"Hello?" he said, picking up the phone.

"Hi Oliver, it's Patrick, from the theater"

"Oh hey, how are you doing?" Oliver asked, wondering why he was calling him.

"I'm fine. Listen, I'm sorry for calling so late but I heard that you were very close to that Durkin girl. I tried to call her but it said that the phone was disconnected so I'm calling you. I would like to ask her if she would be interested in auditioning for the new play I'm producing and directing. I heard she's a good actress but she has rarely been in a play so that's exactly what I'm searching for." Patrick said, sitting at his desk and playing with a pen.

"oh that would be a great opportunity for her. I'll talk to her about it and I'm pretty sure she'll audition" Oliver said, turning to give her a big smile.

"Perfect, I'd like her to come on Monday at around 10am." he said.

"Okay she'll be there. Bye and thank you for her Patrick" he hang up the phone and turned to Loretta.

"What?" she curiously asked.

"You have an audition at the Ambassador Theatre on Monday at 10am for a new play" he said with a big smile.

"Oh my god Oliver! That's in like 2 days, what character am I going to audition for? Do you have the script somewhere? If you do I -" she started to panic as she walked all over the bedroom.

"Slow down, he didn't tell me anything about that so I guess that you don't really have to prepare yourself, he just asked if you could come to audition. And I don't want you to stress yourself too much, you are pregnant now and it would be bad for the baby. Now relax" he said as he made her sit on the bed and started massaging her shoulder.

"Feels good" she moaned at the sensation.

"My massages are so good that I even get a moan?" he teased her.

"Yeah" she said as started closing her eyes.

"Now baby you need to sleep, baby needs its rest and mama too so go put your pajamas on and join me in bed." he said as he stopped massaging her shoulder and gently kissed her neck.

As he waited for her to come back, Oliver took his clothes off and got in bed. He grabbed a book and started reading.

"Are you naked?" she asked with a chuckle as she came with in the bedroom with her pajamas on.

"Come see for yourself" he said, lifting his eyes up from his book.

She immediately did as she was told, got in bed and looked under the covers.

"I'm a bit disappointed you know, I thought you weren't wearing anything." she gave him a disappointed look as she looked up at him.

"I can still take it off" he smirked.

"It's fine, as long as you wrap those arms around me while we sleep" she said as she laid down with her head on his chest and closed her eyes.

"Goodnight baby" he kissed the top of her head and fell asleep with one arm around her and the other on her flat stomach.

The weekend passed by pretty fast as they finished to organize the apartment as they both wanted and the audition was approaching.

"I can't do it, I can't go, I won't get the role" she said in panic mode as she walked in the kitchen where he was preparing breakfast.

"You can do it and you will go. If you don't get the role then it's fine, you'll get another one later" he said as he kept cooking their eggs.
