Olivia's POV:
I started the engine and drove out of the car park. I sigh as I lean back in my chair and watch the dark road as I drive. I don't know why I felt so guilty. I mean I had no reason to feel this way. Tristan was a good guy. But I felt wrong. The kiss didn't feel right. It had no passion. Just pure lust.
I mean we had good sexual chemistry, but as a hopeless romantic who adores books and romance novels, it just doesn't do it for me.
But I also didn't know Tristan that way. I should be honest to him though. I don't feel a spark between me and him. Not even a tiny flame.
I groan and stop at the traffic light, looking around as I wait for the light to turn green. I yawn. My phone rings, it's connected to the car. I answer the call, it's Frankie.
''Hey! Since tonight went so well, we're gonna go up to Riley's parents cabin in the mountains! Luke and I are going back to base next week, so..''
I felt my heart sink as I heard him say he was leaving again, ''Dude.. you just came back. You're leaving again?''
''Don't be upset. We have a week. I want you and Tristan to come.''
''I'm calling it off with him. I don't feel anything towards him. I don't wanna like- five wheel.''
''Oh, I'm sorry. And you won't! We'll include you, I promise. I wouldn't dare leave you out.''
I sigh loudly and bite my cheek as I think for a moment, ''Fine. Sure. But only because you're leaving.''
''Uh huh. I'm sorry about Tristan again. See you tomorrow morning.''
''TOMORROW MORNI-''
He hung up right in the middle of my sentence. I whine loudly and sit up, turning into the parking lot to my apartment building.
I walked upstairs, Milo had been sat my the door. He started panting with excitement and wagging his tail as I entered. I giggled and rub his head as I walk into my bedroom, ''The only acceptable boy.''
I pull out my small suitcase and open it, laying it on the bed. I squint my eyes and open my bikini and underwear drawer. I put in two bathing suits and a bunch of underwear. You can never have too many.
I walk to my standing length wardrobe and slide it open. I pull out some cute outfits and fold them into the suitcase. Once I had finished with my clothes, I walked into my bathroom and grabbed a small bag and filled it with my skincare and makeup.
I zipped that bag up and walked back into my bedroom and threw it into my case. I turn to Milo and point. I should call Riley to see if Milo's allowed to come.
I look around for my phone. It was beside the suitcase on the bed. I grab it and call Riley.
''Hi, Liv!'' she speaks excitedly, and full of happiness.
''Hey, Riley. Really weird sudden question but could Milo come with us to the cabin? I'm not bringing Tristan so Milo could take his place, if that's okay?''
''Oh my god, yes! Of course. I haven't seen him in so long.''
I let out a loud sigh of relief and smile, '' Great. Thank you so much.''
''See you tomorrow morning! Road trip, yay!!'' She giggles before hanging up.
Road trip? Meaning a car ride? With Luke and Mia and Frankie and Riley? Two couples and my dog and I? Great..
I closed my suitcase and zipped it up. pushing it out to the living room and walking back into my bedroom and pulling back the covers on my bed. I call for Milo and pat my bed for him to jump up on it. He jumps onto the bed and lays down instantly. I undress myself and get into some baggy shorts and a tank top before crawling into bed and laying on my side. I reach for the switch on my lap and flick it off and shutting my eyes.
