SPOILER!!: List of scenes
Scene 1:
It’s the year 2092 and Esme’s birthday. Oliver arranged to meet her in Hogsmeade since he wanted to see her and give her a birthday present. Later, the two will meet Esme’s sister, Juno and Juno’s boyfriend, Leon. Scene 2: It is the summer holidays, and Esme and Juno have been joined by their boyfriends while staying at their estate in Paris. As part of their time together, there is a lot of sightseeing. On one of these sightseeing trips, Esme has taken her boyfriend to see the Eiffel Tower. Scene 3: A meeting Esme set up so that Olly could meet a fellow Goth, Kitty Valentine. It takes place at the Leaky Cauldron (Main Floor Seating) during the summer of 2092. Scene 4: Valentine's Day meeting in Hogsmeade (2093) Scene 5: Painting in the Park (Summer 2093) Scene 6: Surprise Dinner Date Scene 7: Bun in the oven! Scene 8: Deciding on the right house Scene 9: Oliver and Esme move into their new cottage. Scene 10: Awake with crying baby Emmett.
Esme was in a really good mood as she walked along the street of Hogsmeade. Not only was it a nice day for being the middle of winter, but it was also her birthday. Not just any birthday at that, but her 17th birthday; as of today she was of age and could perform magic outside of Hogwarts. Juno would be in the same boat tomorrow.
With a big smile on her face, she used her wand to make bubbles form, twirling around and around while enjoying them. This was fuuuuuun.
Olly admittedly was rather eager to see Esme. It had been such a long while since he had. Well, if you counted two months to be a while, then it was understandable why he was so eager. He had made plans with her, since they now kept in contact with each other while he was off at WADA, to meet today which happened to be her birthday.
It was cold out but he wasn't that bothered. Olly knew they would be able to get a butterbeer at the Three Broomstick sometime soon. He had just gotten to the Street but he spotted her almost immediately. The guy made his way towards his crush. "Hi, Esme. Happy birthday,'' he said softly.

Hearing her name, Esme knew immediately who it was! Olly! Now she was grinning for an entirely different reason as she stopped spinning and looked right at him. "Hey! Thank you. I was hoping that you would get here soon." Now they could spend some time together. He could also meet Juno properly. This was important since she had been talking about him a lot since they had met up at Christmas.
Yep, she was definitely crushing on him. How could she not when he was so amazing?
SPOILER!!: Esmeee! <3

That smile told him Esme was happy to see him but there was no way she was happier than he was. Oh yeah? She was? “I couldn’t keep the birthday girl waiting.’’ Olly thought she looked extra beautiful today. “I’ve got something for you. Could you hold out your wrist?’’ He had put a lot of thought into his present for her and had taken his time to pick it out.
“Have you got anything special planned today?’’ Olly was secretly hoping that he would be able to spend at least most of the day with her but then again, she had her twin and her own friends too. He waited until Esme held out her hand then slipped the bracelet onto it. “Hope you like it,’’ he added with a shy smile.

Esme could not stop smiling now that Olly was here, and there was no way that she was complaining about it. He was the bright spot on an already amazing day and hopefully they could spend a lot of time together since he would be going back to WADA soon. Letters were nice, but hanging out was even better!
He had a present for her?? Esme was deeply touched as she held her wrist out for him. She was excited to see what it was! "Well, I'm meeting my sister and her maybe but not quite boyfriend at the Three Broomsticks and I was hoping that you would join us?" It would make her really happy if he did. She had set it up so that he would meet her sister properly.
Looking down, she gasped. It was a unicorn charm bracelet. "Thank you so much, Olly. I love it. It's perfect! You remembered that unicorns are my favourite." Now she was about to melt into a puddle and it was all his fault!

It was as Olly suspected. Esme did have plans with her sister but he didn’t mind. It did, however, made him feel great when she invited him to hang out with them. “As long as I’m not intruding, I’d like that.’’ It would be great to see Juno again and to see this guy that could potentially be her boyfriend. “I haven’t seen Juno since I left Hogwarts. It’ll be good to catch up with her.’’ Though he’d only be there to spend time with Esme.
Esme’s reaction made him grin like an idiot. The shyness had vanished in an instant. “Of course I remembered. I remember everything about you.’’ Damn. He had really said that out aloud. Olly quickly tried to bring the topic back to the bracelet. “You’re not allowed to remove it,’’ he told her half seriously, half jokingly.

