Ace kept scooting closer to me till the point where our legs were practically touching, I was trying my best to pretend I wasn't affected but that failed when he brought his lips closer to my ears.
A shiver runs down my spine because of the closene...
"Olivia are you done packing?" Mom asks barging into my room without knocking.
"You do know that knocking on the door before entering is a thing, right?" I raise my eyebrow at her.
"Oh hush honey, you know I'm never going to do that, right?" she grins at me. "Packing updates?"
"I finished packing in the morning" I reply looking at the properly packed bag standing in the corner of my room with satisfaction.
"Did you pack all the things you will be needing? Check again, knowing you, you must have forgotten something or the other" she says accompanied with an eye roll.
"Hey! I know how to pack!" I cross my hands over my chest and stick my tongue out at her.
"Ya right, just like the time you packed perfectly for our trip to New York. Only t-shirts no pants." she states confidently with a grin, knowing that she has proved her point, well she is right, I did forget about pants.... but in my defence, I was forced to go to New York with them for their business trip and I randomly threw clothes in my bag.
"Ya ya, you proved your point, I'll check everything again" I shoo her out of my room, eager to get this conversation over. She leaves with a proud smile, as if she just won a championship, I roll my eyes at her and continue scrolling through Instagram.
High school was finally over so Sophie, Ella, Gracie and I decided to go on a vacation to Sophie's beach house for a couple of days. We are leaving tomorrow, which explains all the packing. My phone starts vibrating in my hand, Gracie wanted to FaceTime me.
"HEYYY" Gracie's voice booms through the phone as I pick up.
"hii Gracie" I greet her with a bright smile.
"Are you excited for tomorrow?" She asks while bouncing on her bed.
"No, why would I ever be excited to hang out with you guys?" I put on a disgusted face at which her face immediately falls.
"W-what?" she asked, her voice slightly breaking
"I'm kidding dumbass, of course I'm excited for tomorrow. Why wouldn't I be?" I finally laugh.
"You're mean" she mumbles with a glare.
After that we talked for a while about tomorrow and then decided to end the call since she had to finish packing, oh I mean- she had to start packing.
Who the hell waits till the last moment to start packing?
I was starting to get bored, and since I have nothing to do I decide to go spend some time with my dear brother.
"Carrrlllllll"
Skipping and shouting I make my way to his room on the other side of the house like a kid. By now everyone is used to me shouting around the house, at first mom tried to stop me, but soon she realised I wasn't going to stop so she gave up, and the fact that my mom and dad are both lawyers and they still find it difficult to win a argument against me makes me very proud of myself. Hehe.
I try opening the door but it's locked from inside, "Carl, let your favourite sister in!"
"You are my only sister Olivia" he says opening his door and leans on it with a smile.
"Yea sure, but I still am your favourite, so it doesn't really matter buddy" I pat his back and plop on the bed, he chuckles at my dramatics and closes the door behind him. He was playing Call Of Duty on his pS4 so I take another controller and join him. Carl is 2 years other than me. We get along 90% of the time, but during the 10% when we do not agree on something, all hell breaks loose.
After 2 continuous hours of us playing COD I get tired and head to bed after saying goodnight to Carl, it was only 11pm but I had to get up early tomorrow. We're all going in Sophie's car and she wants everyone to be on time or she'll kick our butts and leave us for the crows to shit on, her words not mine, gotta admit she's got a weird imagination. She is very excited for this trip, well....everyone is, we'll get to spend time away from studies, boys and high school drama, yay life, and It's going to be double fun since we will have the whole house to ourselves. I couldn't love my life more.
The sunlight coming through the window wakes me up, guess who forgot to the close the curtains last night?
ME! DUH!
I go to my bathroom to take a long hot shower. It was only 8am and Sophie wouldn't be here until 10, which leaves me plenty of time to get ready and fill my hungry tummy.
Olivia's outfit:

After getting dressed I apply some mascara and lipgloss, I let my hair down in it's natural waves. Once satisfied with the way I look I head down for breakfast.
The smell of pancakes fills my nose once I enter the kitchen. Carl was sitting on a barstool stuffing his face with pancakes and the chocolate syrup was all around his mouth, mmhm impressive. Not.
"Good Morning" mom and dad greet me with a smile on their face as I enter the kitchen.
"Morning" I greet them with a smile and kiss on their cheek. I grab my plate of the delicious goodness, also know as pancakes from the counter and start devouring them peacefully, they all know I love my food very very much and to let me eat without any disturbance, I don't want my food to think I don't love it whole heartedly. Don't call me dramatic, if you don't love your food this much not my fault.
After finishing our breakfast we all talk for a while, by 'talk' I mean mom and dad telling me to stay away from strangers and not accept anything they give, at which I asked, was I not even allowed to take free food?, and in return they both glared at me so I instantly shut up.
I roll my eyes at them for the millionth time "guys I'm 17 not 7, I'll be fine".
"I know sweetheart, I just want you to be safe" dad said with a gentle smile on his face,
Just when I was about to reply I heard a car honk 4 times, wow Sophie, impatient much?
"I'll be fine dad, don't worry I've gotta go now, love you guys, bye!", I tell them with a smile.
"Make sure to give me a call once you reach there and please don't end up in jail this time" my mom said rolling her eyes. Let's just say the last time the girls and I went somewhere we ended up in jail and mom, dad had to bail us out, ahh fun times. Laughing, I give her a hug to calm her nerves. I gave Carl and dad a quick hug too before taking off, "Take care lil sis" he yelled from the kitchen "Goodbye, big ol' brother" I yell back from the living room.
Grabbing my bag I go outside, "Only took you like 10 hours to come out" not expecting to hear a deep manly voice I look up to find the owner only to be shocked by who I saw.
What in the world is he doing here!?
