Take Control

Oli sat at the table with the Jona and Tom as he shifted the glass full of alcohol around. He was anxious to see what Matt would act like. He really didn't want to have another fight with him. It wasn't worth it. He sighed and brought the cup to his lips as Matt walked over sitting across from him and beside Jona. Matt's eyes shifted to him and Tom got up, "I'm gonna get a drink, Jona wanna come?"

The blonde boy nodded and the pair left leaving the pair alone.

"So, I had a chat wif Malorie." Matt said calmly and Oli's eyes shot to his, "What?"

"Nuffin bad. She actuallah called meh ova."

Oli narrowed his eyes at him, preparing to have to defend Malorie and himself once again.

"She reallah loves yeh, yeh know?"

Well he didn't expect that, "Uh, yeah, I know..."

"Look, all I'm sayin' is I like her ok? And if yeh love her well then, ok." He said knowing he sounded stupid, but he didn't know what else to say.

"I do." Oli grumbled and Matt nodded, "Well ok."

He knew in Matt's twisted way that he was trying to say he was ok with the pair being together which although Oli was still a bit pissed off about the situation he felt a bit relieved knowing it was all over. He would have to thank Malorie later.

After several drinks and the rest of his mates showing up Oli found himself calling Malorie so she could come get him because he was too intoxicated to drive. Oli stumbled outside into the cold air so he could have some silence to make the phone call.

"Hello?" She answered after a few rings.

"Heyyyy my love." He said happily as he leaned against the wall.

"Do you need a ride?"

He sighed, "Yes, I'm sorrah."

"I'll be there in a moment."

"Thanks. Yeh amazin'. I love yeh."

The girl couldn't help but chuckle, "See you in a minute."

He shoved his phone back in his pocket and waited for his girlfriend to arrive. What felt like forever for Malorie to arrive really was mere minutes and before he knew it he was climbing into her warm car.

"Thanks again love." He mumbled shutting his eyes as he leaned against the seat. Malorie chuckled, "You're welcome." She responded patting his knee. He quickly grabbed up her hand and the drive to her place was quiet.

"Fuck I didn't realize it was so late. Yeh should have left meh." Oli mumbled realizing the time flashing on the alarm clock as he crawled onto her bed.

"Nonsense."

He reached out for her and she chuckled before kicking her shoes off and climbing beside him.

"Yeh a good bird." He mumbled into her hair.

"Did Matt and you talk?"

"Mhm, yeah. He's fine wif it now. Somefin' bout a prettah little bird talked him inta it." He joked causing her to chuckle, "Mhm, wonder who."

He smiled and kissed her lips, "Yeh propa lovely." He whispered laying his head on the pillow, his eyes shutting against his will.

Malorie ran his fingers into his hair as he spoke once more, "Now we can be togetha wifout worryin' bout anyone."

"Yeah, well, we still have Allie, but yes we don't have to hide."

"Fuck her. I love yeh and I juss wanna be wif yeh." He mumbled his arm wrapping around her waist. He honestly didn't care what Allie did anymore. Matt was on his side and he felt better than before. She didn't matter at all.

Malorie kissed his forehead and he pulled her closer, "Nuffin is gonna mess this up, Malorie. I won't let it."

"Ok, my drunken boyfriend, get some sleep." She said and he kissed her cheek, "Ok."

"I love you." She whispered and he cuddled her to him, "I love yeh more."

The pair fell asleep almost instantly and were woke up not by choice but by a banging on the front door. Oli groaned and Malorie tried to climb from the bed.

"No, I'll get it." Oli spoke in a raspy voice as he placed his hand on her stomach so she wouldn't move. She nodded and he grumbled to himself as he headed to the front door.

He opened the door to see Tom which took him a bit off guard and his anger vanished to curiousity, "Uh yeh ok?"

"Mate, Allie showed up last night and well, she left wif Matty!" He said with now wide eyes.

Oli's mouth fell open, "What?"

"Yeah." The boy responded with a nod. Oli felt himself grow mad as the sentence settled in.

"Have yeh went ova there?"

"No. Should I?"

"Yeah! If I go I'll murda someone!"

"Ok, ok calm down. I'll go find out."

Oli nodded and a Tom walked away he slammed the door shut.

"Everything ok?" He heard and spun around to see Malorie in his shirt. He didn't know how she ended up in his shirt, but a grin hit his lips anyways.

"Yeah, juss drama. Yeh know." He whispered wrapping his arms around her small frame.

"Girl stuff." She teased.

He chuckled, "yeah, 'parently we are the birds here."

She giggled and he picked her up carrying her back to her bed. She of course was curious as to what happened, but she wasn't going to ask.

He stared down at her as he played with her hair. Taking in the color of her eyes and her long lashes before placing kisses on her cheek and forehead.