Why on earth would Olly think he could ever intrude? "Oh, no! I want you to come." Esme would be sad if he didn't, but she would have understood. It was a good think that he seemed to be interested in her offer. This would be fun and then Juno would know Olly properly after all that she had been told about him. "Yes, I think so! Maybe you two can be friends." Even if her sister didn't socialize that much; something she had in common with Olly.
He was being so sweet to her. Esme was so touched that he had remembered things about her and had thought to get her a really nice present. It made her feel so happy and appreciated. "That means a lot to me," she said before giving him a kiss. She had wanted to do that for a couple months now and hoped he wouldn't be offended by it. "I promise I won't," she added with a laugh.

“Great. Then I surely will join you guys.’’ And thoughts of intruding on Esme’s plans vanished just like that. “Yeah. I think we can be. I mean, I did speak a few times to her before but since I didn’t usually talk to a lot of persons…” If he remembered right, Juno was the same as well. But he wanted to talk of Esme right now. “Did you get a unicorn for your birthday as yet?’’ he asked as a joke.
Olly was completely caught off guard by the kiss. He went completely still for a moment then touched the spot where Esme had kissed him. That cheek felt considerably warm now. It took at his self control not to kiss her back- on the lips. Because that’s what he wanted to do… kiss her. He smiled happily, realising he was not feeling the least bit shy. But what did the kiss mean? Was it simply one to show her appreciation? Did she have a crush on him?
Maybe he was reading too much into this.

Yay! He was joining them! Esme was happier than ever now because Olly didn't feel like he would be intruding on them. "Wonderful! I know, but you always spoke to me." She smiled at him, but then she had been smiling for the entire time. Though with his joke she was laughing again. "Crazy to imagine, but no. I'm expecting I will have a bunch soon enough though, so I am okay with that." Once she started her career and everything; she had already told him all about that.
It was good that he didn't seem to mind the kiss, going so far as to smile and touch his cheek. Esme hadn't been sure if he would like it especially seeing how shy he was. Seemed like that wasn't a problem at all. That made her the happiest yet because she really wanted to do this. "I really like you, Olly." This time she gave him a proper kiss. Juno was stupidly excited! it was her twin sister's birthday. Yes they had separate birthdays by only 15 minutes; it was the coolest thing ever. But she was so excited because this was the first birthday she would spend with her boyfriend, and she got her sister THE best present ever and she couldn't wait to give it to her.
Juno was so excited that she was literally pulling Leon through the pub to find an open table. "C'mon, Cap! We gotta find a table. OH, THERE'S ONE!" She quickly rushed over to a table with four chairs, though they wouldn't need that fourth one because it was just going to be the three of them. Juno, Leon, and Esme! What a great day!
Juno patted the seat next to her for Leon to sit in. She placed her sister's wrapped birthday present on the center of the table. She couldn't wait for Esme to open it. She just knew her sister would love it.

