DERRICK
Now we all know why.
Olivia hightailed it from Scotland to LA, showed up on Axel’s doorstep, and confessed her love for him. Very romantic. Also, the reason no one could contact her was because she was on a plane, and luckily she arrived when she did because Axel was ready to hop on his jet and head to her.
We gave the love birds some time alone, but we were all desperate to see them together. Vanessa and Christian suggested a celebratory dinner at their place, because we are all so happy that things have turned out for the best for them.
“They’re here.” Vanessa squeals, alerting us to action stations as we watch them pull up out the front of her house. Olivia looks like she is shitting herself and I get it, we are very protective of Axel, and we let her know where our loyalties lie when it came to her choosing Lord Fuck Face over Kinky McHottie Rock Star. She probably thinks we are still salty with her, but we aren’t, not really. Not if Axel is happy, and the fact that he has had her holed up in bed at his home since she’s arrived says it all. “You’re finally here,” Vanessa says excitedly. Olivia relaxes as soon as she hugs her.
“Princess, you finally made the right choice,” I tease, giving Olivia a big hug and kiss.
“I know, it took me a while,” she says, looking up at Axel. You can see the literal heart eyes when she looks at him, and he is looking at her the same way. He’s so knocking her up the moment she says yes to kids. It’s the same way Christian looked at Ness.
“Glad to see you again,” Sienna says, throwing an air kiss amongst the chaos.
“I’m so happy to see you,” Stacey says, pulling Olivia into a hug.
I bet she is.I wonder now that she’s back if the four of them are going to play at the club?
“Hey, move out of the way, I want to see my soon-to-be sister-in-law,” Christian calls out as he grabs Olivia and whirls her around excitedly. “I’ve always wanted a sister.”
Axel and Olivia are stunned by his brother’s remarks. “Hey, I just got her back, Chris. I don’t need you scaring her away, man,” Axel tells his brother.
Dial down the enthusiasm, Chris.
“I’m just happy, that’s all.” He wraps his arm around Vanessa and rubs her expanding belly. Guessing, Chris wants Axel to hurry up and produce some cousins for his little girls to play with.
“Come on inside, grab some drinks and food. I’m starving.” Vanessa chuckles, patting her baby bump.
“Hey, man.” Oscar claps Axel on his back, then kisses Olivia on the cheek. “Good to see you guys together.”
Is it wrong that I am watching this interaction a little more closely than I would normally? I’m dissecting the way Oscar touches Olivia to see if there is anything there. Is Axel jealous that Oscar touched his woman? He looks happy, so no. Olivia is blushing, so I'm wondering if she is thinking about the wickedthings Oscar and Stacey have done to her.Wish I was a fly on the wall for that.
“I couldn’t be happier,” Axel tells Oscar as he looks down at Olivia.
I continue to let my mind wander and zone out on what they are talking about until I hear Isla’s name being mentioned by Olivia.
“How’s Isla doing? I didn’t get a chance to see her before she left.”
“She sounds happy, relaxed … I think it was the best thing for her, honestly. But she’s my baby sister, and I miss her,” Oscar answers.
Aw, poor Ragnar missing his baby sister, maybe he shouldn’t have been a protective dick, and she wouldn’t have left. Stacey wanders over, and Oscar’s face lights up when he sees her. Now my mind is fully wandering, seeing the four of them together, all we are missing is Jackson. What a hot foursome they are. Is it weird sitting here and fantasizing about your friends’ sex lives?It is. I know it is.
“I’m so happy for you two. I’m glad it worked out in the end … you two were meant to be,” Stacey adds.
“Me, too. I still feel bad for putting Axel through everything.” You can see the guilt that is etched on Olivia’s face. Eventually, that guilt will disappear, princess.
“I’m happy you came to your senses,” Axel teases before placing a kiss on her forehead. Swoon. But also, Axel Taylor doesn’t joke.
“So, are you two planning on going to The Paradise Club anytime soon?” Stacey asks.
I still. I don’t think they realize I can hear their conversation. I mean, I am a gold medalist eavesdropper as I continue to play on my phone, acting as if all I can hear is the sirens and cars honking, traveling through the Hollywood Hills.
“Maybe, we haven’t had time to think about it,” Olivia whispers as she looks at Axel and then the other two, her cheeks burning pink.
“Oh, okay. Well … Liv, if you ever want to … you know …” Stacey giggles.
Oh my god! Is it hot in here? I can’t believe these filthy beings are talking like this here, but please continue.
