Olivia POV
"I would like to have a crispy bacon burger with some fries beside it." Ava said her order and I just sat there staring at her, hearing her voice.
I quickly recovered my position the moment her gaze met mine. I knew she was speaking because I was staring at her lips, but I just couldn't take my gaze away from her. Or her lips.
"Olivia" she said a bit louder. "Ohh, I am sorry." I replied awkwardly looking away from her and to the waiter. "Your order." he asked.
"Yes, I would like to have a Ceaser Salad with garlic bread. Thank you" I said sweetly and he went away taking our order's.
"I need you to stop looking at me like that" I heard her say making me look at her dumbfoundedly even though I knew what she was talking about.
"Like what" I replied. She chuckled but I knew it was a sarcastic one. "Ohh, you know. You keep staring at me, and now you were looking at my lips." I felt a blush creeping up my cheeks hearing her say that so openly.
Before I could say I heard a voice which I hadn't hear it in years. "Oh My God, I knew it was you" she said walking over to us. I looked at her basically glaring at her.
"Hi Jenna" I said with no emotion. She raised her eye-brows at the tone I used to address her. She ignored what I said and continued. "Wow, you live here now." she questioned
"I was transferred her for my job."
"Ahh nice, are you on a date" she questioned staring at Ava. Before Ava could speak she continued. "Hi, I am Jenna. Olivia's ex girlfriend, and I must say aren't you a bit young for her to date you." she said then turned to me.
I just kept ignoring for whatever she was saying my eyes were on the empty plate not having the courage to speak up or look in the girl's eye who I caught cheating and told me, looking at me in the eye's I am not capable of love.
"Damm, Liv now you are going for younger girls. So eager to date someone." she replied using her bitchy sweet tone thinking she is winning something. I looked up at her, shocked she has the courage to say this even after what she did. I could feel tears pooling in my eye, making my vision blurry.
She returned her gaze at Ava and leant a bit closer to her. "Little tip from me, she is the girl who needs attention all the time like a kid, so if youâ". I quickly stood up not wanting her to continue anything. Her bitchy face with a big smirk on it.
"You know what Jennaâ"I was stopped mid-sentence when Ava stood coming in between me and taking a hold of my wrist tightly. "Actually, just so you know me and my girlfriend here were having a sweet time before you interrupted it with spreading your negativity and insulting her in front of me. That's a cheap move you did here. I might seem a little young but I am pretty sure I am older enough for her to be with me who is mentally and physically older than you. I am not tired or bored of giving the attention what my girlfriend needs like you. Now if a young girl like me can do it and not an adult like you when you were dating, damm that is your red flag not her's. Just so you know I may be young but I am very protective over my girlfriend and if someone even tries to hurt her or make tears appear in her eyes, will probably die." she said typically glaring at her, she turned to look at me and wiped tear's off my face which I hadn't realized has fallen.
Her thumb stroking my cheeks gently, I could feel she was controlling herself for not to just punch the fuck out of her. She turned to look back at her and stepped up a bit close to her which was a benefit because she was few inches taller than her.
"So Miss Jenna it was nice meeting you but I would like to go back with my girlfriend on peaceful date we were having when you rudely interrupted. Thank you." She said and took me back to my chair pulling it out for me for me to sit and went back to her place ignoring that Jenna was standing there in shock at what just happened.
I was in shock to not having a hinge that Ava would react this way. I heard Jenna walking away probably with all the dignity she has left.
"Are you okay?" she asked me. I looked up at her, she was looking at me with, I dare say it love in it. "Umm yea, I guess" I said lowly. "You guess" she said back.
"What do I say, Ava. That she was my ex who I caught cheating on me and then instead of saying that she is sorry she said looking in my eyes deadly that I don't deserve to fall in love, that nobody can love me. And that's what my first girlfriend told me when she got to know what I do and guess what, you told me the same thing in the fucking club Ava, so you tell me am I okay hearing three people who I have and had liked or even fallen in love say those things back to me." I said to her slightly raising my voice at her making everyone around us looking at us. I sighed getting up.
"I should go, not hungry anymore and sorry for causing a scene." I said and left not wanting to hear her say anything, I know what she will say that I don't have to right to shout at her, that she helped me when my ex tried to embarrass me in front of her or the night when I was dumb and not thinking with my heart and just tried to kill her.
Looks like I seriously don't deserve to be loved, because looking at my past I am the one who fucks up everything in every relationship, well in case of Ava's it wasn't a relationship but I should have thought better and..........
Did I just confess to her that I am falling for her.
.................
Walking in the Lopez Mansion I was met with everyone sitting on dinning table having their dinner. So much of planning of not having dinner. They all looked at me but I ignored them and walked away going upstairs in the guest room, slamming the door behind me.
Liam Pov
"Did she not have her food" I said thinking what just happened.
"Did something happened." Andrea wondered out loud.
"Did the well planned date not go well." Theo said sipping his red wine.
"Honey, I wouldn't say that was a well planned date." Mrs Lopez said. "Whattâ"
"No, the well planned forced date din't go well" Ava said making her presence known with greasy bags in her hand. Take out, packed food.
"And to answer Andrea question, Jenna happened her ex and weren't you on liquid diet" she said but we ignored the liquid diet part only being stuck at the name Jenna was making me, Andrea, Mom and dad standing up immediately.
"What was she doing here?" Andrea questioned. I was fuming with anger, after what that Jenna bitch did to my sister, Liv was devastated, crying, starving herself. It took her time to recover from it.
"Did she do anything to her?" Dad question making his overprotection coming out.
"I should go check up on her." Andrea said, walking me following behind her with mom and dad.
"No wait" Ava said making us stop. "Is it okay ifâif I go and check up on her." she said stuttering a bit making us a bit shock. She wants to check up on Liv.
"Yea sureâ" "Honey we-" Dad interrupted mom but mom raised her hand to stop him. "James, Ava honey please go and check up on her and make sure she is okay. That Jenna girl broke Liv when they were together, she hasn't spoke many things but she hasn't said anything to us." Ava nodded her head walking upstairs.
"Now that everything will be alright between Ava and Olivia, Mom don't you think there is too much salt in the pasta." said Theo making the tension in the room down and everyone chuckle. This dude is something else.
"Liam bro, look at me" Theo asked, I turned and looked at him with a mischievous smile on his face which made me smile too. "Are you thinking what I am thinking" he said, "Definatedly"
"Boys what are you both thinking." Dad asked furrowing his eye-brows.
"No offence to you Mr Miller, but this is the kids plan and not the adults" he turned to Andrea. "Do you wanna be with the kids party or the adult." he asked her mischeviously.
