PPPPPPP-
Party Night at the Senior Penthouse
Olivia and Viola sitting together on the secluded couch at the corner of the pool scene party.
"Champagne girls?" a uniformed waiter offered them drinks
Viola throw Olivia a questioning look.
"We will take two" Olivia getting two champagne flutes and give one to Viola
I'm not sure about this, still I accept the glass, a little indefferent about drinking again.
"If you need more drinks, the bar is there" he winks and makes his rounds, serving drinks to the party people.
Olivia scoots closer to Viola and whisper to her "You will dance with me after we drink?" she smiles and look at the dancefloor
Surprised reaction "Mmm, sure... But consider me dancing always with my left foot" i chuckles
"No one cares Viola... Don't get worried..." Olivia clink her glass to Viola "To this party! Whoever host this, got to admit its swanky" Olivia empty her glass...
"Wow!" looking at Olivia emptying easily the liquor... "Even you, is impress with this party Olivia... This is more like college party right? And that's why Paul really threat us he will jump on the bridge if we don't attend" I hesitate to take a sip of champange
"What's wrong Viola, can't take to drink again?" Monique standing infront of them
"Monique..." I prolong her name with questioning glare and adjusted my eyeglasses. It is really Monique.
Olivia not giving attention... She just keep close to Viola and not giving a glance to Monique.
"Well, i did not come here to approach you girls to exchange mean words..." she smile sweetly
I'm still giving a cold questioning stare to Monique "Really?"
"Yes really... I'm here to mend our bad encounters and mean exchange of words before... Hope you can see, im waving the white flag here"
Olivia not caring to the conversation... and the waiter comes around to their spot and Olivia gets another glass "Here" she offer to Monique
Monique accept it "Thank you Olivia"
"I'm just nice to you right now for Viola's sake" Olivia not giving any expression when she looks at Monique.
"I know your born with an awful attitude Olivia, but I'm here to make peace" Monique trying to clink glasses "Peace"
I smile "Peace" and glance at Olivia smile widely and giving cue to join
Olivia rolls eyes "To peace" and she clink glasses to them...
Monique and Olivia empty their glasses... While I am struggling to half my drink...
"I'll see you around guys" Monique wink and walk her way to the pool, blending in to the party crowd dancing happily...
Party goes on
Olivia feeling warm pulls Viola to the dance floor... "You owe me a dance" she smile mischevously
"Wait Olivia" I try to empty my glass but couldn't really...
"Let me" Olivia get Viola's drink and empty it... "Shall we, I need to work out what i drink " she pulls her to join in
"Lead the way" Olivia likes this, it gives me the excitement, and I smile somewhat flirty to her.
Olivia is surprise to Viola's reaction "Oh no! Don't give me that kind of reaction Hastings!" and laugh as they walk to the center of the dance floor
Both sinking in the dance beat; bodies rubbing against each other and all the way moving together in rhythm…
After dancing both agreed to rest their feet… Sitting again on the couch, feeling warm and pump up
The waiter is back on them again offering another drink…
"A glass of water" Olivia wiping her sweat
The waiter gives two glasses of water to Olivia and Viola…
"Thank you" I accept the glass of water "This is what I need"
"Girls!" Paul rushing to them with wide grin "Your both here" and sit on the couch, joining them.
"You're late! And here I thought your body floating on the river already while we are here partying" Olivia throwing him an angry impatient look.
"Glad you make it Paul" I'm tapping Paul shoulder
"Thanks Vi, I run into a little trouble coming here but I fixed it right on time" and he saw the waiter and gets more champagne flutes. He gives to Viola to pass to Olivia and now they have their drinks.
"What's this, FYI latecomer, we already had our drink" Olivia refusing the drink but accept it anyway
"Boo! You're no fun!" Paul tries to clink glasses with Olivia, he leans and excuses himself to Viola
I move a little, and lean backward to give way; I am in between Paul and Olivia….
Olivia glances at Paul, who is reaching for her to clink glasses…and she raises and eyebrow to him
"Come on Olivia, it's just to clink glasses with me, no hard feelings right" he grins
Olivia clink glasses right away and empty her drink….
"Still in competing spirit Olivia" Paul clink glass to Viola also "Lets drink Vi" and he empty his glass
I am getting the tension between this two and feeling jealous left out, I empty my glass too "That's nice!" a little shock absorb to what I drink…
Olivia faces Viola "You empty your glass… Are you okay?" she reaches Viola's hand and rubs her thumb on her…
OMG that tickles… "I'm okay Olivia" I'm enjoying the moment…
Paul stands up "Viola, I will borrow Olivia first, just 25 seconds" right then he grabs Olivia's hand and pulls her to the dancing crowd
"What! Don't touch me" Olivia protesting, being drag away from Viola
"Just a second Olivia, I need to talk to you about something, Vi I will return Olivia one piece don't worry" and they blend in the group of people and disappear in Viola's sight.
