"Okay, "I'm off, she announced to Noah and me. Don't let him eat too much rich food, please," she instructed. And make sure he brushes his teeth."
"Don't worry. I'll take good care of him, I promised. " When will you be back?" I asked "Uh...I'm not sure. Not too late, I don't think, she said to me with a smile. "Well, don't rush...but I do have an early meeting tomorrow," I added. "I don't want to turn in too late. Oh, okay. I'll remember, Olivia replied "Anything else? "Uh, yes... " I reached into my jacket pocket and withdrew my cell phone. "Here, take this. Just in case of an emergency. This way I know I can reach you." I quickly showed her my number . "All right, she stared down at the phone, then put it in her bag. She kissed Noah goodbye, then waved to me. " Have a good time." She said to us.
"Yes, you, too," I replied graciously, though am not happy with her dinner date, since I wanted to take my time in telling her about me, feel am running behind, so guys are faster and smarter, I decided to tell her everything Everything to night but before she accepted marriage proposal. The guy must be rich to afford this suite for her. I thought. God damn! I run my hand through my head.
"Is everything alright Brian," I heard Noah asked as I swing around as I saw him looking up at me.
"Oh no," my boy......, I was thinking, why can't you we go out and show you around the town."
'Wow! That would be great." He said excited.
"Then , shall we," I said . We weant and I show him around the , the town, Twin Towers, and we try out some Japanese food he read about , being a rively boy to stay we enjoyed our small tour. He went to bed straight once we're back to the suit. I checked and Olivia is back yet . I called the cell to check on her some many but no picking . But I continue calling her, then she switchoff the phone , I was very angry, as looking around the room, finding it absolutely quite. I decided to turn the television while I waited for her to come back. I was watching entertainment new I saw the mystery write and its hand to be Olivia. I but her second book, when I came to New York, without any idea she the the writer, G.O. Chris, she wasn't her name. What's else she's hiding, I wondered. I heard the door open and I saw her entered the suite. I stretched out on the sofa, reading. As she entered the room, I put down the book I was reading and sat up. "Hi, how did it go," she asked. " No problems. I took Noah downtown to see the Twin Towers, then we had Japanese food. He's read about it and wanted to try some. I think he liked it" I said . "He went right to bed when we got back. I guess the trp and all the excitement caught up with him." I paused and met her eye "How did your date go?" I asked casually, not letting her know that am aware of her new achievement, wondering why didn't tell me about it. "Fine," she said slowly. She sat in the arm- chair closest to me, her hands folded in her lap. She cleared my throat. "It wasn't a date, exactly...more of a business meeting. "Really?" I raised my dark brows rose slightly. "And what business are you in lately, Olivia ?..Or should I call you G. O . Chris now? Olivia gasped. "You know about my writing...? Did Noah tell you?" "No, it wasn't Noah. I saw you on TV tonight Some segment with entertainment news. They had a piece about hot new mystery writers. They showed Your picture. It was quite a nice photo," I added. Good review, too. I just happen to be reading the new one myself. Surprising her further, I held up her latest book. "I picked it up the other day. I did so enjoy the one you gave me. Maybe you can autograph them somnetime for me? I bland. Shelicked her lips, "I was going to tell you Brain .... I was just about to tell you, in fact, before I went out tonight." "Never mind tonight. Why didn't you tell back when we first met in Texas? I was aware of my angry voice note. "Are you very mad at me? She asked me. "I sure as hell want to be."" I stood up and paced around in front of the couch and chairs. "But every time I look at you...especially in that knockout black dress I glanced at her, then dragged my hand through my hair-well, "I'm just so damn happy to see you again... it's hard to stay angry at you, Olivia , I complained. "Well, that's something," she replied, "Why didn't you tell me? I asked again. "It's something to be proud of. Not to lie about."
" I never lied, exactly," she pointed out. "And as for being proud about it...well, maybe that's just the point."
"What's the point? I still don't follow this convoluted Texas logic, I replied, sounding exasperated. I stood in front of her, staring down her
"I know it's hard to understand," I said finally. I just want you to want me..for me. After everything you said the first night, about how you suspected me of being a fortune hunter and how unsuitable a match I'd be for you..... .."she said . "I said for my brother. Not me," I corrected her.
" Well, you meant yourself, Brian. I knew that much for sure when you kissed me." She reminded me. I sighed. "Go on, I urged her. "I guess it was dumb of me. And immature, I admitted. "But I just wanted you to love me so much that it didn't matter to you if I was without means or had an unsuitable background. Or if there was nothing to say about me that a status-conscious person would find the least bit redeeming, Olivia." concluded in a small voice. "I just wanted you to love me..for me."
I knelt down in front of her and cupped her face in his hands. "Open your eyes, Olivia, I urged her. "Come on," honey.. Slowly she did as I asked. I was looking straight at hers . I stood up, holding her hands , leading her towards the sofa, I made her sat down while I sit besides her. " I 've loved you long before we met again Olivia. I said
"How do you mean," she asked ,looking confused. "I........we 've met before though we don't really know each other then ," she still looked at me confused trying to recalled. "The night my father paid my girlfriend off proven to me that she was with me just for money." I began. I was so broken, that I went to club that night to ease some pain, in the process, I got myself drunk, I booked a hotel suite for that night, I thinking it must be very stupid to drive and crashed myself to death for a bitch, who didn't even care or had atom of feeling towards me. Coming out from bathroom, I noticed a girl on my bed, fully aware that I don't ask for girl that night , I went to dragged her out, instead she attacked me with hot kisses. Feeling hot at same time, maybe because of drinks , I don't know. I kissed her back and had my way with her through the whole night." I stood up and walked towards the window remembering the night vividly. I turned to see her reaction but she just stared blankly at her hand, I turned back and I start looking outside the dark night through the window, I continue. "then, in the morning, feeling the need to see her again, I dropped my number, some note and fifty dollars, though I sorry about the note now. I waited for her to call for months. She didn't, I looked for her for in the same club hoping to bump into her, though I can't remember her face. Hoping I recognise her through her secent. But all in vain." I searched the whole city for the strange girl, but she vanished through thin air." I heard Olivia sobbing; I went to her , I held her shoulder shoulders, " I am really sorry Olivia, I never knew it was you until you told me about the night you....."
"So it's you all this while. " she said through her tear as hot flesh tears rushed down her face. Holding her face against my shoulder, I felt so much pain i couldn't imagine. Not even want my girlfriend left me for money. I allowed her to cried on my shoulder, feeling relieved that she know I was the guy from that night. Noah father she I never thought she would come across again. When her sobbed subside, I held her face and wiping away her tears, I kissed her side cheeks then her mouth I dropped a brief kiss. "I really sorry baby for everything." Thinking that would be angry that I ruled her feature, but instead, She surprised me by saying, "am not really angry at you Brain." It's not you fault partially. I really happy I finally met the father of my boy, and it's happened to be you, life is so mysterious."
" But you're just crying now,"
"No Brian, am only happy the only man I ever loved. Is Naoh real father , you can't imagine, I am very happiness that we had finally met."