She quickly rushed over to a table with four chairs, though they wouldn't need that fourth one because it was just going to be the three of them. Juno, Leon, and Esme! What a great day!
Juno patted the seat next to her for Leon to sit in. She placed her sister's wrapped birthday present on the center of the table. She couldn't wait for Esme to open it. She just knew her sister would love it.
Leon was chuckling softly as Juno legit pulled him into the pub, he wasn't even lollygagging! He was walking as fast as he could and it still didn't match her excited pace. "I'm coming Quicksilver! Just remember I don't have super speed! I'm just strong. " He said with a grin at his girlfriend!
He settled down into the seat next to Juno, his leather jacket creaking as he did so and put the present he and Az had gotten for Esme on the table as well.
"As excited I am about your sisters birthday, I'm even more excited about yours! " He said with a grin at her as he leaned down and gave a gentle kiss on the cheek. He had had help from Az and he hoped she was going to like her birthday present!
He slipped his hand into hers under the table and looked around.. "Want anything to eat or drink? Or should I wait until Esme gets here? " He asked her softly. Olly was going to be outright honest with himself. He was more confused than before about what had just happened. Many questions were running through his mind and which were not limited to: how long had Esme liked him? Why hadn’t she told him?... she was way more outgoing than he was. And… did this mean that they could date now? Alright, so maybe the last question was the most important to him.
Before he knew it, they had arrived at the Three Broomsticks. Using his free hand, he held open the door for Esme in true Hufflepuff style. “I see Juno. There she is.’’ Olly nodded in the direction in which he had spotted the other Darcy and a guy that could only be Leon. Still holding Esme’s hand, he began his way to their table, his brain and mind still reeling. Sooooo Olly wasn't saying anything back to her. Esme guessed that meant he didn't like her back because she had just told him that she had a crush on him?? Okay, she was going to try and not look disappointed right now even though she was. This was not his fault and he didn't have to return the feelings.
She nodded as he pointed out her sister, and Esme made a beeline towards Juno and Leon. "Hey, sis! Leon!" Of course Juno got a big hug because even if they saw each other all the time, this was a special occasion. It was her birthday and she was trying to think of something other than being kind of rejected. Juno looked back at Leon with an evil grin. She was faster than he was on broom and feet. But she was extra excited today because it was one of the most important days of the year to her. "That's ok. I like strong." She grinned hugely and gave him a flirty wink.
Juno smiled at the two presents side by side. She really couldn't wait for her sister to open them. Though she didn't know what Leon and Az got her sister. Juno leaned into his kiss on her cheek. She wished his lips could stay there forever. "Awe, I am glad you are and I am too. But it's hard to explain the connection that Es and I have. I have had a best friend my whole life. So her birthday is just as exciting to me as mine is. Trust me I will be even more excited for my own tomorrow." She said with a chuckle.
Juno gave Leon's hand a little squeeze as soon as he put it in hers. It was so nice to be able to hold his hand. It made her feel safe. Just as she was about to reply to Leon's question her sister and some guy that looked really familiar walked in. They were holding hands...but immediately she felt it. As soon as her sister looked at her. She brushed it off maybe it was nothing. She smiled and waved at the unexpected guy, who she was assuming was Olly, and her sister.
Letting go of Leon's hand, she stood up and threw out her arms for her sister. "Hey Es! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" She said with a giggle, and immediately wrapped her arms around her sister. The closer they were the more connected, and she instantly felt what her sister was feeling. Disappointment and rejection. This guy had rejected her sister? OH, BUDDY HE WAS ON HER LIST NOW! She released her sister, and as soon as she was out of ear shot leaned over to Leon, whispering where only he could hear it, "Somethings wrong."
"You must be Olly?" Juno said as she put her hand out to shake his. "Do I know you from somewhere?" He looked so familiar. She was really trying to be cordial....even if she really wanted to punch this guy for making her sister upset. Leon grinned at Juno as she spoke and he winked back.."Good! Cause that's what I am.. and while I run.. it's more for long distance and stamina than speed. " He said as he saw her flirty grin and nearly blushed..
Gahhh.. his head felt all melty now and.. what was happening?
He managed to get his head back together as she spoke about her bond with Esme, "That sounds.. amazing. I'm glad you have the bond you two do. " He said with a smile. He hoped he would one day be able to have that sort of bond with Azura.. they were already getting close.. and he was grateful for that. Siblings were so cool!
