Before the Sun Sets

@ Jinx...
Leo stood abs kept his eyes on Graham even when he heard Olivia come out. Though once she was by his side, Leo put his arm around her, holding the girl close to his side. Not only did he want to protect her, he wanted Graham to know she was his. He felt like as long as he was joking onto Olivia, he could protect her from this arrogant asshole. Leo’s eyes narrowed as he listened to Graham insulting his girlfriend. He wanted to punch him right then and there. But Leo also knew if he showed weakness it would be exploited. “Talk talk talk. That’s all guys like you know how to do.” He said with a sneer. “What’re you compensating for, buddy?” Leo moved to the door and locked it behind Graham, worried about if he would try to come back in. Leo moved quickly to the front of the vehicle and set it to drive. He made his way back to Olivia and wrapped both arms around her. “Ignore him. Don’t listen to him. Like you said he wants to get under your skin. Let’s go lay down.” He murmured and led Olivia back to the bedroom.

Olivia stood there as Leo jumped around the vehicle getting things going. She bit her lip and looked up at Leo as he took her in his arms. "But he's right Leo. I broke it off in a text because I couldn't talk to him. Because I knew he would try to change my mind." she shook her head. He's usually right..." she said her eyebrows crinkling. "And he's right I haven't told you everything. I don't want to. I don't want to see the way you will look at me when you know." she said nodding as he said to lay down. She held his hand as he lead her to their room. She sat on the bed. She looked really upset but she wasn't crying anymore. Instead all of the pain was raw and was still eating her up inside. She didn't want Leo to tell her how stupid she was to be with Graham. Or how foolish it was what she did to just get by to feel a live.

Leo frowned and shook his head. “Don’t talk like that, Liv.” He said and caressed her face. “Stop being so negative on yourself.” He sighed and laid down in the bed. Leo looked up at Olivia. She wouldn’t lay with him. “You broke it off over text because he’s an abusive asshole and you didn’t want to get hurt. That’s okay. You need to do what’s best for you, not Graham.” Leo told her. He reached out snd rubbed her back with his hand, trying to console her. “We both have secrets and skeletons in our closets. That’s okay. You’ll tell me when you’re ready and I’ll tell you.” Leo told her gently. “I don’t care what he says about you. I love you Olivia. You. We will get through this.” Leo wasn’t sure if his words were helping. But he felt bad, he felt broken. Seeing Olivia like this broke him.

Olivia looked over him as he soothed her and talked. She sighed as he calmed her worries with ration. She nodded and crawled into the bed next to him and rested her head against his chest hearing his heart beating. She signed and closed her eyes. How could she be so tired when she had just woken up maybe an hour or so ago. "I love you Leo." she said back and was glad he loved her enough to go through this with her. "Are you okay? He didn't say anything that upset you did he?" she asked him. She didn't want him to just comfort her and not be taken care of too. He needed her support as much as she needed his. Olivia looked up at him gauging for herself how he was doing. She caressed his cheek starting to really relax now that she was safe and in his arms.

@ Jinx...
Leo held Olivia close to him, smiling softly at her. He wanted to do anything he could to reassure her. “Babe. I grew up with a manipulative, abusive father. I know what men like him thrive off of. They like to get under your skin. It pisses them off when you don’t give them a reaction. I learned very fast how to hide what I’m feeling and not give those reactions that they feed off of. I’m fine.” He said and laughed slightly. “They either give up or they themselves get into a pissy mood when you don’t give them a reaction. He doesn’t scare me in the least.” He told her and kissed her head. “Does he piss me off? Of course. But I can control it, at least to a point.”

@ BadStreetBoys
Olivia kissed the corner of his mouth sweetly. "I know your not scared of him Leo but if I want to go into the movie or fashion photography business he has a lot of sway and if Tony was a pushover this would have gone very differently." She said frowning. He won't give up. You know I'm going to have to meet with him alone. I'm going to have to try and make this breakup less of a mess." She said knowing already that Leo wasn't going to like it. She thought as long as she stayed in a public place that it shouldn't get out of hand. He wouldn't want to make a scene right? Olivia looked at Leo her eyes softening. He was worried about her. She hadn't cried like that in front of him sober. "I'm okay Leo." She said and kissed his head. She wasn't the emotional one around Leo anymore, but maybe that would change too.

