" Our dresses " she chirps and I stand to grab but she pulls away wagging her finger at me
" No , yours is a surprise but I can show you mine ? " she unzips the bag and pulls out a white long sleeve lacy form fitting gown .
The top part lacy and and the bottom part silky and flared on the floor , it was gorgeous .
" Oh my god Liv , this dress is beautiful" I say running my fingers over the design .
" Wait until you see your dress I designed it your gonna love it " she smirks and I frown .
" Why can't I see it now ?" I whine

" There was a girl but she's going with someone so you know . . " he says and I nod .
" Yeah I understand " I grab the notepad to take some orders .
I leave the kitchen area and head to the dining room and groaned as I spotted Nick and Hannah at table number five chatting .
I sighed " You've got to be kidding me" I mutter .
" Everything alright want me to take there order ?" My co worker Bailey ask kindly .
" No it's okay you should rest " I say as she placed her hand over her swollen belly .
She gives me a small smile and sits down where she takes the seat reservations .
I take a deep breath and walk towards the table a fake smile on my face .
" Welcome to Bristo , what would you like to order " I set the menus down and Nick looks at me in surprise .
" Lydia , I didn't know you worked here ? " he says .
" Well you know now " I forced out a laugh .
" It's really nice here , I love the theme and the scenery " Hannah gushes looking around .

When I got home Olivia was sowing something in her room so the machine was loud .
I knock on the door and opened seeing fabrics and fabrics of clothes scattered on the floor .
Mannequins were scattered in the corner of her room as Olivia
Sowed a pink dress .
" What's going on ? " I raised my brow and Olivia turns around her shoulder length dark brown hair was messy and her light brown eyes wild .
" Andrew is what's wrong !" She exclaims throwing her hands in the air in exasperation .
" Who's Andrew ?" I step over the clothes .
" He's filling in for Maryann since she's busy with the ice ball preparations , he's so bossy and rude and orders me around since I'm an intern . He may be hot but I'm not having it " Olivia says wiping her forehead which was covered in sweat .
" And I have to sow fifty dresses for the models that's performing at the ice ball in two days , my fingers are cramping and I'm loosing my mind " Olivia sighs and frowns laying her head on my shoulder .
I run my fingers through her hair " I feel sorry for you " I say .
" Yeah me to . . Andrew is really hot though and young he's 21 like us , if he was nice maybe I would like him but no he's a douche bag " Olivia sighs and stares at the mess on the floor .
" Well how about you relax for a few hours , I'll help clean up all this mess and then later on you can sow and finish up " I suggest and Olivia sighs then nods .
" Oh I forgot to ask you , why did you call Nick over ? " I raised my brow and Olivia smiles sheepishly .
" I may have invited him to my graduation . . And I wanted you guys to see each other again maybe re-spark that love you guys lost . But I didn't expect for him to move here with Barbie " Olivia spats .
" But still you didn't have to invite him" I sigh picking up the fabrics .
" He's my best friend Lydia , and plus he emailed me saying he might move here with his fiancé " Olivia changed into her Pj's .
" I understand but you should of talked to me first . Give me a heads up " I say
" I know and I knew how much you still love him after all these years . Plus you guys didn't been break up " Olivia yawns .
" I know " I frowned , me and Nick really didn't break up for all we know were probably still boyfriend and girlfriend .
Olivia gasped then squeals .

" Who's . Seth Madden "
Olivia gasped " he's the hottest young billionaire , he's Maryann's Youngest son his father Richard Madden lent his company's to Seth because his two oldest sons declined the offer " Olivia says one one breath.
" What's so special about him ? " I say putting the fabrics on the hamper .