Leon blinked as he turned and saw Esme entering with.. a boy? And they were holding hands? His eyebrows rose a bit.. uhh.. was this a recent development? Should he say congrats? Did Juno know about this?
His mind was reeling as he stood and smiled. "Hello Esme! Happy birthday! " He said with an easy grin before turning to the dark haired boy next to her. "Hey, I'm Leon Kennedy, Juno's boyfriend. " He said with a wide grin as he stuck his hand out to shake when..
Huh?
He caught Juno's whisper and his grey eyes looked confused...
Something was wrong? Olly was too caught up to have heard what Esme had asked him out on the street and even more distracted now that they were in the company of Juno and Leon. Esme received a huge hug from her sister, for which Olly had to let go of her hand. He didn’t mind though. It was nice to see sibling love except it made him miss his own sister like crazy!
“Uh, hi.’’ He smiled awkwardly at Juno and Leon. Meeting people was not his thing. “Yes, I was at Hogwarts too but I graduated a almost three years ago.’’ Would he be offended if Juno didn’t remember him? Not one bit. Olly had always been one to be in the shadows. He shook her hand heartily and tried desperately not to wince. When he took back his hand, it was throbbing. Did Juno workout or something? Ow ow ow!
“Hi, Leon.’’ Olly gingerly stuck his hand out to shake Leon’s. He wouldn’t crush his hand, yeah? “Oliver McDean but you can call me Olly.’’ Everyone did, anyway. “How’s it going?’’ And was he missing something? Why was Juno whispering to Leon? Esme was trying hard not to be sad, especially since Olly hadn't actually SAID anything to her, but it was hard not to take his non-response as rejection. She had been so sure he had a crush on her by the way he liked the kiss, but maybe that was all it was. Regardless it wasn't his fault and wouldn't change the way that she felt about him. After they had met up around Christmas she had found herself liking him more and more and wanting to be his girlfriend; something that she was sure Juno had picked up on.
BIG SISTER HUG.
"Thanks, Juno!" With a somewhat forced smile, her attention then turned to the new boyfriend. "Thank you, Leon!" It was a good thing that Esme was focused on him instead of Juno and Olly, because it really would have upset her even further if she saw His hand being squeezed hard!
Seeing Juno whispering to Leon, Esme instantly picked up on something. It was the connection that they had always shared and it made it so there really weren't any secrets between the two of them. Well, she wanted Juno to like Olly! No point in mentioning the onion incident as that might be a little awkward. Unfortunately it was probably the only way that Juno would remember him... "Olly goes to WADA now! He's studying painting and told me that I can see some of his work." Trying to make things more comfortable AND distract herself at the same time.
Esme was rather proud of herself right now. She didn't care why he ran...just so long as he ran with her. And just like that he was putty. It made Juno grin super huge. She loved that he liked her so much that he blushed whenever she looked at him a certain way. It made her feel good that she could make him blush.
She didn't know how to explain this one to him. What she and Esme had was more than just a normal sibling bond. "It is amazing. And it's more than just being close to one another...we kinda have this....extra sense." She gave him a look that said she would explain more later. It would take time to explain it to him.
Leon looked just as confused as Juno felt she shrugged and shook her head, indicating she had no idea this person was coming. But she had to be cordial.
OOPS! She realized as she was letting go of his hand that she had gripped Olly! She hadn't meant to, but she was seriously upset because her sister was upset and she couldn't help it sometimes. Then when he said he graduated a few years ago the memory struck her. "Oh, my gosh. You're the guy that dumped the onions all over Esme!" She said it with a chuckle, despite the anger in her heart.
She could sense her sister going through so many emotions right now. Saddness, worry, fear, disappointment, rejection, were just a few. She felt confusion too...but there was also a smidgen of hope...even if it was burried deep. This guy better prove to her that he wanted to be with his sister or a things were going to go south quickly.
"You're welcome, sis." She watched as Esme exchanged greatings with Leon. She was so happy Esme liked him. If she didn't approve it would be really hard for her to be with him known her sister didn't like him. But thankfully she did. Oh, and artist. Now the look made sense. He looked like a Vampire. Juno almost wanted to stake him...almost. "That's great! Why don't we all have a seat and we can decide on food or open presents!" Juno said with a wink hoping her sister would want a pick me up!
She looked over to Leon and gave him a wink that said I'll tell you later, and sat back down at the table. This was going to be an interesting afternoon.

