Chapter 16:
PH2:
Jason had just finished a long meeting with Marco. Apparently Marco's nephew had been trying to get deeper into the business for about a year. He did a few 'errands' for a family in California. He was 19, had great aim and was an excellent fighter. Most importantly he understand loyalty.
"Hey Jase" Jason and Olivia had basically made up since their first fight 3 days ago.
"Hey..I have to talk to you about something important" she slowly walked over to the desk.
"What's up?"
"I found you a new guard. He's coming in tomorrow from Los Angeles." She looked at him apprehensively.
"What's his name? How old is he? What does he look like?" the questions were coming out a mile a minute.
"His name is Robbie, he's 19, and it doesn't matter what he looks like." Jason made a mental note to make sure this guy knew he couldn't get involved with Olivia.
"What time is he coming over?" she had to make sure she looked gorgeous; she had to have this guard eating out of the palm of her hand ASAP.
"You won't meet him until I give him the run though of how things work around here and I make sure he's qualified. So maybe he'll be by on Thursday."
"K and by the way Jason I really want to thank you for doing this for me" she gave him a big hug.
"No problem"
"Well I have to go across the hall because Carly asked me to baby sit Morgan so her, Sonny, and Michael could get a Christmas tree. I can not believe Christmas is in 3 weeks." Every time someone mentioned Christmas her whole face would light up. It was her favorite holiday. "We have to get a tree soon and decorations. I just love Christmas!"
"How about me, you, and Courtney go tomorrow night for the tree?"
"I hate being the third wheel but because it's Christmas I won't complain" that was the joke between Olivia, Jason, and Courtney whenever the three of them would go out she was the third wheel.
"Good cause your like your mother when you complain" Olivia loved it when Jason would compare her to Brenda even though it was an insult to him.
"Thank you. I'll be back in like two hours"
"Bye…wait should I get dinner or are you gonna eat those nasty pizza's?"
"I'll probably have a pizza but can you get me a cheeseburger too cause I'll be hungry when I get home"
"One day that metabolism will catch up with you"
"And until that day I'm going to eat as much as I possibly can" She couldn't weigh more then 115 lbs and she was 5'9". Brenda tried to convince her to become a model but Olivia would rather play soccer. She was awesome and by far the best girl on the PCHS team and maybe even the state.
"Whatever I'll see you later"
PH4:
"Hey Michael" he was the only one in the living room when she got into the penthouse.
"Livvie thank God you're here." Both Michael and Morgan called her Livvie. She never told anyone but her brother used to call her Livvie. Olivia tried not to think of her brother because it would make her cry. She was bought out of her thoughts by Michael screaming up the steps.
"Mom. Dad…Livvie's here lets go"
"We're coming" Carly yelled back. Sonny was on his way down as Carly spoke.
"Daddy lets go!!"
"We are and Olivia how are you today?"
"Fabulous as usual" Sonny and Olivia had also gotten really close. He knew Brenda better then anyone and she loved hearing about their past. Her and Jax had gone out to dinner twice but she could sense how hard it was for him to be around her.
"Okay lets go!" Carly walked down the stairs followed by a bouncing Morgan.
"Livvie" Morgan adored Olivia. He jumped into her arms and gave her a huge hug.
"Hey Superman" that was her nickname for him because he loved it when she would spin him the air.
"We're gonna get going. Bye Morgan" Carly kissed him on the top of the head and waved bye to Olivia.
"By the way Sonny… it's the holiday season so by babysitting rates have increase by 65"
"For that much you can keep the kid," they always kidded about home much he paid her.
"Come on Dad lets go!"
"Bye guys… have fun and Michael get the biggest one"
"I will bye" he ran out the door followed by Sonny and Carly.
"So Superman what do you want for dinner? Pizza and ice cream?" he nodded his head joyfully "okay but don't tell Dad!"
About 2 hours later Olivia marched into the Penthouse. Jason was playing pool and drinking a beer. She was beat; Morgan was bouncing off the walls after he had the ice cream. But it was worth it Sonny gave her fifty dollars. She had just enough money for the gifts she was getting for everyone. Her and Natalie decided they would have a day at the spa and that would be their gifts to one and another.
"Rough night" Jason commented as Olivia plopped onto the couch.
"Where's my cheeseburger?" she had just shared a frozen pizza with Morgan and had an ice cream sundae but there was still room for a burger.
"In the kitchen"
Next Day:
Robbie walked off the plane with the other travelers. He spotted his Uncle Marco right away.
"Robbie what's going on?" he gave his nephew a manly hug.
"Nothing Uncle Marco, ready to start the new job"
"Come lets get you settled and then I'll take you over to the warehouse"
PH2:
Olivia had gotten home from school about an hour ago. There was no soccer for the next three months because of the cold weather. She didn't have work so she decided to start decorating the penthouse. Jason was going to be home by 6 so they could go get the tree. Max and her had gone shopping on the way home from school. She brought one of everything in the store. You can never have too much Christmas stuff was her motto. The penthouse was almost complete. There were lights everywhere-the mantle, the railings, around the pool table, and the front door. She put little Santa's all around the house, a nativity on the mantle, and a lighted reindeer on the balcony. To anyone else it would be tacky but it was her Christmas wonderland.
Finally Jason got home and Olivia was all dressed to go. She put on a special Christmas shirt even though you couldn't see it through her jacket. It made her feel special. She didn't let him take his jacket off; she grabbed his arm and pulled him back out the door.
"Lets go your already late"
"I'm not late. It's 6:03"
"Yeah and you were supposed to be home at 6, so that qualifies as late" she always had to have the last word.
A few hours later back at PH2:
Jason and Max were carrying the tree into the penthouse. It was huge; they were lucky it fit though the door.
"Perfect right there" Olivia ordered as the tree was placed in the hall way in front of the closet.
"Thanks for your help Max" Jason said as Max retreated from the penthouse.
"Now lets start decorating!" Olivia was like a kid in a candy store. Nothing could bring her mood down. She was decorating the best Christmas tree with her family.
"How about I get us some hot chocolate?" Courtney had decided to stay to help decorate the tree. The one in her loft was really small and only took like 5 minutes to decorate.
"I'll help you with that"
"Jason I'm sure she doesn't need help but if you two want to go make out in the kitchen where I eat don't let me stop you" Courtney was blushing a little and Jason was just shaking his head.
A/N-more Robbie in the next chapter!
