a/n - please vote!!

olivia's pov

after showering, i pick up my phone, white towel wrapped around my body. i look at my messages, seeing a new voicemail. i tap on it, pressing play.

i smile after hearing y/n's voice again, the voicemail ending. i press play again, listening to it one more time. 

i go to messages, going to type back to y/n.

y/n's pov

i wait for olivia, looking around the cafe. the soft bell rings, and i look up at the door. she walks in with a smile, sitting opposite me. "hey," she says. "hi," i respond, "so... coffee? matcha?" i offer, sliding the menu to the other side of the table. "thanks," she says, flipping it open.

a matcha and a coffee get brought to our table, and the waitress walks away after we say thanks. "how's everything?" i ask. "everything's... busy. my mom told me she saw you at the supermarket actually." "oh really? when?" i ask, bringing the cup to my lips as i take a sip. "like on the way here," she says, smiling. 

after coffee, we sit opposite on olivia's bed. noticing a photo frame of her and vinnie sharing a kiss, i look away, back to olivia, who was also looking at it. she looks back at me. "you dating him?" i ask. "yeah, something like that. no- yeah, i am." she says, nodding. "congrats," i say, nodding slowly back. "something wrong?" she asks, examining my face. "no... nothing's wrong," i lie, looking at olivia's bedsheet. "i can tell when something's wrong, i'm not stupid," she says, bringing her finger to my chin, lifting my face up to look at her. "but you sure are oblivious," i whisper. "oblivious? to what?" she responds, confused. 

i take a deep, calculated breath. "i like you, olivia. some could even say that, i don't know, i was falling in love." i shrug, acting like this wasn't a big deal, "i know i should've said something, but i liked taking it slow. but i didn't realise that you didn't feel the same way." olivia looks at me, and there was a brief silence. "y/n... we kissed like- twice. it didn't mean anything. i mean, one of them was literally a new years kiss." "are you serious?" i ask, refusing to believe the words coming out of olivia's mouth right now. "you should've told me that before!" "why're you making such a big deal out of this?! it's not even like we're dating!" "so why did we act like we were?! you lead me on, you wasted my time!" olivia and i's voice started to raise. "why can't you just be happy for me?! you know, you don't have to be so selfish all the time!" "i am happy for you! but from now on, i couldn't give two fucks on who you date! you're the one calling me selfish when you've been so self centered these past few months that you didn't even realize i liked you!" how was i supposed to know?!" "maybe you'd know if you paid more attention!" i argue, but olivia doesn't respond. i stand up, walking to her door. "thanks for having me over."
