Chapter 7
"Hello? One moment. Olivia, it's your boyfriend." Dawn said. Olivia rolled her eyes. "First of all, why are you answering the phone at my house? And secondly, he's not my boyfriend. Hello?"
"Hi Olivia." Charlie said.
"What's up?" she asked.
"I wanted to ask you something." He said.
"Sure." Olivia replied.
"What are you doing Saturday night?" Charlie asked.
"Hmm...let me consult my schedule. Well, nothing, followed by nothing, and then ah, yes, absolutely nothing." Olivia told him.
"Good. I was wondering if you wanted to be my date." He said.
"Your date?" Olivia asked.
"Yeah, the team having a party for. You don't have to if you don't want to." He said.
"No, no I want to go." She replied.
"Okay...umm... can you do me a favor?" he asked.
"I can try." Olivia said.
"Well, everyone has a date except Adam. So...." He started.
"You want me to ask Dawn?" she finished.
"Exactly." He said. "Think she'd go for it?"
"No doubt." She replied. Saturday....
"I think I'm going to pass out." Dawn said.
"You'll be fine." Olivia replied.
"Easy for you to say. Your date isn't the hottest man alive." She said.
"Hey now." Olivia said. Dawn was about to respond but the doorbell rang.
"Here we go." Olivia said. Olivia and Dawn headed to the front door.
"I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die." Dawn mumbled. Olivia hit her arm.
"Ow." She replied. Olivia opened the door.
"Hello boys." She said.
"Hi Olivia, Dawn. Adam this is Dawn. Dawn, Adam." Charlie said.
"Hello Adam." Dawn said.
"Hi, nice to meet you." He said.
"Likewise." She replied.
"Shall we?" he asked offering her his arm. She just nodded and they walked toward the limo. Olivia laughed. "They look good together." Charlie nodded and then turned toward Olivia. "You look really beautiful." Olivia blushed. "Thanks. You look nice too."
"Thanks. Ready to go?" Charlie said. The two walked to the car.
"Hey fellas." Olivia said getting inside.
"What up Olivia!" Averman said bouncing in his seat. A girl sitting next to Averman rolled her eyes. "Remind me again why I agreed to this?"
"Cause you love me!" he said. "Oh, Olivia this is Kelly."
"Nice to meet you." Olivia said.
"Hello." Olivia said. "Where's your date Fulton ?" Fulton shrugged. "Too many ladies to pick from."
"Everyone turned you down huh?" Olivia asked.
"Yeah, I mean no." Fulton said quickly. Everyone laughed. Later that night.....
"Woo-woo! Come ride the Averman Express!" Averman screamed as he ran across the dance floor with the Venga Boys blaring, dragging Kelly behind him.
"She looks thrilled." Olivia said.
"Is he always this scary?" Dawn asked.
"Yeah. Just be glad he still has his clothes on." Adam said.
"Don't want to know." She said. Averman came back to the table. "Why aren't y'all dancing?"
"You have to wait two hours before dancing after you eat." Olivia said.
"Na-uh! That's swimming." Averman said. "Come on Olivia dance with me."
"That's ok...." Olivia started as Averman began to drag her onto the floor. Luckily Charlie intercepted her.
"You wanna dance with him?" Averman asked.
"Instead of you? Yes." She replied.
"Okay! The Averman Express gone pass you by." He told her running off.
"Scary, scary man." She said walking off the dance floor. Charlie grabbed her hand. "Don't you want to dance?" Olivia began fidgeting with the hem of her dress. "We don't have to." Suddenly the music changed to a ballad.
"Let's dance." He said wrapping his arms around her waist. She put her arms around his neck and they began to sway to the music.
"Did I tell you that you look beautiful tonight?" he whispered. She nodded. They were quiet for a moment.
"Did I tell you that I really want to kiss you right now?" he asked.
"What?" Olivia asked startled. And then his lips met hers briefly. Olivia smiled. "I don't remember if you told me that."
"I didn't?" he asked.
"Maybe you'd better refresh my memory." She said.
"Gladly." He replied.
"Hello? One moment. Olivia, it's your boyfriend." Dawn said. Olivia rolled her eyes. "First of all, why are you answering the phone at my house? And secondly, he's not my boyfriend. Hello?"