Side part of the pool a little further away from Viola
"Paul, one more second and you will feel my palm" Olivia giving her last warning to him, she feels so irritated just by the thought Paul holding her hand.
Paul let go of her hand… and leans on the rail-guard…
"Okay were here! You've got sixty seconds again, before I scream at your face. What's this you want to tell me? And I need to be dragged and leave Viola alone in there!" impatient revolting Olivia
Paul becomes serious "Olivia, I'm not the only one who saved you 3 years ago…"
Surprise and then her mind remembering it, blink her eyes, a little terrified Olivia… Her impatience is gone and looks at Paul's back…
"I know you don't want to open your mind about that incident…"
Olivia keeps standing still…
"But you have to know the truth… Because it's been unfair to Viola, she saved you and yet it was me you thought all this time who saved you" he smile but not happy "I've been getting all the credits from you Olivia, the hero, but the person who is always there for you when you need someone to understands you… Is really someone the hero for you?"
Olivia trembles… the terror that night, resurface… She covers her ears; she seems like hearing again and re-living that same night when she got kidnapped. "No… I don't want to remember… again no!" terrified, no matter what, she don't want to open up her mind about that night.
Paul knowing Olivia, terrified again "I'm sorry Olivia, I didn't mean to make you remember" he tried to held Olivia for a hug
Olivia, shaking off her fears and waking up the current scene "Even though I'm vulnerable right now, Don't you dare hug me…" full snob and turn her back to Paul "I disgust men, don't forget about that "and walk first to go back to Viola.
"That's the Olivia I know" Paul laugh and follow Olivia…
I am sitting alone in the couch drinking water… Watching the party people… and saw incoming Olivia and Paul following behind…
Olivia sits at the corner of the couch avoiding looking at Viola.
I smile and scoot closer to Olivia "Hey what did you two talked about?" I want to know and want to fill in what's the new catch, trying to have an eye contact with Olivia
"It's nothing" Olivia shift away and avoids the eye contact
I take a deep breath "Don't you nothing me Olivia" I'm talking in jealous tone "Look me into my eyes"
"It's nothing important Viola, I don't want to look into your eyes…" Olivia keeps looking at the opposite direction
Then I face Paul sitting at the other side of the couch "Paul what you said to her?" death glare
"I told her" Paul cut off
"Don't!" Olivia giving death glare also to Paul
He dramatically clenches his chest "Ouch…. Ahhhh you two just murder me" and make a funny face and laugh
I choose to keep my thoughts… What's wrong with Olivia now?
"On second thought… Actually tonight is a big night for me" Paul standup "I will randomly hookup any girl that will pass here" Paul trying to lighten up the mood
A waiter passes by and Paul grabs another set of champagne flutes for them… And gives two glasses each to Viola and Olivia…
Without saying a word I empty one glass down… and give a painful swallow… I will die young if I keep doing this…
Olivia give a quick glance at Viola, then quickens to empty her two flutes, watching Viola struggling to drink another one, she grab away the glass to her and ready to drink it also.
But Paul snatches the glass to Olivia "Let me, have this, I'm still low in alcohol tonight" and empty it down "This is the life… Unlimited drinks, told you this party is top notch!"
Olivia always avoiding Viola's gaze…. It becomes awkward the three of them.
"Okay Vi, Olivia" he gets the two girls attention…
No one moving to response…
"Guys come on! It's an awesome night and we are in an awesome party!" he starts to bogie
Olivia darting annoyed face to Paul "Okay Mr. Party expert! Entertain us!"
Paul gives Olivia a meaningful playful smile "I know you'll give in Olivia!"
Olivia rolling eyes but smile a little…
Looking at them exchanging words and having fun…. This is suffocating… I feel pain, so I just look away…
Paul grinning wildly, a blond girl passes by and he stops her…. "Behold! My dear Pretty Girl!"
The blond girl stops and looks at surprisingly to Paul…. "Excuse me? Do I know you?"
"My name is Paul and now you know me…" romantic moves "So miss pretty, may I know your beautiful name?" smooth moves, holding the blond girl hand.
The blond girl chuckles "I'm Tania…"
Olivia watching Paul maneuvering his savvy talks to the blond girl… This idiot will get dump for sure!
I look at Olivia; she is so serious watching Paul confessing to another blond girl… This must be so painful for Olivia, her Paul confessing infront of her.
