Poisoned Love

Chapter 5

It was Ethan's birthday. His mother had always taken care of the invitations and so far it wasn't  going too well for him. His birthdays were always full of his parents' business associates who were obviously decades older than him. Even though it was kind of last minute , he decided to invite Olivia and have her bring Khloe. He had a way to make her bring Khloe anyways.
He dialed Olivia's number on his phone.
"Hey Olivia,  am celebrating my birthday today, mind coming over?" Ethan asked.
"Coming over?" He could hear the uncertainty in her voice.
"Yeah....for my party..."  He answered.
"Oh ....ok." She let out a chuckle.
"And find a way to bring Khloe with you. You owe me." He added.
"Why Khloe? Olivia asked.
"The more , the merrier...right? He asked.

Olivia knowing better than to argue, dismissed it as she thought of ways to make Khloe attend the party because she wasn't always the party type.
Ethan had no worries about Cam because as far as the argument they had had, she was definitely going to show up.

Olivia's POV
I knew Khloe was obviously in school, but her session was almost over . So I decided to wait for her on the school grounds. It would be easy to locate her because she had a favorite spot of parking her car. She believed the parking space on the north side was more spacious. Besides.....who wouldn't recognize a red Ford Mustang Shelby GT500.It had been her mum's car.
I got to where her car was and sat at the bonnet.

"Olivia," I had someone call me from behind.
"Oh , it's you. Good. Get in the car . We are going to your place. We have a party to attend at seven o'clock." I said grabbing the keys from her.
"You are lucky I have nothing to do today. So which party is this?" Khloe asked.

I explained to her about Ethan's party. As I expected she was trying to back out but fortunately or unfortunately she had no excuse. When we got to her house we went straight to her room but not after bumping into Mrs. Parker.
"It's a rich people party, so we need something cool to wear." I told Khloe.
"Yeah, obviously." Khloe said rolling her eyes. "Come on." She added pointing me to a direction.
She inserted a key into the door . I had never been to this room. She kept her mum's stuff here when  the new wife came in.
"We can choose from here." Khloe said opening a big walk in closet.
"Yeah. Maybe you should just let me do the choosing because you will make us wear sacks to that party." I  added returning a dress she had taken from the rack.
I pulled out two cocktail dresses. One was burgundy and the other was royal blue.
From the corner of my eye, I could see Khloe looking through stuff too. But unlike me she wasn't looking for something to wear but perhaps she was just missing her mum. I handed her the burgundy dress and some nude stilettos.
"It's 4:30pm we should probably start getting ready," I suggested. Khloe went down the hell hole of depression when her mum died and I wasn't ready to see her go down the same road all over again.
"Yeah, we definitely need extra time to do your eyebrows " Khloe added bursting into laughter.
"Too soon." I shaked my head remembering the time I tried twizzing my eyebrows and obviously the outcome was disastrous. The eyebrows ended up uneven and thinned out. That was the beginning of me doing my eyebrows because previously they had always been perfect.
They say an outfit is a reflection of one's mood. According to the outfits I had picked for us, the night was going to be an awesome night.
