DAVION.I tried to stifle my laugh when she closed her eyes. She must have thought that I wanted to kiss her. I mean, I do. I would give anything in the world to have a taste of those lush, plump lips and in a very sober mood this time around. Her eyelash settled perfectly to frame her face and I took my time to admire the beauty standing in front of me. The last time I did have a taste, we were both drunk and neither of us were able to savor the moment properly.I would give anything to go back to that day and I would give anything to have warned myself not a take a drink or get drunk because I would be meeting Olivia but I didn't and besides, wishes weren't horses that we could ride.They were merely a fiction of our imagination. Plus, everything definitely happens for a reason. If I had been in the right frame of mind, I probably would not do anything to hurt Olivia. I knew that no matter what happens, I wouldn't be able to get intimate with her because I wasn't that type of perso
DAVION.I made my way outside the company's building with Olivia trailing a few feet behind me. I had no idea why she chose to stay that far away when we were literally going towards the same direction. I think it's because maybe, she doesn't want anyone spotting us together.She had always talked about how much she hated this place and how nosy the people were so it's only given that she tries to stay away from them as much as possible.We arrived at the parking lot and I opened up the door for her. She got in immediately and I shut the door after her before taking the wheel. Once seated, I started the ignition and pulled out of the building.The ride to her house was quiet and I couldn't help but wonder why? Olivia was never the one to keep quiet about anything. She always said something and made sure to give me an earful at the slightest so I don't know why she was suddenly quiet.Was she still feeling shy about what had happened earlier? Or was it my imagination playing tricks on
OLIVIA.When Davion had told me that he had a surprise for me, I couldn't believe it at first. I wasn't the one that was too keen on surprises and so, it piqued my interest. What exactly was the surprise that he was so excited to share with me?And when he had given me the envelope, I couldn't help but rack my brain on what it was about but when I opened it, I received the greatest shock of my life.There it was. Pictures of my mother fully awake on her hospital bed stacked up and embedded there. Davion had taken pictures of her secretly when she woke up and had brought them for me."She..." Words failed me to convey the emotions that I was actually feeling inside. "She's awake?" My voice choked with emotions as I felt the tear stray down my cheeks. "When? How did this happen? Why didn't the hospital call me?""Because I told them not to. I wanted to give you the good news myself and besides, I wanted to be the first to se that look on your face while I broke down the news to you as
OLIVIA."Tell me everything that had happened dear." Mom cajoled me. I was seated on the side of her hospital bed. Her hands were firmly held in mine and judging by how strong they were, I could tell that she was okay and getting better. Even her pale skin had added a little bit of color and she looked more alive than ever. I loved that she was okay. I loved that I got to see her like this. It means so much to me. "I've missed out so much that I think that I've been jetlagged." She laughed but I could see the pain through her eyes. She was hurt that she had been admitted here all her life.Mom was the type of person who loved fun. She loved to hang out and she was a sucker for romance and everything that would put a smile on her face. She loved being adventurous. She loved to travel and take the world under her feet. That's why when the news of her being diagnosed with cancer came into light, she couldn't bear it at all. It was like a piece of her had been removed and buried. Not to
OLIVIA."I can't wait to be discharged from this hospital. I'll feel so much at peace when I leave this shithole." Mom cussed and I couldn't help but laugh."Language mama. We're in a hospital." I hushed her like a child but she only smiled. We had been discussing non stop and for the first time in ages, I feel a lot lighter than I have ever felt in my entire life. It was like a new me had been reborn and I couldn't help the sudden rush of adrenaline in my veins at the moment. Everything was slowly falling into place. Clinton thought that he had me in a bind when he had refused to treat mother but I can't wait to see the look on his face when he realizes that she is very much alive and well."You don't think I know that. It feels so good to cuss out once in a while and I feel so extremely happy about it.""Judging by the happy smile on your face, I can tell that you do. It's showing. Just look at how much you're glowing." I teased and she laughed at my efforts of trying to be funny.
DAVION.I stepped into the ward just in time to hear Olivia backlashing me. At first I stopped to listen because I had found it funny that she would even address me in such manner in which I never expected her to.When we arrived at her mother's door, that's when it hit me that I had come empty handed on my first visit to see her. I was supposed to get something at least. It shows that I was being thoughtful and pretty much respectful. Besides, I would do anything to get on Olivia mom's good side. If she vounched for me then it would definitely make a lot of sense in getting her to like me.And that was the reason why I had left without informing her only to come back to the fact that I was now the center of the topic. It felt nice to know that she was talking about me. She never does that and most times, it left me wondering if she indeed sees me as a man or not.Stealthily, I walked into the ward and her mother spotted me. I signalled her to not say a word and to let Olivia continu
DAVION.Olivia watched as I fed her mother. I know that she wasn't happy with it but I couldn't do anything about it. Her mother had specifically chosen me to feed her and I had simply obliged to the request made by her. It wasn't my fault that I was the chosen one now."I really want to go home." She whined. "It'll be better taking care of myself at home than being cooped up here.""Mom, we've already talked about this. You can't leave. The doctor won't let you because you're not properly healed yet don't you see." Olivia tried to explain but her mother only sucked up like a child. Now I could definitely see the resemblance."I know but still, it wouldn't hurt to hope.""You're sick mom and besides Olivia is right." I chirped in. "You still have to go through a full evaluation and until we're given a go ahead by the doctors to discharge you, we really can't do anything to help you.""You call her mom now?" Olivia asked in surprise."Is that the only thing you heard in all my speech?
DAVION."Did I keep you waiting for long?" I asked as soon as I approached Olivia leaned on the body of my car as she waited for me. She shifted her feet uncomfortably and I could tell that they were sore from standing too long. She had been wearing heels all morning and I scared that her feet might've been hurt too.She shook her head no with a tired smile when she saw me walking up to her. "You didn't. I don't mind actually.""I'm sorry if I did. I just needed to sort some issues out with the hospital before we left." I explained, hoping that she would see reasons and not get upset if she already was."It's okay Davion. I'm fine really" She assured me. Her shoulders lifted up slightly in sheer happiness. "I actually haven't felt so good in a while. I didn't even realize that you were still inside and besides, you didn't take long so don't beat yourself up about it.""Alright. Let's go?" I asked and she nodded yes. It was already night time and the only bright lights coming from out
