Olivia

I woke up at about 7 in the morning and sat up. Stretching wide and yawning,

I roll out of the bed, literally. I lay there on the floor for a bit when a tiny "meow" causes me to lift my head quickly. I rub my eyes and stand up. I start to look for Meatball when I see a small box with a couple holes in it with a bright red ribbon around it. I hear the meow again and I know it's coming from the box. I look at the tag and it says 'To Olivia'.

I slowly unravel the ribbon and let it drop to the ground. I quickly pick it up and put it on the nightstand. I pull the lid off the box and examine a tiny gray kitten. It's little blue eyes stare up at me. I start to tear up and carefully bring the small creature to my chest. It's so fragile and adorable. I have to thank Ivie.

I prance into the guest bedroom and quickly slap my hand over my eyes. As a second thought, I put my hand over the kittens eyes too. Standing in the middle of the room is a naked man.

"Ivie," He says, "What did you make for breakfast? It smells great." I can hear footsteps and I realize he's walking towards me. "Why are you covering your eyes?"

"I'M NOT IVIE!" I say quickly. Please, God. Do not let this man embrace me with his nakedness. "I'm her sister!" The footsteps stop abruptly. "Please put on some clothes and I can explain!" I try to walk out of the bedroom but right as I turn around I smack my face into the door frame.

"Be careful there," the man chuckles.

"PUT SOME CLOTHES ON." I retort, running out of the bedroom with my eyes still covered. I stumble over a table that's in the hallway. I keep going until I hit the wall.

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

I sit at Ivie's small table with the gray kitten in my lap. I haven't decided what to name her yet. Ivie and Mr. Naked sit across the table from me.

"Olivia, I can explain." Ivie says as she tries to stifle giggles. I give her a stern look and she loses it.

"What is so funny?" I huff.

"You ran....doorframe.... over the table....wall." She chokes out.

"Yes, it was all very amusing." I wait for a good three minutes before Ivie gets herself under control.

"Olivia, this is Angel."

"We've met." Angel smiles through this sentence.

"Yeah, not too pleasantly." I say.

"Olivia, I'm going to explain something to you," Ivie says. She picks up a dounut out of the bakery box and a carrot stick that is in the bowl in the middle of the table. "When two people like each other very much.." She starts to stick the carrot through the donut hole. Angel laughs out loud. "It's instinct that the male-"

"Oh, please. Stop!" I cut her off, bringing my hands to my temples and rubbing them. "I don't want to know about you and him ... " I shudder at the thought. It's so disturbing. "Thanks for the anotomy lesson, but I really must think about going."

"You can hang out if you want." Ivie offers.

"No really, I should go. I'm meeting Oliver later, I think."

"Ooh la la." Ivie winks at me.

"Mhm." I hum as I walk up the stairs, leaving my kitten to wonder around Ivie's kitchen as I get dressed.
