When she got out of bed that morning and set off into the world and all that it had to offer this was not exactly what she expected life to throw at her. Olivia found herself staring right at her past and not knowing if it even recognized her. There he was the man in the flesh, Eugene Donnavan, heart throb billionaire, heart breaker. There he was sitting in one of the corner booths of the cafe completely unaware of all the  memories he'd brought up for her just by seeing him, all the emotions that came whirling at her like a big tornado ready to suck her up and everything in it's path. She is suddenly jerked back into her 18 year old body, summer had just ended and she found herself staring down the hall, in her
St. Bartholomew's uniform, at Eugene, the school's golden boy and heart throb, who just happened to be her boyfriend. There he stood by his locker looking dashing as ever surrounded by all the vultures who'd been waiting desperately for the news of their breakup, and of course not too far away was his ever loving  sister Chloe. After gathering her things from her locker she made her way down the hall to where he stood with all his adoring fans. "Hello love",she said whilst placing a sweet endearing kiss upon his lips."Why hello gorgeous", he replied smiling up at her, "How was Paris?", he asked whilst dragging her away from the crowd and towards the main hall, so they could be alone. "Boring without you, but I did find other means to entertain myself ", she replied smirking up at him, causing him to burst into a fit of laughter as he pulls her closer to him by her waist staring directly into her eyes, humor dancing the waltz within his green ones. "And what kind of means might those be?", he asked placing a kiss behind her ear and another to the base of her neck. "I wonder, did you enjoy it as much as you are enjoying this right now?", He added as he continued his seducing torture, and all she could reply with was a series of moans and giggles as he nipped at her now exposed breast. She teasingly kissed him and whispered in his ear, "You know me I'm not the type of girl to kiss and tell". As fast as it came, the memory all but faded away into the clouds as she heard her boss yelling at her to stop daydreaming, and she wondered if that was what she was currently stuck in, a very long daydream, and if she was she desperately wanted to wake up. Shoving all her emotions back inside she made her way over to his booth and introduced herself with the same tired rehearsed line she uses on everyone hoping that by some miracle he doesn't recognize her and that way she can continue life with the rest of her dignity intact,"Hi my name is Olivia and I'll be your waitress today what can I get you gentlemen?". She thought luck was finally on her side when he and the rest of his group rattled off their orders without casting a glance her way, something she found to be absolutely rude however she was ready to let that bit go considering it solved her little inner problem. Luck, however decided to cast it's favour elsewhere as Eugene looked up at her just as she was about to turn away after asking the group if their orders were final. They had both entered into this intense staring contest that neither seemed to have wanted to lose. "Olivia what are you doing here?", he asked now looking away from her, clenching his jaw in annoyance or was it anger. She couldn't imagine how this beautiful man went from smiling adoringly into her eyes and trying to seduce her every chance he got, to looking away from her as if annoyed, angry or was it disgust she saw in his eyes before he turned away. All she knew was that she never felt so awful or dirty in her life as she did in that moment. "I work here", she replied dryly before turning away to get their orders all the while willing herself to keep her composure intact. She quickly made her way behind the counter to fill their orders and begged one of the other waitresses to take it to the table for her because she couldn't stomach the thought of going back there and facing him again. She didn't even know what came over her the first time to even put herself in such an awkward situation. She should have had another waitress wait on their table from the very beginning and then she wouldn't be hiding herself very horribly behind the counter. What exactly did she think was going to happen, that he was going to suddenly be overcome with the undying love he once felt for her. Did she honestly not want to see him again after all these years or did she secretly hoped that by seeing her he would realize his mistake and sweep her away from the constant downhill her life has taken since that night she told him she was pregnant and he disowned their unborn child and threw her out his house. Ironically, her parents disowned her mere hours after as she broke the news to them and refused to have an abortion when her mother laid down the ultimatum. In that moment, her first instinct was to run, that was the only thought occupying her mind at the moment.  All she wanted to do was to go home pack up both her and her daughter and just disappear again, somewhere very far this time, maybe Paris, she absolutely loved it there and had wanted to live there from since she was just a little girl. Sadly, she couldn't afford to uproot her life and start all over again, the current red in her bank account wouldn't let her undertake such a huge endeavor. At the moment she was barely able to keep a roof over her daughter's head, food in her stomach and proper clothes on her back, much less to sweep them both away to a Parisian paradise. "Olivia, tell me, do I pay you to cower behind my counter and daydream to your heart's content or do I pay you to actually wait on my customers? Because your job description says waitress not professional slacker", and in that moment her boss reminded her that she actually needed this job if she was going to continue barely scraping by, and so she took that as her cue to suck it up and get back to work.
