“Uh…can we just pretend I didn’t say anything? There’s totally not going to be a sleepover this weekend at Miles’ house. That would be crazy!”
“EEEEEKKKKK!!!!! YOU’RE HAVING A SLEEPOVER WITH MILES?”
“Shhhhh!! Calm down Rae or you’ll wake the whole neighborhood.”
Rae rolled her eyes at Liv before settling down again.
“Sorry...sorry. So, Miles invited you over for the weekend and you didn’t tell me?”
“I mean I was going to. I just didn’t know the right time.”
“Well whatever. That doesn’t matter. I’m so excited to hear about this weekend! Do you know if he has anything planned?”
Olivia shook her head. She wished that Miles would have given her some type of clue, but when she mentioned it earlier he told her that he wanted to keep it a surprise.
Who was she to ruin a man’s surprise, so she let it go and continued to let him have his fun. Olivia didn’t hate surprises, she just liked knowing what was going on. The unknown was scary to her.
“Either way, I think it’s going…”
Raelyn was cut off by the buzzing of Liv’s phone. Glancing down, her heart began to race and it felt like the walls were closing in.
Unknown: I wonder if your little friend knows the secret that you’re hiding.
Unknown: Just know Cassidy, I’m always watching just waiting for the time to take back what’s mine.
“Okay, there’s no way that look was just nerves about this weekend. What is it?”
“Oh it’s nothing. Must be a wrong number or something.”
“You wouldn’t look like you’re about to throw up if it was just a wrong number.”
“It’s fine Rae, there’s nothing going on.”
“Okay fine, but if there’s something that you are worried about you know that you can always tell me. If I can’t do anything, maybe Daddy or Miles can. Promise that you will say something if it keeps going on.”
Before Olivia could respond she heard a voice clear from the doorway.
“Girls, it's time for bed. You both have an early morning tomorrow and a long day at work.”
Liv had never been more grateful for Emmett’s timing. Leaning over she gave Rae a hug before Emmett picked her up and headed out the room.
“Daddy did you know that Miles and Olivia are having a sleepover this weekend?”
“I did know that, Little Duckling.”
“What! And you didn’t say anything?”
“It wasn’t my secret to tell.”
Olivia couldn’t hear Rae’s response, but knowing her best friend it wouldn’t be anything less than sassy.
Raelyn enjoyed poking at Emmett and she wasn’t going to let it go that she was the only one not in the know about the weekend plans.
Grabbing Nibbles, Liv crawled into the bed in the playroom and pulled out her phone.
Olivia: Goodnight Miles, I can’t wait till tomorrow.
Miles: Me either, Little Bunny. Me either.
