Previously on TOUGH LOVE…..

Oliver’s pov..

Thoughts filled my head as we drove through the night.

My eyes became heavy….

And I fell into a deep sleep…..

Now****

Damon’s pov…

Oliver doesn’t deserve that…His father….that imbecile……..how can he say that to oliver?….

My hand grips the wheel.

I glanced at Oliver..

Damon:” oliver?”

..

He head tilted bit.
Eyes closed..
He sleeping. Mhm…
..

Arrived at hellings manor***
….

I drove through the gates after confirming myself.
And drove around where Ron had been waiting.

I got out of the car.

Ron:” Master Damon. Welcome home.”

I nodded.
I went to the other side of the car and opened the door.

Ron:” oh? Fallen alseep have we? Do we wake him?”

Damon:” no it’s alright. I’ll carry him to the guest room.”

Ron:” oh are you sure?”

With that I picked up Oliver in a bridal style with ease.

Damon:” He’s quite light.”

Ron slightly nods…

Ron:” alright then. As you wish.”

Damon:” although, grab his bag please.”

Ron:” of course”

Ron grabs Oliver’s bag.

Then We made our way inside. Where we started going up the stairs.

Oliver still peacefully sleeping.

Ron:” would you care for some refreshments master damon?”

Damon:” no thank you. I’ll be going straight to bed..”

Ron nods as he walks up the stairs with me.

I eventually made my way to the guest room. Ron opened the door.

..
Then I had set Oliver down on the bed with the familier white sheets, he seems to love very much.

Ron sets down his bag beside the bed.

..
As soon as I settled him down, he moves comfortably. As if he knows he’s on the bed.

..
Mhm reminds he the day he had first slept on this bed.
He was excited…

Ron checks his pocket watch.

Ron:” ah, I shall be going master Damon….but uh..do call for me if you need me.”

I nod.
..
He leaves the room.

..
My attention went back to oliver..

Oliver:” mhm..m…..mm…”

I slightly chuckled. He’s quite adorable….

Oliver moves slightly as he’s sleeping.
..
He should be more comfortable..

I started to gently take off Oliver’s boots and had placed them aside.

Took the warm blanket and placed it over him.

He seems to smile slightly in his sleep.

….Oliver…..

….I slowly moved my hand towards his cheeks…and brushed my thumb slightly on his lips.

He’s….so….

…..

I moved my hand away..
No..
let him sleep……
….

I walked away from him towards the light switches.

I turned the lights to a comfy dim.

..

……
With that I closed his door and headed towards my room..

My head clouded with the thoughts of him.

I opened my door and closed it. And placed my back against the door.
..

My mind goes back to the office.
The way he moans…..the way he moves….the way he looks…..

The way he said….sir….

God……..I want him………..I need more of him……
……
I ran my fingers through my hair..

…..
Although was he honest with such feelings?…
I did not want that moment to end……
Was it a one time thing?……

His body….his voice….his lips….his eyes…..
….

Fuck…….
Everything about him….
I’ve….become…..obsessed.


This is madness……

I walked over to the painting I did of oliver.

Damon:”…………oliver…”
……..

..


The next day *****


Oliver’s pov…

Mhm…

My eyes sorta fluttered opened…

Trying to recognize my surroundings.

I feel….so comfy……I finally got my eyes to focus.

White sheets?
Fluffy cushion?? Never wanting to leave the bed kind of feeling??

Ahh! I’m in the guest room!

I stretched while laying down.
Ahhh…..No wonder I got a good night’s sleep.
I’m in my favorite bed.
Even tho my ass is sore…….
Oh shit….we….
………..it’s still….unbelievable…………i didn’t want the moment to end……
..was it the one time??….i knew what was turning him on…and that turned me on and we just…………UGH…
…it’s just his………..everything about him…..it’s just so…..

.mhm….

I want more of him….

…….

….

…….

Wait…

….

Wait…how’d I get here? Didn’t I fell asleep in the car?
Mhm.
Damon must’ve carried me. Bet I weighed like a ton.

I got up from the bed.
And stretched upwards.
..Ahh…….can’t beat a nice sleep….
Oh…
My bag?
I looked around til I saw it beside the bed.
Ah here it is.
I opened my bag and took out the clothes I packed.
A black shirt with a golden and black flannel. I rolled up the flannel sleeves..With black ripped up jeans.
I put on my boots.
Took my phone but left everything on the bed.
I walked to the door and opened it.
It still amazes me to how big this place is.
I thought as I look around the mansion.
I went down the stairs.

