Monday morning the girls walked hand in hand into school and went to the cafeteria to meet up with Abbie and Casey.
"You ready for this babe?" Liv asked as she squeezed Alex's hand.
Alex adjusted her backpack and leaned into Liv. "I'm more than ready but if you aren't we can take this slow."
"Not a chance. We've wasted enough time by being scared. You are who I choose to be with and I don't care what anyone has to say." Liv leaned in and kissed Alex on the cheek.
"Good because I really didn't want to have to wait." Alex grinned and pulled Olivia over towards the table that their friends sat at waiting for them.
"It's about time you two got here." Serena teased. "I thought for sure these two were going to eat all of the breakfast sandwiches and hash browns I brought."
Abbie popped the last bite of her hash brown in her mouth and grinned. "Hey you snooze you lose. It's not our fault these two were late." Casey nodded in agreement as she munched on a sandwich.
Alex looked at her watch and then back at Abbie. "What are you talking about? We're ten minutes early."
"Ignore her babe, that's just Ab's way of saying she was hungry." Liv teased as she took a seat at the table."
"So Livy, you look pretty happy." Abbie grinned at her friend and tossed her two sandwiches. "How was your weekend."
Liv handed Alex her sandwich and opened her own and took a bite before replying. "My weekend was great. Not only did we win a spot in the championships this coming weekend but I won a new girlfriend."
Abbie and Casey started laughing and Serena awed as Alex grinned and kissed Olivia on the cheek. "I'm no prize but I have to agree that it was a pretty fantastic weekend."
"Lexie you're out of your mind, getting you was even better than winning the game Friday night." Liv squeezed Alex's hand under the table.
"Time out." Abbie called and pointed at Olivia. "You stop that right now. You start talking like that and Rena is going to expect me to talk all sweet like that."
Serena eyed Abbie and threw a piece of hash brown at her. "You don't think anyone is buying your bullshit do you? Liv has been around us for two years and Alex and Casey aren't blind. I totally have you whipped."
Casey laughed so hard orange juice almost came out of her nose. "Shit Rena, give a girl a little warning next time. That shit stings."
"Sorry Case. I didn't know you'd find it so funny." Serena handed her a couple napkins.
"Okay, on a serious note I'm glad you guys had a good weekend. I remember when you two were inseparable in grade school." Abbie smiled thinking back.
"I'm just glad you two are finally together so Alex will have something else to talk about now." Casey teased.
"Jokes on you Case, it'll just get worse now." Alex grinned and pulled Liv closer. "Now you'll have to hear even more and in detail."
"Shit" Casey smacked herself on the forehead. "Hey Ab's, wanna be my best friend."
Abbie laughed and pulled Serena closer against her side. "That's cold but I think I'll keep the best friend I've got but I'll be your friend."
"You two are so funny. " Liv tossed her empty wrapper at Abbie and threw Alex's at Casey. "Besides we won't be that bad."
"New relationships are always fun and exciting." Serena chimed in. "Now we just need to find you a girlfriend Case."
"No thank you. I am perfectly happy being single." Casey stood up and grabbed her bag. "And on that note my friends it's time to head towards first period."
Alex stood up and cleaned up the table. "How bout we all meet up at Tony's after school. I have to work but I get a dinner break around six."
"Sounds like a plan to me." Abbie smiled and Serena nodded in agreement.
"Ab's is always game when food is involved." Liv teased as they walked out of the cafeteria.
Liv was waiting for Alex outside of her last class so they could walk to her car together when Amanda came walking down the hallway.
"What are you doing on this side of the school Olivia?" Amanda asked stopping in front of her. "I thought your last class was upstairs?"
"Oh Liv's last class is upstairs but mine isn't." Alex said coming out the door behind Amanda. "To answer your question she's waiting for me."
Liv leaned in and kissed Alex. "How was class?"
Amanda's jaw dropped as she took in the scene in front of her. Fuming she asked. "What the fuck is this? You said there wasn't anything going on between the two of you."
"There wasn't when you assumed there was." Olivia stood up straight. "Alex and I were just friends."
Alex stepped between the ex-lovers. "Amanda, what goes on between Liv and I is none of your business. You lost the right to question anything she does the first time you let Nick touch you."
"Why, you little bitch." Amanda raised her hand to slap Alex but Alex caught her wrist and backed her up against the locker across the hall.
"I'm only going to say this once, you ever try to smack me again I will break your arm." Alex leaned in and said very calmly before releasing Amanda and walking back to Liv. "Let's go."
"Olivia! Are you going to let her talk to me like that?" Amanda huffed.
Olivia looked back and forth between the two. "I don't let her do anything and I think she can handle her own shit unlike some uptight bitches I know."
"Thanks for being the lying, cheating bitch you are." Alex waved over her shoulder.
Amanda stood holding her wrist as she watched Liv and Alex walk out the door
The girls sat at the table talking when Alex walked over and set two pizza's down on the table. "Dinner is served ladies."
"Alex these may be the best looking pizzas I've ever seen." Abbie moaned as she bite into her first slice of pizza.
"No need for flattery Ab's, just thank Mister Tony when he brings the cinnamon twists out." Alex sat next to Liv and stole a kiss. "Mister Tony said it's a "thank you for making my favorite cook happy." .
"Did I hear my name?" Mister Tony asked as he came up to the table with a double or of twists.
"Thank you Mister Tony" They all cheered as he put the twists down.
Liv wiped her hands on a napkin and stood up. "Thank you Mister Tony. Alex said you bought the pizza for us."
Tony shrugged and shook the hand Olivia held out to him. "Just don't tell the owner on me."
"Your secret is safe with us." Liv winked as she sat back down next to Alex.
"You girls enjoy your dinner. Lexi you take your time, I've got you covered for now." Tony squeezed her shoulder as he waved to the other girls before headed back into the kitchen.
Liv walked Alex to her front door and held her hands on the stoop. "You know, I never knew you were such a badass. I think you really scared Amanda."
"She has every reason to be scared, I wasn't kidding about breaking her arm." Alex said with a serious face. "I have a black belt in karate."
Liv held up her hands and backed up a step. "You really are a badass."
Alex pulled Liv against her chest and kissed her. "I'm your badass."
"All mine." Liv agreed and held Alex tight as the kiss lingered on.
