Tangled Web (Catfish Sequel) {M.C}

Chapter Ten

Ivy's POV: 

Ivy got Olivia dressed and made sure she had everything ready in her changing bag whilst they waited for Nova to arrive. It wasn't long before she knocked at the door. 

Ivy put Olivia straight into her car seat which usually stayed in Nova's car now that Michael wasn't here. She didn't like using the company that drove them around when he was home. Although Michael said it was free to use, she had found out that it gets charged to Michael at the end of each month, and she didn't want to just take his money. He already paid for most of the household bills and whatever Olivia needed. She wouldn't even spend the money he sent everytime they did an interview or anything, she put it straight into Olivia's bank account and used her maternity leave money from work for things she wanted for her and Olivia. She had quite a lot money saved up due to Michael not letting her pay for a thing before he went. 

After they'd parked in the parking lot closest to town, Ivy loaded Olivia into her buggy and they headed to a cafe for a drink and something to eat. They ordered their usual and sipped their drinks whilst they waited for their food to arrive. At the same time, two girls in the corner kept staring over at them, and Ivy was starting to get visibly anxious. 

"Want me to go and have a word?" Nova offered.

"No it's okay, they're probably just trying to work out if its us or not." Ivy told her. 

After a few minutes of staring the girls slowly walked over. One pushing the other in front. 

"Hi, are you Ivy?" The one in front shyly asked. 

Ivy nearly said no, but didn't want to be rude. They were probably just being polite. 

"Yes, hiya" She replied. 

"Omg you are like the luckiest person on the planet!" The one who was at the back squealed.

"I know." Ivy smiled. 

"Can we please have a selfie? With you as well Nova?" She asked. 

"It's fine with me!" Nova told them, and Ivy nodded in agreement. 

They took the picture, and Ivy actually liked it. 

"You'll have to tag me in it so I definitely see it, I like that picture." 

The girl who's phone it was beamed at her. 

"Olivia is gorgeous! She looks so much like Michael I can't believe it! Pictures don't do the similarities justice, she has his eyes!" The girl told them.

"Thank you." Ivy replied.

"Can we get a picture with her?" The girl nervously asked. 

"Sorry, I'd rather you didn't. You girls seem really nice, but if I let you guys do it, everyone will want to, and that's not fair on Olivia." She told them as politely as she could.

"Oh my,  no that's fine! Sorry I was being totally cheeky." 

"It's fine." She smiled. 

"Okay well we will leave you to it, thank you so much for the picture!" The  other girl said. 

They said their goodbyes and went back to their table with what looked to be their parents. 

Ivy wanted to get Olivia out of her buggy, but wasn't sure if the girls would try and take photos. They tried not to put too many pictures of Olivia on social media. Luckily they went before the food arrived, so Ivy asked Nova to grab a high chair and she got her out of the buggy. 

They ate their food with no more interruptions, and headed out to take a walk around the shops. It was getting close to Ivy's dads birthday and she wanted to get him something decent for his first birthday as a grandad.
