Olivia's phone started ringing and lifetime by Justin Bieber played .
She placed the food neatly in front of the customer
" Bon appetit !" .
She smiled at how better her french sounds .
Immediately she got back to her stand she removed her phone from her jeans back pocket and Smiled as her best friend's name " Tildaaa" with lots of love emojis displayed on her phone." Hey birthday girl how's your day going ?" Olive chuckled at how excited her friend sounds on the phone .
It's my birthday not hers she thought .
" Okay yyy , I'm just at mum's eatery " .
" Are you ready for tonight?".
Her friend successfully lobbied her into accepting to go clubbing,her mum's approval came easily since she never asked to out at night before and after all she's 22 today.
" I am " . Olivia replied
" I'll be at your house by 7 " .
Without waiting for her reply Matilda hung up .Few hours later
" You look stunning bestie !". Matilda squeeked excitedly ,her friend would have made a great model if not for her height .
Olivia is not short but she's not just that height that models are meant to have .Olivia blushed lightly at how beautiful she looked ,she wore the dress Matilda bought for her as a birthday present , a short sleeveless black gown with flowery patterns all over it , she wore her only heels that's almost worn out ,it was her 20th birthday gift from her mum and carried one of matilda's purse that's matching the nude colour heels she is wearing .
***************
" Let's leave this place " .
The obviously irritated christopher stood up ,what was he thinking coming to a club party to look for a wife ?
" Come on let's have fun for a while " . David who is busy enjoying himself pleaded .
Christopher rose up to leave ,there's no way he's going to stay in this insanely loud environment oozing with liquor smell for a while .
It's obvious he can't find what he's looking for here .
" Okay fine ! Let me just use the restroom then we can leave ". David left the room and Christopher had to seat back down .
A girl whom he noticed had been staring at him walked to where he sat .
" Hey handsome ,do you mind if I keep your company ?" She asked .
Christopher muttered some curses at his friend before turning his attention back to the woman in front of him." Leave ...." He replied coldly .
The girl got scared and walked away muttering inaudible curses at him .
He stood up to go look for David when he heard sounds coming from one of the restrooms .
He saw a lady being pinned against the wall by a guy ,he shrugged and turned to leave but paused when he noticed the girl was protesting .
Christopher Andrews is known for minding his business but for some unknown reasons he felt the urge to interfere . Before he could take a step he heard a deafening sound as the man landed on the floor with the girl punching and cursing him.
He looked at the scene amusedly ,how fierce and relentless the girl is made his insides do a twist.
" I think that's enough " christopher voiced out , something that is again not part of his attributes .
Olivia looked up to see who was interfering in her business ,she opened her mouth to curse but the words got stuck in her throat as she came face to face with a handsome man with a kind of eyes she has never seen before .
"Is it possible for someone to be this handsome?"
The guy that tried to harass her while she was using the restroom rushed up and ran out .
" Mind your business!" She finally brought herself to speak up although she sounded more calmer than she intended .
She dusted her gown and made to leave when her shoe heels broke and she turned to fall but was instantly caught by a broad but warm arms.
Christopher stared gently at the woman in his arms .
How can someone that feels this vulnerable be that fierce ?
Olivia quickly rushed out of his arms .
" Thank you " she replied embarrassed at the thought of having to remove her heels in front of this dangerously handsome man ." My name is Christopher ,what's your name ?"
" If you are trying to hit on me just because you saved me from falling ,I'll advice you end that thought now " .
Christopher smiled at the attitude ,he finds her very interesting.
Girls are always attracted to him but the fact that this feisty lady in front of him doesn't give a hoot amused him." Well since we are on the subject ,will you like to marry me ? "
Olivia scoffed at the unknown man's proposal ,she decided he's probably drunk ." Go home old man , you've had too much too drink " . She turned to leave but her hand was firmly gripped by him .
She tried to wriggle free but he wouldn't let her .
Christopher brought out his business card and placed it in her other free hand .
" If you decide to change your mind ......" He let go of her hand and olivia walked away in disbelief .
Such a weirdo ,but a cute one she thought as she smiled to herself .
Christopher smiled ,he has found exactly what he's looking for ! .
He turned to leave when he heard moanings ,what the heck is wrong with this people ? He saw something that looked like David's shirt so he paused to look .He found his friend making out with a girl ! .
