This Kiss

Chapter 50

Today was becoming a very long day for Natalia. What she had hoped would be a happy reunion with her family, was turning out to be a huge a mess. She knew Olivia was going to be upset, she had thought that the letters would at least help her not to feel completely abandoned, however, she was baffled by the fact that Olivia hadn't received them. Now she had a mess to clean up and nobody but herself to blame. However, Olivia needed some space at the moment and she still had things to do. Next stop was Frank. She wanted to warn him of the conversation she was going to have with Rafe so he wouldn't be blindsided if Rafe went home upset afterwards.

Pulling herself together after Olivia walked away, she pulled out her phone and dialed Frank. "Hi Frank. It's Natalia."

"Hello Natalia. Welcome home."

"I need to talk to you. Can you meet me at your place?"

"Sure. Absolutely I can meet you at my place. Yeah."

"When?"

"I'll uh, I'll leave now, I'll see you then."

Natalia was leaning against her car in front of Franks apartment when he walked up. "Whoa, you little speed demon, you beat me." He said chuckling.

Natalia smiled. "I uh, I need to talk to you."

"Okay. Do you uh, do you wanna sit down?"

"I'm fine."

"Okay."

Josh was just getting out of the shower when a knock sounded at his door. He answered in nothing but a towel. Olivia walked in wrapping her arms around his shoulders. "You, me, sex, now." She all but demanded as she pressed her lips to his."

Frank stood face to face with Natalia. "You're back."

"Yeah. I just got back, earlier today."

"Are you uh, are you happy about it?"

"Yes. It's good to be home. I wish my house wasn't empty, but that's okay. I'm working on it."

"Yeah uh, I heard Olivia moved out shortly after you left."

"Yeah, she did. It's okay though. But that's not why I'm here."

Olivia had Josh pinned to the wall biting on his bottom lip. "Now." She demanded.

"Okay, so we're actually gonna do this, this time."

"Uh-huh, and I want it to take a very long time."

"Okay. Well, I have some time. I just got an appointment." Olivia bit his lip harder. "Owe."

"Oops, I don't wanna hurt you." She kissed down his neck.

"Oh no, that's okay. You can hurt me."

"Just make me forget." She took off her shirt.

"Okay." He said laughing.

"That I'm still in love with Natalia."

"I'm sorry what? Did you just, you're in, uh."

"Didn't I mention that?"

Josh couldn't do this. He cared for Olivia too much. He forced them apart and handed Olivia her shirt. Olivia sat on the floor against the bed and Josh plopped down on the mattress. "So, you and uh, Natalia. You went from hating each other to..."

"Ain't love grand?"

"Wow."

"We both fought it for a really long time."

"How long?"

"I don't know, maybe since Gus."

"Oh. I see."