Oliver:” hello?”….

No answer.
Mhm

Guess their all working?

Ron:” hello there.”

I jumped a bit from his sudden voice.

Ron chuckles a bit.

Ron:” apologizes I did not mean to startle you master oliver.”

I smiled when I see him.

Oliver:” don’t be sorry your okay. Where…is everyone? If you don’t mind me asking?”

Ron tisks his tongue before speaking.

Ron:” ah Mr and Mrs. Hellings had gone to a business trip. Master Damon had something urgent to take care of at the Hellings Office.”

Oliver:” ah…gotcha…how are you this morning?”

Ron seem surprised but hid it well.

Ron:” im very well this morning, thank you for asking.”

I smiled.

Ron:” is there something you’d like to do?”

Oliver:” oh I can’t, this isn’t my ….house…I don’t want to invade anywhere.”

Ron:” oh nonsense. Master Damon thought you’d be up after his leaving, so he’d told me to take care of you. Which I don’t mind at all..”

He takes a slight bow.
And gives a warm smile.

Oliver:” awe….I appreciate that Ron…”

He nods.

Ron:” would Master Oliver care for some breakfast?”

Oh as soon as he says breakfast my stomach growls hungrily..

Oliver:” …..yes please.”

Ron:” follow me.”

Ron and I headed towards the kitchen area.

Where some maids were cleaning the place.

Ron:” all the finest freshest foods comes through here. We only serve the best for the best.”

Oliver:” they all work for the hellings?”

He nods.

Ron:” All proud of working with them. They gave us such a wonderful life. So we treat them right. As I’ve told you before. I’ve worked with them for years.”

Ron:” so your like the head of everything here?”

Ron:” you can say that. They listen to me and the Hellings. I make sure what needs to get done. Gets done….now….I must ask you of something master oliver.”

I look at him.

Ron:” what would you like for breakfast?”

I smiled at him.

Oliver:” I’ve got something in mind..”

Time later…..

For the next 30 mins,
Ron and I had cooked a perfect breakfast….

Tho he seem surprised again, considering the maids do the cooking.

The maids seemed just as surprised.

..

I had placed a dish in the sink and washed it.

Ron had tried to explain to me that the maids will take care of it.

But as stubborn as I am, I kept washing it and placed it away.

..he seems grateful.

Then he looks at the breakfast on the platter.

Ron:” ah! I believe this is what you call an…egg sandwich?”

..

I dried my hands and went to finish it.


..
I placed the roll on top of the delicious combo.

Oliver:” not just a egg sandwich Ron. It’s 4 over easy eggs, topped with sliced sausages, topped with Chrispy bacon, and finally melted over all of that, a good American cheese slices.”

Ron chuckles a bit.

Ron:” so an egg sandwich?”

I laughed.
I nodded.
Oliver:” y-yes an egg sandwich. “

Ron laughed with me.

Ron:” well I enjoyed cooking with you oliver. It’s quite exquisite when cooking with a partner.”

His slight accent never drops.

Oliver:” I thought you said the maids takes care of the cooking?”

Ron:” ah I’ll admit, they do the cooking, but it’s been a while since I’ve cooked with anyone. Well…been a while since I’ve cooked in general.”

Oliver:” you only cooked when Damon was little I’m assuming?”

Ron nods.

Ron:” most of the time. Sometimes he cooked with me. He had also only liked it when I had cooked him something. Especially when he requested something specific, like Cauliflower Rice Sushi…..or..Roasted Salmon Nicoise and his favorite happens to be Pasta with Pancetta and Tomato Sauce…”

I looked at him with a brow up.

Oliver:” those were specific.”

Ron:” an interesting boy that one. He’s very point on for what he wants.”

What he wants….?..


..no….no get your head out of the clouds…focus!

Oliver:” anyway, am I going to eat this all by myself?”

Ron:” well you do not have to finish it today, you can take it home if you’d like?”

Oliver:” nooo..i mean, are you going to have some with me?”

Ron:” oh, no I couldn’t possibly. It isn’t my sandwich. “

Oliver:” well it dosn’t say my name on it. And technically I helped YOU cook. Here.”

I took the knife and cut two pieces from the roll.

The yoke, from the eggs flowing down.

I placed the on two Seprate plates and slid one over to Ron.

Oliver:” there. One for me and you.”

