Blame

Chapter 5

Olivia's POV: 

It was finally Monday and deep down I really didn't want to see Dan today. I knew I shouldn't have gone to that party. I got dressed, had some cereal, then left for work. I arrived at work and parked at in the car park. I checked my Facebook account as I  made my way to the entrance of the building. Because I wasn't watching where I was going I bumped into someone and my phone was knocked out of my hand. "What the hell!" I shouted. I turned to my right and realised the person was Dan. Seriously, why do we keep bumping into each other? "Oh my god, I'm so sorry," he said handing me my phone. "Thank you," I replied heading into the workplace. 

Work was just like every other work day and it went by so fast today. Work was now finished and I couldn't be happier. As I made my way out of the building, I heard Dan calling my name. 

"Olivia!" he said jogging towards me. "Hey, can I talk to you?" He asked. 

"Why?" I said as I continued walking.

"I wanna talk about us," He sighed

 "Us? What is there to talk about?" 

"I wanna talk about what happened after the party and also about our friendsh-" 

"Dan, please I really don't wanna hear it. What happened between us after the party...We should just put it behind us. And we can carry on hating each other," I replied walking towards my car. 

He grabbed my arm and turned me around so I'm facing him. "Look, I don't want us hating each other. I want us to get along and to be like how we used to be at uni."

"Well, you do remember what why I hate you right?" I asked folding my arms

"Yes, I do and it was stupid. I should've never said that about you," he sighed. "I'm sorry." 

"Apology accepted. I'll see you tomorrow and I'm sorry for what I did too," I said getting into my car. 

"Thanks," He replied, with a small smile on his face.

I turned my alarm off, sat up and started thinking about how Dan and I sort of made up. I kinda felt good and I didn't feel angry at him anymore. Maybe the both of us apologising was what we needed to do to move on. 

I jumped in the shower, got dressed then I went to the kitchen and cooked breakfast. I had eggs, bacon and toast and a cup of coffee. After eating, I made my way to my car and headed to work.

I arrived at my workspace and saw Dan with his headphones on bobbing along to the song. I sat down at my desk then he turned to me and smiled. "Hey...you okay?" He asked taking his headphones off.

"Hey, yeah I am. How about you?" I replied

"Yeah, I'm good. Um...I was wondering if you wanted to grab lunch together?" He asked nervously

"Yeah, sure," I smiled

At lunch, we went to Starbucks and talked about what has happened in our lives. "I'm happy that we made up," Dan spoke. 

"Yeah, me too. But you do know it's gonna take some time for us to get close like how we used to?" I asked

"Yeah, I do. I'm just happy that we made up. I never should've said those things about you." He said fiddling with his cup.

"And I never should've accused you of something you didn't do. I guess I was being bitchy."

We both looked at each other and started laughing.

"You think? But it's all good, I'm glad that we've moved past that." Dan smiled

"Me too."
