A Start of Something New

Ronnie's eyes shot open, realizing he must have dosed off a little bit himself. he looked down a the 18 year old girl that was lightly snoring on his chest.Ronnie gently got up from the bed being careful not to disturb Olivia.He looked at the beautiful girl curled up under the covers. He pulled the covers above her shoulders; pushing her bangs out of her face he lightly kissed her on the cheek. Quietly Ronnie tiptoed out of the guest room. He knew Nason would be looking for him about right now and before he make down the hall Nason was there.

“Oh there you dude, I’ve been looking for you.”

“Oh um, sorry ’bout that man.”

“What are you doing up here?” Nason inquired looking around confused

“I was going to ask you the same thing” Ronnie said dodging the question still weighing his options on if he should say anything. And once again he felt guilty for keeping secrets to someone that really held shit down for him for 2 ½ years. Nason didn’t deserve this kind of treatment

“Is that blood on your hand?”

“Yeah”

“What the hell happened!?”

“I uhh, gotta nose bleed.”

“Oh, are you ok?”
“Yeah sometimes I just get random nose bleeds.”

“Ok then, well I wanted to tell you that Devin wants us to crash here tonight and there’s about to be a beer pong tournament down stairs in bit, you comin’?”
“Yeah sure”

When Olivia woke up she had the most massive, mind splitting headache. She sat up realizing she was in an unfamiliar bed wearing only her bra, a thong, and lacy fishnet stockings. She searched her memory to figure out what she had transpired the previous night. She saw a short black dress and a pair of high heels on the dresser, jogging her memories she remembered cloudily going to party, talking to Lexus and drinking...a lot. With somebody she could really remember…it was a guy.
‘What was his name?’ Olivia asked herself shaking her head getting out of bed getting the dress and sliding it on and carring her heels in her hand. She was about leave the bedroom where she caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror. She was shocked at her appearance, she felt kind of a shame her hair was in complete disarray, the makeup she wore was smeared, and under her light brown hazel eyes where pink puffy circles.
‘I look like a slut’ Olivia thought walking out the room and downstairs where she saw Lexus and Lisa heading out of the front door.

“Hey, wait up!” Olivia called out
“Oh hey hun.” Lisa greeted her
“Awesome party last nigh, eh?” Lexus said
“I guess if I could remember it, it would be.”
“Well the last time I saw you and Stoney Anderson really kicking it off” Lexus told Olivia
“Really?” Olivia asked in disbelief
“Yeah I saw you guys at the bar and later snuggling up on the couch” Lexus explained. Then Olivia realized suddenly
“That’s the guy I was with last night” She said out loud
“Wait, it’s that the really cute guy with the light blue eyes from A Smile From The Trenches?” Lisa asked
“Yup” Lexus confirmed
“Oh yeah, I saw him leave the party early with a bloody nose and looked like he got the shit beat outta him. But I asked a few people and no one even knew what happened to him.” Lisa said
“Oh damn, I hope his ok” Olivia said
“Did you give him your number?” Lexus asked
“I don’t remember”
“I hope you get your memory back hun, but I have to go to work!” Lisa said
“Yeah we have to go, but maybe you can pick up clues through out the day like they did in The Hangover.” Lexus said Lisa and her laughed as they walked out the door
“Wait have you guys seen Nasty or Ronnie?”
“There in the kitchen dear!” Lisa yelled still walking not even turning around.
Olivia searched for a kitchen in the unfamiliar mansion that was a complete mess. Beer bottles and broken wine & shot glasses littered the floor. There were a few people passed out throughout the house.

Ronnie was sitting at a table with Derek, Jacky, Scotty, Nason and Devin about to get served afternoon breakfast. He was little worried for Olivia, all during the night he kept checking on her to make sure she was alright. It made his blood boil just of the thought of that Stoney guy.
“And that why his band fucking sucks and isn’t even together anymore, haha bitch I have guitar player!” Ronnie mumbled to himself not thinking he was saying it out loud
“What was that?” Derek asked
“Nothing” Ronnie said quickly
“I heard you just mumbled something dude” Nason raising an eyebrow
“It’s nothing” Ronnie repeated and that when he saw Olivia walk through the giant archway, she still looked beautiful too him even though she looked like she just fought her way through a war zone. His heart leapt, he really wanted get up to hug and kiss her and tell her everything was going to be ok, but Nason and everybody else was around.
“Hey Oli” he greeted her
“Hi Ronald” she said sitting down at the table
“Good morning or afternoon whatever it to everyone else.” Olivia said folding her arms and burring her head
“Does this lovely lady belong to any of you guys?” Devin asked eying Olivia about to kick her out like did the rest of the passed out bodies that woke up.
“Yeah, she’s mine.” Nason said raising his hand a little
“She looks a bit young don’t you think?” Devin asked with a hint of disgust in his face
“Dude, she’s my little cousin”
“I’m 18 thank you very much, Devin” Olivia said sitting her head up
“Oh well, did you have a good time last night?” Devin asked Olivia
“I suppose, but I can’t remember anything”
“You can’t remember anything?” Ronnie asked
“I just said that Ronald” Olivia said everyone at the table giggled and chuckled
“Yeah, Ronald” Jacky mocked everyone chuckled and giggle but Derek erupted in laughter, just in time for there meal to come
“Sorry” Olivia apologized to Ronnie; “I feel like shit right now” Olivia caught herself by surprise. She never ever cursed before she looked at Ronnie and Nason who both looked caught of guard, but she simply shrugged her shoulders and buried her head once more in her crossed arms
“Rosalina, get our late arriver something to eat” Devin ordered Rosalina was a plump Haitian woman, she mumbled stuff in Creole as she was about to fix another plate
“That’s ok I’m not hungry right now” Olivia mumbled her face still hidden
Devin dismissed his servant.
“You sure Oli, salty crackers helps out a hangover. Hey Devin you got any saltine crackers in here?”
“I’m fine Ronnie. You just eat ok, I’m to hungover to even think about consuming anything…well water would be nice my throat is awful dry.” she said raising her head once more
“Ok but just don’t want you to starve yourself for two days again.”
“I didn’t do that on purpose.”
“Yeah I know, you want my orange juice” Ronnie asked giving Olivia the glass
“Thanks.” she said and then drinking it
Nason cleared his throat loud and audible, clearly to get his attention.
When he and Olivia looked around everyone was staring at them both
“What?” Ronnie asked innocently
“We need to talk.” Nason said getting up from his chair walking out the room Ronnie followed him
“Dude, is there anything going on between you and Olivia?”
“No, bro I told you that already” Ronnie lied
“I have a weird feeling that’s a lie” Nason retorted
“Why would I lie about this?” Ronnie asked questioning Nason’s reasonable suspicions
“I don’t know! That’s what I’m trying to figure out.”
“Dude…are accusing me?”
“Why where you upstairs last night?” Nason questioned further
“I told you my nose started leaking” Ronnie said Nason started at him for a good long minuet.
“I ever catch your hands on my baby cousin in any inappropriate way….I’ll break them. Understood?” Nason threatened with a firm voice and Ronnie could tell by the seriousness in his voice and facial expression he was not kidding
“Yeah man, understood completely.”
