A/N: This chapter's a bit shorter, but maybe you can see where it's going ;) I can almost guarantee you that all the updates won't come this quickly!
5 Months Ago
Liv's face slowly slid down her hand to rest on the edge of her palm as she let out a slow groan. She was hunched over her desk, bored out of her mind. Her girlfriend was in the other room, so she could easily go try to start a conversation or something to occupy her time, but she knew it was fruitless and it would literally just end up being something to fill her time. Why do I think like that, there has to be something wrong with me...It wasn't that she disliked the blonde in the other room, she just didn't feel the connection that was supposed to be there, it was sort of just like living with a friend…but somehow not even the type of friend you felt compelled to tell everything to. She felt that way with Abbie, they always talked about everything, no matter how large, small, insignificant or life changing, but she didn't want a relationship with Abbie, she felt like a girlfriend should be someone that's a perfect blend of both, or was she just being too picky?
She decided to try to go without overthinking her situation again and just find something to do to enjoy her night. Hanging out with her girlfriend was out of the equation, Abbie was out on another attempt at a make-up date with Emily, and she wasn't exactly a social butterfly so the few other friends she had weren't in any reasonable distance. Gingerly massaging her own neck Olivia decided to just waste some time online, if that didn't work out she could always resort to doing some work and play around with a few new designs she was thinking about.
She cleared her desk a bit before her fingers flew gracefully over the keyboard pulling up all her favourite social networking sites and a few of the blogs and websites that she liked to frequently visit. She went through the usual and checked facebook, scrolling through the stupid posts that her 'friends' made, went through her personal and business email accounts and took note of anything important so she would remember to deal with it later, and then moved on through a few blogs and made her way to pintrest and tumblr. Every once in a while she'd cruise through pintrest, it wasn't exactly that she didn't get it, per say, more that she just didn't seem to be able to spend a large amount of time there and was more drawn to tumblr. Still, she would go through each on nights like this and end up opening a ridiculous amount of tabs for anything and everything that caught her eye whether it was something to pin, something to reblog or someone new to follow. As she went through her vast collection of tabs something caught her eye, she had a new message on one of her accounts. It wasn't that it seemed impossible, but not many people went out of their way to send her a message, even after going on a following spree like tonight there usually wouldn't really be anything aside from the occasional 'Thanks for the follow' bs that she found to be sort of dumb. So why am I overthinking it this time. What makes this special.
Deciding it was best just to get it over with she clicked the message icon.
'So, I love your blog and so seem awesome. Tell me about yourself.' It's just a message, from someone you don't even know, just calm down. Liv didn't know what to say.
Penny for your thoughts!
