Benidorm ⇒ Rob Dawson

16.

Olivia, Callum and Joey finally arrived at the Solana after a bumpy ride in Liv's jet, driven by Adam (the bodyguard/chauffeur). They got signed in and set up in their rooms because Liv had bought them all suites to treat them. They got into pool clothes and walked out into the spanish sun.

"Shit." Liv said quietly when she saw the Dawson's, minus Rob and Jodie, sat on their usual sunbeds.

"What?" Callum asked, his Irish accent slid into her ears and she pulled her hat down so it was covering her face.

"I want beer but I don't want to talk to them lot." She pointed at the Dawson's.

"Why not?" Joey asked standing next to her.

"Joey, we aren't supposed to talk about it!" Callum whisper shouted to his mate. "Liv found out, Rob's mate was a girl and she freaked when she saw the woman's post on the gram. Said she had found her true love in Africa."

"Yeah, yeah. Messy breakup and that lot. He hasn't told his mum so I'd like it if you shut up." Liv said to Joey, clearly frustrated. Olivia started walking towards the bar, hat on normally, hoping that Shaaron Dawson wouldn't see her.

"Livie, how are you?" Shaaron asked. Liv took a deep breath and turned to face her ex's mother.

"I'm alright thanks. Your 25th anniversary tomorrow if I'm not mistaken." Olivia commented trying to get out fast, it backfired. Joey and Callum were already at the sunbeds and she gave Callum a hard look from across the pool, he shrugged and mouthed 'what?', then lay on his sunbed and closed his eyes. He said something to Joey before nodding off into a sleep.

"Liv? You ok." Shaaron asked, she was now next to her. It scared the shit out of Liv as she had just broken from her trance, and she jumped back, falling into the pool. Lorretta laughed.

"Not funny Lorretta." She said pulling herself out of the pool, and twisting the hat, to get the water out.

"Where's our Rob?" Shaaron asked handing the girl a towel to dry off.

"How the hell am I supposed to know?" Olivia countered

"Aren't you his girlfriend?" Billie asked, looking up from his newspaper. Liv flinched at the word: 'girlfriend'.

"Sensitive subject?" She said as she noticed the looks they gave her. "Fine." She sat on the end of Shaaron's sunbed. "Rob broke up with me because he thought had found a better person in Africa, ok."

Shaaron's voice went dangerously low, "He did, what?"

"You heard me." Liv said, in the same dangerous tone. "He thought that he had found someone better, in the bloody jungle. Sorry, the characters you play influence your personality."

"Oh yes love. You did a brilliant job on Kaela." Shaaron said. "I have to ask, how did he break up with you?"

Liv was hesitant to answer, she knew Shaaron liked her. Not that she didn't like Shaaron, it was just awkward being mates with someone twice her age. "Text."

"Did he fuck-"Shaaron said interrupted by Billie.

"Alright son." The man squinted nodding his head at Rob who was standing with a woman. She had brown skin and brown eyes. The woman has holding Rob's hand in both of hers and when Liv turned around she snapped.
