“you didn’t?” olivia’s head cocks to the side, she figured that might would’ve been implied which is why she didn’t think to run through her outfits of choice with birdie prior. besides, “just… act like it’s a bikini, you know? even if you can maybe see a little more than you would…” trails off before shaking her head, shifting where she kneels on the bed to be a little closer to the edge and therefore closer to her friend. “are you sure? if it’s making you uncomfortable, i can ask someone else.”

“i made you a spotify playlist and if you don’t mind me saying, it’s some of my finest work. there’s only like  — two vampire references in this one. maybe three.”

"hey baby, who's this? you promised me one more drink and then we'd dance! sorry —  excuse us." olivia offers a fake smile to the reason her friend had been gone from their table for so long before she turns on her heel and grasps their hand to tug them back in the direction she'd come from. "i hope you weren't into that... looked like you were inching off the barstool so much i thought you were gonna fall off."

"i wouldn't know what to do with another chance if you gave it to me."

with a rather hopeful grin on her lips, olivia barrels into the apartment she hadn’t even been invited to. in moments her shoes are kicked off as she juggles trying to get out of her coat while holding the bag of things she’d brought along with her. most of them being of the snack-food variety. “okay, so. i know you said you were having a bad day and that probably means you want to wallow in peace, but i can’t allow it. i’m here now. like it or not,” she announces, hesitating for a little moment following her words. “you like it… right?”

“do you... are you scared?” olivia asked seemingly out of the blue, picking up a handful of popcorn to place individual pieces into her mouth. given that the rest of their friends were out of the picture and all they had was one another, staying together over the weekend ‘just made sense’. it had been her suggestion, of course. a way to get them alone. “you ever think there’s a reason no one has come for you?” 

“it’s a pretty necklace... who knew he knew your birthstone?” olivia can’t even feign her enthusiasm anymore, she doesn’t even look at the gift. she already knows what it looks like. she picked it.

“hey babe!” she chirps down the phone, sprawling out on her bed and clutching it to her ear. “what’s up? i’ve been dying to talk to you all day.”
