A Start of Something New

"So what do want to do 1st?" Marti asked Olivia getting in to the car 

"Umm..." the young girl hummed but before she could answer she saw Ronnie running to the car 

"Where are you going with this lunitic?" he questioned her 

"Just out for a little bit don't worry. I'll see you tomarrow morning probably" 

"Alright be safe please. Don't let him talk you in to jumping off a building" 

"you're just not going to let that one go are you?" Marti asked 

"Hell no, and still don't trust you" 

"Not even after our heart to heart convo?" 

"No!"

"Heart to heart About what?" Olivia chimed in 

"Nothing, Oli. Call me later ok?" 

"I will" 

Ronnie quickly pecked her on the cheek and watch her leave. 

"How are you liking Florida?" Marti asked Olivia trying to spark a conversation 

"Its really beautiful down here. I like it. It's just the weather is strange" 

"Yeah I guess you get use to it." 

"So is it typically lIke this?" 

"Sort of. They're days when it's cold all day or hot. Sometimes just cold in the mornings and nights. But in the summer it's completely different."

"I wish I wouldve known that. Then I would have definatly packed some shorts." 

"We should go shopping" Marti suggested 

"You want to go shopping?" 

"Yeah, so I we can get you the proper Florida wear" 

"I don't know..." 

"C'mon I know the best places for clothes. Oh and one of the most biggest malls you will ever step foot in"

"I don't want to spend to much money" she said. One thing that bothered her the most was being pampered. Which she got a lot of from being the youngest and Nason feeling like be needed to give her everything she needed, wanted, and more ever since Christmas. It made her feel gulity being spoiled because she wasn't used to it.

"I'll help with that." sighing loudly she agreed. The 1st stop was to a giantic store called Beals

Marti with out a word walked over to jounior section started going through the racks 

"Um, anything particular you are looking for?" Olivia asked in a weird way she felt as if the rolls where switched they shouldve been doing the opposite of each other. Marti turned around with his hands full of clothes and handed them to Olivia then started to walk off again 

"Wait up, why are you getting all this stuff?" she said catching up 

"Shh, I'm not you're just trying on a few things to see what you like best and then we're going to another store. Now I'm concentrating." he started to head In another direction. Olivia stopped him 

"Concentrating on what?" 

"Shopping for the right things is a fine art I've mastered. They're certain places you go for when you want something pacific. I'm not even joking when I tell you I have a degree in balling on a budget"  

After that Olivia didn't question Marti anymore as he hummed to himself a picked out clothes and stacked them up. When Olivia couldn't see over the mound of shirts, shorts, pants and skirts she was holding she knew she wouldn't be able to carry much more. 

"Try those on" Marti ordered he followered her to the dressing rooms. He waited outside

this is way to much stuff She thought going in the dressing rooms and began going through all the clothes Marti picked out. Not sure of what was supposed to go anything she just sort of guessed and mixed matched. Giving credit when it is due Marti had some serious taste in clothes. It wasn't to girly, over exposing, just right.

It took alot longer than expected. She had to model a few outfits for Marti who shook his head almost everytime. suprisingly out of all of them they could only agree on 4 different outfits when they went to Check out it also took Olivia by suprise how inexpensive everything was. 

"I'm glad this is over..." Olivia started to say but was interupted by Marti 

"Oh we're not finished not even close" 

Dear lord... 

Marti was not kiding around when he said they weren't close to being done. They had to go to Tillys for aacessories then drive to the mall to go to Hollister for a swimsuit payless for shoes clairs for makeup and Victoria secret for well.... As much as she hated admitting it she was having a blast. She didn't care that every store they went into they got stares. Mainly because Marti was being well, Marti. At that point she didn't care, everywhere she went people would stare or gawk. To her it was normal

After coming out of bulid a bear workshop They sat down at a table in the food court. Sharing a personal pizza 

"I can't believe you, Marti Rubels" Olivia mumbled looking at the table 

"About what? Did I do something wrong?" 

"No you didn't." 

"Are you not having a good time. Look, if it's about what happened in Victoria Secret I promise you I'm not gay! That was the 1st time I ever-" 

"Huh?" Olivia raised an eyebrow wonder what hell he was talking about

"Ohh, so you didn't see.." Marti bit his lipring Olivia slowly shook her head 

"well I um..." Marti searched for the right words as he looked away playing with the tips of his pass his shoulder length black hair.

"I don't even wanna know" Olivia said shaking her head Marti let out a breath he had been holding then mouth the words thank you then taking a sip out of his soda 

"Are we done yet?" Olivia pouted 

"Almost, one last thing" 

"What is that?" 

Marti guestered to the salon that was across from them

"What? No way, my hair is fine!" 

"Dont act like you don't want to dye it" Marti said in a cocky tone 

"So, there is no way you're getting me in there!" Olivia said stubbornly 

20 minutes later

"I can't believe you talked me in to this" the girl muttered crossing her arms under the shaw and sitting back in the salon chair. The hair stylist started cutting at her wet hair she'd been growing for years. It was halfway down her back when she straightened it Now it was barely pass her shoulders

"What color do you want to dye your hair?" Marti asked Olivia shot him a death glared he stepped back with his hands surrenderd 

"Why are you so mad at me for!?" 

Olivia sighed knowing she couldn't keep her anger with him. Those light blue eyes with thick black eyeliner around them was something that you just couldn't get mad at 

"I'm not. I'm not sure what color I want though, you pick" 

Marti thought for a while then he face lit up meaning he had the perfact idea he Whispered something to the stylist and she nodded agreeing with him 

"Marti..." 

"Trust me you love it"  Olivia groaned once more then rolled her eyes giving up. 

"Are you ready to see now?" Marti asked his voice laced with joy when her hair was complete 

"Yessss!" Olivia hissed Marti spun her around quickly in the chair so she faced the mirror. Before her hair was a natural black now it was dark brown with a few dark red highlights 
Olivia gasped and clapped her hand around her mouth 

"Do you love it?" 

"I love it!" she said jumping out the chair and hugging him tightly 

"I can't breathe!" Marti managed to say as he gripped him tightly 

"Thank you so much Marti you're the best!"

"Aw, thank You Oli for being such an awesome friend!" 

Marti drove Olivia back to his apartment that he was room mates with Nic who was already sleeping. Together they popped some popcorn and got a couple of blankets on the couch and put in a horror movie Marti got of redbox. It was pretty scary at one part when the killer popped out of nowhere Marti screetched like a little girl and jumped next to Olivia shaking and whimpering in fear. 

Olivia fell asleep on Marti's couch midway through the 2nd movie. Carefully he picked her up bridal style, gingerly laid her down on his bed and tucked her in. He pushed her bangs out her face.  

Marti was looking down on the young girl sleeping. She seemed so peaceful. It was so understandable to him now what Ronnie meant when he told him about her. So fragile, young, innocient, funny...beautiful. Out of impulse he softly kissed her forhead then her cheek that turned a little red at the touch. She moved a bit  

"Ronnie?" she mumbled barely audiable with her eyes still shut. Marti was frozen with his face hovering just inches from hers. He didn't reply but Olivia moved again slighlty 

"I love you" she whispered the slightest smile curled up on one side of her mouth. Marti kissed her again in that exact place 

"I love you too" Marti whispered back the took a step back and stared at Olivia she slept. Then all of a sudden it felt like someone hit with a cinder block 

"Holy shit... What have I done!?"