@ Jinx...
Leo nodded and took a breath. “I don’t have the power he has. But I know plenty of people who do. I don’t think he can blacklist you, Liv. Even if he tries, I won’t let him. You’re too talented.” He said, his voice seemingly more protective than usual. “No.” Leo said and shook his head as he looked at her. “You can meet him in a public place, but I’m going to be there. I’ll stay out of sight. But I’m not letting you be alone with him, Liv. He’s dangerous. I know how men like him are. He will manipulate you and pull you back snd I’m not letting him have the chance. I won’t interrupt unless it’s absolutely necessary but I want to be there.” He explained, not wanting to also come off as controlling. Leo smiled as she kissed his head, he returned the kiss to her forehead. “I’m okay too Liv. We will be okay.”

@ BadStreetBoys
Olivia smiled as she watched him. He was so sweet and protective. She hadn't felt this way in a long time. Olivia caressed his cheek. "Thank you Leo." She said proud that he believed in her and supported her. When he told her no she pulled her hand back looking at him puzzled. He went on and she bit her lip as she listened. She was about to interrupt when he said he would stay out of sight. "I know he is Leo but..." she bit the inside of her cheek as he finished what he was saying. She frowned and looked down. She knew he was right and she knew there was no talking him out of it either. "Do you think that I can't resist him? I have viewpoints he can't change in one sitting Leo." She looked up at him. "Like how I beeive we where always meant to be and that I can't loose you again." She nodded in agreement as he told her they would be okay. She knew they would be. They both would fight like hell to make it happen. Olivia sighed and cuddled into him more. They would be where they needed to pick up from an an hour or so and they would have to face Graham again. She looked up at Leo now and knew that he meant everything to her. So she would face Graham over and over as long as she got Leo in the end.

@ Jinx...
Leo shook his head. “I trust you. I don’t trust him. I’m not saying you can’t resist him. But I’m saying I won’t let this happen. I’m not going to be that controlling boyfriend. But this right here is my hard limit, it’s where I draw the line.” He told her, his face serious yet gentle. He didn’t want Olivia to feel constricted by him like she did with Graham but he also wanted to make his boundaries clear. He had always had issues with boundaries because of his father and was finally learning to deal with that. Leo frowned as he looked over at the clock. He didn’t want to deal with that prick again. “This was supposed to be a nice trip. One for me to relax on and focus on my writing and my movie and this asshole has to ruin it.” He mumbled bitterly. Leo pulled out his phone and went into his calendar looking to see if he had anything planned or reserved for this stop.

@ BadStreetBoys
Olivia nodded softly as he set a hard limit. She would respect that. "Okay. I respect your limits." she said and smiled softly and kissed him softly. She grinned as he spoke about this being a nice trip. She chuckled. "Yes he is a prick but he will go away eventually and in the meantime..." she ran her hands up his chest. "Let's not give him any more thought than we need to." she said. She watched him pull out his phone and chuckled. He was tense. "Let's see if we can relax you a little." she spoke quietly and put her hand over his phone pushing it away. She kissed over his neck as she moved her body closer to his. She ran her fingers up into his hair and kissed the corner of his mouth looking up into his eyes. She loved him so much it made her heart ache. "I love these lips. You do this smirk when you look at me, when you're proud of me. It's so sexy." she chuckled and kissed his lips briefly then looked up into his eyes again. She moved her lips down kissing the freckles on his neck. "And I have wanted to do that since I saw you in that button down shirt." She bit her lip and came back up her head tilting as she looked him over. "You need a haircut." she grinned running her hands through his hair and down his neck holding him close. "Do you know what you do to me?"

@ Jinx...
Leo was tense, he was stressed and he hated it. He had never learned how to properly deal with stress, so he would usually just freak out and overreact. Or drink. That was really how he had dealt with his stressors for the past few years.Leo looked down at Olivia and raised an eyebrow as she pushed his phone away. Though that look was immediately pushed away by a grin as she moved close and began to kiss at him. He couldn’t get enough of her, and it seemed like she couldn’t get enough of him. This was heaven. “Yea?” He asked in a small mumble. Leo’s hands moved to her hips and gripped on as he pulled her body close to his. Leo grinned as she continued to kiss, chi lounge at Olivia’s words. “I’ll never say no to you touching and loving me.” He murmured and kissed her head. Leo smirked and slid one hand around and down to her ass, giving it a playful squeeze. “No I don’t, why don’t you show me.” He purred.

