Dancing With A Stranger (GH Series Book 3)

Explosive Vision

"We have to talk, Olivia." I could barely hear Dev talking so she yanked me closer to her body and it made me crave that closeness with Carmen.

"Talk about what Dev?"

"Carmen."

"No. You brought me out tonight to cheer me up. Whatever your vision was about, I don't need...nor do I want to know."

"But only you know Olivia and it will drive me insane not working it out."

"No... I pushed Dev away from me and she looked hurt, but I turned my back on her.

Dev

"She wouldn't help or listen."

"I don't blame her though. You remember how you felt when we first starting fucking one another?"

"That was different Angel."

"How?"

"I had my death date, then it was shifted to you and..."

"She is fearing that you are going to tell her Carmen is dead."

"She's not. But she is in danger babe."

"So is Olivia if we keep letting her dance. Look." I looked over at Olivia and I could see Polly waiting on the wings. I got off my seat quickly and made my way back to Olivia and spun her around.

"What the hell..."

"We have to go..."

"Why..?" I placed my lips near Olivia's ear.

"Polly is awaiting to pounce to your left." I pulled away and I see Olivia nod her head and I took her by the hand and led her off the dance floor.

"I was just starting to unwind as well." Angel shot me Olivia a sympathetic look.

"Sorry. But she would prey on your vulnerable side right now."

"We can't let that happen." No way was allowing that toxic waste near our Olivia.

"I get it. So, what now?"

"We can stay at the table and have a few more?"

"Or how about we can just head to ours and start on the bar there?" Angel eye balled me, and I noticed Polly creeping over, so I nudged Olivia who's head shot up.

"Let's head to yours, I'm not needing her drama tonight." We all knocked back our drinks and made sure Olivia was in front of us so that Polly couldn't reach her even if she tried. Thankfully, the taxi queue was fairly quiet, and we were at Angel and I's ten minutes later. "It's been a while since I was last here."

"It certainly has." We could see Olivia trying to recall the last time she was in our apartment.

"Was it just after...you finding me wasn't it?"

"Yeah...but look at how far you have come since then. You are a completely different woman Oliva."

"You are so much stronger Olivia, both mentally and emotionally. You've always been physically strong." I see Olivia smirk at that, knowing what Angel was implying to.

"You've definitely grown a backbone and started to defend yourself."

"Most of all, you are just healthy and showing more of the real you."

"Awe guys...you will have me crying in a minute."

"We are proud of you Olivia. I don't just mean Angel and I. Callie and Ashley think the absolute world of you as well."
