Chapter 13

Olivia

Tonight’s my dad’s party. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous. Things have been going great with Luke. We’re pretty much living together, just in different apartments. I’m doing well in school and working a couple days a week at the studio. Luke decided what job he was going to take last night, and I’m really happy for him. So, I should be feeling happy. I am, but I’m also worried about how my parents are going to react to Luke and me being a couple. I’m just hoping that being at the doctor’s house with people around will force them to be civil. I’m not holding my breath, though.

Luke had a staff meeting after school, so he’s meeting me at the party. He’s missing his family’s Friday barbeque for this, and I appreciate him even more for it. I chose a sleeveless short dress with different color blue flowers embroidered all over it. The back has a low v but is also covered on the sides with other material so it’s not too revealing. I have on blue heels with a feather design, and my hair is up in a complicated bun. I think I look pretty good, and I can’t wait for Luke to see me. He always makes me feel like the most beautiful woman in the room. I also can’t wait to see him in his suit. I just hope I don’t swoon to the point of passing out.

“Olivia, there you are,” my mother says as I walk in. She motions for me to twirl around and then nods. “I’m glad you decided to look respectable for your father’s party.”

I bite my tongue and smile. The woman acts like I’m in hooker wear every time she sees me. I may look a little sexy sometimes, but I always strive for classy. “Thanks for your approval, Mom.”

“Don’t be sarcastic tonight. This is your father’s night, and you will not embarrass him.” She leads me to the head table where my dad, Rose, the doctor, his wife, and Blaine are sitting. Blaine’s the douche who tried to molest me in the bathroom. I knew he’d be here, but I’m so not in the mood. I’m on edge enough without having to dodge him and his constant leer.

There are two empty chairs, one next to Rose and one next to Blaine. I, of course, go to sit next to Rose. “Olivia, why don’t you sit next to Blaine?”

“Liv’s going to sit next to her guest. I’m holding his seat for him.” God, I love my little sister.

“C’mon, Rose. We both know Olivia doesn’t have anyone here for her. So quit pretending you’re holding a seat. She needs to come over here and be friendly with me for once.”

“She’s not pretending.” I was so freaked out by the thought of being nice to him that I didn’t sense Luke behind me like I normally do. He looks so good I almost swoon to the floor. Which is pretty much my usual reaction to him in a suit.
