Olivia Summers

I can't believe it... I think of you when I'm going to bed, when I wake up, think of you again... Dylan... I woke up early again today to check my love horoscope, I immediately grabbed my phone and checked it.

It stated there that my lucky color to attract love closer is orange, and that I am soon to meet my rival in love... it's going to be tough... but when the times get rough, There is no giving up.

After eating my breakfast and brushing my teeth, I took a bath as I'm singing in the shower La da di, la da da, la da daaa~

I wore a cute and colourful floral dress along with my stand out neon orange leggings and pink flats.

I braided my hair messily and immediately went outside with my binoculars hanging around my neck. As I saw Dylan step outide the hotel he's checking in, I went outside as well to follow him.

Now then, let the stalking begin! As he continued to walk, I slowly followed him with a 1 meter distance. Suddenly he turned around so I quickly turned around and pretended that I'm tying my shoelace.

Crap! He almost saw me stalking him.

Thank you stalking instict and adrenaline rush. I owe it all to my previous crushes, my stalking experience was worth it.

As usual, he went inside the convinience store buying some foods again.

Okay stalker notes #1: he loves food, well everyone does, everyone I know at least but he likes sweets.

After buying, Dylan immediately went back to his hotel. While I, on the other hand, went inside the convinience store and cheerfully stated, "My name is Olivia Summers, just like the sun during the summer, I am positive, hopeful and cheerful especially in love, I'd like to apply here."

"For what reason?" That grumpy lady from yesterday asked

"Love... Oh and for money, I'm running low on money too."

"I know you're only applying here for that Dylan guy."

"Really? You truly understand a maiden's heart when she's in love." I stated

"You're not in love. You're hopeless, besides it's written all over your face." Then the lady continued, "They're hiring maids for the hotel Dylan's checking in, you can just apply there."

"Really? Thank you! You are our cupid helping us fulfill our destiny together." I replied daydreaming of my future with Dylan but then I snap back into this reality, "Did you say... maid? I suck at cleaning and cooking and-"

She cuts me off and said, "They're offering a high paying salary and free room beside the hotel owner's son."

"Son? So... it's basically baby sitting, right?"

She snorts and say, "Sure."

"Then why didn't you say so? I love kids and I'm excellent at them! Thank you!"

"Whatever. Don't get it wrong, it's just because I wouldn't like to work with someone like you."

"What's your name, our cupid?" I asked

"Isabelle Edwards, now go and pursue your hopeless love and never bother me again." So, as our cupid instructed, I went inside the hotel and as I entered it was already crowded inside, seems like all the applicants are girls... What's this?! Are they after my Dylan? I won't let them!

Do they have the same goals as mine?

This can't be!

I grabbed my backpack and pulled out a red lipstick. I marked lines at both my cheeks and declared, "This is war!"

I squeezed into the people around, I can easily squeeze in thanks to my height. This is your lesson to never underestimate small people- especially broke fangirls like me who can only pay for a faraway spot.

 I've encountered more people that these so step aside and learn from a pro, girls!

I managed to be in frontline as the owner of the hotel stated, "I am the owner of this hotel and Damon will be arriving soon as I stated in my ads, I'm sure you know him. So I am hiring a personal maid for him." As the lady, the owner of the hotel stated the name 'Damon', a lot of girls blushed as they shouted in a high pitched sound.

She continued, "I've stated everything in the contract. Non-compliance means the termination of it."

The girls beside me murmurs, "I don't mind~"

"I know right. Someone as hot as Damon, I will break rules for him too!"

Their statements make me want to puke. What's with these pedophiles? Why would they like a kid we're suppose to babysit?

"What room number will he check in, miss?" I asked boldly

"Why does that even matter- Oh whatever, Room 143."

In that case, I need to get this job! If Dylan is in room 144, then I'll be in room 143... This is perfect!

So I'll pursue this love to win Dylan's heart! Plus, I get to earn. Isn't this very?

"Please hire me!" I declared as I raised my hand with confidence

The hotel owner simply laughed gently and asked, "What's your reason for appyling and your name? You do know that you're talking to the owner of this hotel, right?"

"She's Olivia Summers." As I looked around to find who said that, I found Dylan at the corner and walked beside the owner.

Dylan... He's so dreamy as ever... stunting that light denim pants and light and thin polo. You bring my heart to life... You light me up inside like the 4th of July, Whenever you're around I always seem to smile.

The applicants went wild and kept complementing him, "He's so cute and charming. No wonder he's his brother."

Dylan went near me and smiled cheerfully at me, "Hi, Olivia, it's a coincidence meeting you again."

"It is not a coincidence but destiny!" I said with hope in my eyes

Dylan chuckled softly and wiped the stain of red lipstick from my cheeks with his hankerchief, "You're funny as always."

I arrogantly flipped my hair to mock the girls squeeling and belitting me.

"You know her, Dylan?" The owner asks

"Yea... I kinda met her yesterday." Dylan replied, "Be nice to her, okay?"

"Was she the reason you went outside the hotel last night, you were so worried, you ran as soon as you left the hotel."

"Mom! That's not true." Dylan denied as he looked away

Mom...?! My mother-in-law is this pretty lady who owns the hotel?... They own this expensive hotel that serves gold for breakfast?!

"So what's your reason for applying? Olivia?" Dylan's mom asked

"For my future." I stated

For my future with Dylan, I have to be closer to him, literally closer until I'm only a room away from him.

"That's so nice, you're already earning money for your future." She seems to misunderstood well, whatever. "Since my son knows you and you seem positive, I'd be happy to hire you."

Then she continued, "Just don't go crying to me like the previous girls. I wish you good luck in handling Damon. He can be... challenging."

