Faulty Reservations.
Olivia let out a soft gasp when she saw Liza strut into her home, she could not believe how gorgeous she was. Her long blonde hair flowed perfectly down her back, her eyes a deep shade of blue while her lips were the perfect shade of red. She was tall and had a brilliant blush to her cheeks, in short she looked like she stepped off a runway.
Olivia suddenly felt very insecure, seeing this woman suddenly made her feel so unworthy of her own husband. She forced a smile "hi, you must be Liza"
She smiled down at Olivia, showing off her set of pearly whites "yes I am... And you must be Olivia"
She nodded "yeah that's me."
She pursed her lips "are you going to help me with these bags? They are heavy and I can't carry them myself."
Olivia looked down at the massive suitcase and scoffed "I can't carry that."
"Why not?" she asked sweetly before doing a once over of Olivia "if you can carry all that weight everyday... my suitcase will be a breeze."
Olivia scowled up at Liza and took a deep breath "my weight is none of your business and if you are such a smartass then you can carry your own bag." she spat before storming off.
Trevor watched his wife storm off and let out a sigh "Liza do me a favour, don't comment on Olivia's weight when you are the one who just showed up at her house uninvited."
Mary heard her son speaking to Liza and scoffed "Trevor don't you dare speak to Liza like that. She came all the way to Oregon to be with you, and now you are mistreating her because of some woman you have only known for a few months."
Trevor scowled "mom I appreciate that you came all the way, but you did not need to bring Liza here."
"But Trev, you've been so alone since she left, I just figured having her back in your life would make you happy again." she said innocently.
Trevor shook his head "I am happy mom. I love my life... Liza walked out on me, on our wedding day. I-" he sighed "make yourselves at home, I need to check on something."
Casey and Eva stood in the kitchen and watched as Trevor rushed up the stairs, they immediately knew that this was going to be a very long week. Thomas walked into the kitchen and shook his head "hey ladies... I'm Thomas, Trevor's brother."
"I'm Eva and this is my cousin Casey... Nice to meet you" Eva said before moving over and shaking his hand.
He smirked "likewise... So tell me, Olivia, is she single?"
"No" Casey scowled "she isn't..."
"Okay cool, so where's her boyfriend?"
"he just ran up the stairs after her." Eva answered before narrowing her eyes at him "but you can't say anything."
He raised his hands in surrender "My lips are sealed... But now I need your help."
"With what?" Casey asked, crossing her arms over her chest.
"my mom is on a wife hunt and if she finds out that Trevor is seeing someone, she will either try to ruin his relationship or she will try to pin Liza on me. Don't get me wrong, she is hot as hell, but she isn't really my type. She is a bit to full of herself so uhm, will one of you play along if push comes to shove?" he whispered nervously.
Casey scoffed "sorry darling I have a girlfriend."
"What about you?" he asked.
Eva smirked "I'll think about it."
...
Trevor walked into the bedroom he shared with his wife and sat down beside her with a small smile "honey talk to me."
She shook her head "I don't want to talk."
He gently pulled her into his arms "Baby please just talk to me. What's bothering you the most? Is it my mom? Liza?"
"why would your mother bring your ex-fiancée into our home Trevor?" she shook her head "and that's not even what's bothering me, it's the fact that Liza could make me feel so inferior just by being here, she didn't even have to say a thing... But then she went and she called me fat, as if I don't feel horrible enough with all this damn baby weight." she sobbed out.
He allowed her to cuddle into his embrace and let out a sigh "I'm sorry you have to go through this, I'll speak to my mother and get Liza on the next flight out of here. Also I already had a word with Liza so I doubt she will be messing with you again."
"I hate feeling like this, I feel so ugly and fat... I just wanna go home" she sobbed out.
Trevor furrowed his brows "what do you mean? Do you want to go to New York?" he cupped her cheek "are you not happy here?"
"I don't know!" she spat, getting irritated with all the questions he was asking. She scoffed "I'm going to sleep, you can go out there to your family and Liza."
"what if I went down and made up an excuse to join you in here?" he asked, hoping it would cheer her up.
She shook her head "no. I don't want to have sex, just get out. I want to be alone."
He let out a soft chuckle before leaning down to her bump "hey there kiddo, I know you've been super well behaved until now... But do me a favour, stop making your mother think all of this crap. Can you believe she thinks she's ugly and fat" he scoffed "she must be crazy because whenever I look at her I see a gorgeous woman who is glowing while carrying my little one."
She rolled her eyes "nice try but sweet talk won't soften me up..."
"Well then, what will soften you up?" he asked with a soft chuckle.
A small smile tugged at her lips "a kiss, and pizza..."
He laughed softly "I'll do you one better, I will give you four kisses and I'll get us all pizza, but I'll get a special one for you and I."
He leaned in and placed a gentle kiss to her lips, cupping her cheek as his tongue slipped in between her lips. She let out a soft moan "can we skip dinner and just stay in. I changed my mind on that sex bit."
He let out a hearty laugh "as much as I want to, I can't right now babe, if I stay up here too long they will get suspicious."
She pursed her lips "okay... I understand, I'll take a cold shower."
He sighed "Liv I promise I will make it up to you... I'm sorry babe."
She forced a smile before giving him a chaste peck "it's okay."
He watched her walk into the bathroom and let out a soft groan, this was going to be a difficult week, especially with Olivia being pregnant and her hormones being all over the place. He walked out of the room and scowled when he saw Liza walking toward the main bedroom.
He stopped her "where are you going?"