"Tom said that Allie showed up after I left and that he finks she went home wif Mattah." He whispered.

"Oh...well, maybe they just left at the same time."

"Doubtful. Tom is goin' ta see." He mumbled.

"I'm sure not. He's not that stupid."

He shrugged and caressed her cheek with his fingers. A chuckle escaped his lips and she gave him a confused look, "What?"

"Yeh a smart bird."

"Uh, thanks?"

"Yeh figured meh out and yet, yeh pretend like yeh haven't."

"What do you mean?"

"Yeh neva ask me anyfing, yeh juss know if yeh leave meh be for a moment I'll tell yeh anyways."

She chuckled, "Maybe..."

"It's ok, I've figured somefings out bout yeh as well." He says with a grin.

"Like what?"

"Oh yeh know, like when yeh bite yeh lip yeh wanna have sex." He said causing the girl's cheeks to instantly redden as she released her bottom lip, "I do not."

"Reallah? Fink bout it. Two days ago, we were sittin' on my back porch, I noticed yeh bitin' yeh lip and well, we bof know what happened afta that now don't we?" He asked with an amused look and she rolled her eyes, "That's a ridiculous theory."

"Is not. It's true. Yeh do it, I notice and of course I'm gonna jump at tha opportunity I'm only human!"

"Whatever."

"Fine. Would yeh like more examples?"

"No." She grumbled.

He chuckled and kissed her lips, "I fink it's propa sexy. Yeh act like it's a bad fing that yeh wanna have sex wif meh, love."

"It is."

He rolled his eyes, "Right, yeh don't seem ta complain when it's happenin'."

"Shut up." She groaned and he let out a laugh, "Am I embarrassin' yeh? I mean, that's a bit hard to do so if so I wanna know!"

"Shut up, Sykes!"

He chuckled and pinned her arms to the bed as she tried to push him off.

"I love yeh." He whispered against her ear causing her to give up fighting with him.

"I reallah do. I hope yeh know that." He added kissing her cheek gently. He was always gentle with her he realized. She just brought that out of him. Yeah she was fiesty as hell, but she was also the sweetest, most caring girl he had ever came in contact with. He loved that about her. Then again, what didn't he love about her?

"So are we going to have sex or what?" She asked and he couldn't help but laugh which put her in a fit of laughter and before they knew it both were crying with laughter over something so ridiculous.

"Why was that so funny?" He asked chuckling as he stared up at the ceiling.

"I really don't know. We're idiots."

"Maybeh so. I like us though." He said sliding his hand in hers.

"Yeah, me too."

A grin resided on his lips as he ran his thumb over her soft skin, "I would gladly shag yeh right now my love, but Tom should be back soon and bein' interrupted is worse than waitin'."

"Right."

He chuckled and brought her hand to his lips.

"So, what if Allie is with Matty?" Malorie asked. She couldn't hold back that question any longer.

"I'll kill him." He grumbled and she let the silence take over. He immediately knew what she was thinking and he moved so he was hovering over her.

"No, not because of why yeh fink so. I don't want ta be wif her, I juss, everyfing that happened, and how he acted towards yeh, I mean, I'd go mental on him." He said bringing his hand to her cheek.

"Yeah, I see your point."

He nodded and kissed her forehead right as the doorbell sounded. He sighed and gave her a look before treading to the door. Of course he wasn't surprised to see Tom since it was expected.

"Hello, dear brotha and what kind of news do yeh carry for meh?"

"Well, I'm not certain yet."

"What do yeh mean?" He asked a bit confused and Malorie came dowmn the stairs clearly able to figure out nothing was known.

"I'll call her and ask her if she works." Malorie said calmly as she fell onto the couch, phone in hand.

"Such a conniving lil bird. No wonder yeh like her." Tom joked.

Oli chuckled sending a smile the girl's way as she rolled her eyes and texted away.

"A text isn't goin' ta help." Tom stated and she rolled her eyes, "I know, you idiot. Let me do what I need to do."

"Whoa!" Tom said defensively as he threw his hands up and Oli chuckled, "Yeah, she's definitely my bird."

"Yeah, yeh fink?" Tom grumbled falling beside the girl and Oli smiled from where he stood.

Tom acted like that was a bad thing, but in fact it made Oli love her even more. If the moment wasn't such a disaster right now he'd carry her back to her room and spend the day cuddling with her. Yes, cuddling. He shuttered simply from the fact that it was the word that came to mind, but he meant it. He wanted to forget everything going on and focus on her because she made him happy and relaxed which he appreciated.

"She just asked me if I could come in for her because she's going to be late because she didn't stay at home last night." Malorie said and Oli's happy thoughts quickly vanished.

This was not looking so good afterall.
