A knock sounded on the door around half an hour later. The door opened and Lauren peered her head in smiling. "Dinner is....served" She mocked a little. "Lauren!" Ashton groaned. Olivia giggled and nodded her head. "Thank you Lauren" She told her. "Your welcome...now we dont have candles, and theres three more people joining you but, you can....." "We're coming!" Ashton stood up and Olivia made a confusing face as she giggled. "Just...letting you know" She nodded before leaving the door. Ashton turned to Olivia and chuckled. "Ignore....her" She told her. "No, shes funny...i like her" Olivia giggled.
Olivia followed Ash up the stairs, and into the kitchen. Laurne was sitting at the table, beside a younger boy. A cheeky smile on his face. A woman with blonde hair was standing at the cooker, she then turned and smiled at Olivia. "Hi, Olivia! right?" She nodded. "Yeah, hello...." Olivia smiled. "Oh its good to meet you honey! I'm Anne-Marie....or just Anne" She smiled walking over to Olivia holding out her hand. "Its lovely to meet you" Olivia smiled shaking her hand. "Oh come, come dinner's ready" She walked her to the table. Olivia sat down at the top of the table, with Lauren and the younger boy beside her. Ashton sat himself down on the other side opposite his sister and assuming brother.
"Hello!" The boy smiled at Liv. "Oh hi!" She nodded at him. "Im harry!" He told her. "Hi, Harry, its nice to meet you" Olivia smiled at him. "Its nice to meet you too Olivia" He giggled. "Its nice to that you joined us for dinner honey, finally meet you" Anne sat down with her plate of food. Olivia nodded and smiled. "Yeah, its nice for you to have me, thank you" She told her. "Oh not at all...your more than welcome!" She grinned at her. Olivia smiled looking down at her plate. Spaghetti bolonaise. She liked that. "Yeah was just saying its nice to a have her face at the table for a change" Lauren giggled.
"Lauren...." Anne smiled. "Yeah! i know!" Harry giggled. Oliva smiled and looked at Ash. He was sort of slumped in his chair, going a little red. Olivia didnt know what they meant but it was kinda funny. "Wouldnt be suprise if your ears were burning the past few nights" Lauren giggled scooping up speghetti. "Lauren!" Ashton glared at her. She giggled with Harry and their mom just smiled. "So! Olivia, how are you and your parents liking Sydney?" She smiled from the other top of the table. "Oh...well, im getting used to it. My mom and dad...i think they like it yes" She nodded. "Thats good! and school?" Anne asked. "Oh, school...a little different from back home but yeah its okay"
"Different from England?" Lauren asked. "Uh, yeah a little. I didnt live IN England it was just outside of it...." She smiled at Lauren. "I hope the boys are treating you okay? i hear your getting friendly with them?" Anne asked. "The other way around mom! those idiots can be annoying" Lauren smirked. "Mom!" Ashton turned to Anne. "Lauren please" She smiled. "Im just saying" Lauren shrugged and smirked at Olivia. Holding in her laugh Liv smiled at Lauren.

It was just after dinner and Olivia was talking with Anne and Lauren. Harry disapperead into his room and Lauren was having a full on conversation with Olivia. Liv didnt mind, she liked talking to her, she was nice. Ashton sat butting into Lauren's conversation with Olivia, when she was start to say something about Ash, or even when she was assumming something. It was just after 8 when Ash stood up and sighed. "Okay, i think thats enough interigation for one night!" He glared at Lauren. "Ashton honey" Anne spoke from the kitchen. "I think i should go anyway....my mom would be wondering where i am" Olivia nodded standing.
"Oh, okay then. Come back soon okay! it's nice talking to you! your a sweet girl!" Lauren told her. "Aww, thanks Lauren...i like talking to you too!" Olivia smilled sweetly at her. "You sure you need to go?" Ashton asked. "Yeah..." Liv nodded. "I'll give you a ride back to your place" He smiled at her. "We'll hear more about you, before we see you again" Lauren giggled standing. "Lauren! shut up" Ashton turned to her. This time his face was sort of embarassed yet he was smiling, as if he was giving in to being mad with her. It was cute. "Okay...." Oliva giggled collecting her things.
She walked into the kitchen where Anne was. "Oh is that you leaving sweetie?" "Yeah, my mom will be wondering where i am...thank you for dinner and having me in your home." Olivia smiled at her. "Oh not at all! Your welcome here anytime! and for dinner too. Tell your mom and dad, your all welcome round anytime" She told her. "Oh thank you....uh, you all too. I know my mom would say the same." Olivia nodded at her. "Okay, I'll remember hun. I'll see you again, i'll be sure to try and catch your mom and dad soon too" She smiled at her. Hugging her Olivia grinned. "Oh okay" She nodded. "Bye" She waved before leaving with Ashon.
Ashton drove her up to her house and stopped outside her gate. "Uh...im sorry for Lauren and Harry tonight" He sighed turning to her. "No! dont be. I loved them. Open minded and out spoken...not like me, but i like them" She nodded. "Oh...okay, as long as they werent annoying you" He giggled a little. "No, not at all" Liv laughed. "I see their brother in them....thats good" She smiled and watched as Ash grinned a little shy. "I loved dinner, thank your mom again from me. My mom and dad will return the favour" She smiled at him. "Yeah, its cool..." He nodded. "I wasnt able to meet your dad...." She turned smiling at him. "Oh yeah...." Ashton's smile faded a little. "Well, maybe next time..." She nodded. "There wont be....i uh...my dad isnt with us" He told her. Olivia smile vanished as she looked at him.
"Oh Ashton...im uh...im sorry i..." "No, its fine honest" He nodded. "He left us...." He turned to her. Hearing that felt like someone punched her in the stomach. Why would he do that? Ashton's family were so sweet, and nice. "Oh im sorry..." She spoke quietly. They sat for a moment in silence before she moved her hand to his. Doing something completely different to what she would do, she rested her hand on top of his. She watched as he looked at her. A small smile appearing on his face. "Your dad...is missing out on a beautiful family." She told him. "A loving mother, and three beautiful children..." She told him. "Thanks Liv" He smiled at her.
"Well...i better go..." She told him. "I'll pick you up same place, same time tomorrow?" He asked. "Yeah, course" She nodded. "Great, awesome" He smiled, turning his hand slightly and squeezing hers. Olivia looked at him and met his eyes. "Yeah okay...." She spoke taking her hand away and turning to open the door. "See you tomorrow" She smiled before closing his door and waving walking into her gate. She waved again, before he drove away and in her front door. She rested her head agaisnt the front door and sighed. If Natasha knew that she walked away from him, she would slap her. It was a pity he didnt like her....not as much as she liked him.
