How To Find Your Future

33 - Girls Vs Guys

Olivia

Is it weird if the only thing your younger sister and best friend have in common is your love life? Because that's just what I found out about my own sister and best friend.

"I can't believe that this is what gets the two of you to bond," I mumble into my hand. I sit cross legged on my bed with a pillow in my lap.

Naomi grins. "Hey. This is your fault."

I throw my hands up. "How is this my fault? All I did was ask what I should do about Nick and Charlie."

"And that summoned me, because ya know. Team Nick all the way," Sasha says. She leans her head back onto my bed to show me her toothy smile.

Naomi side-eyes her. "No way. Charlie is so much better."

"How do you figure?" Sasha lifts her head up to look at Naomi.

I groan and flop back onto my bed.

"Well, for one he's helping her find a career while all Nick is doing is confusing the poor girl. And two, Charlie actually tries to act like a gentleman and doesn't play with Olivia's feelings."

I bolt up. "Nick doesn't-"

"Nick is just playing hard to get! I mean, he's perfect for Olivia! After her last boyfriend he'll be a real prince charming."

"Can you guys stop talking like I'm not here please?"

They both have the gull to look guilty.

"And I didn't invite you here to discuss who's better."

Sasha raises her hand. "I wasn't invited."

I roll my eyes. "I'm aware." I sigh. "But regardless. You're both here. And I need some advice."

Naomi gives me a are you kidding look. "You do realize that's just asking us to pick teams, right?"

I groan and shake my head. "It's not. Because I already know who I like. Especially after me and Nick agreed there's nothing there." I fold my arms and huff in triumph.

"She picked a team," Sasha whispers.

I whack her with a pillow. "That's not what we're calling this!"

She giggles. "Yeah okay."

Naomi hides her grin behind her hand.

I roll my eyes at them. Why did I think asking for their help was a good idea? Oh, that's right, because it was only supposed to be Naomi's advice. But Sasha wanted to be included and somehow, against my will, she managed to get in here.

"Anyways. I need to know how I should talk to Nick the next time I see him. I really don't want to ruin my friendship with him or make anything awkward between us."

"She chose Charlie!" Naomi yells.

Sasha crosses her arms. "Yeah yeah. You win."

Naomi holds out her hand. A smug smile sits on her face. "You owe me five bucks."

"You guys bet on me?!" I bury my face in my hands.

"Not directly on you," Sasha comments.

"Just about which guy you would choose." Naomi grabs her cup and hides her smug smirk behind it.

"God." My face is flaming hot as I look up at them. "I thought you two would be helpful."

Naomi snickers. "Please. Your best friend and sister trying to help you? That's a disaster waiting to happen."

"For you, that is," Sasha adds. "It's a great evil plan for us."

"You two are horrible."

They give me evil grins. I shake my head at them. As much as I don't want them teaming up against me, it is nice seeing them get along.