"So Tania, the night is young want to you know go somewhere else with me?" Now Paul snaking his hand to the blond waist trying to wrap
"Another victim…" Olivia reacted and stand up to get close to Paul and stop his hooking up motive "Viola back me up here" and she glances at her and meets eyes to eyes
I keep eye to eye contact with Olivia, finding answers; I am so confused and hurt really on what is happening between Olivia and Paul. This kind of scene is hurting me Olivia.
Olivia on the eye to eye contact, flashback of that night she was kidnapped and now Viola's face is so clear to her. Olivia looks away, that memory gives her the terror she keeps locking up. And the fear almost enveloping her, she needs to lock up this terrified Olivia… Be brave… be brave. Olivia shaken her head to let go of the memory flashbacks, and didn't realized she has a teary eyes…
I look more into Olivia's face… She struggles to fight back her tears and hurt feeling seeing Paul with another girl. And this is too much for me as well…. Too much I want to run away and forget that I even know them! I stand up not knowingly and rush my way out of the party to the hallway and wait for the elevator to open, then I get inside.
Olivia quickens and following Viola to the hallway. And to see her inside, the elevator door is closing… "Viola wait!" but too late the elevator door closes already, she pounds her hand "Great, she did not wait for me!"
"What's going on? Where is Viola?" Paul confuse what is happening
"She runs away because of your stupidity!" Olivia impatiently tapping her shoes waiting for the other elevator "Come on! Come on!"
"Let's find her" Paul stands beside Olivia
Elevator door opens and Olivia hurriedly get inside and press the button down… "I don't need your help" full snob and the door close
Paul stays there scratching his forehead… "Well, I have Tania tonight" and he gets back inside the party.
Olivia rushes out of the elevator to get out of the building… Dialing her phone to call Viola…. Ring ring ring…. It keeps ringing… sighs "Agghhh! When Viola did become stubborn!" getting angry… she runs to the open pavement, searching for her…
"I want to go home" I am so controlling myself not to cry… I feel so stupid walking out there, I'm really stupid creating a scene but it's too much, I can't breathe. And I call a taxi cab and get inside.
Olivia saw Viola getting inside a taxi; even though she feels a little dizzy she jogs to catch up the leaving taxi… "Viola!" keeps running to chase the taxi but she is falling behind…
Traffic ahead and the taxi stop… Just then…
Olivia stands infront of the taxi and stretches her hands sideways…
The taxi driver honks the horn to make Olivia out of the way… "What's with all the teenagers nowadays? Causing a lot of trouble!"
Olivia stand still not moving a muscle and the lines of cars getting long because of them.
Honking of cars all over the street….
"Here Mr. Taxi driver" I hand him my fare and get out of the taxi….
Olivia seeing Viola out of the car she hurriedly walks to get near to her, to hug.
After Olivia out of the street the cars finally move on…
I avoided Olivia's hug and walk pass through her…
"What's wrong Viola?" Olivia despite her fatigue chasing the taxi awhile; follows behind Viola… "You're like Paul now! Ashamed of me, I only did that to stop the taxi because you're running away from me; I didn't mean to make those cars stop!" she is explaining her action. " And I have no idea what's going on with you. You just took off and leave me!"
"I'm not ashamed of you Olivia and I'm not Paul!" I'm feeling angry of what she's talking, so clueless
"Okay I'm crazy, I know I am" Olivia keeps talking and walking "Like Paul said you're too nice and good to be part of my crazy world!" she exaggeratedly said Crazy world "Your different from us, we are stupid and idiots… Fine I'll take that, I am like that! So now can you please tell me what the problem is?"
"There is no problem Olivia" I keep walking
Olivia following "Then fine, I can do this walking whole night! I will follow you"
Walking…
Walking…
Walking…
"Can we stop for a bit?" Olivia's feet starting to cramp, her shoe is not fit for running and walking long distance.
I keep walking….
"Viola!" Olivia falling behind
I don't want to interact with her, if I keep ignoring Olivia, she will give up.
"Where are we going? We've been walking like forever! I demand an answer Viola!" Olivia stands and put her hands on waist, demanding gesture.
"I'm going home…" I slow my walking
Olivia feels funny and mad same time, rub her forehead "Going home… Then we could have ride a car and go home! I can't believe this!"
Oh yeah this Olivia's attitude, this is the reason why I can't leave her before because I'm too worried for her… Right now it is giving pain to me… "Let's separate going home Olivia…" I keep still walking slow
"Will you stop walking away Viola" Olivia leaning and sits on the railing of the street… "My feet is killing me really" and she is in pain taking off her shoes "But I'm not giving up walking barefooted this time, just spare me a little time, please" her words is a little pleading
This time of the night, there are only few cars passing…
Dazzling…
I look around and find Olivia's tossing her shoes away and barefooted on the pavement, rubbing her legs and her nose wrinkles as she's feeling pain. "Maybe call your driver to bring you home" she's in physical pain, though I get this feeling, but I don't really want Olivia to suffer pain.
