Part 1 (2/2)
”s.h.i.+t, I'm sorry I wasn't watching.” I said looking down at a curtain of midnight black hair covering a girl's face. d.a.m.n was she shaking? ”Uh... Are you ok?”
A soft ringing bell like giggle left the girls mouth as her gloved hand pushed at her hair.
Holy sweet Jesus the girl was beautiful and she was laughing her a.s.s off.
Confused and slightly amused I watched tears streamed from her baby blue eyes coating her creamy skin. Her hand fell from her hair touching a red b.u.mp forming on her forehead. Another round of giggles left her mouth and for some reason I felt myself laughing too.
As fast as lightening her hand slapped over her mouth with a look of horror. ”I'm so sorry. I'm not laughing at you it's just I laugh when I'm nervous. It's a thing. Weird I know and now I'm babbling and I wish someone would just shoot me and get it over with.” She finished on a sharp intake of breath.
Feeling guilty because I really did have a loaded gun on me, my laughter stopped and the scowl came back.
With another sharp intake of breath her delicate black eyebrows shot up and her eyes searched my face before running down my body.
Well if she was going to lookaNo Jonah dammit you have no business looking at a clean-cut girl like her. Beauty like that deserves a lot better than anything I could ever give her.
Dropping the hands that still held her arms I bent down to pick up her books. She only had two so I was back up in time to see a pink blush coloring her cheeks. Handing her books back I couldn't help the smirk that lined my lips. She was just too adorable.
”Thanks.” She said with a soft smile that had my heart speeding up and heat rus.h.i.+ng through my body.
Ok time to go.
”Olivia!” The name screamed from a redheaded girl cutting through the parking lot caused the girl to whip her head around.
”Olivia.” I said out loud loving the way her name felt on my tongue as I stepped away from her, jogging the remaining steps to my car.
Chapter 2.
Turning the keys in the lock the door jerked open flinging me face first into a white dress s.h.i.+rt covered front.
I had a minor panic attack as my mind went to this morning with the guy in the suit. G.o.d could not have made a more perfect looking person if he tried, tall, lean with hard muscles that could barely be contained by the material of his expensive suit. Short golden blonde hair that looked like all he did was run his hand through it to make spikes of hair stand up in a beautiful mess. And the eyes, my good G.o.d those eyes, never in my life had I seen anyone with eyes like his. Bright green surrounding the black pupil with a thick bright yellow ring circling the green, but it wasn't just the color. It was the way he looked at me, like I was the only one that could make him smile. In just the short time I stood looking at him I could see he wasn't a person that smiled often, when he let the smile drop a haunted look took over his face sending a sharp pain straight to my heart.
”Olivia!” Ty, my roommate shouted shaking me from my thoughts.
”What?” I said feeling my cheeks turn a bight red.
”I said thank G.o.d your home, Darcy is driving me bat s.h.i.+t crazy.” Pulling back slightly Ty gave me a once over, wigging his eyebrows playfully, ”What were you thinking about?”
”Nothing.” I snapped feeling my embarra.s.sment grow, ”Why?”
Chuckling Ty stared at my chest, ”No reason.”
”I'm cold thank you very much.” I hissed pulling my jacket tightly around my body.
”Sure you are chick!”
Slamming the door I stomped through the small hall into the big open s.p.a.ce that was the living room on the left and the kitchen on the right thinking I should have listened to my mother when she told me not to move in with my best friends.
We lived in a three-bedroom apartment building ten minutes from campus. Straight across the room was a hall that led to three bedrooms and one bathroom that we all had to share.
Dropping my books and purse on the floor Darcy came screaming from her room. ”Yay, you're home!”
Darcy my crazy friend, had out of control curly red hair, freckles dusted across her nose and cheeks and dull dark green eyes. The loudest mouth in the whole world and as crazy as they come.
”Kill me now.” Ty groaned kicking his shoes off as his body dropped over the couch.
I had known Ty since I was five years old. Tall and skinny with brown wavy hair that fell into his dark brown eyes. Ty was the opposite of everything Darcy was, quiet, controlled and not a big fan of anyone he didn't know.
”You and maybe the cranky little s.h.i.+t on the couch are going to Club Risk with me, Friday night.”
Club Risk the hottest and most expensive club in Denver. I had lived my whole life in Denver but had never stepped foot in Club Risk. ”Why are we going to Club Risk?”
”Her flavor of the week is from out of town and wants to hit the hottest clubbing spot.”
”Shut up Ty.” Darcy yelled shooting him a death glare. ”Say you will come Liv, please?”
If it stopped her whining I would do just about anything. ”Sure Darcy, Ty and I will be there.”
”Ty will not be there.” Ty yelled.
Flipping Ty the bird Darcy took off running down the hall screeching out her happiness.
Following her down the hall at a much slower pace I made it into my room just as the phone on my desk began to ring.
Seven o'clock on the dot just like every Monday night.
With a heavy sigh I picked up the phone, ”Father.”
”Did you go to cla.s.s today?” My father snapped down the phone.
h.e.l.lo to you too. ”It's Monday, of course I went to cla.s.s where else would I have been?”
”You never know with you Olivia you could have gotten a wild hair and took off with that out of control friend of yours.” In my whole nineteen years when have I ever gotten a wild hair and took off. ”Anyway what are your plans this weekend?”
You know maybe a drinking binger, might drop out of school to become a stripper, who knows the week just started. ”I haven't thought that far ahead yet.”
”Typical Olivia never thinking of her future.” How the h.e.l.l is this weekend my future? ”Well seeing as you have no plans, I have made some for you.”
