Chapter 53

                                    

                                          
Hank lay awake with Olivia sleeping next him..he still couldn't believe that she was here, with him.. at last. He wanted to prove to her that it was all worth it, if he could only shift some of the jealousy that was deep inside him. 
Even as she lay asleep next to him, he glanced over to her phone that rest on the side table.. he couldn't resist having a look at it, and reading the messages between her and Tony. This was the jealousy that would stay with Hank, he had to learn to control it, if Tony is going to be apart of her life, he's got to learn how to share her.. he had been so fixed on his own needs that he didn't realise what really needed to be done.. and that's what he promised to himself, to start from tomorrow only making her happy, no matter what his feelings are. 
He carefully placed her phone back down, and lay down beside her.. with a little kiss to the forehead, he whispered to her..
"I'll make everything worth it in the end.. I promise..I love you.."
The next morning, Olivia woke up to an empty bed.. she looked around the room but Hank was nowhere to be seen. She quickly threw on a shirt, and a pair of pants before rushing downstairs.. and that's where she found him in the kitchen. 
"Hey.. Good Morning.." He smiles across to her as she approaches him in the doorway. 
"Morning.." she says with a confused look.. as Hank makes his way over to her, giving her a small kiss on the cheek.. "What's all this?"
"I made you breakfast.." 
"Oh.."'she said in surprise.. not what she was expecting.. 
"I was an asshole last night.. I was so caught up in you being here.. I let my dick think over my heart.. I'm sorry.."
"It's fine.." 
"No.. it's not.. I know how much trouble you went to in making my dinner.. the way I acted was wrong.." He lets his hand fall down to hers, interlocking their fingers, with a soft smile.. she couldn't resist smiling back at him.
"Well thank you.. it looks lovely.."  
The pair sat down to breakfast together, sitting next to each other at the table. Hank couldn't take his eyes off her, he felt completely obsessed with this woman.. she just looked stunning.. and she was his..
"What?" She asks when she notices him staring..
"I'm so lucky aren't I?" 
"What? Why?" 
"Because I never thought I'd get this chance again.." he smiles across to her.. "You being here is just..crazy..and it took me so long to get you back.. I'm just afraid.."
"Afraid? Of what?"
"Losing you again.. Tony.. he.. is usually pretty good at what he wants.." 
"Well.. you said you wouldn't give up on me..so that's why I'm here.. the heart wants what the heart wants.." 
"Very true.." Hank stands taking his finished plate over to the sink.. "I was thinking.."
"Uh.. oh.. don't tell me you want to go away again.." 
"No.. no.. that was a stupid idea.." he laughs.. "I was actually thinking.. if you're not busy today.. we could do something..I have the day off, my client doesn't need me so.. yeah.. why don't we do something together?" 
"When? Today?" 
"Yeah.. what time do you need to pick Joseph up?" He asks curiously catching Olivia off guard.. 
"Oh.. uh.. anytime I think.." 
"Great.. so we can go pick him up.. and we can.. I don't know go to the park or something? I haven't met the boy yet so.."
