At Sunrise

Chapter 10: At Seven

I love days off work, I work during the week so I have today and tomorrow to do nothing. I could eat chips, oh we have chocolate chip cookies too. Hmm or maybe some candy. Ugh, why is picking snacks so hard."Fuck it." I say to myself as I choose all three. I quickly grab my lovely snacks and head to the living room. I am determined to make today a lazy day. I just want to lounge around in sweats and watch TV.

For the next few hours I kept my eyes busy with my favorite shows and my mouth busy with chocolate and popcorn. Have you ever tried chocolate covered almonds with popcorn? I didn't until three minutes ago and I regret nothing. All day I've watched shows like Grey's anatomy, The Carrie Diaries, and The Fosters. I just love being able to relax and eat junk food. It's so peaceful, well until you start watching a series called Pretty Little Liars and stress out asking yourself "Who the FUCK is A?" over and over again.

"Liv, are you here?"

So much for peaceful. Quick Liv think of something. Play dead? No it's too soon. I turn around to see my mother walking towards the living room.

"Oh good you're he- what is this mess!"

She picked up empty wrappers and gave me a stern look. "Olivia you need to stop eating all this junk food. Your not getting any thinner, and do you even know what this is doing to your body? You know what. We need some groceries in this house, how about you go to the store. Yeah that's exactly what your going to do. When you go, which will be now, please try to refrain from getting all of those unhealthy snacks."

"Fine." I quickly get up from the couch and clean up all my garbage. I head upstairs to change.

I put on a simple white muscle tee and shorts, making sure that the color of the bra underneath flows with the outfit. I brush my hair and put it into a messy bun. Once I look into the mirror and deem myself presentable I go downstairs and get my keys.

"Here take this. Remember no junk food." I take the money my mom gives me and nod my head.

"I'll try, but watching Dr. McSteamy won't be the same."

My mom rolls her eyes and chuckles a little.

"Just go to the store. Love you and drive safe Olivia."

Vinny's P.O.V.

"You wanna go out on a date? No that's too lame. Are you a camera? Because every time I look at you, I smile. That's kind of cheesy. Ha ha cheese, camera. Oh gosh that's even more lame. I need to sound cool and confident. Girls like a confident guy Vincent." I say as I look in the mirror and continue to practice. "You. Me. Tonight at seven." No I need more time. "Tomorrow night. You. Me. Tomorrow at seven. Yeah I like it straight forward and confident, that's good."

I've been practicing for about half an hour trying to figure out how I'm going to ask out Ollie. I really like her. We've been texting back and forth for a while, sometimes even call each other and talk for hours at a time. I like calling her to hear her voice in the morning, it's sleepy and still beautiful. She is really beautiful. The next time I see her I am going to ask her out.

"Vincent! Could you please come down here!"

I quickly recognized the voice to be my stepmom.

"I'm coming!"

I quickly pull a shirt over my head and walk downstairs.

"Vinny could you please go to the store and buy a few things?"

"Yeah sure." She hands me a list and I grab it.

"Can you please take your brother and sister?"
