You Can Paint Me

Sequel Ch. 6: Grape Juice

Disclaimer:

This chapter doesn't promote alcohol or getting drunk.

I actually HATE how stupid, being drunk, makes you look. Or how dangerous and easy to get advantage of is when drinking. Even though I used alcohol as an excuse to write a fun chapter, I want you to know that in real life it's NO FUN at all. It's actually funnier to be sober and watch everyone else embarrass themselves.

So, for the sake of my peace of mind, I changed the word 'alcohol' with 'fruit juice' and everyone just gets sugar high. Also, whoever reads this chapter I want you to promise me not to ever get drunk and I will be your friend and give you a cookie. Okay?

"Please tell me it's Felix..." Olivia exclaimed petrified.

"Yes, it is Felix." Ava answered with a bored expression that changed into an intrigued one in just a second. "Then again..."

"What is it now, Ava?" Olivia asked, already fed up with her friend's 3-words sentences.

"The Australian accents just doubled in number." the tall girl noticed with a hint of amusement in her voice and a look that said things-are-getting-interesting in her hazel eyes.

"Ah,GREAT! I,definitely, didn't want to see the second one again, today. Well, I'd prefer if I didn't see him at all in Ita-" Olivia was abruptly cut off by a loud exclamation.

"AGAIN? Ahem...Sorry about that" Ava's voice cracked embarrassingly after the high-pitched scream that was so unlike her character but that didn't stop her from continuing with her interrogation. "Again? Have you two met already? And if so, when and why? And also why was I not present or at least informed after the incident? Why does no one care about catching me up with the storyline?" she bombarded her friend with questions while trying to confuse her and guilt-trip her in order to get some answers.

"Firstly, I need you to calm down and stop trying to turn into a goth version of Mia just to get me to talk. Yes,I can see right through your little act because you would never behave like that in public, not even if you caught Changbin with another girl. Secondly, this is not some novel with storyline that needs catching up to. It's a more realistic, boring and borderline depressing version of it. My life! Now, if I tell you that I was forced to meet the australian dillweed because our lovely couple booked us both for the wedding cake testing this morning, will you be satisfied and drop the subject? Or do you want to torture me more while I have to think what am I supposed to do with having 3 people -that I was or perhaps will be romantically involved- be in the same room at the same time?" Olivia monologued in one-go, feeling as if she tried to fill in her therapist with the events of her life in just 5 seconds. It made her out of breath and in desperate need of a drink.

"Here you go" Ava had already poured her a glass of grape juice and while offering it to her she stated, " You're gonna need a heads up if you want to survive this night".

"At least you pity me enough to know when to stop. That's something. Also, bottoms-up." Olivia raised her glass of grape juice as if doing a toast and then gulped down the red liquid all at once.

"Yeah, don't get used to it because I think I am going to be the only one showing mercy on you tonight. Everyone else seems to be out for blood." Ava took a last compassionate glance to her stressed friend and turned her heels to get away from her the moment she spotted something behind her back.

Although Olivia was starting to feel a bit light-headed from the juice, she didn't hesitate to notice her friend getting uneasy about something that she saw but before she could stop her from abandoning her, the raven-haired girl had already left. Instead of letting the feelings of betrayal and anger overtake her for the nth time today, Olivia chose to dwell on another one -curiosity- as she turned her head to look at what made Ava leave like a wet cat.
