New Life

Chapter 3

Boundaries.

Olivia and Trevor came back from their interviews, both of them ecstatic about the fact that they actually got accepted. Olivia handed him a beer as she sat down beside him on the sofa, they were looking through the albums the Marshals left and smirked at how real the pictures looked.

"thank you" Trevor said as he took the beer from her, he pointed to a picture of them sitting next to each other at what looked like a bar or something.

Olivia chuckled "we look so possessive in this picture... I hooked you in and your hand is on my knee, please shoot me if I'm ever that possessive"

Trevor stifled a laugh "if you are ever that possessive I doubt that it'll be with me. Probably your boyfriend, what's his name? Cassidy?"

She rolled her eyes "wow you really need to get your information updated, Brian and I never dated."

"What about Elliot? Surely you miss him?" he asked cautiously.

She scowled "what about him? Of course I miss him, he was my partner for the last ten years. He was my best friend and I loved him... As a friend."

He could see that there was more to it than she was letting on but he decided to leave her be, it wasn't his place to be prying after all.

A knock on the door pulled him out of his thoughts, he got up and smirked "I'll get the door, you can keep looking through this if you want."

"thanks, are we expecting someone though?" she asked cautiously.

He shook his head "no, we're not expecting anybody."

He went over to the door and opened it, a small smile on his on his face when he saw two beautiful women standing at the door "hi"

One of the women smiled brightly at him "hey there, you must be the new neighbour, my sister and I heard about your arrival a few days ago and decided to come over and say hi."

He smiled "well that's nice of you, my name is Michael by the way"

She extended her hand to him "I'm Bethany and this is my sister Alicia".

Alicia took his hand and gave it a good shake, while her eyes explored his body "it's lovely to meet you Michael."

Olivia noticed that Trevor had been at the door for quite a few minutes and decided to check it out, she got up and walked up behind him "Mike, who is it?"

He turned to her and smiled "it's just two of our neighbours who came to say hi, that's Bethany and this is her sister Alicia. Ladies this is my wife, Julia."

Olivia noticed the way both of their smiles faded as soon as he said the word 'wife' and she immediately knew that these two women were going to have an issue with her. She shook each of their hands and forced a smile "hi, it's so nice to meet you both."

Alicia nodded, her eyes focused on the couple and the way they reacted to each other, Trevor pulled Olivia into his side and gave her the most loving smile he could muster before looking back at her and Bethany.

"So we have to leave now, but we're having a barbecue this weekend and you're both welcome to join us. That way you'll get to meet everybody else." Bethany said while Alicia just kept staring at them.
