We've Only Just Begun

Part 22 - The Pub

We spent the rest of the day relaxing at the house, except for Ollie and Max who went out to get a bite to eat. Seev, Tom, Maria, and Becca were upstairs watching a movie and Jay, Steph, Nathan, and I were all watching TV in the living room downstairs. "Y'all know we leave for Brazil for the video shoot in three days right?" I asked them. 

"Yeah." Jay replied, still looking at the TV.

All of the sudden Ollie stormed in the house in a rage. She walked straight back to Max's room and slammed the door. I leaned up and stared at the door, waiting for Max to come in, but he never did. I looked at everyone concerned and got up to see what was going on.

I knocked and opened the door to see Ollie sloppily packing her things into a suitcase. "Ollie what the hell?! What happened?" I asked. She didn't answer me. She just kept throwing her clothes into her suitcase, not even bothering to fold them. I walked over to her and grabbed both of her arms, forcing her to stop and look at me. "Ollie. Calm down. What the hell happened?"

She started crying. "Max..." Was all she could say.

"Max what?" I asked.

"I looked... through his phone... when he went to the bathroom..." She was starting to hyperventilate. 

"Breathe, babe." I said. She took three deep breaths and continued.

"Bobbi. His ex. She's been sending him nudes." She said. 

"Did he reply to any of them?" I asked.

"No." I heard Max's voice from behind me. I turned to see him leaning against the door frame with his hands in his pockets. He seemed calm.

"But you didn't delete them did you?!" Ollie screamed and threw a shoe at him which he barely dodged.

"I'll give y'all some privacy." I said and stepped out of the room, closing the door.

I walked down the hall to find everyone standing in the kitchen. "Did any of you hear that?" I asked them.

"Max informed us before he went back there." Tom replied. I let out a sigh. 

"I hope they work this out. I love them together." I said looking down. Nath put his arm around my shoulders and squeezed. 

"I think they'll be okay. This isn't the first time they've fought about Bobbi. The girl's a menace, she's like Max's Dionne." Nathan replied. I cringed when I heard Dionne's name. Nathan leaned back against the counter, taking me with him. We all just stood there in silence listening to Ollie and Max scream at each other behind the closed door.

"Guys we shouldn't be listening." Maria said. 

"Let's go out or something. Give them some privacy." Becca chimed in.

I nodded and we all dispersed to get ready. "Try to hurry please." I told Nathan as we went into our separate bedrooms. 

Surprisingly, about fifteen minutes later everyone was ready and waiting downstairs when Nathan and I came down. Max and Ollie were still fighting, just not as loudly as before. We piled into the car and headed to a pub the boys have been promising to take us to. 

We walked in and sat down at a booth that could seat all eight of us. Jay and Seev went to the bar and brought two pints back to the table. I pulled out my phone and saw a text from my mom "Just making sure you're alive. Haven't heard from you in a while. Please text or call soon."  Crap. There was a lot to catch her up on.

"Sorry been really busy with the job. I have a lot to catch you up on. I'll call you tomorrow, promise :)" I replied.  

I locked my phone and put it down on the table. When I looked up all of the guys were on their phones, probably on twitter, and Steph was chugging the rest of her beer.
