After tucking Emma in, Olivia went and got herself some wine. By the time Natalia came to join her on the bench, she was already halfway through her second glass and feeling a little more relaxed.
"Hey."
Olivia raised her head to see a tentative looking Natalia standing beside her. "Hey." A part of her felt like she needed space to think but another part of her wanted to pull Natalia close and forget that the rest of the world existed.
"I just wanted to say goodnight," Natalia said softly. She swallowed the lump that had materialised in her throat and breathed out shakily when Olivia did not answer her. "Well, goodnight then," she said, turning to go. She felt the burning feeling of tears rushing up from within her.
"Sit with me... if you want," Olivia murmured. She shifted over slightly when Natalia sat herself down beside her. "Wine?" she offered.
Natalia shook her head. She stared into the night, feeling... lost. They soaked in the silence around them; Olivia did not feel the need to speak and Natalia did not know what to say.
Then finally, Olivia broke the silence. "Good things don't happen to me." She gave Natalia a sideway glance. "I'm Olivia Spencer, and..." She let out a soft, self-deprecating laugh. "...good things don't happen to me. You, Natalia? You're a good thing. You're the best thing. And you scare the hell outta me."
Natalia made to speak but stopped herself when she saw Olivia take a breath to continue.
"I was just sitting in my office earlier, thinking about this. Waiting for the other shoe to drop--or rather, for the brick to fly in my face. And then Emma called and..." Olivia shook her head. "Good things just don't happen to me, you know?" she said, sounding wistful.
Natalia bit on her lower lip as she considered what Olivia was saying. "Have you... ever considered... that you're the good thing in my life?" she asked haltingly. At Olivia's skeptical look, Natalia trudged on. "You have made me happier than I can ever remember being, Olivia."
"I love being with you. I love the way you look, the way your laugh sounds. You're the first thing I think about when I wake up and... I've replayed all our kisses to the point of exhaustion in my head." That finally got a smirk from Olivia; it made Natalia smile despite the sadness that was spreading through her chest at what she was about to say next. "But you know what? If you tell me now that you don't want us to be together... that way... I will still love everything -"
Olivia leaned in at that and captured Natalia's lips before she could continue. She sank her fingers into smooth, dark tresses to bring Natalia closer. The kiss was soft, like a healing balm, and it sent a faint tremor through Natalia. Then Olivia slid her tongue past Natalia's lips and moaned softly at the heat she found there.
When they were together like this, nothing else mattered.
"I feel like Derek, the scaredy cat," Olivia murmured when they finally broke apart.
Natalia smiled sweetly. "That's okay, because I won't stop trying to be your friend."
"Oh, if this is what being your friend means, I'm signing up for the best friend position," Olivia said with an evil smirk and a lift of her brow.
"Olivia!" Natalia exclaimed, blushing slightly.
"Oh, wait. I already got the position, haven't I? So what're my special best friend benefits?" Olivia continued with her teasing, feeling so much better than she did before.
Natalia threaded their fingers together and rested her head on Olivia's shoulder. "You get to know that I'm always on your side. And if the brick does fly in your face, I'll be there to revive you with an ice pack."
Olivia chuckled. "And mouth to mouth resuscitation?"
Natalia rolled her eyes. "If that's what you need, sure."
"I think I need one now," Olivia said, peering down at Natalia. She laughed at the glare Natalia gave her. "I'm serious Natalia. My heart's about to stop. Oh, it's stopped. Mouth to mouth," Olivia said, pointing to her lips.
Natalia giggled and touched her fingers to Olivia's face. Instead of adhering her request, however, she held Olivia's eyes with her own and willed her to see what she was feeling. "I love you, Olivia Spencer."
Olivia's breath caught in her throat. Despite being married five times and having numerous love affairs and lovers, she had never been looked at in this manner by anyone. She dipped her head and sighed when Natalia's eyes fluttered shut in anticipation of her kiss.