'' You mean the handsome prince charming you met last night asked you to marry him ?" Matilda asked her eyes about to bulge out ." Stop being dramatic plus that man is probably drunk ". Olivia replied uninterested .She has few days left for her to be a college student and that's the only thing that matters ." You are such a boring one ! How can you not be interested in such a beautiful marriage proposal ? Do you know how ladies suffer to get a man to hand them a ring these days ?" Matilda continued obviously not backing down from the conversation .Sometimes Olivia gets tired of her friend's over active imagination and thinking .How is she supposed to feel about a stranger's marriage proposal ? " Listen Tilda .....that man is probably drunk and why the heck should I care about what ladies go through to get a stupid ring on their finger ? Marriage sucks ". Matilda just stared at her friend with utter disbelief ." Because your parents didn't work out ?" Matilda asked gently and s
The following morning........." Olivia .... I'm sorry ....I should have just listened to you ... I'm sorry " . Robert cried gently on his sick bed .He didn't want to ride a bycicle but he eventually had to when his friends wouldn't stop calling him a "skirt ",he didn't like the fact that they thought his sister is the one telling him what to do and what not to do." It's fine ....stop crying and just focus your energy on getting better ". Olivia replied not sparing their mother a glance .She just couldn't get rid of the feeling that their mother had sided with Robert too much and that has led him to disobeying her instructions .At that moment she just hated her mother ..... perhaps she just needs someone to blame for being unlucky ." Olivia ! Robert !" Matilda yelled rushing into the hospital ward sweating profusely .She rushed to Robert's side on the bed ." How's he ?" Matilda asked clearing the silence that has taken over between her and her friend ." Doctor said he's out of
" Olivia lane Twenty two years old Date of birth : 16th august 2000Her parents are divorced has a brother who recently got into an accident. Her mother owns a small eatery and they live in one of this old buildings here in lA .Finished high school but didn't go to college So they are basically poor and that's exactly what we need ". David read out the file about the things he was able to gather about Olivia to Christopher who just sat down with a stoic expression on his face .What exactly led her to trying to get herself killed ? He couldn't wrap his finger around it until now .she must have been frustrated .....The fact that he had at one point in time tried killing himself made him understand her ." Christopher !" David yelled bringing his friend out of his thoughts ." What are you thinking about ?" David asked while christopher just shrugged ." I already sent her a package that she cannot refuse and she'll realize you are not an insane stalker so let's just wait for he
" Christopher Andrews not Mr stranger " christopher corrected trying hard to contain his excitement although he's dissapointed .She decided to marry him because of the money ,he knows he shouldn't be annoyed because of that but he just can't help but get furious at the fact that he had hoped she was different amongst others." Ohh okay Mr Christopher " she replied ." I'll send you a text on where and when we'll meet ". He said and hung up immediately .He chuckled lightly ...what was he thinking? That Olivia lane could be any better than that woman ? Eventually he realized women are just the same .************" Olivia we need to talk ...." Her mother said immediately Robert fell asleep .They both sat on their small sofa chair and her mother gathered her two hands gently ." I'm sorry ....I know it's my fault ,I should have cautioned him with you ,maybe all these wouldn't have happened ....maybe you wouldn't have to let go of your college dream". Her mother begged crying ." Mum
" You don't have to take his words to heart Olivia ....what matters is the fact that you'll be getting paid and out in six months ". Matilda consoled her friend who wouldn't stop talking about how irritated she is with her "soon to be husband." " No Matilda ! How am I supposed to live under the same roof with that arrogant jerk ?! " Olivia complained ." Then don't marry him ! But don't forget the fact that he's your only ticket to ever going to college ". " I know right ......" Olivia pouted her mouth childishly ." So stop sulking and just play along with him ". " What should I do whenever he annoys me ?" Olivia asked " Just take a deep breath to calm yourself and then smile at him ". Matilda responded describing the way she should act .They heard a knock on the door and Olivia opened the door and found a package delivered to her door .She took it in and they unwrapped the big box ,their eyes widened with shock as they found a beautiful blue dress ,with a nude colour heels and
"Of course not ! What do you mean by fake grandpa ?" Christopher quickly said after he had regained his composure .Grandpa Andrews eyed Christopher suspiciously and went over to meet his grandson's fiancee ." Young lady what's your name ? ".Olivia sighed uncomfortably ." Olivia .... Olivia lane Grandpa" she replied forcing a smile .Grandpa Andrews bursted into laughter ,he liked this fearless girl that has the guts to call him grandpa on their first meeting ." Grandpa ? I'm not sure you can call me that yet ". He replied trying to scare her .Olivia glanced at christopher who seemed helpless just as she is and she shrugged ,maybe it's about time she shows this man how brave she can be at least that would help her earn Christopher's respect." I'm sorry .....but I like you already sir and I'm more than ready to become your daughter in law, can you allow me call you Grandpa please?" Olivia pleaded flashing her eyelashes gently at the old man who is shocked and excited at the same
" Mother I need to speak with you " Olivia said mustering all the courage she has. " What is it dear ?" Her mother asked while preparing to close up the eatery ." Promise me you won't get upset with what I'm about to say " " Just tell me already olivia ..." Her mother paused what she was doing and stared at her daughter for answers. " Mum ....I ...uhm .... I'm dating someone " olivia replied and the mother chuckled .She knew her daughter was seeing someone ,the late night outings even though she always lies to her that she's going over to Matilda's house ." Why are you scared of telling me that ? You are old enough Olivia ....I was just waiting for you to introduce him to me " .Olivia smiled gently at her mother knowing the bombshell she's about to drop next is going to definitely annoy her mother ." He already proposed mum and we are getting married in two weeks ". She replied staring at her shock strikes mother.Olivia's mother bursted into laughter not sure how to react to
Christopher and Olivia pulled to a stop in front of Olivia's mother eatery ." Welcome sis " Robert greeted cheerfully smiling more cheerfully at the man beside his sister .He overheard his mom and sister talking about his sister getting married to a rich man and he definitely like this man that drove this latest car to their eatery ." Christopher ...this is my junior brother Robert ". Olivia introduced and Christopher stretched his hand to shake him ."Don't let me dirty your hand brother in law , I'm really pleased to meet you " Robert said happily not taking his hand." He is not your brother in-law so keep your mouth shut and go and attend to customers now !" Olivia's mum yell and Robert squeaked off like a child ." Mum " Olivia called but her mum ignored her and walked out ." I'm sorry about that " Olivia said turning to face Christopher who just stood there with a stoic expression ." It's fine " " She won't be back till night with the way she stormed out , I'm sorry you mi
