Chapter 73
Amanda and Olivia took a week to let it all sink in about the big jump they were both making. They contacted Ms. Hardwick with the decision and she was very excited. They did explain that they wanted several things in place before signing anything. So they all decided that it would need to be June, but they were already in May so it wasn't a big deal. Things got busy after that. Amanda and Olivia needed a house, because the apartment wouldn't do anymore. Amanda was graduating and Olivia wanted it to be a huge deal with a party. Of course the wedding needed to be amazing.
"Baby do you want to graduate first or be married first." Amanda couldn't believe she was making these decisions, "I want to graduate first, because my graduation is a Wednesday night and we can get married that Saturday. One party." Olivia jumped up, "No I want you to have your own separate graduation party." Amanda shrugged, "Well it's not that big of a deal." Olivia rolled her eyes. Ever since the decision was made, Amanda had changed a little and Olivia didn't like it. Before Amanda wanted everything, she was spoiled and now when it did come to her, nothing was a big deal. Olivia had to actually take her belt off to get her to her graduation pictures. "Okay enough of this, you're still my spoiled little princess. You never want anything anymore. Where's my baby who loves hoodies, the entire Apple store, and everything blue."
They heard a knock on the door, Amanda shrugged and answered, "I figured in a few weeks you wouldn't need 3 babies. Hey Kat. I'm not feeling good, I'm going to lay down." Amanda went to the bedroom. "Did I interrupt something? Want me to talk to her?" Olivia sat down, "Sure you seem to get through to her more than me lately." Kat went to find Amanda laying on the bed. She laid down to face her. "Hey how are you doing?" Amanda didn't answer. "So you aren't talking to me? Did I interrupt you and Liv?" Still no answer. "You know eventually Liv is gonna get sick of your shit and really take that belt off." Amanda turned away from Kat and that pissed her off. "If you're having second thoughts now is the time to say something. Grow the fuck up Amanda!" Olivia heard Kat and ran, "Hey, cut it out!" Kat went to leave, "I'm out of here. I just came here to share some good news with my best friend and to give you two an early wedding present." Amanda sat up in the bed. "I didn't say anything before, because I didn't know what I was gonna do with it. My aunt owned two properties, my house and the one next door. When my best friend proposed, I knew I had the perfect wedding gift. Liv you should stop coddling her and tear her ass up real good. Here is the deed and keys Liv. It's actually furnished, so you can decide what you want and don't want. Mike has some friends that can help with anything you guys need. It's all on us. We hope you like your wedding gift. We love you guys. See ya."
Olivia looked mad real mad. "Amanda Rollins! Get your ass up now! I have had it with you. We're not getting ready to do this. Do you want to change your mind? I don't want to live like this." Olivia turned to leave and Amanda grabbed her hand. "I'm sorry! I haven't changed my mind. I want you and I want Noah and Jesse. I was trying to be a grown up for you. You already take care of me. I don't even have a real job anymore because tutoring is over and my internship won't start until September. School is going to be covered for me, but they're going to need daycare. You're paying for the wedding, graduation party, honeymoon, trip to Georgia and back, and we need a house. Well we needed a house and my best friend thinks I'm a jerk now."
Olivia didn't say a word, she just listened. She hated when Amanda did this. She never talked to her when something was bothering her. She kept it inside until it all blew up. "I closed my bank account and moved every cent to yours." When Amanda said that Olivia's jaw dropped. She gave Amanda a new debit card and checkbook last week and explained with getting married and kids they needed a joint account, plus she wanted Amanda to have access to everything. "You did what!?" Amanda recognized the face and she started shifted back and forth on her feet. Olivia pulled out her phone and looked at her account. "I moved my money, because you were spending all of your money and I…" That was the straw. Olivia took off her belt, "Come here now!"
Amanda looked around seeing they were in the bedroom and nowhere to run, "Why Liv?" Olivia folded her arms, "Because Kat is right. You need your ass tore up good." Amanda didn't move. Olivia was going to have to come and get her. "Amanda I'm sick of this. You never talk to me. I talk to you, I always tell you the truth, even if something is wrong. I warned you and you have had so many chances about my honesty rule that now it's time." Amanda looked at Liv holding the belt, "I didn't lie though." Olivia almost laughed, she had Amanda right where she wanted her. When Olivia wanted her to talk, all she had to do was take off her belt and Amanda would spill her guts. So she figured she better use it to find out what was going through her head.
"Oh but you did lie Amanda. I've asked you for the last week, are you okay, did you want to talk and nothing. Now look at where we are. You have lived with me for 8 months and I would say I've been a very supportive girlfriend. I've never asked you for anything and I usually didn't like it when you spent any money. What on earth would make anything financial go through your head." Olivia waited and watched Amanda's eyes. She was thinking really hard and when Olivia saw her eyes shoot up and look at her and then the belt and then the floor Olivia spoke. "Are you doing the math baby? 8 months Amanda. Rent, food, clothes, car, a big time Christmas, Valentine's, should I keep going. And if you were honest with me, which I should remind you is one of my two big rules, I would have told you that money hasn't really been an issue. My mother left me money and I sold her house when she died. I have a savings too, a big one. I also have a job, which you go with me so much you have to pay attention to overtime. So are you ready for your punishment."
"No Liv please." Olivia moved closer, "Before I put my belt on, I want the truth. Is there anything you need to get off your chest?" Amanda thought, "Yes! I still want you to take care of me. I still want you to cook for me. I want to watch my shows with you even if we have to record them. I still want you to go with me to therapy and the doctor. I still want to be your baby, even though you're getting two more. And I… ummmm…I still want sex. I still want lots of sex." Olivia put her belt on, "Amanda you will always be my baby and you will get everything you want, but for the last time and I mean the last time, you gotta talk to me. This isn't a threat, it's a promise, if I take my belt off again for the same thing, I'm gonna use it on your ass." Olivia moved closer, "You owe your best friend an apology and after that you owe me make up sex."
