Chapter 36 "let's talk"

It's twelve noon, and Olivine decided to grab several takeout meals. The pull that she feels makes her crazier than she ever thought. The obsessive thoughts and feelings on Katarina make her worried and excited to see her again. 

Traumatized by what happened, but Katarina's thoughts inside her head are much stronger than she can imagine. It drags her feet quickly, like it has a life of its own. Headed straight to the elevator, even if she felt dizzy. Olivine manages to make an effort and acts of service to Katarina's family.

A gentle knock on the door, Olivine expected to see Felicia, but instead her twin-sister Kristina, hearts pounding again seeing her standing in front door. Olivine sees her smile, just like Katarina, except she noticed a deep dimple on her cheeks.

"Hi," Kristina said, snapping her floating thoughts while Olivine held the huge paper bag standing in the front door.

"Come in," she said, opening the door wide, welcoming with no hesitation.

"Oh...uh...I'm... so sorry I thought Felicia was here..." Olivine stuttering again, her words not even moving a muscle where she stood. 

"Moms is not here; she went home for the kids," Kristina said, and Olivine followed her inside. 

"I'm sorry, I can't help it, but you and Kata—"Olivine paused. 

"Ah, yes, people always said that, and some double-glance to check, and I'm getting used to it," Katarina closed the door behind.

"Okay, I'm sorry; I don't mean to be rude," Olivine paused.

"I just brought some food," Olivine said, changing the awkward topic. 

Kristina gently took the huge paper bag. Olivine felt the heaviness on the bag and didn't let go right away; instead, she helped place it on the table located at the side corner of the room. Where there is a spare little bed, a chair, and a table. 

Kristina took several food items out of the paper bag and placed them in front of Olivine. She can't help but still hold herself up, where she's drawn to Katarina again, yet she held back from going near her. She formed a fist to numb the tension she felt. Eventually she decided to slide both hands into her trousers pocket.

Olivine looked towards Katarina, still sleeping. The paleness of her face is gone; it went normal again. Those slightest reds on her cheeks are signs that she's recovering so fast. Olivine stood still where she looked at Katarina; she's dying to hug her again but keeping it together, not in front of her family, in such a manner. 

"You like my sister, do you?" Olivine heard bold words from Kristina, and she turned around stunned by what she heard. Olivine didn't notice and subconsciously took a few steps towards where she was standing across the room.

"Everyone knows the Ferguson's, and people notice them quickly," Kristina said, taking a glimpse at her twin sister, where Olivine didn't leave her sight.

"I saw the livestream; my sister held your hand and released it after Aiden said something," Kristina said, poking at her.

"Have a seat and let's talk," she added, opening the hand and directing towards the chair across the table. 

Olivine followed her command and took a seat. She has no idea why little gestures of command she follows through. Olivine is like went under their spells in a snap.

"Let's eat and talk," Kristina said, cupping her chin and looking at Olivine, whom she witnessed. She took a visible gulp on her side. 

"I am amazed at how you handle alcohol, Miss Olivine; you can break a record really," Kristina started the conversation about what happened at the bar not leaving Olivine sight.
