I'm only Human

“LA, I guess that’s South.” Olivia nodded “I wish I had visited more places other than the most popular place to visit...” the girl chuckled “Was someone rude to you? Poor thing. I’m sorry. I assure you you’ll find plenty of nice people around.”

“I’m Olivia, it’s nice to meet you.” the girl replied “I used to be anxious in crowds before. My trick was to think that everyone was as insecure as me, which was probably true. Worked out fine for me. You could try.”

“California? I’ve been there once or twice. Quite an awesome place.” Olivia smiled softly “I grew up here in New York. I hope you learn to love it like I did. I’m Olivia, by the way. I can show you around sometime. I’m sure you just need to see the cool places.” 

Olivia nodded, even though it would mean putting her pride to the side, it was worth it for Oliver’s well-being “Yeah, I know. But sometimes people don’t like to admit they aren’t capable enough to do their job. I mean, I’m sure I would be able to deal with it eventually, but, as you said, Oliver’s just too close to me.” the girl rambled almost like she needed to convince herself.

Olivia smiled grateful for the kind words. She couldn’t lie and say she wasn’t anxious about the situation. “I hope so...” she gave Oliver, who was almost sleeping in her arms, a  light squeeze “I probably just spoil him too much. But I can’t help it.”

Olivia bit down on her lip once the realised that the other wasn’t talking to her, but the girl decided not to make a big deal out of it. “Oh, that will make it even more speacial. I hope you have fun.”

“They have.” Olivia nodded with a chuckle, New York weather might not be te best but she was used to it. “Where are you from? Is it warmer there?”

“That would be something to consider. But maybe it would be worth it.” Olivia chuckled at the other pup before nodding “Yeah. That would be nice.” she placed Oliver on the floor, who immediately started wagging his tail and sniffing Dante. 

“I guess.” Olivia shrugged although a small smile appeared on her lips “I just want him to be happy and this makes me think he’s lonely. Should I get him a brother maybe?”
