Olivia Baker

"Spencer!" Olivia whispered-yelled at him. "Let's go!" she said through gritted teeth as she reached for her purse. She then apologized to Angel for disrupting her sleep and to the waiter for Spencer's erratic behavior.

Her face fell in disappointed as the three of them exited the restaurant. Sighing, Olivia handed Angel to Spencer and then pulled her phone out of her purse.

"Why you just standin' there, Liv?" Spencer inquired as he placed Angel in her car seat. "Get in the car" he instructed and she shook her head 'no'.

"I'm not getting in the car" Olivia crossed her arms. "Not until you tell me what's going on with you, Spencer" she exclaimed in frustration.

"I saw them" he whispered through gritted teeth and Olivia's nose wrinkled. "Remember 'Ace'? I saw him and the dude that's connected to Chyna in some way. The two of them were in the restaurant just now and there's a chance they may be in-"

"Oh my fucking God! What does that have to do with YOU?" Olivia pointed at him in frustration. "We can't keep having these conversations, what's it going to take for you to get it?" she questioned.

"Olivia-"

"You keep saying you're not going to get involved and yet you're budding into shit that has nothing to do with you. I don't give a damn about those men and neither should you. I understand you're angry by her death but you're handling your grief in the most ghastly way" she cut him off as tears filled the brim of her eyes. "I don't like seeing you like this" she expressed.

"You're right and I'm sorry" Spencer stepped closer to her. "I've got to do-"

"You've got to do better, I know. You've said this a millions times and you're never consistent" Olivia heaved a big sigh. "...being with you shouldn't be this much work" she wiped her eyes.

"What do you mean by that?" Spencer inquired as his eyebrows pulled closer together.

"I mean...lately...you haven't made life easy for me" Olivia admitted and Spencer raised an eyebrow. "I shouldn't feel overwhelmed and stress with you, especially now that I'm pregnant" she continued.

"I haven't made life easy for you?" Spencer questioned and Olivia nodded her head. "Then why you still with me?" he inquired and she frowned.

"Spencer-"

"I'm tryin' my best here, Liv. I'm not the perfect nigga and I never claimed to be. You can't say I haven't made life easy for you, cause I try my damn best to make sure you good. Bullshit aside" Spencer shook his head. "It's unfair in all honesty" he continued.

"It's unfair?" Olivia turned her head as she chuckled in disbelief. "It's unfair that I'm watching you progressively self destruct. I mean, you were about to physically attack that poor waiter for no reason, Spencer. It's unfair that I have to stress about our livelihood and worry about the consequences of your actions" she stated, earning a few glances from strangers.

Spencer felt his heart sank as Olivia expressed her feelings to him. He couldn't help but feel guilty for the emotional damage he's caused her.

"It's never been my intention to be an....emotional burden to you, Olivia" Spencer sighed. "I'm sorry that I've given you a reason to continuously be disappointed in me" he began to choke on his words.

Olivia's eyes began to get glossy as she listened to him speak.

 "You deserve better than that" he cleared his throat.

"Spencer..." Olivia stepped close to him and cupped his face with her hand. "What are you saying?" She inquired as she used her thumb to gently caress his cheek.