"That is my room right?" she asked with a sweet smile.
"No. That's the main bedroom, it's Olivia's." he said.
She clicked her tongue "what's your deal with her? Every second word you say is Olivia..."
"Liza don't go there." he warned.
She rolled her eyes "fine. So where is my room?"
"down the hallway, the furthest one from this room."
"where's your room?" she asked with a smirk, reaching for the lapels on his jacket "I counted four rooms. We could share"
He pushed her hands off "no. I am sorted, don't you worry about me."
He walked down the stairs and sighed when he saw his mother making Casey and Eva redo some of the decorations. He reached for Eva and helped her down the ladder "Eva be careful."
She smiled up at him "thanks Trev... Your mom booked us all in at a restaurant nearby"
Trevor sighed "mom how many people did you book for?"
"Six people. That's all of us." Mary said before biting into one of the cookies Eva offered her.
"We are seven people in total, so who isn't invited?" Trevor asked with a frown.
Mary smirked "Olivia. After the way she mistreated my future daughter in law, I don't see her as a part of this family."
Trevor scoffed "that's unbelievable mom! You don't even know her. Olivia was injured recently, you saw that she was in hospital and then Liza disrespected her about not being able to carry that damn heavy suitcase and suddenly she's the bad person."
Mary stood to her feet "Trevor James Langan don't you dare speak to me with that tone! I don't want that woman sitting around a table with me, and that is final. I have no idea why you are covering for her but I don't like her."
Trevor shook his head, completely appalled by his mother's behaviour "Mom you can't jus-"
"Trevor stop." Olivia said softly.
He turned to face her and saw the tears in her eyes "Liv-"
"no. That is your mother, and you have to respect her. I am okay with staying here, I don't feel well either way." she said with a tight lipped smile.
"Even she knows not to argue with me" Mary said with a smirk. She scoffed before turning to Olivia "and don't you dare think this will get you into my good books."
Olivia smiled back at her "trust me when I say that your good books is the least of my worries."
Mary scowled "watch the way you speak to me."
Thomas sighed "mom can we just go please. We're going to be late for our reservation"
Trevor shook his head "I am not going"
"Why not?" Liza asked.
"neither am I, thank you so much for the invite Mrs Langan but I already have plans" Casey said with a forced smile.
Eva was about to protest but stopped when Olivia shook her head. Casey turned to her cousin and pursed her lips "but Eva is free..."
"I am?" she asked confused.
Olivia nodded "you are. I'm going straight to bed, I don't feel well so you go and enjoy yourself."
Thomas smirked "plus I will be there to keep you company..."
A small smile tugged at her lips "okay then I accept."
Mary scoffed "Trevor are you coming along yes or no?"
He shook his head "no I won't be joining you all, have a good time."
"I booked this dinner to get to spend time with you, we have been apart for a year... I missed you son" Mary said with pleading eyes.
"You and I will have all the time to catch up over the next week... How long will you all be staying?" he asked as calmly as he could.
"we leave on the 6th of January..." Thomas pipped up.
Olivia swallowed the lump that arose in her throat and shook her head, sniffling softly "we thought you were just staying for Christmas."
"Well you clearly thought wrong." Mary shot back with a scowl.
Casey took hold of Olivia's hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze "Liv will you help me in the kitchen for a second?"
She nodded before following Casey into the kitchen, she let out a groan "is it wrong of me to say that I hate them? Because I totally hate them."
"Look I know they are massive pains in the ass but you have to remember that is Trevor's mother... You both need to come clean and tell them about everything before things get pulled out of proportion." she whispered, checking that nobody was in earshot of them.
Olivia rolled her eyes before reaching for the jar of cookies on the counter "I just wanted them to settle in and then we'll tell them, give them a day or two to get to know me... Clearly that won't work because I became enemy number one by default."
"Are you crying because you're sad or..." she asked, seeing the tears that dropped from her friends eyes.
Olivia wiped her tears and shook her head "I swear this kid finds joy in seeing me cry..."
She chuckled "hey atleast you can still crack jokes and aren't bitter"
"My life is a joke at this point, I don't even know if my husband is going to sleep beside me tonight or if he'll sleep downstairs to make things look less obvious." she scoffed "this is pathetic."
"and on top of that you now also have Liza to worry about. She looks like she would pounce on Trevor with any opportunity she gets... She clearly can't be trusted."
"Even if she had a halo above her head and angel wings coming out of her back I still would not trust her. She clearly wants Trevor and she looks like the type that won't go down without a fight. Only difference is, she already lost, they are just unaware."
Casey furrowed her brow "so what, you're just going to allow all of this?"
She shrugged "I am going to let them think they won, and then at the right time I'm going to make them aware of everything."
"so this dinner, why not put up a fuss?"
"me staying makes them think they've won... Eva is there to inform me if they start scheming. If they thought their faulty reservations were smart then they will be speechless when my plan unfolds."
Casey chuckled "not only is that kid making you cry, it's making you crazy too. Like insane and almost bpd'ish."
Olivia threw her with a cookie "that is not funny" she chuckled.
Casey smirked "but it did make you laugh so I win"
Trevor walked into the kitchen and leaned down to press a kiss to Olivia's lips "I'm sorry that you have to go through all of this babe."
She cupped his cheek "this was my idea in the first place, I just didn't think that I would need to compete for my own husband."
He placed his hand on her thigh and smirked "you have zero competition, you're my wife so you already won."
She nodded "now we just need to make your mother and Liza realise it."
