Am going back to my lonely life in New York, and there was nothing I could do about it. Nothing at all . Not even being angry at her would help. If only she'd tell me about Noah's father, my mind would be at rest. "Please, Olivia, I want to know about him , I've my reason, which I would tell you latter, but I would like to know him about before I got back to New York,"
She sighed and rubbed her forehead with her hand. She felt a monster of a headache coming on, and it wasn't even nine o'clock in the morning
"Olivia .what's wrong? My voice broke into her thoughts. "If you don't want to talk about it, I would respect your decision and never asked you of it."
"Nothing. She shook her head but couldn't t bear to look up at me. "You didn't say anything. Nothing I Shouldn't have expected, anyway." She cleared her throat and finally met my gaze. "Why are courious about him?"
"I don't know, maybe I just want to. Maybe....I really felt I should know, you don't like to mention it, though I respect your reason for that." I said don't want to tell her my reason, though I collected Naoh's sample this morning when I was getting him ready for school, but I wanted her to confirm my couristy.
"I was only seventeen when my friend, took me to New York for her birthday party, she will be eighteen and her rich parents what to do something special for her, her parents host the party her at their mansion, after the house birthday party, her boyfriend also host her again at the club the same day, so...... we are excited, going to club for the first time in my life, though we was under age, A fake ID was given to us to enable us to enter the club. That night we had, we.... had a lot of fun...... I got drunk, my friend send me to her room, but unfortunately for me, I got out of the room to get some real food, am feeling hot,I need sexual reason, without thinking about the consequences, I entered available room, still feeling hot , I saw a guy coming towards me, I immediately grab him and start kissing him, after some hesitation, he took the lead. He took my virginity and had his way with me though out the whole night." She stopped and looked through the window, while I was waiting patiently for her to continue. "In morning, he left a dirty note for me with his number and five hundred dollars."
"Damn! I course inwardly as I stood up and walked towards the window .
"I was very angry with him at first and tore the note. When my friend told me what really happened, that her boyfriend brother spike my drink, but she save me and send me to her room, I did blamed her or the guy, I blame myself for every thing that happened, after one month, I found out that I was pregnant with Naoh.....but then it's already too late, I had tore his card he dropped." turned away from the window and looked at her speechless. She continued "You see why I didn't like to talk about it, I really don't know who Naoh's father was, it's better I leave it on a good note.... Does that make you feel better?"
I eyed her warily. "Am so sorry for your bitter experience .... don't you want to know who the father was. "
"I had the good grace to live without him over eight good years . We don't need him now, though am sure he didn't know about Naoh's existence" we can manage now. "
I took a few steps towards her, but looked awkward and ill at ease. I stared down at her, as if I were about something more. Something serious and momentous. "But he will be very glad to know he had a lovely son right " I wanted to hold and kiss her. To let her know the truth, but I didn't. I was feeling so ashamed to let her know am the guy from that night, and Naoh is my son. damn it! I fuck up big time. She would never believed me, I am a mess!
A car horn sounded outside the house. Olivia and looked through the window. It was a tow truck from the rental car agency "Look like your ride is here,"she said.
"I reached out and cupped her cheek with my hand, studyng her face as if trying to memorize her features down to the last details. "If you happened to meet Naoh's father in future, would you be able to forgive him for being bad ass" I asked suddenly fleeing the to gain her forgiveness first.
She laughed and said "yes of course, it had been long and it's not his fault, am in need of sexual release, am feeling hot all over my body, and very sad to admit but I attacked him first, my only regret is the note he left on the table."
"You certainly weren't what I expected, Olivia Christopher ," I said quietly,
"Neither were you, Brian Adams," she replied with a wistful smile.
I smiled back, then leaned forward and dropped a breathlessly brief kiss on her lips. I felt the sudden impulse to hold her tightly. Instead I released her, then turned and collected my small duffel bag and computer case.
"So long, Olivia . Take care of yourself...and Noah." My voice was low and husky as he walked out the door.
"So long, Brian ," she replied quietly.
She stood by the open door and watched as I boarded the pickup truck. When the truck pulledd away, I waved from the window. Olivia waved back, I looked at her one more time and sit back and rest my head back as the truck pull to mine road . In the quest of saving my brother from making a long choice, I found out the strange girl I spent more than six months looking for was actually the mother of my unknown son. What a mystery of of life.
