Chapter 18

We were both shocked and dumbfounded when we heard the voice. We both turned immediately toward the voice, only to find Arielle standing a few feet away from us. I turned to meet Oliver's gaze. I was signaling for him to say something, but he was just too scared to say a word. I knew right then and there that I had to manage the situation before it spun out of control.

"Nothing, just having a little falling out with Oliver." I tried covering up. I didn't know how much of our conversation she listened to, but I just knew it was best to start this way.

"Baby, I have never seen you guys argue over anything; are you sure this is nothing?" Arielle kept shaking Oliver's right arm while Oliver stared at her like a moron.

I don't like her one bit, but I just don't want her to find out what transpired between Oliver and me.

I quickly eyeballed Oliver to say something to salvage the situation; he caught on and assured her that he was fine. He also assured her that we were practically fine now.
