Olivia ~ Chapter 2

Olivia was so happy to be out of China. She couldn't believe what a disaster the trip turned out to be. She wanted to do more traveling but was now scared to go somewhere else.Living in a new town was all the adventure Olivia needed in her life right now. She was excited to explore Meadow Glen but first on her agenda was to eat.

Olivia just loved the new house she bought. The professional decorator she hired did an amazing job getting the new house ready while she was gone. Her house in Moonlight Falls sold almost immediately and even after the renovations on the new house she still made a profit. All of this good news made Olivia feel just a little happier about her decision to move.

The next day Olivia headed out to explore. It was a dark a dreary day out but Olivia didn't mind. In fact she found much amusement in splashing around. 

While out Olivia spotted a cute little puppy. She looked on it's collar and found that its name was One. What a funny name for a dog. Being a dog person she took an instant liking to One and started playing tug of war with the pup. 

In the afternoon the sky started to clear and it was becoming a nice day out. Olivia decided to head to the park and hopefully meet a few people. While she was there she bumped in to a man named Antoine Reeves. She introduced herself and they chatted for awhile. She found out that Antoine would be her coworker once she started her new job. They also had quite a few traits in common, he was also an evil, family oriented, dog lover. 

Having an instant connection to one another...thanks to their shared traits...they spent the rest of the afternoon together. The best part of the day was when they tried skating together. Neither one of them were to good at it so they thought it would be good idea to hold hands and skate. 

What they didn't realize is that if one went down they both would. Antoine had started to fall so he quickly let go of Olivia thinking that would keep her from falling. However, he actually tossed her in his hast to let go and it sent her flying in the air. He tried to catch her but it was to late. 

Antoine was mortified at what just happened. He laid on the ground looking like he wanted it to swallow him up whole. Olivia slowly got up with a sore bum but she laughed it off and told him not to worry about it. 

The days have been flying by. Olivia started her new job at an undisclosed location, doing things that she can't actually talk about. Taking over the world is a very precarious thing and you can't go blabbing to everyone about what your up to. She continued her exploration of her new town but wasn't meeting very interesting people. The one person she couldn't get off her mind was Antoine but she knew mixing personal with professional was not a good idea. 

To help with her loneliness she looked online for a puppy to adopt. She found a fuzzy little fur ball in town named Denver up for adoption. He was already trained to be neat and non-destructive which was a perfect combination. Once all the paperwork was filled out Olivia patiently awaited for Denver to arrive. When the agency brought him by later that night Olivia squealed with excitement at the site of him. He was adorable!

Once she got him inside she started playing tug of war with him. He was this tiny fuzzball full of spunk and she loved it. 

Olivia did get a call from one of the men she met around town and he asked her out on a date. Olivia figured meeting up with him couldn't hurt and she could use a nice time out. When she got there however it was a whole other story. She found him to be quite boring and accused him of being a diva. When he turned the table on her stating that she in fact was the diva, Olivia lost her head and attacked. 

How dare he call for a date, be the most boring person she has ever met and then insult her. She kicked his butt to the curb and told him to never call her again!

Not wanting her day to be a total waste Olivia headed to the Fun-O-Rama. While she was there she spotted Antoine playing video games. With butterflies in her stomach she headed over to the machine next to him and started playing. 

They did chat for a bit but most of the night was spent playing things next to each other instead if with each other. Olivia was to nervous to outright ask him to hang out and he never brought it up either. Olivia knew that it was best they didn't become more than work mates but it still stung a little that he didn't ask to hang with her. They ended the night bowling and both of them scored big. 

Olivia may not have been able to get special attention from Antoine but she did get it from Denver. She loved cuddling and smooching her little pup. 

    Olivia was feeling restless in her day to day life. She needed some excitement and didn't know what to do about it. One of her coworkers were complaining about the local officers that kept patting them down and it gave Olivia a bright idea. She was going to have a protest against the local law enforcement. 

When she first announced it no one was interested in joining in. Olivia was not so quick to give up though and continued on with her chanting.

A few hours later there was a nice group gathering and Olivia took the opportunity to rally them up and keep the momentum going. 

Unfortunately not long after that the police showed up and announced that everyone had 10 minutes to clear out before citations for public disturbance would be handed out. Olivia didn't want her name to be known just yet within the police community and booked it out of there along with everyone else.

It was time for Denver to grow up from being a pup. He was a Great Dane and a lot bigger than Olivia thought he would be but she didn't mind one little bit. She was kind of sad to see him grow and thought about getting another puppy but later decided right now wasn't the time for that.  

She had bought Denver a new squeaky toy and collar a couple days before his birthday. She wanted to give him the new toy right away so she started squeezing it. Denver started jumping all around the room trying to get the toy. He loved it!

On Olivia's day off she got a text from Antoine inviting her to his house for a party. She was over the moon that he text her. She had no idea what she was going to wear and tore her closet apart. She eventually settled on a little black dress that would knock any guys socks off. Sita must have sensed something going on with Olivia because she made an appearance right before Olivia left. 

When Olivia arrived at his house she was very confused. There was no else there and most of the lights were dim. The front door was open so Olivia just let herself in and walked around looking for Antoine. It turned out he was upstairs sleeping. Olivia was having none of that and woke him up using the megaphone. 

He apologized for not texting her back to let her know that party had been canceled because he was exhausted. That explained why no one was there instead of the steamy fantasy she had concocted in her mind. 

Olivia couldn't help but swoon at the sight of Antoine standing there in his boxers. He could have been saying he was an alien and it wouldn't have mattered as long as he kept talking. He looked even better undressed than what she had pictured in her mind. 

Olivia let him know that she understood about the mix up and headed to the door to leave. Before she walked out Antoine called her name and when she turned to look back at him he winked and said she looked beautiful. Olivia blushed said thanks and walked out. Once on the porch Olivia slumped back against the door. She couldn't believe what he had just said to her! Did he mean it or was he being nice because he felt bad. Was he starting to get feelings for her? Would she be happy if he was...well yes of course she would...but was it a good idea. She didn't know and it was going to drive her crazy! 

Olivia needed one last look at Antoine before she left. She headed around the house a peeked in a couple of windows until she spotted him. He was very yummy looking! 

*The Fun-O-Rama was made by the very talented Wibs!

*Antoine Reeves was not made by and it is impossible for me to get in touch with the creator to leave a link to him as their website is now blocked. I have renamed him, Antoine is not the name he came with. He has always been running around in some of my towns but has never bumped in to a main character in one of my stories so I never had to worry about getting maker permission before. If the person that made him happens to read this just know that I would have liked to give you proper credit! 

Thanks for reading!
