One in a million

Chapter 17

Liana's POV

*The next day*

I sit next to the door, waiting for Nick to be done getting dressed. Im so excited for today!!! We're going to Hollywood studios and i wanna meet captain america so so so bad 

Finally he walks out of his room, all dressed and ready to go

"lets go!" i squeal 

We take a bus to the park and as soon as we walk into the park it is beautiful. 

The designs, the shops, all of it!

We head towards the character meet and greet areas and i see that the line to meet Captain America is short 

"lets go meet him please please please please"

Nick laughs softly "ok sure" 

We go and stand in line and not even 10 minutes later, we're meeting Captain America 

"well hello there" he greets as we walk next to him 

"hi" i say with a big grin and wave 

Nick just nods 

We take several pictures and engage in some small talk. Then something kinda weird happens. 

"Whats a beautiful lady like you doing with a guy like this, hm?" he whispers into my ear as i was hugging him goodbye 

"um... what do you mean?" i pull away and look back at nick. He's at the door and on his phone.

"Im just saying, he's only in it for your body. He doesnt look like he cares, is all" i stand there silently. 

"Here" Cap hands me a card with a phone # on it "call me tonight and ill show you what caring really is" he winks and then goes on to the next kid in line, leaving me quiet and flustered

As we walk out im silent as a mouse

"Hey whats on your mind?" 

Dazed, i say "just take me home" 

Confused, Nick leads me out of the park and to the hotel room. All the while im quiet and thinking. Does he not really care? If some random guy thinks that, it must be obvious to everyone but me. Just great, ive fallen in love with a man who doesnt feel the same way. 

I pack my bags and wait. 

Nick walks out with his bag in his hand and reaches out to take me hand with his free one. But i walk faster out of the door so he doesnt. 

*an hour or 2 later*

We board the plan for our flight and i get the window seat. Perfect, i can look out the window and ignore Nick. I just need to think. 

I get situated and comfortable when nick asks "lia, whats wrong? You've been so quiet and im worried"

I scoff at him saying he was worried "ya im fine"

We spend the rest of the flight in silence. 

As soon as we reach LA i grab my bag and rush to a cab. When i get into the cab i give him my address and he takes off, leaving Nick behind. 

My phone buzzes right after i took a momentary breath of relief

Nick: Liana?? Did you just take off without me???

Lia: ya, whats it to you?

Nick: i just.... Never mind. 

Nick: ill see you at work on Monday. 

Oh thats right, work. Something crosses my mind and i know what i have to do. 

I get home and  rush in, throwing  my bags on the ground in the process. I then go to my laptop and open Gmail. 

I start to type

To: Nicolas Blackwell

Subject: Resigntation

Dear Mr. Blackwell, Nick , 
thank you for helping me realize what i truly wanted to do with my life. I realize, now, that working for you is not in the best interest of my future. My deepest apologies. As of now and of this email, i am no longer employed by you or your company. I will not need to come clean out my office, for most of the stuff in it is in fact yours. 

Sincerely

      Liana Berry
