He wasn't fine with it at all, it was clear on his face. I let it slide, we will see what would happen or not between us in the future. I went home not long after our talk, I didn't want to get so close to him like I did before. I needed to keep some distance. He seemed disappointed and I told him that I needed some errands to run. He didn't believe me but let it slide, he hugged me tight and gave me a lingering kiss on my cheek.
The next couple of days I worked a bit harder so that I could be more present for Ivy. She and Mia spent the day in some sort of farm camp. Wednesday evening, I passed by Justin and Ivy's place, and he showed me around the house, explained how everything worked and Ivy's routine.
*****
Thursday (August 12) Justin had dropped Ivy off at her camp this morning and I was now on my way to pick her up. She looked at me and came running up to me and jumped in my arms. "How was your day, Ivy?" I asked her.
"Great, we helped feeding."
"What kind of animals did you feed?"
"Chickens, goats, pigs and a cat."
"That's nice. Ready to go home?" I asked her.
"Yes."
Babysitting Ivy was like a little party. Friday, I picked her back up and we went to the grocery store after we had decided what we wanted to eat this weekend. "Can I invited someone over this weekend Rose?" She asked when we were back home.
"Uh, who do you want to invite?"
"Mia and Olive?"
I nodded because I liked that idea. "I give them a call."
And that's how we spent the rest of the weekend with the four off us. Mia and Ivy were playing together while Olive and I spent time together.
"I love this house." Olive said after I had showed her around and we took a seat outside.
"Me too, so close to the beach. This would be a dream come through. I would get up early every day and go surfing before work."
Olive laughed and took a sip of her tea. We sat on the terrace where we could keep an eye on the girls.
"How are you, Olive?" I asked her.
"Good a bit better, I'm glad that I told you. Some days I'm fine, others not so much." she shrugged.
"Have you heard from him after you left?"
"2 days after I left him yes, he called me. Demanded to come back. He even treated me with a lawsuit."
"Really?"
She nodded "I called my lawyer, and we went together to his parents. They were surprised to see me. After I told them everything that happened, they were very quiet. Then they offered me money to keep quiet. I hadn't the impression they believed me."