Esme was so confident that her dad was going to see things their way and it seeped off onto him. He nodded. Mr Darcy did like him. He was not at all the intimidating man Olly thought he was. "Summer can't get here quickly enough for me,'' was his response but then he looked inquiringly at Esme. "You'll miss your friends a lot, no doubt.'' He hadn't anyone to miss that much since he used to keep to himself but Esme was popular he was sure.
Following his girlfriend's lead, he too began eating. The cheesecake was yummy and one of the best he had ever had. Oliver smiled, pleased that Esme was so eager. "We can definitely do all of that. Plus we can visit some other places if you'd like.'' With working a part time job, he was able to save up on his own. Sure, he could ask his dad for money but who wanted to flaunt their riches? Not this young man.
He continued eating. "What else do you want to do? We've got the rest of the day for ourselves.'' And he was looking forward to this!

"It can't for me either, Esme said with a smile. Olly's next statement surprised her, however. Of course Esme had been thinking about that a fair bit, but it wasn't going to change anything. "I will. Especially my best friends like Rachel, Kitty, and Azura." The ones who would be staying at Hogwarts after she was gone. "But it's okay. There are holidays, letters, and Hogsmeade. We will stay in touch." Yep. There was no doubt in her mind that everything would work out. She just wanted to live with Olly and go to university. Maybe she would like learning there more than at Hogwarts. No living there, and no threat of death hanging over her head; now that was win win!
Oooh, this cheesecake was going to be gone in no time. It was yummy and Esme had inherited her dad's appetite just like Juno. "Sure, baby. Is there anywhere in particular that you want to go?" As someone who enjoyed travelling and liked spending time with him even more than that, she would be game for anything! Well, maybe not ANYTHING. There were some places that she just did not like or want to see.
Olly's question made her thoughtful. It really was true that they had the whole day together. "I'm happy doing anything with you. We could go on a walk and maybe we could go to Honeydukes. I could get snacks that aren't chocolate." That would be great. "Is there anything you want to do?"
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
See? It had been no surprise for him that Esme would miss her friends. No doubt she'd be missed a lot too. "Of course. Maybe you can have them over sometime if you like.'' At his apartment if she wanted. He did know that Esme went to sleepovers at times and his apartment was good enough for one.
She had a big appetite and Olly liked that about her. "Want another slice?'' he asked. His own cheesecake was just about gone. "Australia,'' was the prompt reply. "Have you ever been there? I haven't but it would be a great place to tour and do some paintings.'' He waited to hear his girlfriend's thoughts.
"A walk sounds perfect, baby. Whenever you're ready we could get going.'' They were both dressed suitably for the weather so it wouldn't hurt to be out. "I'll go where you want to.'' Really, he was just happy being with her, it didn't matter where.

The thought of having her friends over at the apartment made Esme smile. It would be amazing to see her friends and they could meet Olly. So far Kitty was the only one who had, and it seemed that they were going to be good friends as well. That made her happy. "Yes, that would be great. I would love to have them over at our place and they can stay the night sometimes!" Sleepovers were wonderful and there was no doubt in her mind that she would start living with him come summer. The parents had to allow it and if they didn't, she would do it anyway because she was determined.
Nod. "Yes, that would be great." Esme did not feel bad about having a big appetite. While she didn't eat a lot of really BAD food, she did love to eat and the cheesecake was certainly wonderful. Taking a sip of the coffee, she had to say that it tasted just a good. It definitely was a good idea for them to have come here for their date. Really she was happy going anywhere with her boyfriend, but yummy food was never a bad thing. "I would love to go to Australia. I've never been there before and I have heard that it's beautiful. Plus I want to see kangaroos and koala bears!" Obviously by that she meant ones not in a zoo, but then she didn't really like zoos at all. "We will have all of the fun down under!" Beam.
It seemed to be settled that they were going on a walk and Esme was perfectly fine with that. "Awesome! We can go as soon as we finish eating and having our coffees." It was nice and warm here and they had loads of time until she had to get back to the castle. The thought of leaving him until Easter made her sad.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
His suggestion about having Esme's friends over made her happy and Olly loved it. This is what his aim was: to always keep her happy and smiling. One of those goals at least. That aside, now they could talk about other things. But first, more cheesecake. He was gone one second but returned a few minutes later with two slices. "Here you are, baby.'' Did he mention that he loved how much of a healthy appetite Esme had?
Oliver smiled widely at her excitement and talk of Australia. "That's where we'll be going then. I'll be sure to get paintings of you, kangaroos and koalas done.'' Hm. Would this be a goal of theirs? To tour as many countries as they can? Olly could see them doing this! "Anywhere else you want to travel to?''
Her suggestion was good enough for him. Olly wanted to spend all of his time with her today. It would be months again before they saw each other.

Everything seemed to be settled, and Esme was excited to think about the sleepovers that she would be having with some of her friends. Even though she was 18 now, she still loved doing this kind of thing. Really she was still a kid at heart and enjoyed having fun. Blowing bubbles was another thing that she loved to do; it wasn't just for children. Anyway Olly was getting her more cheesecake!! "Thanks baby." Wouldn't take long for her to put this one away as well!!
Taking another sip of her coffee, she thought about all the fun possibilities. "We can make lots of paintings on our trip. Too bad we couldn't take a baby koala home with us. That was rather sad, but there was no way it could happen. For one thing Esme thought it wasn't legal, and for another she had no idea how to take care of one. "I'd also love to go somewhere in South America!" Which country though? That was the question.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
"You're more than welcome.'' Olly watched her eat, hardly paying attention to his own cheesecake. Honestly, he loved watching her. Then again, it was more of admiring her like he had while at Hogwarts. This time he needn't do it from far which was a huge relief to him. She wanted a baby koala? "You might end up spending more time with it than me,'' he said and tried not to crack a smile. "How about this? We'll make a list of the places we want to travel and the things we want to do together. Like a bucket list?''
Olly squeezed her hand in return then stood up, having finished eating. "Are you ready to go?'' Thank Merlin they had quite a few hours ahead of them. The time would be well spent together.