Olivia still avoiding eye to eye contact with Viola… "I don't need a driver, I can walk you home"
I take a deep breath and exhale "With those painful feet? Why you're so stubborn Olivia! You're getting in my nerves already! This isn't funny anymore!" I snap at her
Olivia gets startled to realize Viola is really mad this time, so she flashes her bracelet…
I slowly hold my other wrist and feel the metallic accessory… I keep still not flashing my bracelet.
Olivia now feels the seriousness of the situation, Viola not flashing her bracelet that means… "Show the bracelet now Viola! And Lets renew our feelings!" Olivia voice angry and shaking…
Renew our feelings? I'm so tired of renewing my feelings for you. It's now or never, and it comes to this… "Olivia I am certain of my feelings… I don't need to renew it anymore"
"I'm demanding you to renew it Viola!" Now Olivia stands up
Given up "I should give this back to you then" slowly I motion to unlock the bracelet
"Don't you dare take that off!" she now shouts at Viola, her anger watching her taking off the bracelet.
Anger and defeat "You're still demanding Olivia, can't you see, I can't keep this feeling anymore! I'm so tired of hiding it! "I'm tearing apart saying that… "And it's hurting me so much, seeing you in pain too, because you can't have Paul. I should be happy you and him; are like water and oil but, it's the opposite Olivia, it hurts me a lot when I see you lonely and can't have the one you love."
Olivia confuse and surprise to hear that "What? No! No no! Paul? Why Paul is in this conversation? I'm totally over him! "
"I hope you understand" I unlock the bracelet and holding it "I love you Olivia, and this feeling is getting in the way… please let me go"
Olivia biting her lip "Why you can't wait Viola? Why you can't wait! Really, why?!"
"Wait for what?!" seriously wait, what to wait, I keep waiting and renewing my feelings!
"I love you too!"
"What?!" that's surprise me, even we had this heavy drama right now, I can really hear Olivia saying that. I raise an eyebrow can't believe it "Say it again?"
Olivia raises an eyebrow too "I already said it, so keep that bracelet!"
"Okay" I'm putting on the bracelet again
Olivia watching Viola struggle to lock the bracelet, walks near to her "Let me help you" she locks it "Don't you dare take that off again"
"So this is so important huh" I rub my thumb on the shiny bracelet
"It is, that's why I given to you personally" Olivia looking down… "Slap me Viola"
"No way! What's this again?" sighs… "I better leave…"
Olivia pulls Viola closer to her… Fighting a tremble as she clearly sees Viola's face now… And close her eyes. "Stay with me Viola" shaking voice and unsteady footing, Olivia manages to stand still. "3 years ago, that night… I was too frightened for my life; I knew I'm going to die anytime. I'm alone in a place that I don't know, only I can hear is the insect rustlings, the leaves and trees I can smell it, the wet grasses and the muddy soil beneath my legs…"
"Olivia" she is holding tight my hands, and she is trembling… I can sense her terrified "You don't have to this…"
"My eyes and my mouth are covered, I can't see anything I can't call help anymore, my hands are tied, the wounds in my wrist and my legs it sores as time passes by. Because of fear, I rely on my other senses…The smell of cigarette, the sounds of his breathing... "Somebody help me…" almost no sound coming out of Olivia's voice right now, she's living again on that night, she is choking that same time.
I can't help not to cry, Olivia is struggling again "Olivia please don't do this to yourself."
"Suddenly I was touched, someone is touching me… My blood rushes, his touching me! No don't touch me! Please, just kill me you son of a bitch but never ever ruined my dignity! But I can't shout and he keeps touching me… and suddenly the cover on my eyes pulls down, a dim light opens up my eyes, I can see face his face? I was blinded of fear, my mind is scrambling, everything is mixed up, I'm so terrified… And a yell" Olivia tightens her grip to Viola's hand; her lips shaken moments pass it turn into a smile "It is you Viola… You're the one I slapped that night, you're the first person I saw but I was too frightened, I mistakenly took you as the man who kidnapped i was slapped back and saw Paul..." Olivia's tears falling down realizing her mistake that night.
I hug Olivia, so tight i wan't to make her feel everythings gonna be alright.
