55 Valentines Day! (1/2)
Avery kept his word to Loreley and Laila, he each found them a respective places to try and nurture their dreams.Though Agni was against the idea for the girls to separate from each other, she reluctantly agreed.
The week went by in a flash and it was finally Valentine's day.The school was bustling about with exuberant energy as students were running around delivering treats, cards and making confessions.
Olivia was busy stabbing her her food with her fork in the cafeteria, while Rodan kept her company. ”I wish I was like you Rodan.” Olivia said with a groan, as she spun the meatball around with her fork. ”What do you mean?” he asked as he took a sip of his tea.Olivia sighed ”You seem perfectly ok with other guys confessing to Autumn while I need to distract myself so I don't go on a rampage.”
Rodan gave her a soft chuckle ”You do realize we are talking about Autumn right.” He placed his cup down and looked at her seriously ”She has already rejected every guy that came up to her in advance and right now she's giving a lethal dose of venomous words to the girls that are trying to confess to me, so what do I need to worry about?” he said candidly.
”My goodness Rodan you have become quite the wicked one haven't you?”Olivia laughed.Rodan flashed her a sinister smile ”Well of course!My wife has trained me well.” Olivia laughed harder and felt a lot better about their initial talk.She gave Rodan her biggest smile ”Thanks for cheering me up.” Rodan shrugged his shoulders ”Not sure what you mean.Even though we both know Eli is devoted to only you so there is no need to worry.”
Olivia slumped onto the table ”Ya... but he's been hiding things from me.He hasn't told me why he's been meeting up with River and I gotta say I'm worried.” Rodan froze at her words, he tried to look at her face but she hide it in her arms ”How do you know he's meeting up with her?” he said cautiously.
Olivia peeked up from her arms and looked at him sadly ”Quinn told me.” Rodan slammed his fist against the table ”He's still approaching you!Has he done anything to you?Have you told Eli?!” he demanded as he narrowed his eyes.
Olivia was touched that he felt so protective ”You must really love Autumn to want to take care of me too.” she told him with a smile.Rodan became furious ”Of course I do!She sees you as family and I don't want to see her cry!Now answer my question is he still approaching you!” he yelled.
Olivia sighed, shook her head no and pulled out her phone.She placed it on the table and once Rodan sat down she slid it across to him.Rodan looked at the screen and saw the loads of text messages she had been receiving.His face became pale as he flipped through the messages and images.
Once he was done he passed the phone back to her.Olivia gave him a bitter sweet smile ”And he still hasn't asked me to the dance.”
...
It was finally time and the Steel girls had gotten themselves ready.Since Eli never asked her to the dance she thought she would do things a little differently and asked her sisters to be her dates for the evening.
Laila and Loreley were excited that they could go but they had nothing to wear.Avery had their backs and ordered the girls all new dresses for the evening.He patiently waited in the foyer as they got ready, to his surprise he teared up a little when they started to walk down the steps.
