Maybe This Time

Chapter 7

Y/N's POV

I wake up when I feel something, more like someone on my chest. The open my eyes and immediately close them because of the blinding sunray. I blink until my eyes could adjust to my surroundings. I saw sa naked woman beside me. I panic and look at her once more, then the memory of yesterday's event flashed to my mind.

I heard her slightly snoring, I carefully detach myself from her, get my clothes scattered around the floor. I proceed to the kitchen to make her breakfast.

I don't know what she likes so I decided to make her pancakes with bacon bites and a good coffee. As I make the batter of the pancake, I feel a pair of hands on my waist. Deja vu. "Good morning" she greets. I smiled, "good morning too, did you sleep well?" I inquire and check on her. "Yeah, just a bit sore down there," she said and I chuckled. "Did I get too far? Did I hurt you?" I ask. She shook her head, "no you didn't hurt me" I sigh in relief.

I assist her to sit down, I give her the food and we eat enjoying each other's presence. "Are you from New York?" I ask her. She nods while chewing her food. "And you're from LA, right?" She asks. "I originally live here but I left for some reason," I said. "You can talk to me if you want" she offers. "Thank you, I appreciate that"

I help her to get into a shower since her legs are a bit shaky. Yup, I went too far. I give her a pair of my clothes. We exchange numbers. I give her a ride to her home. "We still see each other right?" She asks putting her seat belts on. "Of course, just text me," I said, making sure that her belts are on and tight. I start the engine and drove.

"How long have you been single?" She asks. I scrunch my forehead and think, "more like 6 years, but I do have flings right then and there but it didn't get serious because of my work. My job comes first and im not ready for commitment" I said. "Wow, that's long, can I ask why?" She asks again. I didn't mind her if she ask. I'm more comfortable with her. "Because of my past relationship, I know to myself that I didn't move on, I just run away from her, to hide and never looking back at this place." She nods and didn't ask for more.

"How about you?" I ask her. "My partner cheated on me," she said, I can see the pain in her brown eyes. She didn't deserve that. No one did. "That bastard," I said she just chuckle at me.

As the ride goes by, we talk a lot. Our likes and dislikes. She likes cookies and cream, while I like dark chocolate. She loves to stay up all night and watch the star. She likes coffee too but with caramel. Her first choice should be neuro but she shifts because she loves the thrill and danger in the ER. She loves cuddles and so am I. She rarely drinks, is family-oriented, I can't wait to meet her family.

I like her smile, it brightens my day and gives me more motivation to move on. Her bubbly side and warmth personally attract my dark and twisty side. I just wish that she stay with me.

"Call me if you need anything and if something happens, you have my number," I said to her. "Yes, ma'am," she said and gave me a salute. I shook my head. Before I leave I kiss her on the cheeks. I could see her blushed cheeks. I giggle at her. "Shoosh. Don't make me put you inside" I smirk at her, "inside of what? House or yours?" I asked her. She gasps from what I said, "don't tempt me" she warned me. "I'm not. I'm just asking. You know you have to be more specific." I tease her.

"What if I want both?" She challenges me. I walk towards her "good choice, darling." Only inches away from each other's faces. "Can I come in?" I ask emphasizing the word come. Her breath hitched and gulp. I'm staring at her eyes and grin. "Stop seducing me" she whined. "Okay, your lost," I said and walk back to my car. I wave my hands and get into my car.

I'm now at the park and roaming around. I called Jane and update her on what happened after staying here for 3 days now. I didn't tell her I get laid because she's going to tease me-

"Do you do dates there?" She asked. Like what I've said. "No, I'm busy here," I said while walking. "Why do I sense that as a lie?" She mumbled. Damn it, this bitch knows everything, when I mean everything. It's everything. "It's up to you if you want to believe it or not"

As I walk a bump into someone, again. I look down and it's a little girl. Shes crying, probably she's lost. "I have to go, I call you back," I said I didn't wait for the reply and ended the call. I bend down to her height. "Hi there little one, where are you, mom?" I ask her. Shes a bit hesitant to say anything, "it's fine, I won't hurt you" I said. She hugged me and cry. Her hug is very familiar to me, it makes my heart beat so fast. I feel something that I can't even explain.

"It's okay, I won't hurt you. I'll never do that" I said and caress her back. I wipe her tears and help her to breathe since she's having a panic attack. "What's your name, sweetheart?" I asked her. "O-Olivia," she said. I smiled at her. "Okay, Olivia, are you with your parents?" I asked her she shook her head, "im with Riley, my babysitter" she said. I carry her, "let's go find Riley," I said and she nods eagerly. I don't know about this child but I feel something about her, she reminds me of someone.

"Do you have name tags in you or a number so if you got lost you just have to give it to the officers?" I ask her, "I don't know," she said. "It's okay, we can find her," I said.

We roam the park, I even announced to the officers that are here to alert us if they saw a lady who's looking for a girl. Shes sucked her thumb, "are you thirsty?" I inquire her, she shyly nods. We go to the nearest vending machine and get water for her. I open the lid and assist her to drink.

We're still clueless about where her babysitter is. She's already sleeping on my shoulder. Until a woman came. "Thank God, Olivia," she said and rushed towards our direction. "Thank you so much, Maam. I don't know what to do if I lost her. Her mother gonna murder me" she said I chuckled and give Olivia to her. But to my surprise, she didn't want to let me go.

"Hey, bubs. Riley is here" I said gently waking her. "No, I don't want you to go" she whined and pushed herself towards me. Oh shit. "But how about Riley?" I convince her more. "No, please mama, stay," she said. I was taken aback by what she said. My heart beats erratically, a sense of joy and happiness burst into my body, I don't know why I feel this. "Okay, sweetheart. I won't go" I said.

"You can take my car, can you drive?" I ask Riley. She nodded her head, I handed her my keys. I thank all of the officers for their help. Riley starts the car and im in the backseat with Olivia. I already love this kid. The ride was smooth, Olivia didn't wake up.

Riley let me into the house, it's a huge house. I followed her to Olivia's room. I carefully placed her in her bed, I wait for 10 minutes just to secure if she's into a deep slumber. As I caress her hair, there warm in my heart melting my cold heart. I smiled while looking at her. I do want kids, but sadly fate didn't agree.

I kissed her forehead and slowly walk out of the room. "Thank you again," Riley said. "Your welcome. I have to go. If she asks for me, just give her food and tell me it's from me to calm her down" I said. She nods and escorts me to the exit door.

I glance at the house once more and get inside my car. I want to meet that kid again. There's something about her, I just want to play and make her laugh. It's maybe a maternal instinct? Though I have something inside my pants.

I drove my way back to my house when Lucas called me. "What happened?" I heard a loud bang in the background, and he's crying. "I'm on my way," I said a quicky u-turn. I speed up my car, if I can make this car fly, I already do it.

Not my friends, morons. Not them.

_________

Y/N meets Olivia. Would she now meet Scarlett? Would I do that? As I should.

But not that quick, babes. They have to go through something. :))
