20 The first I love you
Every day for the next couple of weeks I spend every free second I have with Stefan, he picks me up after work every day and on the weekends we stay together as well. I haven’t seen Miranda or even my parents, but I’m enjoying my time so much I don’t even care. The more I know Stefan the more I like him. It’s scary how much I’ve come to care for him in such a short time. A few weeks ago, I didn’t even know he existed, but now I can’t imagine not being with him.
“So, I was thinking of a fun game we can play tonight,” Stefan says as we reach the fro

I go downstairs earlier than usual. It’s hard to sleep feeling this excited. Stefan loves me and I feel like I’m walking on clouds. Everyone is surely still sleeping so I try to be quiet as I go down. I walk towards the kitchen to make coffee, but then I stop midway when I hear a heated discussion coming from my dad’s office between him and Mike. I tiptoe near the office door, remaining at a distance where I’m close enough to be able to hear the argument, but not close enough in case they come out unexpectedly and I have to run.“How can you be so calm after what they did?!&rd

Shortly after breakfast, Stefan and I go to the mall. We plan to go to the movies, but we run into Miranda on our way to the movie theater. She’s waiting for Barney who is running late. We decide to keep her company while he arrives. I’m glad to see her, not just because we haven’t spent much time together lately, but because I want her and Stefan to be friends as well. They haven’t had the chance to get to know each other and as my mom and cousin already hate him, it’s really important for me that my best friend is team Stefan.We go to the food court and sit at a table
Flowers for Olivia 23 Unwanted Responsibilities
Miranda and I haven’t seen each other in weeks. We’ve texted each other, but for different reasons, it has been impossible for us to meet in person or even talk on the phone. We’ve never had this problem before and I know it has something (or everything) to do with the fact that secretly she doesn’t really want to see me. Once we see each other face to face we are going to have to talk about the fact that Barney dislikes me and that he has probably advised Miranda to keep her distance from me. Miranda is in the awkward position of choosing between the two of us; I know she’ll choose me, but she has been infatuated with Barney for so long I’m sure it’s difficult for her to break up with him. It’s easier to avoid me for a while than to face reality. I get
Flowers for Olivia 24 A Strange ride to Work
My alarm clock appears to be sounding louder than usual, when I reluctantly open my eyes I realize it’s because it’s been buzzing for half an hour! I’m super late for work! I jump out of bed and run to my closet, I pick a simple black dress and tie my hair back into a messy ponytail. No time for showers, I just splash my face with cold water to help me wake up, I have to be in the office in fifteen minutes. I can’t believe I overslept, but I’ve been feeling so worried for the last couple of weeks that I haven’t been sleeping much; after my talk to Roxana last night I was able to relax and I guess I fell into a very deep sleep that compensated all the sleepless nights I had.
Flowers for Olivia 25 An Indiscretion
I can hear the racket inside my house just by standing on the front porch. There’s music and laughter coming from inside, the lights from every floor are on and I can see thru the windows people coming and going. Such a change from the usual silence that rules in my house. Most of my relatives arrived by plane, but the ones that live nearer drove here, so there are more cars than usual parked in the front. Among them there’s a blue BMW M8 Coupé, I grin from ear to ear and rush inside.I’m received by a wave of greetings from my relatives. I hug and kiss my way thru the dining
Flowers for Olivia 26 Not Ready to Know
“What did she just say?” Stefan asks with an astounded expression on his face.I have no idea if he’s just startled, angry or if he’s getting a heart attack, all I know is that he’s not happy. I often wondered how Stefan would react when I told him and I secretly hoped that if I was, in fact, pregnant, he would stand by my side and face this with me. But that’s clearly not going to happen. Maybe he hates children or the idea of being a parent repulses him; or maybe I’m the problem, just because he often joked about us getting married doesn’t mean he actually

I wake up really early. Everyone is still sleeping, the house is as quiet as usual, no surprise there, I heard laughter and clinking glasses until dawn. My relatives really like to party, but I was feeling pretty downhearted after the rudeness everyone showed Stefan last night so, after he left, I went up to my room and stayed there ignoring the good time everyone was having downstairs.I go to the park for a run, exercise is always helpful to clear my mind and get me in a good mood. When I get back home the house is still quiet. I go in, aside from our maid cleaning the mess in the living room, ther

Someone knocks on my door. If it’s uncle Gus I’m going to start shouting until someone calls the police. Luckily, when I open the door, it’s Stefan who is standing under the doorframe.“Hi, doll, am I interrupting?” He asks as he lets himself in. “Are you ok? You look really upset.”I shake my head energetically. “No, not at all.” I don’t w