Esme smiled at Olly before starting on that second cheesecake. It didn't bother her in the least that he was admiring her; quite the opposite, actually. She rather liked it. He just couldn't take his eyes off of her. "Of course I'd spend more time with it," she teased before taking a sip of coffee. Joking around with him was fun and she knew that Olly was fine with it. He teased her too after all. It was nice being able to fool around with each other in this way. "A bucket list sounds great! I'm sure we could come up with all sorts of things to do in the places we want to go." This was the kind of fun she liked to have even though she hadn't ever done a bucket list before.
Anyway they were finished and ready to go. Esme nodded, standing up as Olly did. Taking his hand, she led him away from Puddifoot's and into the street.

Scene 5
It's the Summer of 2093 and Olly decided to take Esme out to the park so that she could do a little painting...
"This seems to be the perfect spot.'' Oliver had found him and Esme a shady tree and he set down her art supplies. It really was a perfect spot because there was a pond not far from them. And in this pond there were some ducklings with their mother swimming about. "Let's see you put those lessons I gave you to good use.'' Grinning, he began to set up her easel.
Olly had brought his camera, only just acquiring one. You see, he had only just gotten into photography and he loved it! So there were now two things he was passionate about (aside from Esme). "You do the painting and I'll take pictures of you.'' Maybe he was teasing, maybe he wasn't.
♥s her SS family l Wifey is MINE | Naughty Niffler l Whittysaur l #awkwardturtle<#
So this was it. A lovely day at the park with her boyfriend and the prospect of painting amongst nature.
Could things get any more perfect?
Esme didn't think so.
"Yes, this is exactly where I want to be. Now I can paint the mother duck and her babies." That was probably Olly's intention, but Esme was agreeing with it. She wanted to try her best and paint the scene in front of her and while she wasn't as talented as he was, she had learned quite a bit and was sure that the end result of her work would look really good. Yep, she was just full of self-confidence right now. "I am going to blow you away," she said cheerfully as she watched him set up the easel.
Ohh, he was going to take pictures of her!
Olly might have been teasing her, but he might not have been given how into photography he was now. It was great, because she had enjoyed it for a while now, and now he was having fun with it too! He was definitely going to have the more professional approach, however, as she mainly took photos of things like vacations. "Maybe I can strike some fun poses while you do it. Artists have fun, so it would work." And he would know that she was right about that because he was an artist.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Olly chuckled. The mother ducks and her babies would make a wonderful painting. One that he would hang rather proudly in the apartment. Only he didn't tell Esme this as yet. He would surprise her with the actual act when the time came. "I have no doubt that you will, Esme. I can't wait to see what you come up with.'' Oliver was very confident in his woman.
He fidgeted with the camera then raised it to his eyes, looking at Esme through it. "A few poses would be great, baby. You're very photogenic.'' That she was. "The light's perfect so the picture will be great.'' Lowering the camera, Olly grinned. "You can get started whenever you're ready.''

