******Olivia's POV******
Alex looks at me for sometime,"Friends?" She asks
"Yeah, Friends."
"O.....kay, friends.... I guess."she stretches her hand to me for a handshake, which I gladly oblige.
******************
They spent the rest of the evening watching replays of family feud by T.D. Jake's. It was boring, but the evening passed by surprisingly........ fast even with the dessert and wine that they got before they started watching the programme .
They spiced up the evening with a game where they guessed the answers to the questions from the TV show and anyone who gets the answer wrong has to answer a question from the winner or drink a glass of wine (something similar to truth or dare but theirs was truth or drink)
It was very casual and relaxing. Olivia was surprised that eight out of ten times they both got the answers right. Alex decided that they use different notepads to avoid copying each other, so they would write down their answers and show them to each other at the same time.
"No way!" she exclaimed after God knows how many times their answers matched
"My thoughts exactly." Olivia admitted
Alex got two answers from the TV show wrong so Olivia got her turn to ask her a question "Why neurosurgery?" she asked.
Liz told her how her mother passed away when she was young,how she didn't have anyone to tell her the bedtime stories about Cinderella, sleeping beauty, snow White and other stuff young girls love to listen to.
"My dad was and still is the only one I had, so I ended up listening to stories about his day and I thought my dad was a super hero because he can save lives and I wanted to be like him....."Alex finished.
"What should I ask next?.....Oh I know....!"
" When did you have your first boyfriend?" she saw a trace of panic on her face.
"Why would a woman of this age act like having a boyfriend is her worst nightmare?"
