Good Morning My Love

Chapter 18

On Valentine's Day, they put together Tiffany's birthday party.

Trisha walked Tiffany in while covering their eyes. "Can I look now?" Tiffany giggled."

"You can now! "

Tiffany was surprised by all the beautiful decorations for her birthday party. "I can't believe you did all of this for me."

"Best friends celebrate their best friends' birthdays," Kevin smiled.

Tiffany hugged him and Oscar. "Where's Lyle?"

"He's on his way. He was running a bit late today."

"Well, I can't wait to see him. He seems to be coming out of his shell a little bit."

"And so do you," Kevin smiled at Tiffany.

They played games, ate cake, and at the end, Tiffany opened her gifts. Trisha gave Tiffany a beautiful bracelet and from Oscar and Nolan, they got them a beautiful calendar and Kevin and Lyle both gave them journals with their favorite animals on them.

"This was lovely. Thank you, Tiffany kissed Trisha and hugged everyone.

After everyone left, Nolan stayed behind to help Oscar clean up.

"You pull together events so well. I'm surprised you're not an event planner."

"I like being a designer."

"Did Kevin and Lyle tell you about their new jobs?"

"No, what are they doing now?"

"They're advisors for actors and writers. I don't don't recall how they explained it. They told me it was different than being a manager or agent.

"Sounds made up, but Kevin does want to be an actor and I know Lyle told me he wants to be an agent, so maybe this will help them get there," Oscar laughed.

"Maybe, " Oscar kissed Nolan and thanked him for helping clean up."

Nolan's phone rang.

Without meaning to, Oscar looked at the caller ID.

"Who's Clearance?"

"No one."

"Nolan, you're hiding something from me. "

"Oscar, let's not do this tonight, please."

"Why are you so afraid to open up to me?"

"Excuse me? I open up to you all the time!" Nolan shouted.

Oscar sighed. "Then be honest with me right now."

"I'll be honest with you right now. Brutally honest. It's none of your business who Clearance is!" Nolan yelled and ran out the door.

Oscar wiped tears from his eyes and called Kevin and Tiffany and told them what happened.

"Oh, Oscar, we're so sorry but you and Nolan like each other. I'm sure things will be okay. Give him space, okay?"

Oscar nodded and thanked them both and hung up. He took Piper for a walk and his phone buzzed with a few texts from his new boss.

   He would text her back later since it didn't seem important.
