ALL I WANT IS YOU

Chapter 6

"Ain't you cold?" Olivia asked placing a bottle of wine on the dining table alongside two wine glasses. "I could ask Blaire to reduce..."

"No, it's fine," Dawn interrupted smiling. She had decided to wear a blue denim bum short and a black hoodie. She had tried out the clothes in her wardrobe that were left behind when she left but they didn't fit as they couldn't even pass through her hips.

She had decided to go for the bum shorts and hoodie, currently she didn't even zip up for fear that it might be too tight. She sat down next to Olivia as she poured the wine into the two glasses.

"Blaire! bring her food," Olivia yelled taking her seat.

"Hope you are good?... I mean you might be going through some s**t but are you good?"

"I feel better after that shower."

"That's good, so there is a party tomorrow night."

"What?" Dawn chimed, she couldn't believe her sister right now. She had not even settled down and she was already talking about some party.

"Don't look at me that way," Olivia smiled taking a sip from her drink like she didn't say anything outrageous.

"I am not planning on leaving you here to cry your eyes out over whatever is going on," she added as Blaire entered with a tray containing a plate of spaghetti and a glass of orange juice. She placed it in front of Dawn, arranging it in place as she bowed and walked out.

"Thank you," Dawn appreciated as she took the fork and started to dig in hurriedly. Dawn could feel Olivia's eyes on her, she raised her eyebrows in sign of 'what?', she hadn't eaten a proper meal in days and she was starving, really starving.

She could eat a mountain right now if she could. Thank goodness Blaire was such a good cook, the spaghetti had a funny taste but it was sweet at the same time.

Olivia shakes her head and poured herself another drink, as she had finished the one in her glass. She watched Dawn take the last bit of spaghetti.

"Dawnnn!!!" Olivia shouted jerking the plate from Dawn's mouth, this girl had brought the plate to her mouth to wipe it clean with her tongue. "You are so disgusting, I thought you have changed," she shakes her head in disbelief.

Was she that hungry? The last time she was Dawn lick her plate was probably when they were younger but right now. It was hilarious and disgusting.

Dawn tried to control herself but she ended belching and immediately gulped down her orange juice. She was a mess and she didn't care. It was her sister, so she could do whatever she liked.

"Ewww," Olivia was irritated. "You do know, that is the spaghetti you don't like."

"Really? No wonder it tasted funny" she knew it tasted weird, Dawn figured the hunger had driven away the taste. "I didn't even notice."

"How would you notice? When you were eating like a chicken."

"A chicken? You are insane, I was just hungry."

"So, what are you wearing to the party?"

"Don't you find it crazy that I haven't settled down yet."

"You seem pretty settled to me."

"I am not going."

The last thing she needed right now was a party, and the ones Olivia invited her to in the past always ended up with the worst hangovers.

She remembered one time, they had slept in the car when Roman had come to pick them.

Roman, being so nice had driven them home and watched over them while they slept in the car. He didn't want to carry them because the last time he did, Olivia had been very angry at him and at the thought of him carrying her while she was drunk.

Another was when she had fallen asleep in the bathtub and the water was on till morning. The bathroom had turned into a small pool and Dawn body had wrinkled from staying in the water that long.

Poor Blaire.

The girl had cleaned the bathroom without complain and had made them some food and drinks to soothe their hangover.

"Choose," Olivia interrupted her thoughts.

"You tell me what is going on now, or you go to the party and tell me later."

"You want to emotionally blackmail me?"

"I am."

Sip.

Sip.

They both burst out laughing.

"I really can't believe you right now," Dawn wanted to tell her everything but not right now, she knew her sister would blame her for being ignorant, but she wasn't ready for that lecture right now.

"Plus I want you to meet somebody."

"Fine," Dawn agreed. "Wait, who do you want me to meet?"

"We are going to get lit tonight, trust me."

"Tonight?" Dawn couldn't believe it. This scheming monkey."Who is this person you want to introduce me to? Is it your boyfriend?" She asked again as Olivia slightly blushed.

"I am not saying anything... More reason why you should tag along." Olivia smiled, stood up and headed inside. "Let me get my phone so we can go shopping at Mrs Parker's new shop," she yelled on her way.

"I hate you," Dawn yelled back shaking her head and taking a sip from her wine glass. First she told her it was tomorrow, now it is tonight and she brings up some mystery about someone.

"I love you too."

She heard Olivia voice echoing and she could hear her giggling.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

"Look at you," Mrs Parker smiled. She gave Dawn a big hug as well as Olivia whose eyes was already scanning the cloth racks. Olivia broke the hug quickly going to the cloth racks, she saw Mrs Parker quite often so she knew Dawn had some catching up to do with her. Her priority right now was finding a lovely gown that they could wear to the club.

"You have grown so big and beautiful," Mrs Parker complimented.

