Olivia
I can't believe I finally found what I was waiting for. I wasn't expecting it to be my twin but hey, anything was good. I am just so excited. I take a deep breath and it doesn't hurt. This is surly a sign, I just know it.
I change into my pj's and kneel beside my bed, entwining my fingers as Tay jumps up on the bed.
"Father, thank you for everything you do for me. You have never let me down, Father. Thank you for bringing my beautiful twin into my life and help her Father, protect her and help her see the way to you. I want to thank you again, for everything you do. Amen. P.S. Tay Bug thanks you too. Amen."
I smile as I finish up my prayer. Ivie and I have made plans to see each other again and I feel like a child in a candy store. I can barely wait to hear about her life and ask her questions. I have a good feeling about Ivie and I know she will come around. She was just shocked tonight. I'm going to be the best sister in the world.
I turn down the bed and turn on the television. I watch re-runs of Glee. It's like soul-food. It might not be the most religious or real show but it makes me feel better. Who wouldn't Cory Monteith make feel good?
Suddenly, I remember about Oliver. Oh my, when I saw that he had slipped his number. Shivers went up my spine just thinking about it. It's so hard to believe that a guy like him would like a girl like me. I debate texting him, it is only 10 pm. I take the chance.
TO: Oliver ... <3
Hey, it's Olivia. The girl with a friend that's a girl. I'm sorry about that, by the way. :) I was just a little nervous. So anyways... yeah.
I pressed send before I could change my mind. He probably won't text back. He probably doesn't even remember me. I start to think about those eyes and smile but my thoughts are interrupted.
You will never sleep alone, I'll love after you're gone...
I just got a text message. I quickly pick up my phone and put my passcode in. It's Oliver.
FROM: Oliver ... <3
Hey, Olivia. Wow, I didn't think you would really text me. I guess the old number in the check really works. Haha. I have one question though. Why were you nervous?
I bit my bottom lip while I thought of how to reply. I can't believe he texted me back.
TO: Oliver ... <3
Well, it's actually a long story. I could explain, maybe over coffee?
Oh gosh, did I really just send that? He's going to say no anyway.
You will never sleep alone, I'll love you long after you're gone...
FROM: Oliver ... <3
Meet me tomorrow, Starbucks. 9am. Please don't say no.
OH MY. OH MY. OH MY.
TO: Oliver ... <3
Yes. Of course. See you there.
YES.
You will never sleep alone, I'll love you long after you're gone...
FROM: Oliver ... <3
Great. :) Sleep tight, Olivia. See you tomorrow. xx
My life is complete.
*******************************************************
I fluffed my hair and straightened out my outfit in the mirror. I swiped my finger in the dip on my top lip, making sure my lipstick was perfect. I gave myself a flashy smile and a wink and walked out the door.
I walked with a spring in my step and flung the doors to Starbucks open. I felt amazing. I spotted Oliver and my hands began to shake. He waved me over to a little 2-seater next to the window. I walked a little slow because I was scared I was going to fall on my face, As I'm rearing up to the table, he pulls my chair out.
"Good morning Olivia, did you sleep well?" His dimples were so cute when he smiled.
"Yes, did you?" I didn't stutter! Score 1 for Liv, embarrassment, 0. Well, actually embarrassment had a lot on me so I decided not to brag.
"Would you like me to go get the coffee?" I smiled and nodded, letting him know my coffee order, stuttering slightly.
"I'll be right back, then." He flashed an award-winning smile and I thought I was dying. I had to check my pulse to make sure it was real.
I watched him walk away and I smile broadly. He may be the one, I tell myself. He's beautiful and free. His eyes wander back to me while he is waiting for the coffee. I purse my lips and lift my eyebrow, trying to be funny. He sticks his tongue out and crosses his eyes, causing me to laugh out loud. Once again, the thought crosses my mind; maybe he's it.
You will never be alone, I'll love you long after you're gone...
It takes me a second to realize that it is my phone going off.
FROM: Ivie Daniels (My Twin)
Hey, can you meet me around 4? Central park. I want to know more about my ... twin. That's so weird to say. Just be there, okay?
I smile at my phone as Oliver walks back to the table. He sets my coffee down and takes the seat across from me. We spend the next two hours talking about our lives. I leave out the fact that Ivie is my twin; I just found out myself. I learn that he is an upcoming artist and that he works 2 jobs to get through collage. I admire that and I'm very glad to find out that he isn't a business man. When we stand up to leave, he pays before I get the chance to get my wallet out.
"It was really nice to meet you Olivia, and if you don't mind, I'd like to see you again?" He gives me a side-smile, waiting for me to reply. If he keeps making these cute faces, I won't be able too. I'll be on the ground having a heart attack.
"Of-of c-corse Oliver. I-I-I would love t-too."
Embarrassment, 10; Olivia, 1.
