Chapter Twelve

I looked at her curiously, "What do you mean?"

She grinned pulling away from the house, "Your energy, your demeanor.. you've shaken him up a little bit"

"And that's a good thing?" I questioned looking out at the flurries of different colored cars as they passed by.

"Oh honey that's a great thing, Oliver always gets the same treatment.. Gold-diggers, Liars, cheaters, users etc."

"He's been through a lot, Oliver is usually professional but when you're around it seems he doesn't know how to react" she said stopping at the red light

"Mrs.Bourne, I don't think we plan on getting in a relationship this is strictly platonic it's just for the business"

I furrowed my brows in confusion when she laughed, "Oh babygirl you're cute, You make my sons world better whether he acts like it or not.. I know him"

"And please call me Octavia.. Mrs.Bourne makes me feel old" I nodded with a grin

"We just got back on the talking stage I-"

"Love, Oliver's doing the best he can to push you away and it's not working— you're killing my baby's ego" she laughed and so did I.

We sat in silence for a moment until the room with his drawings drifted to my mind.
"What's up with him and hearts?"

She stuttered as we parked in front of a fancy cafe, "I- I'd rather let him tell you about it.. but don't ask just yet" I nodded opening the car door.

"Mrs.Bourne, hello the usual?" The man behind he counter asked with a small smile.

"Garrison.. how many times have I told you to call me Octavia" she said pointing a finger at him jokingly.

She was so humble and understanding—she was kind of like the mother I almost-never had.. "and for you miss?"

"Oh, this is Oliver's girlfriend Cecilia" My eyes bulged out of my sockets what the hell was she doing?!

"I-" she bumped my shoulder discreetly, telling me to go with it.

"I'm glad he's found someone after Chloe.. man that was horrible seeing him like that.. anyways what would you like?"

"Uh- I, just a coffee and a cheesecake.. black please and extra sugar packets." I smiled and he nodded

Octavia led me to a seat outside as we both indulged of the heaven at this shop, Marcello's the name stood proudly in cursive golden letters. It was gorgeous.. the dark colors blending perfectly with the gold and greenery.

Octavia's phone began to ring and she answered.. "right now? but I'm having a girls night!" She pouted

I noticed a man behind Octavia was staring shamelessly at us both... this was like the third time he'd switched tables.

"Ugh fine.. be there in an hour" she said with an eye roll. "I'm sorry Cecilia, I got called into a last minute shoot"

I nodded swallowing my last bite of cheesecake, "it's fine really Octavia, I enjoyed your company"

She blew out a breath of relief as we walked away from the venue, "oh god I love you already"

I giggled climbing into the passengers seat, the drive back was pleasant and short chit-chat here and there but what really poked my mind was Oliver's dad.

who was he?

I made eye contact with a silver Mazda, shrugging I knocked on the door, dammit Cecilia get a key!

Oliver opened the door looking extremely attractive, his hair was disheveled— wearing nothing but sweatpants, his eyes seemed blue now.

Then he stepped to the side and Joselyn from the office walked out with a confident smirk on her face.
She swished her hips walking to her car.

I looked at him unsatisfied, "Oliver I need a key"

He only looked at me closing the door, "and I know we're not a real thing but could you not cheat on me if possible?" I sighed plopping on the chair

"Who says I was cheating"

"another girl who's ego was raging when she saw me, your messy hair...not hard to put together Ollie"

"Stop calling me that"

"See you avoided what I said completely!"

He laughed, "She was doing my caseloads for me"

"Look at what you're wearing! you look so..." hot

"exposed.. and your hair.. definitely sex hair!" he deadpanned me.

"Even if I did— it shouldn't bother you we're fake"

My cheeks burned in embarrassment, "yeah, you're right it doesn't.. I don't even know why I said anything"

"Sleep with the whole office I don't care" he rolled his eyes turning his back to me.

"I wasn't kidding about the key" I said and he continued to walk off disappearing from the living room

I groaned closing my eyes curling up on the chair. Not even one second into relaxation my phone was echoing through the room.

Saki-bae💛

"Hello?"

"Hey baby! You Hazel and I are going out tomorrow night at ten.. none of the ifs ands or buts.. dress cute you can't say no. I love you bye"

the line clicked before I could even answer but I couldn't help smile at her english.

Pushing the power button I stared at the picture of my mom, dad, and I. sitting happily at the kitchen counter— I had chocolate smeared all over my face and barely any teeth.

Grinning I looked at the time, 9:39pm

I closed my eyes once more, this time not being disturbed.
