Back in Los Angeles, Simone and Jordan were back to wedding planning. With the wedding now days away, Simone was nervous and panicking about decorations, her dress and the thought of getting married in front of those she loved. It was nerve-wracking and she didn't know how to calm herself so instead, she filled herself up with coffee and online shopping.

"My stomach hurts, I need to stop," Simone held her stomach after a 45-minute workout with Olivia. They were in the Baker's backyard doing the workout they had been doing for two weeks straight.

"All that coffee giving you the bubble guts," Olivia asked, grabbing a towel to wipe her sweat.

"No, it's not," Simone argued. "I'm just nervous as hell, Liv. This is a life-changing moment. We're young, graduating high school, then going to college. All of those are huge moments in our lives. Then not knowing if I'll even be in Los Angeles for four years."

Stress was written all over Simone's face as she vented to Olivia. "Are you guys sure this is what you want? Just because you aren't married doesn't mean you still can't be together."

"I know," Simone sighed. "I guess that's why I'm worried. I'm seriously thinking about Bringston and I know Jordan knows that. He's been acting weird since we got back in town."

"Yeah, he's been quiet and that's not my brother. I haven't told him to shut the hell up once this week. Have you both sat down and had a talk after visiting Bringston?"

"Nope. He keeps saying he's busy working out or whatever other random activity he can use as an excuse," Simone replied, taking a sip from her water bottle.

"Just like him to shut down when he's bothered. Reminds me of someone else," Olivia pursed her lips and Simone laughed.

"That twin thing is annoying at times. I'll try to talk to him again."

Olivia held out her arms, "Everything will be okay, Simone. I know my brother is very much in love with you and will support whatever decision you make."

Simone collapsed in Olivia's arms, feeling a wave of positivity flow through her body, "Thanks sis. I appreciate you listening to me vent. But enough about me, I must know what's the new news on you and your boo? Is it official yet because the way ya'll were kissing in ATL..."

"I don't know. Right now we're just working through things. Haven't had that talk yet," Olivia said, distracting herself with
a pebble on the patio.

"Oh! I must say I noticed a certain glow about you when we left Atlanta," Simone stuck out her tongue and hit a quick body roll.

"That's none of your business," Olivia winked and made her way back to the sliding doors.

Simone's mouth fell open in shock, "Olivia Nicole! You can't drop tea like that and leave me hanging.  Liv!" She chased Olivia back into the house, searching for details Olivia would never give.

Though the gray area had a lot more color recently, Spencer and Olivia knew they were in need of a talk. They had done a lot of talking in Atlanta but none of it involved words. Since then, they were back to texting and talking on the phone like normal. Olivia had the intention to talk to Spencer before the rehearsal dinner and Jordan could sense something on her mind.

"What are you over there thinking about, sis," he asked, putting his gaming controller down to give his twin his full attention.

"Should I wear this red shirt under my suit jacket or is it too much," Olivia asked, showing Jordan a picture of two shirts she had purchased for the wedding.