@ BadStreetBoys
Olivia smiled as he pulled her hips closer. She smiled and nodded as he told her he wouldn't say no to her touching him. She hummed as his lips pressed to her. She squealed quietly as he squeezed her bottom. She ran her hands over his chest and pressed her lips to his humming in delight. She grinned as he purred. It went straight to between her thighs. She kissed him deeper before speaking softly against his lips. "Gladly." she nipped at his bottom lip before her mouth met his again. Her tongue merged with his as her body rolled against his her hands grasping him. She pushed at his shirt pushing it off. She pushed him onto his back sitting over him looking over him with lust. She kissed his lips. Her hand moved up is chest to his neck gently pushing it up and to th side her mouth exploring down over his skin. She nipped softly at a soft spot on his neck before placing kisses on the freckles there. She kissed down his chest her hands moving down resting on his hips. She was slow and careful. As she got to his pants she looked up at him her hair a curtain over one shoulder pooling against his skin. "Do you want me to keep going?" she asked him seductivly.

@ Jinx...
Leo could just eat up all the affection and attention that Olivia was giving him. Her touch was addicting. Her lips were delicious. Every part of her was intoxicating to him. His lips meshed with hers until she pulled away. When she began to kiss his neck and body, Leo tilted his neck to expose more of himself. He pressed his body into her lips and her touch. His hands moved around Olivia’s hips slightly, but mostly just held her close to him. Leo looked up and smirked, licking his lips as well. He nodded. Leo grabbed her chin and held Olivia’s face in place for a moment. “I wanna arrive at our destination, and make you scream so fuckin loudly. That this asshole knows exactly what kind of man I am.” He said assertively. His eyes lustful and dominant.

@ BadStreetBoys
Olivia blushed as he caught her chin and spoke about making her scream. She wanted that and it made desire shoot between her legs. But his next words had her sitting back looking down at him. "Our sex is not going to be about proving your masculanity to my ex." she said. "The only thing I want you proveing is that you are mine and that you are as in love with me as I am with you. There is only room enough for two in this relationship." she said and waited a moment bitting her lip. She sighed and got up out of the bed. "I'm going to get some water." she said. She was still hot and needy but his words had set soemthing off in her. She didn't care that he wanted to show that she belonged to him but, she cared that he wanted to prove that he was man enough to make her orgasm. She didn't know why it sat so terrible with her. She didn't want to upset Leo either but she wasn't going to force what didn't feel right. Olivia stood at the sink sipping from a glass as she looked out the window. She had a thinking face with that little crease in her brow meaning she was upset in some way. All her life men wanted to show her off and prove their worth using her but for once she wanted to be the one that her man was showing off to and proving he was worth of her.

@ Jinx...
Leo frowned slightly as Olivia’s demeanor changed and she spoke. As he watched her leave the room he let out a heavy sigh. The man was so frustrated with himself. He knew she was right. He didn’t need to prove himself to some other asshole. He just needed to prove himself to Olivia, and she already loved him. He sat back against the headboard and rand his hands down his face. He fucked up big time and he knew it. Leo swallowed hard snd took a deep breath. He knew he had to go talk to her. Leo got up and walked out of their bedroom. He looked over at Olivia as she thought snd he walked up behind her. “I’m sorry.” He murmured and reached out, gently touching her elbow. “Sometimes I don’t think enough before I say or do things.” He whispered. Leo leaned down and kissed her cheek. “Sometimes I feel inadequate because of , well everything that’s happened. I feel like I constantly need to prove myself to everyone else and I know it’s something I have to work on. But I shouldn’t drag you or our relationship into it.”

@ BadStreetBoys
Olivia heard him speak and felt it soften her. She turned as he touched her. She looked up at him listening then down knowing she could do the same thing sometimes too. She felt any resistance to him melt away as he kissed her cheek. She looked back up at him her hand running down his arm to keep him closer. She hated that he ever felt inadequate because to her he was everything. Olivia took his hand squeezing it gently then slipped into his arms holding him. "Thank you." she said glad he talked to her, that he understood why she was upset. "Leo it's hard for me to understand why you feel inadequate because to me you're amazing. You're there for me when I am weak which makes you super strong looking to me, and you are determined. You're kind and you believe in me to a level no one else ever has before. You are everything to me, you always have been. So it's hard for me to understand but I guess that it the same way you have a hard time seeing the flaws I see in myself." she looked up at him and smiled softly. She pressed a kiss to his lips. Her lips tender giving little pecks. "I don't want you to feel like you have to do anything alone especially not this. "I'll show you what I see in you then maybe you can start to believe it too." she said and smiled up at him. She was glad they could work things out.

