Sabrina must have felt pretty terrible hearing that.
And, just as I expected, she spoke up right away. "I went straight to Brian and asked if he has feelings for Vivian. He denied it, but I was so angry-I ended up having a huge fight with him." "Vivian's not exactly innocent either. She tried to cozy up to Brian through me, even gavea designer bag to bribe me." Sabrina scoffed, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "As if I can't buy my own bags. Like I'd ever care about her cheap little purse." Olivia tried to reassure her. "I really don't think Brian likes Vivian. If he did, they'd already be together. From what I see, he's serious about you. Don't let soutsider mess up what you have. You guys should just talk it out." Allison nodded in agreement. "Yeah, seriously. You know how Brian treats you. You'd be able to tell if he was acting shady, right?" Sabrina let out a frustrated huff. "Men are such smooth talkers. Anyone can say sweet things, but how do I know if he actually means it? Look at George-he treats that college girl like a princess, but he's told everyone it's just a fling." Olivia pressed her lips together, not sure what to say. Her brother could be a real jerk sometimes.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe'd been seeing that college girl for over half a year now, and still hadn't introduced her to anyone in the family. He obviously wasn't planning to include her in his real life. Basically, he was just playing around, never serious.
After Sabrina said that, Olivia was at a loss for words.
But Allison tried to talk ssense into her. "Brian isn't George, and you're nothing like George's girlfriend. As far as I know, you're the only girl Brian's ever dated. He's not splayer. Plus, you're not just srandom girl-you're part of our circle, you've got your own background. You can't compare yourself to her." Sabrina sighed, her voice tired. "I had a huge fight with Brian. I feel like he's not being real with me, and he thinks I don't trust him. We argued so much, and now we haven't spoken in almost a whole day." Olivia suggested gently, "Maybe you could find a chance to really talk it over?" Sabrina looked down. "I just can't bring myself to reach out first." Olivia's eyes brightened. "Hey, remember the amusement park my family invested in? It just opened this week. Why don't we all go together this weekend? I'll invite Brian too, so it won't seem like you're the one making the first move." Sabrina thought about it for a moment, then nodded.
"Allie, you should ctoo," Olivia said. "You've been so busy with work lately.
You need a break." Allison grinned. "I'm in." Saturday. Amusement park.
Allison reached the entrance and slowed down when she spotted a familiar figure.
Joshua? What was he doing here? He was dressed in a light gray casual set-short-sleeved shirt, matching pants. At around six-three, with sharp features and slightly mess hair, he stood out right away. Allison noticed a few people sneaking photos of him with their phones. to She walked over, shooting Olivia a silent question with her eyes.
Olivia just smiled, all innocence. "Joshua happened to be free, som e asked him to join us." Allison smile at Joshua, at
e on her lips. "Didn't take you for someone who likes thparks. NO
He smiled back, eyes warm. "I'm not, really. But when I heard you weren ve coming couldn't say no."
