You Can't Lie Anymore

Chapter-26

The glass of water that was just lifted from the table, when down in a matter of seconds and shattered. But none of us cared for that as we ran upstairs, from where we had heard the scream.

We entered Olivia's room to find her trying to remove the electric curler from her hair.

"Olivia....", Mr. Brosnan demanded an explanation, and Ryan stood at the entrance of the room, one hand placed at his chest in an attempt to calm the heavy breathing that was caused due to the shock.

Mrs. Brosnan and I removed the appliance from her hair, as she made her guilty face, for the commotion that she had unintentionally caused. The men in the house moved back to the foyer, while we helped Olivia in completing her look for the evening.

 She was ready in 10 minutes, and after saying our good byes to the couple, we headed to the car.

I sat on the passengers seat while Olivia drove the car, making Ryan sit in the back seat of his own car. No one, exactly no one can win an argument from her. And tonight she wanted to drive.

"When I meant, I'll pick you guys, I meant I'll drive", Ryan grumbled in a whisper knowing Olivia will back fire, which she absolutely did.

"Shhhh, let me be careful with the love of your life", she said referring to the car, which he was quite possessive about.

"Dude you better be, you are driving with a pair of 6 inch heels", he said.

"High heels have a lot of benefits, you know Ryan?", Olivia asked.

"Like?", Ryan said.

"You can let the other person have a taste of them as well, want some? Oh maybe you've already tasted enough.", Olivia giggled, referring to the girls whose heart were broken by him, and who in return must have given him a little reward for that.

I couldn't take it anymore an I laughed. I turned around on my seat to look at Ryan who was sitting behind the driver's seat.

He looked at me, and I gave him the sad face, and in return he smiled.

"Btw, Oli, you look good", he said with the iconic smile.

"I always do look amazing honey", she said.

Olivia was back, from the depressed self she had become since a few weeks and I couldn't be more happy to see her sassiness back.

"I missed you", I said to her in a soft voice.

"Aww, I missed myself as well", looking at me for an instant she said lowly, and then looked back at the road.

"Awwwwwww, we are back", Ryan said and placed one hand on my shoulder and the other on Olivia's. We looked at each other and laughed.

We entered the school grounds, and I was proud to see that our hard work had turned up well.

The lights were up and the lightly darkening sky was covered with the web of  golden lights, all of which seemed surreal to be real.

Adam and Carter were waiting for us. I looked at Adam, and couldn't take my eyes off. He was wearing a black quilted sweatshirt with dark blue jeans and a pair of black high soled sneakers.Simple but classy, so Adam.

Carter was wearing a white full sleeved t-shirt and black jeans, with white sneakers. 

"Lucy, Olivia you look.......", before Adam could finish, Olivia interrupted,"stunning, I know bitches, we always do", she said looking at Adam.

Then she turned her gaze to Carter who was looking away. She looked at him, and then dropped her eyes to the ground. Carter moved away without even looking in her direction.
