KICKASS POST FOR VIVI BARNES
I’m excited to share this extra “deleted” scene from OLIVIA TWISTED for my badass boy Z. While the story doesn’t take place around Christmastime, there is a moment where he gives Liv a gift. What you don’t know (until now) is that giving gifts is very difficult for Z, considering an event that happened to change his life forever. Enjoy!
“I have something for you.” I reach back to my nightstand and lift the small blue box. Her eyes widen as I open the lid to reveal a thin gold bracelet.
“Oh, Z, it’s beautiful.” She lifts it up to gaze at it.
“It was my mother’s,” I whisper as I watch the gold strand flex through her slender fingers. “It’s the only thing I kept of hers.”
It’s strange, giving Liv a gift. I don’t do presents—don’t do Christmas, birthdays, nothing. Everyone knows it. On Christmas Day, while the rest of the house celebrates with a Secret Santa gift exchange, I’m on my Ducati, riding through the bitter chill to the cemetery where my mother is buried. It’s the one time of year I make that visit, though it does nothing to get rid of my demons. It was Christmas night that I found her—
I swallow hard and squeeze my eyes closed for a moment, forcing away the memory that forever haunts me. No amount of therapy, legal or otherwise, has helped me deal with this. But as Liv’s eyes light up, something inside me lifts slightly—as a wave shifts a heavy stone. Maybe giving her my mother’s bracelet is the first step to getting over this.
I take the bracelet and gently fasten it above her hand, then kiss the inside of her wrist. The one thing I have that means something to me now rests on the only person who means everything to me.
Her hand strokes my cheek. “Thank you,” she says softly.
I lean down to press my lips to hers, then her chin, her jaw, her neck, loving how she tilts her head back to give me better access. I let my fingers trail down her side to pull her closer to me.
