Chapter 30 : Racing and alone time.
" What do you mean you want a yacht "!? Gina pouted as she made moves with her fingers anticlockwise, making a circle " But it looked so pretty and you know I prefer ships to cars ".
Iris massaged her temples, breathing deep " You're so lucky I love you Gigi ". Gina smiled, giving her a side hug " And I love you too Duhling ". Iris squinted, pushing Gina's face away from her " Save it, let's just pay and get out of her. Next thing I know, you two would want a plane ".
Rachel laughed maniacally to herself, playing with her new car keys " Maybe another time CC. I need to test my new Lamborghini ". Iris smirked, " Alright, let's go racing ". Gina blinked a few times, " What? Where ". Iris smiled, nodding knowingly " There's this racing rink a few miles out of town. The next race is in an hour. We can make it if we floor it ".
Rachel crossed her arms, no longer enchanted with her keys " That sounds illegal and besides, how do you know about that "? Iris laughed nervously, avoiding eye contact " Is that really important "? Gina smiled sweetly, " If you want to go, yes *.
Iris pouted slightly, " First of all, you can't stop me and secondly, I have my sources ". Rachel and Gina sighed, knowing Iris wouldn't say more no matter what they did and Iris smiled, putting hands on their shoulders " You guys are so amazing, let's go make some boys beg for their mama ".

" What are you doing here? Do you know how dangerous and reckless that was "? Olivia's lip quivered slightly, looking down at her feet as she fought back tears " I'm sorry Oliver, I just wanted to spend the day with you ".
Oliver sighed, rubbing his temples " There are less dangerous ways to do that Olivia. Don't be so reckless next time ". Olivia nodded, still looking at the ground. Oliver looked to Carson for help.
Carson simply avoided his gaze leaving Oliver to try and stop making Olivia upset. Iris' mud covered face came to mind, that forever defiant pout on her lips, " You don't know how to talk to a lady, at least know how to pet her ".
Oliver had no idea what that meant, even now but he couldn't afford to make her upset and he'd try anything. He didn't like it and neither did his parents and he'd be in even more trouble for working during a compulsory vacation.
Hesitantly, he touched her head and tried to speak softly " I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell. I was just worried about you ". Olivia looked up at him, " Really? You were worried about me "? Oliver nodded truthfully, " Of course I was ".
[ That's what I needed to hear ] and suddenly brightened, sniffling slightly as she rubbed her eye " I know I shouldn't have come but you carry on with your work, I won't get in your way ". Oliver frowned, shaking his head " Absolutely not, I can't just leave you by yourself. Come with me ".
Oliver suddenly held her wrist and led her forward, she tried to look sober and wronged but she couldn't hide the faint smile on her lips so she bit them instead as she looked at his back, [ We're finally gonna spend some time together ]