@ Jinx...
Leo felt his nervousness slip away as Olivia reciprocated his affection and moved close to him. His arms wrapped around Olivia and he held her tight to his chest as Leo listened to her speak. They understood each other so well. It truly was meant to be in his eyes. He relaxed as they comforted one another. Leo’s eyes glanced down at Olivia as he thought about how she was his person. “Exactly.” He murmured. “I think you’re perfect and I know you don’t. The same way you think so highly of me.” He laughed gently. Leo stepped back from a moment and held Olivia’s hands in his own. “I spent my entire life being told I’m not good enough. Being told I’m not a man. Being told I’m trash.” He laughed awkwardly and looked away nervously as he continued to speak. “And you know as well as I do that in our field of work. Entertainment. That it is a Boys Club that you have to fight your way into. And I feel like a fraud every day.” Leo bit his lip and closed his eyes. “I just want to feel like I belong. But to feel that way. I feel as if I need to feel like a man and present as a man. That if I’m seen as anything less than this strong, cocky, arrogant guy. That I won’t be let into this Boys Club. And people like your ex make it pretty fucking hard to think otherwise.” He told her and opened his eyes as he looked down at Olivia.

@ BadStreetBoys
Olivia let that sink in. He thought she was perfect to the same degree she thought he was. That made her blush because she could never see herself as that good or important. She listened frowning as he explained the pain behind the need. She hated his father for what he did to Leo and how he had scared him on the inside where it took so much longer to heal. He kept going though she knew he was feeling anxious and exposed as he bared himself to her. She looked down knowing just how many times they wanted her to act or be a certain way to be accepted by the good old boy club. That was what being with Graham had started as. It was a way to get into the club but she had sacrificed so much by being with him. She nodded knowing it was hard. "Leo..." she thought a moment how to say this, "you will always belong. You belong with me. And if they won't let in two of the most talented people then I say screw them, we'll make our own damn club." She said looking up at him with that fire her soul was made of. She smiled softly. "And we'll be there to support each other and remind each other of our worth." She ran her hands up his arms and down his chest. Her fingers looped into his belt buckles pulling him closer as she looked up at him in that sexy way girl did when they wanted their way. "Your my man Leo and you're all the man I need. You don't have to be strong all the time, or be arrogant or cocky to please me. I just want you." She leaned up kissing him softly. "And I will happily remind you as often as you need of just that fact." She smiled seductively at him.

@ Jinx...
Leo looked back at Olivia as he finished speaking snd she began. He smiled softly as they embraced and she spoke. She made him feel like the man he wanted to be. That was all he needed. She was all he needed. Leo laughed softly and nodded. “I like the idea of our own club.” He said and smiled as he kissed her back. Leo smirked slightly as his eyes moved over her. Leo wrapped his arms around her and lifted Olivia up so he could hold her against his chest. “Fuck woman. Do you know what you do to me?” He purred. “You make me feel like a real man.” He growled lowly and kissed her again. Leo moved and set Olivia on the counter as he continued to kiss her. “We don’t have time.” He mumbled against her lips. “Like five minutes until we arrive.” He said as his lips broke from hers and he looked up toward the cockpit.

@ BadStreetBoys
Olivia gasped as he picked her up. She giggled wrapping her legs around him. She bit her lip and smiled as he purred his desire evident for her. She felt his words. She loved that she could make him feel like the man he was. She kissed him back her fingers running into his hair. She felt the counter under her but didn't let go just relaxed a little. She kissed him back her body needy and her hands demanding. He mumbled and she giggled. She wanted to say fuck it they could spend some time before they went out but she had a job to do that she was behind in and she didn't want him to replace his addiction to alcohol with sex with her. She wanted their sex to mean something and their relationship to be about more than just sex. She bit her lip and grinned chuckling. She leaned in and kissed his jaw as he looked over at the cockpit. "Mmm well we will just have to pick this up later." she said and ran her hands down his arms. She rested her head on his shoulder just wanting to be close to him.