"Thank you," Dawn smiled. "How is business? I am truly impress that you could open a new store in such a short time."

"I tell my clients it is hard work, but honestly between me and you," she leaned in whispering. "It's having a wealthy and supportive husband."

Dawn smiled at the sound of that, it wasn't a hidden secret anymore, it was true that Mrs Parker's husband was a politician and supportive was his middle name when it came to his wife. If Dawn was correct , this would be the fifth shop he was opening for her.

At first, Dawn thought maybe Mrs Parker was just praising her husband, but when she and Olivia had met the man, he was exactly the way Mrs Parker had talked about him and more. Olivia had even tagged him the perfect sugar daddy, Dawn didn't object either. I mean who could resist such a man who still groomed himself so well even in his old age.

"So are you back fully?" Mrs Parker asked.

"Kind off."

"I thought your fashion program was ending by December."

"Yes, I decided that..."

"Can you both stop the chit chat and come to my aid," Olivia interrupted smiling at both of them as she winked secretly at Dawn.

Dawn knew that look, Olivia had intentionally interrupted their conversation to avoid Mrs Parker from pressurizing her into saying more than she could handle.

Thank you Olivia.

Mrs Parker was an elderly woman, not that she was a loud mouth but Dawn and Olivia were cautious of certain information that they shared with her or any of their friends.

"Is she always like this to you," Dawn whispered into Mrs Parker's ear.

"Things we do for love," Mrs Parker replied smiling.

"I think this yellow looks lush." Olivia said holding a yellow open sides gown.

"And who is wearing that?" Dawn asked going to another rack close by to check for something to her taste.

"You of course."

"Hell no," Dawn rejected as Mrs Parker giggled at both girls. She could watch them bicker all day but today wasn't the day. She had a lot of work to do.

"Excuse me please, I have business to attend to."

"I wanted to ask you that as well," Olivia replied.

"It's okay, we can sort ourselves out."

"You can ask my workers for help, if you need any," Mrs Parker smiled and walked out. Dawn could see her talking to one of her workers, probably tell her to be of help to them.

"You should be mindful of what you tell her," Olivia muttered.

"Did something happen?"

"It has something to do with Damien but we will discuss that later,"Olivia muttered again coming to Dawn side to check out what she was looking at.

"Damien? Did she do something to Damien?"

"What part of we will discuss that later didn't you get?" Olivia asked.

"Well, you should stop putting a sense of mystery when having a conversation with someone."

"So I really think you should wear this open sided gown."

"Does it come in red?"

"What?" Olivia replied astonished. She was only trying to pester Dawn, she knew Dawn didn't do too well with wearing clothes that revealed too much skin. "You do know you are going to go commando in this one."

"Yeah"

"Like no bra and panties."

"Why does it feel like you don't want me to wear it again?"

"Ofcourse, let's try the yellow first if it fit and we can get the red." Olivia replied excited, she hadn't seen Dawn in a revealing cloth in a long while, well since she had broken up with Damien. It was like the break up really got to her and even affected her dress sense but now this.

"Are you choosing this cloth because of Damien?" Olivia blurted out and wish she hadn't.

"Is Damien coming to this party?"

"Of course not... I was just asking because it's been a while that you..."

"Are you sure about Damien? I don't know Olivia your face is telling me that you are lying" Dawn said folding her hands angry at the thought that Damien might be at this supposed party. The only reason she had agreed to wear the cloth was because she felt like it, there wasn't any reason behind it.

"For the love of God there is no Damien, I am not lying."

"I will be happy if you stop mentioning Damien in any of our conversation, we are over and that's that," Dawn pleaded.

"You both can still be friends, a break up doesn't mean that you guys have to now be worst enemy." Olivia explained. She loved Dawn and Damien together and when she had heard of the break up, it didn't sit well with her. She had tried over the year to bring them together but to no avail, Damien had even stop picking her calls. She decided if she couldn't get them to date each other, maybe they could be friends and probably rekindled their love.

"We are not enemies."

"So, what are you guys? Friendnemies."

"Very funny," Dawn rolled her eyes going through the rack. She finally spotted the red colour of the dress and it came with glitters which made it pop out more than the yellow colour. "We just need space to heal."

"Fine, I will try my best to not bring him up in our discussion but you do know he is my friend."

"I know, and eventually me and him will be friends again."

"Really," Olivia smiled excited by the thoughts.

"You are doing it again," Dawn said hearing the underlined meaning in her reply.

"Am sorry," Olivia apologized but the tone still came out the same. She picked two clothes from the rack secretly smiling to herself but Dawn saw it.

"You are not going to do what I have said."

"I didn't promise you anything," Olivia giggled. She said she did try and try was not a guarantee.

"Did I tell you that I hate you today?"

"I love you too," Olivia laughed. Holding her hand and dragging her to the changing room.