Ron:” oh I….”

He takes a moment…..

His face changed to a gentle smile…..

Oliver:” oh ….I’m…sorry did you not want some?…I wasn’t sure if you had eaten already or-“

Ron:” oh no no its not that master Oliver. It’s just…..Master Damon would do the exact same thing….whenever we would cook together……”

I could see his eyes….a.bit…watery….
I’m guessing he misses the old days….where he would spend so much time with….Damon.

I gently placed my hand on his shoulder.
He turns slightly to me.
And I gave him a hug..
..
And Ron gladly took it.
A nice gentle hug.

..
The hug ended with Ron slightly chuckling.

Ron:” oh look at me…a teary mess..oh..”

He takes a hankie from his suit pocket and tapped under his eyes.

Ron:” thank you…Master oliver.”

I gave him a smile.

Oliver:” thank you…Ron..”

With that.

We both enjoyed a nice breakfast together.
..


….


Damon’s pov

Worker man:” Mr.hellings, I had found the files you had asked for.”

Damon:” leave them with my secretary. She’ll hold on to any files that I requested. “

He nods and goes to the opposite direction.

Worker women:” Mr.hellings, you said you wanted to schedule the meeting for next month yesterday. “

She says as we kept walking.
..
Damon:” yes?”

Worker women:” well we already have 2 meetings with the Connecting Tradesmen. They are neck to neck, are you sur-“

Damon:” proceed the meetings as planned and place the meeting that I had moved next to it. I can attend to all of them.”

She nods.

Worker women:” very good Mr.hellings. “

And she walks away.

.

I head towards the elevator to go to my office.

Til, I unfortunately see a familier face walking from down the hall.

Ivan:” oh damon~ hold the elevator please?~”

Shit….definitely not….

I slightly pressed the button to close.

Ivan:” damon?~ hold the elevator ~~~”….

….
….

He got closer and closer.
The doors started to close.

Good.

Then a hand stopped it.

Ivan:” heyyyyyyyy Damonnnn~”

I clenched my fists.

I furrowed my brows.

He got in and the doors closes.
And we started to move upwards.

..

Goddammit….

A moment of silence filled the elevator …
…..

Ivan:” going up?~”

….

Damon:” you’ve got alot of nerves…..”

Ivan:” awe don’t be like that Damon..I ju-“

Damon:” enough. I don’t want to hear not one word out of you…”

Ivan:” mhm moody…”
..

The elevator went up a few more floors. Til I’ve noticed a smirk form on Ivan’s face.

..

Ivan:” so~ I’ve heard that your going away for a week. Not soon, but it’ll happen.”

Damon:” how the hell did you even hear about that?”

Ivan:” I was listening to my father speaking with your mother, last night…. about you~ going to that docks for the week.”

Mother had called me in late hours discussing to me on how I have to go away to the trading docks…..Just to keep a sharp eye on the cargo being shipped.
It’ll happen when she give the word to do so.

Damon:” you were eavesdropping and that is non of your concern…..”

Ivan:” it is if your gone for a week.”

Damon:” ….you have said that three times already ivan…….I do not need to be reminded….”

Ivan:” that means I get to take over the office til you come back.”

Damon:” definitely not. You do not know how to run a company…”

Ivan:” such little faith huh?”

Mhm…

Damon:” very…..very……little…”

Ivan:” huh……….come to think of ittt…~…oliverrr….is your assistant..so I’m taking your place AND your assistant for a week..”
….
…..

Ivan:” I wonder what we’ll do that week? Maybe have some f-“

His sentence was cut off by his back being slammed against the elevator wall.

I had placed my forarm up to his neck til he was almost gasping for air.

Ivan:” AK!”

He furrowed his brows.

..
Damon:” you will NOT Land a single finger on him!. He is not a toy for you to play with! If you do so much as even look at him while I am gone, you shall wish you hadn’t. Do not take my words for bluff this time Ivan. If Oliver hadn’t interfered last time…… you’d be in worst condition then you are in now…”
I say.
Nearly growling.

Ivan:” offensive…”

Damon:” I am serious Ivan. Take this as a warning….”

He seemed to noticed that I was serious.
And lowered his eyes a bit.

I elevator dings as it goes to my floor.
The doors opens and I let lvan go.

Ivan rubbed his throat a bit and fixed his suit.
Catching his breath a bit.
But still giving a look.

I turned and walked away.

….

….

To be continued……..
