15 The Search for Ms. Right Begins (1/2)
Olivia dragged her tired body slowly towards her bed, her plushy bed looked so inviting so she did a ceremonial face plant.The trip back felt long and awkward, she couldn't believe how excited her friends were over the fact that her dad wanted to start dating again.Olivia couldn't help feeling a little guilty, her dad's choice was probably forced because of her actions on Friday.
She knew her dad tried his best to be there for her in every possible way but somethings were just to hard to talk about with him, so over the years she kept everything bottled up secretly doing her own research so she could avoid having 'those' conversations with him.
Olivia looked at the time on her phone, it was late and she really needed to get some sleep for tomorrow.Luckily her dad arranged for her to have Sunday off as their was going to be an emergency family meeting.
Olivia rolled off her bed and landed on top her shaggy salt and pepper rug.She hoped the fall would bring some adrenaline into her body so she could have enough energy to change.She hauled herself of the floor, changed into a simple night gown, hooked up her phone to the charger and tucked herself into bed.The moment she laid her head on her favorite pillow she was out for the remainder of the night.
Morning came.Olivia was already at the dinning table finishing up her breakfast when Blair and Autumn walked in.”Morning!” she greeted happily”Morning” Blair responded ”Great morning!” Autumn said as she skipped towards Olivia, once she was close enough she latched herself on top of Olivia's head and went in for a snuggle.
”Well someone is extra happy today.”Blair said with a giant grin on her face.”Nope.”Autumn said as her face peeked out from Olivia's hair ”It's a big day today.Her dad is officially going on the market and I want Olivia start off the day knowing we love her.”
”Why do I even assume things with you.” Blair said as she shook her head ”Well whatever, I wanted to give her a hug too anyways.”
”Thanks guys”
....
It was painful, way too painful!Olivia never knew how high her dad's standards were when looking for a woman.Thank goodness she wasn't doing this on her own!Uncle Robin had come by the house to help 'analyze” a huge pile of files, all detailing information about potential candidates for her dad to chose from and decided to drag along his wife Amy for moral support.
Robin threw his pile of files up in the air and sank back into the sofa.”You are impossible!Absolutely ridiculous!Why the hell are your standards so high!Did you even have standards when you started to date my sister?!” Robin groaned, he placed his hand over his eyes and began to whine ”Look I brought you the files you wanted.I spent 24 hours straight piecing together basic data on every woman in this damn city who is single and are between the ages of early 30's to late 40's and now you want us to narrow it down for you?!”
Avery threw his pile of files onto the coffee table, he looked absolutely lost and hurt.Turned his gaze to Amy and with giant puppy dog eyes said ”Your husband is right... I took to much of your time already.Please go home I can take care of things on me own.”