Olly's confidence in her never ceased to make Esme smile, and she beamed at him as he finished setting things up forher . This was going to be a very nice painting, she could feel it already. With all the additional things he had taught her so far over the summer, she had improved since the last time she had done a serious painting. That one she had given him for Valentine's Day and was now hanging up in the apartment.
Everything was set up, and she moved in front of the easel, though of course she didn't get started on painting just yet. Nope, she gave a few poses first, knowing that he was enjoying the opportunity to take pictures of her. He was also very attractive right now - but then when wasn't he? A wink was thrown into the mix, and then Esme was ready to start. "Okay, here goes!"
First things first, she put blue on the canvas, though not BRIGHT blue, it was softer. This would be the start for the sky and the water. That was a good starting point.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Wasn't she just the most beautiful young woman in the world?
Olly was always tempted to stop whatever he was doing and simply stare at Esme. Okay, he admitted it. He would do just that at times but only because it was difficult not to. She was simply breathtaking, more than any sketch or painting that he could ever create. Nevertheless, he did take those pictures. She deserved to be a model. Did she ever realise that? "Have you ever thought of modelling?'' he asked.
The camera was lowered as he stepped closer to watch her getting started. Yes, he was paying to the canvas.
♥s her SS family l Wifey is MINE | Naughty Niffler l Whittysaur l #awkwardturtle<#
This was so much fun, but then Esme always had the best times of her life when she was with Olly. Things were beyond perfect, and she knew that they would get better and better. How could they not when she was with him?
Happily she continued posing for a bit longer as he snapped away. Nothing wrong with having a good time, and she loved helping him out; this was going to give him some more practice for photography. Olly was going to be the best photographer ever just like he was the best painter ever. It was just a fact in Esme's opinion. "Oh, I haven't really thought about it ever. You really think I should try for it?" Wow. Thinking about it, modeling sounded like a lot of fun, though she wasn't too sure that she was cut out for it. Maybe painting was more for her.
Once she was satisfied with the blue, Esme started working on the fluffy clouds. She used the brush in the way that Olly had taught her, and felt that she had a good combination of colour and texture going on. Pleased with that, she moved on to the trees, figuring that she would work more on the sky as she went. Mixing shades of green and yellow together, she started adding them in, creating a beautiful mix of colours. The trunks were to be added in later, as was the water. First things first she wanted to get the other details in.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
These pictures were going to be the best ever. Olly decided there and then that he was going to get an album specially for shots of Esme. The shots would all be moving, of course. Where was the fun in them being still? These were going to be the best memories for years to come! He nodded without hesitation. "But that's only if you want to. You should consider it.'' He was still well aware of her plans that involved unicorns.
While Esme got busy, Oliver took some pictures of the park itself. The ducks were a must as were some birds and the swing set that kids had fun on. After a while, he peered over Esme's shoulder. "You're a fast learner, baby. I'd better look out because the student could be better than the teacher.''
♥s her SS family l Wifey is MINE | Naughty Niffler l Whittysaur l #awkwardturtle<#
The idea was now in Esme's head and she was seriously considering it. A bonus was that her dad still did modeling from time to time, though not as often as he used to. That meant he had contacts and could probably arrange something for her if she asked him. "It sounds like fun! I think I might try it out. But if I go, I want you to come with me." She wanted Olly there with her, and she was sure that he would like the experience seeing as he was getting into photography. In her opinion he could be a model as well because she thought he was the most attractive guy in the world, but she knew that he would prefer being behind the camera as opposed to in front of it.
Her painting was coming along amazingly already, and Esme just knew that she would be proud of the end result. Smiling, she began working on the trunks of the trees. "Oh no. I don't think I'll ever be as good as you, baby." He was the REAL painter even though she had always enjoyed doing it.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Olly couldn't help but smile. He loved that his girlfriend was always ready to take on a challenge. Even more, he liked it that she took his suggestion. She made up in this way for his shyness; it was exactly them balancing each other out. They were the perfect fit! He was touched that she wanted him to accompany her and truthfully, he wanted to see her first hand as a model... or a potential model. "Of course. Hopefully I'll bring you all the luck. Do you think your parents would support you or they'd think you're trying to tackle too many careers at once?''
Oliver laughed. "You flatter me.'' Finding it impossible to resist, he leaned in to kiss her cheek. Yes, he had checked out beforehand to see if there was anyone watching them. He may be comfortable with a little PDA but not too much as yet. Olly was hoping that would change but Esme never seemed to minded his shyness so over time, the thought had faded.
♥s her SS family l Wifey is MINE | Naughty Niffler l Whittysaur l #awkwardturtle<#
Seeing Olly smile ALWAYS made Esme happier; and that was something because her happiest times were with him. "You always bring me luck, baby." She had known he would like going with her, and she would always think he would be a good model; he wasn't the only one who did the staring in this relationship. "I think they will be okay with it because they know that I can pace myself. I have my internship and my magical horse therapy to look forward to, and I'll try not to get overwhelmed with everything." She just liked to do EVERYTHING was all.
