Hear Your Heart

“Look who decided to make it back to the table” Sergio teased softly as Olivia sat beside him, offering a sheepish look to the other inhabitants of the table. She felt a little bad, she had drawn attention to Iker without meaning to, and she hoped that he wouldn’t hold it against her. It had been a moment, a wobble, she hoped that it wouldn’t ruin their night entirely. She wanted to enjoy spending time with him, something she was getting used to again, and she hoped she could manage to put up with Delilah for a few hours, even if the blonde’s face did give her an urge to lash out. She didn’t want to cause a scene.

“It was the promise of the dessert that did it” Iker teased, his arm resting on the back of Olivia’s seat “She can never resist a good cheesecake” he added.

Olivia scoffed. “Says the man who attempts to eat me out of house and home every time he comes over” she mused.

“I do not. You just don’t buy enough food” Iker scoffed.

“I have enough for me and Thiago” she noted “You just eat too much” she added, gently poking him in the stomach.

“Thiago?” Delilah piped up, her eyes settling on the brunette “Who’s Thiago?” she added.

Olivia fought the urge to scoff and lifted her stare away from Iker who quickly moved to take her hand, squeezing the small extremity gently. “Thiago is our son” she noted, trying to keep the bitterness out of her voice.

“Aw, you have a baby? I bet he’s adorable like his papa” Delilah giggled.

Olivia flashed her the politest smile she could muster before she turned back to Iker, offering him a look that made him sigh, pressing a small kiss to her cheek. “You’re a braver person than me” he murmured low enough for just her to hear “And when we get out of here, I am going to repay you in the best way I can think possible” he added.

Olivia shook her head. “Please just don’t let me hit her” she mumbled “I don’t want to embarrass you like that” she added.

Iker chuckled. “You throw better punches that I do, Oli” he teased “I would be a little impressed” he added.

Olivia rolled her eyes. “Just don’t let me do it OK?” she posed.

“I promise” he mused “Now, can we please eat the cheesecake that they have served us? It’s been sitting there for 2 minutes and I am a little ashamed that we’re not eating it” he mused.

Olivia shook her head. “You’re an idiot, aren’t you?” she teased, a small grin on her face.

“Yeah, I probably am” Iker grinned gently in return.

“So”

Olivia, who had been checking her phone for a message from Callie, lifted her head, her blue eyes narrowed on the blonde woman who sat opposite her. It was the first time they had been left alone, Iker had ensured that either him or Sergio had been around Olivia all night to ensure that she didn’t have to deal with Delilah, but neither of them were to be seen, something which meant Olivia didn’t have a way out.

“You were with Iker when I slept with him” Delilah noted.

Olivia nodded gently. “I was” she returned stoutly “Why does that matter to you?” she added.

“I guess I just never imagined meeting you” Delilah commented “Or that he would be so smitten with you” she added.

“Why wouldn’t he be?” Olivia posed.

Delilah shrugged. “He didn’t talk much about you, all he really said is that he thought you were great and that it turned out that you weren’t. I am a little amazed that you took him back” she noted.

Olivia bit her tongue before she took in a breath. “I love him” she noted “And whilst it isn’t easy, I am learning to be with him again” she added.

“And you’re not terrified?” Delilah pressed.

“Of what?” Olivia posed.

“Of him doing it again. The guy’s a cheater, Oli, and there’s not guaranteeing that he will never do it again. I bet you didn’t think he would do it the first time, but he did” Delilah pointed out, sipping on her glass of wine “Whilst you were pregnant too” she added.

Olivia swallowed. “I trust him” she murmured.

“I bet you did before too” Delilah noted “I am just saying be careful Olivia” she added.

“Why? Do you have intentions to sleep with him again?” Olivia spat.

Delilah shook her head. “No, like it was for Iker, it was a mistake that I wish I could take back, but I am not the girl you ought to be concerned about” she noted.

Olivia frowned. “What are you talking about?” she posed.

“Your boyfriend is a gorgeous man, Olivia, and I am not the only girl who knows it. I am just saying that you should keep your guard up. Iker’s cute and he now has a track record” Delilah quipped before she pushed herself up, moving to find Cristiano so that he could take her home. Olivia watched her go before she felt a hand land on her shoulder, causing her to look up.

“I am so sorry that you were left alone with her” Iker mused, moving back into his seat “I thought Sergio was still sat here but when I spotted him and Pilar making out in the corner, I made my way back. Are you Ok?” he posed, his dark eyes peering at her in concern.

Olivia nodded. “Fine” she murmured.

Iker frowned. “You don’t sound fine, Oli” he mused “That’s your ‘Iker’s done something wrong again’ tone” he pointed out.

Olivia shook her head. “You’ve not done a thing” she mused “It was just Delilah being the bitch I expected her to be” she added.

“You sure?” Iker posed “Because if you have something on your mind, I would like for you to tell me about it” he mused, his hand taking hers as he brushed his thumb over her skin.

Olivia peeked down at their hands before she looked back up at his face, noting the honest expression that was etched onto his kind features. Shaking her head, she offered him a little smile. “It’s nothing” she assured him gently “It was just Delilah trying to get into my head” she added.

Iker sighed. “I shouldn’t have left you with her” he muttered.

“I am a big girl, Iker” she mused “And it was only a couple of minutes. Stop freaking” she added with a little smile.

“I worry, querida” he mused.

Olivia stood up slightly and pressed a little kiss to his lips. “You don’t have a thing to worry about” she noted “Now, I believe you promised me a dance” she added, moving to pull him to his feet.

Iker smiled and placed his arms around her, glad that things seemed to be alright despite the small altercation with Delilah.
