one hand easily. The door swung open to reveal a luxourious home decked out in leather couches, large TVs and other expensive items. He stole just about all of it, though he was not inclined to share that with Nikki. "Come in," he called as he walked inside and flopped down on one couch.

{ bleh. fail. } 

[[Omg, I'm so sorry D:
I didn't realize it was that personal, you didn't have to tell me. You could have been all 'OMGCHDON'TGETALLNOSY'...
I'll pray for you gais. I hope everything works out DDD:
I have to get off now, though. D: So, I'll reply laterrr xD ]]

[[I'm back for a bit. xD]]

The rest of the walk to Olivers house was filled with silence. But, Nikki didn't mind. She kept her head rested on his bare shoulder again as he trudged on.
"Thanks."
She whispered softly as they went on, and she found herself getting comfortable, closing her eyes, and falling in a light sleep.

~

Before she knew it, she was sliding off Olivers warm back and back into the icy weather. It took her a moment to understand what was going on, they were at his house. Rubbing her eyes she obeyed his 'command' and came inside. When she was more awake, she settled down on another couch after closing the door.
"It's nice here."
She said, leaning back while still trying to wake up.
"How did you get all this...Stuff? How much did it cost?"
She asked, as she looked around with her half open eyes. Her voice was cracking and quieter then usual. She knew sooner or later she'd fall right back asleep.

[[Bump xD ]

{ Post on the other one too, D: }

Oliver swallowed. So, she'd caught on, had she? He glanced at her carefully with one eyebrow raised. "I told you I've always worked a few jobs at a time... money builds up after a while. That, and the money I got after my parent's deaths." The corners of his lips twitched upwards. "What, did you think I stole everything or something?"

Then, watching her for a moment, Oliver frowned. "Nikki... are you tired? If you are, I can show you to your room. It's right across the hall from my room if you need me or something."  

[[UHI'MSOLAZYIDON'TFEELLIKEIT D:
Just kidding. I'll do eeet now xD ]]

This wasn't the way the situation was supposed to go. She was supposed to go to his house, keep talking to him, and soon somehow, say how she felt about him.
Like that would happen.
Instead, she's looking here like an idiot. Her eyes half closed like she was drunk.
"I...No I didn't think that. It was a honest...A honest ques...What?"
She said with a whispered voice. Before she knew what she was doing, she leaned her elbow on the arm cushion of the chair, and rested her head on her hand.
"No, Oliver..I...You..Uuh..."
Her eyes closed, as she slid down on the seat to get more comfortable as she easily fell asleep.

{ You totally set me up for this. ;-; }

Oliver's eyes softened, and he stood up silently, as he knew how to do on instinct. Moving across the room like a ghost, he carefully picked her up and held her close to his chest, making sure he didn't wake her. She looked so sweet when she was sleeping; it reminded him of yesterday, when he'd first met her.

Walking up the stairs just as quietly, Oliver walked into the room she was to stay in and laid her down on the bed, tossing a blanket or two on top of her so she'd be warm.

Then, leaning down, he brushed the hair out of her face and kissed her on the temple lightly. "Sleep well..." he whispered as he closed the door quietly. "mi presa dulce..."

Then, pulling off his shorts and shoes so he could sleep in just his boxers, Oliver slid under the blankets of his bed and was out-cold within minutes. He'd meant to stay up, but oh well.

His dreams were filled with blood, screams, and a hint of vanilla ice cream. 

[[I'm sorry D: I just couldn't help it D:
OMG I'm in love with Olivers dreams xDD
Time skiiiip till morning? xD I would, but I didn't know if you had any ideas for Riven or anything xDDDD]]
