One In The Same

Whadup, guise? Bailey you're too sweet and full of it for your last author's note. ....Thanks doe. :3 So, anyway. This chapter will probably be.. meh. Try to enjoy. haha. I couldn't help but write an idiot love moment for Olivia. It is suppose to be part romance right? She's already forming in my head. What she looks like and acts like and everything. Is that weird?

Olivia

I can't help but smile when I take out my house key, it's not like I haven't been smiling the whole way here. As I slide the key in and flick my wrist to unlock, I think of how crazy I must seem to Ivie. I chuckle at the thought of how I must of looked when I tackled her in the middle of the sidewalk. It was worth it though. I knew that her necklace would match my bracelet. I'm not quite sure how but it was worth the risk of getting the snot beat out of me. 

I fling my door open and drop my keys and sunglasses in the little glass bowl. I step forward but before I get anywhere I have a black and orange cat wrapped around my feet.

'Why hello there, Tay Bug! Mommy missed you!" I pick her up and scratch her under the chin while walking to the kitchen. She starts to purr when I bring her food down from the cupboard. I try to keep her away as I fill her bowl. She starts to get annoyed and swats at my hand. We go through the same thing every day. I calmly set her bowl down and she becomes preoccupied with her food as I walk away.

TO: Ivie Daniels

Hey, it's Olivia. Meet me at The View, you know what time. The address is 1535 Broadway. Is that okay? See you there! xx

I quickly hit send and watched to make sure it went through. I smile widely and throw my phone on the bed before heading over to my closet. I love picking out outfits. I loved everything about how the right one could complement a person so much.

I surpass about half of my wardrobe until I fall upon the perfect dress. I unhook the hanger and hold it up to my body in the full length mirror. I take a couple spins and stop abruptly. I look into my own eyes and widen them until they hurt. I squint them shut and erupt into giggles. I shake my head and rub the material of the dress. It's perfect.

I change as fast as I can. I don't know why since it's only 6. I still have half an hour before I have to leave. I can't stop giggling as I do my make-up and make sure everything is perfect. This night has to be perfect. I know Ivie is suppose to be a very important asset, otherwise God wouldn't have made our paths cross like he did.

I grab my phone off of my bed, checking my messages. I'm disappointed that Ivie hasn't texted me back but I have faith that she'll show up tonight. I say a quick prayer and then grab my keys, sunglasses and clutch. I give Tay Bug a quick scratch and head out. This is going to be great.

                                   *************************************************************

I get to the restaurant before Ivie so I decide to find a nice table instead of standing around. I sit calmly but a smile can't help but burst across my face. I check my phone once again to see if Ivie has texted; she hasn't. I shrug and put my phone away, it's rude to have it at the table. I watch intently as the waiter starts to make his way over to the table. I can't help but notice how cute he is. Deep brown eyes and brown hair sweeping across his face. He knocks into another waiter jokingly and I can practically feel myself turning red as he smiles at him. He turns his attention back to my table and I turn my head quickly, hoping he didn't notice.

"Hi, I'm Oliver and I'll be your server tonight. Can I start you off with something to drink?" He flashes me a smile and my heart melts when I see dimples. God help me get through this.

"Uhm.. Act-Actually.." He's starring at me with those big eyes. Oh my.. "Actually, I'm waiting on someone...." He probably thinks I have a boyfriend. I rub my tongue across the back of my teeth. "I'm waiting on one of my friends... She's a girl." Why did I just say that? "Uh.. Yeah." He smirks at me.

"Would you like me to come back after your friend that's a girl arrives?" His eyes are so pretty.

"Yes please." He winks and walks away, I'm practically drooling. Why did I act like that? I have never even once thought about a boy like that. Could it be... no. That's impossible. Why would he..

My thoughts are interrupted as Ivie sits down across the table from me. I didn't even notice her walk in. She looks stunning. Still, there is something close to scary about how she looks. I can't put my finger on why she looks so familiar. I don't want to stare so I open my menu.

" I bet you think I'm crazy, but-"

"Look I'm pretty sure you ARE crazy. No sane woman would tackle me to see an engraving on my necklace. How did you even know about that anyway? Are you stalking me?" I'm sure my face looked stupid as I took in the stalker remark. To stalk someone would be almost evil. She waits for my answer.

"I'm sorry I came off so strong but I needed to know what your necklace said. I can swear to you I am NOT a stalker. I just had a feeling, you know? I just... knew." She was about to answer just as Oliver stepped up to the table.

"Hello friend that's a girl," he said, his beautiful eyes sweeping to Ivie.

"What?" She looked at him with a stupid look plastered on her face.

"I'm sorry," he said, hiding a chuckle behind his order pad. "Can I get you ladies something to drink?"

"Uh... can I have a.. a coke? .....Please?" I managed to spit out. Ivie looked at me and rolled her eyes.

"Coke." She summed up.  I was stunned to see how it easy it was for her to order. Wasn't she in awe of his beauty too? Oliver gave me a quick once over but I think I wasn't suppose to notice. My stomach flip-flopped and I felt like I was high, which wasn't possible because I have never touched any of that stuff.

"So," Ivie starts, "Go on about the 'I'm not crazy' thing?"

"I'm not crazy-"

"There it is. Told you." She retorts. I think she's trying to make a joke.

"And," I keep going, "I can explain everything. Your necklace, it says.."

"With your sister. Yeah, so what? I never understood the stupid thing anyway. What's so important about it?" I'm getting kind of frustrated with all the interruptions but I keep going.

"So, do you see this bracelet?" I flaunt the charm in front of her face. She looks at me with an idle look in her eyes. I stop, waiting for her to respond. She makes a gesture telling me to go on. "Well, the inside of my bracelet is engraved too." I flip the charm over on my skin, showing her the simple phrase 'you are never alone'. I always thought it was just a message but now I understand it was the beginning of a sentence.

"You are never alone with your sister." She states, slumping back against her chair. I stare into her eyes and she stares back. She's just about to speak when another interruption happens.

"Here you are, girls. A coke and coke. Enjoy." He gives me another once over.

Lord give me strength.