Esme beamed as he laughed. "It's the truth. You are the expert painter." And she was his student/inspiration and that made Esme happy. The cheek kiss was surprising, but well appreciated. She wanted to kiss him, but knew that he was shy about doing things in public, so instead she hugged him. There was nothing wrong with that.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
"I'm your lucky charm,'' Olly stated happily. Wasn't that a cereal? He remembered briefly hearing about it. "Just as you're mine.'' He was incredibly proud of Esme of the fact that she was willing and ready to take on so much in life. He would be behind her every step of the way; he was going to be that supportive boyfriend. "If for some reason they're being stubborn about it, I'll be there to talk things out with them. Just as long as you don't abandon me when you get busy.'' That last bit was a joke.
"I'll take the compliment,'' Olly said. He wasn't truly an expert as yet as he was still studying at WADA. However, it did please him even further with the hug. Little displays of affection in public never bothered him. "I think I'm distracting you.'' Which hadn't been his intention.
♥s her SS family l Wifey is MINE | Naughty Niffler l Whittysaur l #awkwardturtle<#
Mmmm, lucky charms... Suddenly Esme was starting to feel hungry even though she was thinking about something completely different than what they were actually talking about. "I think we need to buy some more cereal before we go home." She was just saying because now she wanted Lucky Charms and they didn't have any at the apartment. "I know I am, darling. And I am happy to be your good luck charm." She knew that he was REALLY going to take the art world by storm; already he was working to make a name for himself. "You can definitely talk to them if need be." Even though it was probably not going to be an issue at all. "Buuuuut I had been planning to abandon you. No fair." HAHA! She smirked, joking right back.
Olly was a good boyfriend for accepting her compliment. Well, it was one of the ways that he was a good boyfriend; there were several others. "Good, because I really think it's true. You have learned so much and have come a long way. You are the most amazing painter." And Esme had already told him how proud she was. "You always distract me." Wiggling her eyebrows, she beamed before getting back to her little project.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Olly laughed. Esme's comment about buying cereal before they headed home was so random yet somewhat similar to what he was thinking about. "Sure, we'll get you all the cereal you want.'' He liked spoiling his woman like that. "And you'll always be my lucky charm, baby.'' The young man meant every word he said. That tone in Esme's voice told him that she was joking with him. "What if I won't let you leave?'' Here was tough Olly! Tough was was he was not physically.
"So much flattery! I need to get used to this.'' Because as talented as Olly was, no one ever flattered him so much. There were the compliments from his professors, friends and family but his favourites were from Esme. "Oh. I'm sorry, miss. I didn't mean to.'' Smiling, he stepped back. "Carry on.''
♥s her SS family l Wifey is MINE | Naughty Niffler l Whittysaur l #awkwardturtle<#
BEAM. Esme was happy because they could get some cereal. It was all Olly's fault for making her want Lucky Charms. Hehe. "What a good boyfriend. I think I might keep you." Another joke, because she had decided that she would keep him forever ago. "This makes me really happy, especially since it sounds like I'm staying with you forever." Because he wasn't going to let her go. This was the best prospect EVER, and tough Olly was incredibly attractive. Not that he wasn't all the time or anything because he WAS.
'Good, because I am never going to stop." Look at her being the most supportive girlfriend in the world. Esme was going to go to all of his exhibitions and promote his work EVERYWHERE. She was also going to continue to be his inspiration and model forever. "I like it though! You're my favourite distraction." Giggling, she worked on painting the pond.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Olly laughed. "Were you considering dumping me?'' He knew all too well that this wasn't true and he had all the confidence in the world that there would never be a day when they broke up. It was just something he knew. It seemed it was something that Esme had considered too. "I think we just might be staying together forever.''
That got another laugh from Olly. "I'm just going to b causally here and putting my interest in something other than you for now.'' Back to taking pictures he went. But of course he could not keep from admiring Esme's work at times. It was quite clear that he couldn't keep his eyes off of her for a long time.
♥s her SS family l Wifey is MINE | Naughty Niffler l Whittysaur l #awkwardturtle<#
Olly had Esme giggling again, though it didn't last for too long before she became serious. "I love you way too much for that." Not that he hadn't been aware of her joke; he certainly was confident in things just the way that she was; he hadn't even needed to tell her as much for her to know. "Good, we had better Oliver McDean." Hehe. She was in such a silly mood right now. Once more she gave him a hug, knowing that it was much better than a kiss at a time like this - aka when they were in public.
"Of cooooooourse. You take lots of pictures, baby." And then she would get to see them all later. Yay. Olly was getting in a lot of practice for his photography and soon enough he would be a master of that as well as painting. Speaking of painting... she frowned slightly in concentration as she continued to work. Hopefully it wouldn't take too much longer for her to finish, but she wasn't exactly rushing either.
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
"I know that one hundred percent, baby.'' Olly loved it how Esme got serious now. It made him realise yet again about just how much she was serious about their relationship. Relationships take effort and they put put that effort in their relationship. He had a lot of confidence that this would last forever. This time, Olly caught her and held her in a light hug. "I love you,'' he told her softly.
___________
Smiling broadly, Olly focused his attention back on his photography. He took his time before snapping any, getting in a perfect position so that the picture would look its best. The lighting among other things always influenced how an image looked. Though Esme still distracted him.
