"boo!" olivia clapped her hands onto her dad's shoulders. the older alvarez only looked back and smirked before returning to typing on his laptop. olivia groaned. 
"you try this every time and every time i tell you, you can't scare me, honey." 
"and every time i ask you, how did you know i was there?" gabriel closed his laptop, getting up before leaning down to press a kiss onto his daughter's forehead. 
"i'm you father, it's my job to know where you are and that you're okay." olivia watched him walk into the kitchen and pour himself a coffee, "breakfast?" 
after her date with aiden the previous night, olivia had gotten missed calls and texts from her father asking her to come home. frantically, fearing the worst, the brunette made it to the family house only to find out her father wanted her to proof read some of his new book. after that the younger alvarez, exhausted from the day, ended up staying the night. 
"no, thank you. oscar got home last night so i'm going to head back to see him." the brunette hoped over beside her father, giving him a side hug. 
"you know i always thought you are oscar would end up together." gabriel mentioned, looking down at his coffee. the brunette had told her father about aiden the previous night. 
olivia rolled her eyes, it was no secret to her or oscar that both their families had expected them to end up together. 
but their relationship wasn't like that. it was purely platonic. 
"i know dad, you and practically the entire piastri family think that. oscar and i are just friends." he only hummed in response. 
olivia poured herself a coffee, heading back to her childhood bedroom to grab her things before waving goodbye to her dad. 
"and don't forget we have saturday night dinner with the piastris'." gabriel yelled across the room as his daughter exited the house. 
"don't worry i won't!" 








olivia didn't live far from her father and their family home so it wasn't a problem for her to walk back to the apartment. the brunette rushed up the stairs to her apartment, banging on the door. 
"jeez liv, don't you have your key?" caleb rubbed his eyes, annoyed by olivia's loud banging. 
the brunette clicked her tongue and waved him off, "where's oscar?" 
"still sleeping." delara popped her head out of the kitchen smiling at the other girl. "go wake him up, i made waffles." 
olivia made a beeline for oscar's room, it was the one right next to hers, discarding her shoes beside the bed as she crawled onto the blanket. she smiled, oscar looked peaceful when he slept. 
her finger raised up to his cheek and she poked him twice. the aussie immediately began to stir but didn't open his eyes. she huffed and resorted to shaking him lightly. 
"oscar... wake up." it was like a click in his brain, oscar's eyes snapped open at the sound of olivia's voice. the argentinian girl giggled when he finally looked at her with wide eyes, still processing where he was. "good morning." 
"where am i?" 
"home." oscar smiled, pushing himself up onto his shoulders. the blanket, that had been up to his neck, slid down exposing his bare shoulders. "delara made waffles, you favourite, so get out of bed!" 
the brunette began to scoot off the bed but was stopped by oscar grabbing her arm, she turned back to see the blanket now down at his waist revealing his toned torso. 
olivia had seen oscar shirtless before; mostly at the beach, but something this time seemed different. his arms looked stronger and his abs were more defined, she could see the indents on his stomach. 
"f1 training looks good on you." she blurted out, surprising herself and oscar. the aussie visibly blushed muttering a small thank you while the argentinian tried to act like the words hadn't accidentally slipped her mouth. "do you need something?" 
oscar looked down at his hand still holding her arm, preventing her from leaving. in all honesty, he, himself, didn't know why he had grabbed her arm. the mclaren driver wracking his brain to think of something to say, "i just wanted to ask how your date went last night." 
olivia instantly lit up, turning her body back to face her best friend, "amazing! he took me karting first and then for dinner on a fucking boat, can you believe that? then he asked me to be his girlfriend—" 
"what?" 
"he asked me to be his girlfriend!" 
"what did you say..." 
"yes, dumbass." olivia rolled her eyes and laughed, "i can't wait for you to meet him next weekend." 
oscar nodded as he forced a smile, "neither can i."