Just what kind of kid is Damon? Is he a super spoiled brat or something?! Well, I have to endure... The things I do for love.

The pretty owner of the hotel, Dylan's mom talked to me privately as she asked me to sign a bunch of papers. She said, "Don't worry, this is just to protect our image. As you know... Damon's kind of..."

"A brat?"

Dylan's mom laughed at me and said, "Yes he can be. You're indeed funny and honest I must say. No wonder why Dylan seems to like you. Anyways, you can start as soon as you can. Damon will be here soon."

"All that I ask from you is to tend his needs like food, clean room and those kind. I'm also hiring you... ah, never mind, I'll tell you your real goal after you meet him and decide for yourself." She added with a hesitant smile.

After a while, Dylan left and is headed towards the car that just arrived.

I immediately squeezed myself in the crowd once again and went outside but too bad, he already left. If you think I'd easily give up, no! I quickly grabbed the bike beside me and pedalled as fast as I can until I reached where the car stopped.

At another high class hotel with a outdoor pool. There he is. Dylan and he's with... A girl?!! Who is she?

    Damon Ashton I woke up, took a bath, got ready and changed into my a loose gray tank top paired with my white board shorts along with my beach shades and black leather bracelets. I was late for breakfast as usual so I headed outside. "Hey Dy, did you see where Olivia is?" I asked Dylan .He was with Summer on their way to swim at the beach, I guess, he answered, "She's changing, she's going to try surfing.""You should teach her, you're much better than I am at surfing." Summer added."Are you guys doing what I think you're doing?" I raised an eyebrow. Summer looked away and said, "No. What are you thinking?""You're a horrible liar, Summer." I snickered, "Stop setting us up. It won't happen.""Setting you with Olivia? Never! She's too good for you, brother, keep dreaming." Dylan scoffed."Ah, of course, my number hater. I guess it's only Summer who's setting me up then." I said, "Well, I'm off. I'll go see Olivia. See you."Then Olivia went out, wearing her black rash guard along wi

    Olivia Summers How nice it is to have a family, someone you can come home to. The laughters, smiles on their faces seems warm. I finally saw Damon laugh for real without holding or hiding anything, I saw Dylan happy with Summer and with that peace of mind shows in his face.Truth be told, it made me a little envious and I felt a sharp sting in my heart. But also, it struck me. I finally made up my mind.After a few minutes, we cleaned the table where we ate and Summer and Dylan took care of the dishes. I changed into my pajamas and went outside to stroll for a while, suddenly Damon appeared in front of me, "Miss me?""Yeah, I was about to but if we weren't together just 5mins ago" I mocked"Aw, I'm touched. You just admitted you missed me.""I speak fluent sarcasm so if your tiny brain can't seem to grasp that," I continued, "I didn't miss you so please go away and let me have my peace for five minutes.""Never, part of the routine, anyways, where are you going?""At the convenience

    Damon Ashton "I think it's better if we leave them alone." I told Summer and she simply smiled, "You're right."We both left and sat at the hammock near the beach house, Summer broke our silence and asked awkwardly, "So... how are you?" "Not so well.""Right. Sorry that was a dumb question." She averted her gaze towards me, "I didn't love him because he's better than you nor because he's perfect in everyone's eyes, I just love him, that's that. Sorry for leaving you and hurting you like everyone did.""I'm sorry for saying that to you. I didn't mean to make you feel gulty." I looked at her once again, with those simply and messy hair, wearing a sleeveless flowy dress, "I know but I just didn't accepted it." I chuckled softly, "Olivia told me that it's all about finding someone worth the pain, I'm okay now and I want her to be too.""Olivia Summers seems like a nice girl.""Maybe it's a given to those who have Summer in their names." "Definitely." Summer laughed. "I hope you find pe

  • The Only Exception   Chapter 28: "Happier"

    Olivia Summers I watched there as Damon took care of his dad and tucked him in with a warm blanket, he kissed him in the forehead, "Goodnight dad." I never saw that gentle and warm side of him. It feels more like, it wasn't that I didn't see it, it was just that he purposely hid it from the world. But at the same it, it feels exactly like Damon. I've always seen it actually. That behind all that bravado, he's a good person. It was just that he was trying so hard not to be. Or maybe, I refused to see it. I refused to see any reason to like him because he... reminded me of myself. It was like looking into his eyes, I see myself. Abadoned and incomplete. I didn't want to see it because looking at him made me want to confront my demons and fears and I wasn't ready to do so. But then again, I don't think I'll ever be ready. It wasn't really a matter of getting ready, it was a matter of whether I would be braver this time to actually take the first step into facing it? While I was pre

    Damon AshtonAfter a while, we both got ready for bed, I tucked myself in and bid goodnight to Olivia, "See you in my dream, Olivia.""If I see you in mine, that would be a nightmare!" Olivia mocked, "Now, let me sleep in peace and don't you dare visit my dreams because I swear to god, I will murder you in your sleep.""Geez, that's too crazy, Olivia, even for you.""What does that mean?" She raised an eyebrow and hits me with a pillow, "How annoying!""I look like Dylan a lot, so honestly why him?" Why is it always him? Can't it be me for once in my life? I just sounded like I'm wallowing in self-pity. I sounded a lot like dad. I will never be him. I swore it. Never."I've had enough with those casanovas playing feelings with others." Olivia continued, "Dylan, however, is the opposite, he's perfect and he's a nice guy, really nice.""Even if he breaks your heart?""Even if he breaks my heart." Olivia said, "Dylan's just that kind of person. He's effortlessly... kind.""I could be nic