"I'm so sorry Viola, i trap you in my memory, i'm so sorry i chosed to erase and forget about you. I am to coward to remember that night... Im so sorry Viola, it takes me years to learn you saved me that night! I'm so sorry we are always together but i keep treating you like your just an ordinary person not worth my time... I hope you forgive me and accept my deepest thank you... You save me on not dying that night and save me keep my dignity..."
"Olivia" i am crying now, all the years i didn't really take the pride of saving a girl 3 years ago but now... this feels so right and im so proud of myself.
Olivia sniffles and wipe her eyes and chuckles to see Viola's crying too "Okay this is too embarassing!"
I cant help now, I'm really crying...
Olivia, takes out her handkerchief and take off her eyeglasses wipe Viola's tears "God your a cry baby Viola" and she puts back her eyeglasses and kiss Viola's forehead after that she rested her forehead on her... they keep steady like that to wait till their tears stop.
Times passes by and the crying moments is gone...
Both girls sitting on the sidewalk pavement, and now they keep exchanging smiles and chuckles...
Olivia takes a deep breath "I'm not done yet Viola..."
"Mmmm it will make us cry again?" i give her a serious look
"I don't think so" Olivia wrap her arms around Viola's shoulder and kiss Viola's cheek and get serious again "I'm sorry Viola"
I pull away from Olivia "Sorry again? Good sorry or bad sorry?"
"Come here you!" Olivia puilling Viola more closer this time "It's a good sorry" death glare to Viola
"Mmm okay, your scary" I chuckles
"I'm sorry i make you wait, its more like i waited for the right moment to tell you how i feel for you... I love you Viola... I love you ever since i don't know but you give me this feeling when we are together..."
I give unbelieve expression "When we are together? Really? I don't feel any feelings before Olivia, are you sweetining to me this time?"
Olivia rolls eyes "Of course you can't feel it, i'm not stupid to be obvious. And besides I can control what i feel, unlike you. Clues are all over your face... " chuckles
"Excuse me! I don't feel any about you since day one, I'm just worried" hard blushing
"So your saying I'm wrong?" Olivia making a face, questioning
"Not so wrong but totally not accurate" Olivia so sweet...
Olivia gets serious again "Your always there for me, i keep asking myself why your so kind to me? I'm so mean at you but your giving me back the kindness and confusion... It's the first time I felt i have someone i can trust, though everyone really hates me but you see the goodness in me. Though i can't really say I have a goodness"
"I can think of few goodness" that makes me think also what is goodness in Olivia.
"Like what?"
"Mmmm let me think" OMG i can't think right now when she's expecting right away
Olivia's Death glare...
"Aghhh... your..mmm okay... i give up, there's no goodness in you Olivia, i'm just totally into you maybe that's why I lied to myself there is goodness in you" I smiles to her
Olivia thinking "Well! I like being the mean high school girl who gives cold shoulder to everyone..."
"Yeah it seems like your best suited to that!"I'm agreeing, to be honest i was hooked by her awful attitude
"And someone named Viola turned me into like this" Olivia smile
"What like this?" seriously
"I don't know what like this, maybe kissing a girl" Olivia leans closer and gives Viola a lingering kiss..
Kissing...
Biting my lips as our lips parted...
"Acting shy on me now Viola? I remember last time you moan" Olivia teasing the blushing brunette
Oh shutup!" this is embarrassing
Silence between them...
"Viola will you forgive me?" Olviia this time acting coy "Forgive me I erased you in my memory, and also forgive me for hurting your feeling unintentionally"
I look at her "Your forgiven, you don't need to ask"
"You see, we had already an issue, and I don't want to drag your name more... So i waited for the right moment, i know we are falling for each other, i just don't want you to think that you'r only a replacement. And i'm not wrong, your immediate reaction about me and Paul, so I keep asking why can't you wait. I have this perfect scene for us Viola, but well I think being with you right now and we are able to talk what we feel is somewhat perfect already" Olivia, kissing Viola's cheek again.
"Wow your a sweet talker problem solver Olivia and i have no idea your such a kisser too" i can't help not to smile to discover this kind of Olivia
"Keep talking like that, and you can't hear any words from me and even a single kiss ,not anymore" annoyed Olivia
"Im sorry, i'm just happy"
Night wind blows and gives shiver to them, it's getting cold.
"I'm happy too Viola" Olivia stands up "I should take you home"
I stand up and embrace Olivia "I love you Olivia, being with you feels so right"
Olivia tighten the embrace "I love you too Viola..."
Both girls continues talking as they wait for the car to pick them to go home.
Somewhere... Paul keep dialing his phone... "Where are they now, why both not answering my calls" scratching his forehead.
Note: And i forgot Olivia and Viola still in high school ^_^
