27 Chapter 27 (2/2)
Olivia got out the room and headed for the bedroom and changed into her night attire. She was having a hard time falling asleep. She felt out of place because it seemed as if they had known each other for a long time. It also bothered her that Lucas would be sitting next to her. She tried to rationalize with herself.
Her fear grew, what if Lucas realized that he liked Maya in the relationship type of way. Where would she go? She hoped that he wouldn't realize it too soon.
After waiting for over an hour, Olivia finally gave in to sleep. She roused when she felt the bed sink, and Lucas's arms came around her. She felt warm and safe. He kissed her temple, and with that they went to sleep.
Olivia woke up the next morning to the sun streaming in and got out of bed. She looked to the side and noticed that Lucas was already gone.
She went to the bathroom and showered then got dressed. When she was pleased with her look, she went outside, and her heart sank when she found Lucas and Maya talking by the porch. Bernard wasn't there, and it made her feel more uneasy.
Lucas got up from his chair, and he kissed her cheek. Olivia could swear she saw Mia wince or was it her imagination?
”Good morning.” As he smiled at her.
”Morning.” She replied.
Maya got up and she smiled. ”Morning Olivia.”
”Morning.”
”I didn't want to wake you. You looked peaceful whilst sleeping.” Lucas said.
”It's okay. I am going to go eat.”
”I made some food; your plate is in the microwave.”
”Thanks.”
Olivia turned away and went to the kitchen. She reheated the food and sat by the kitchen counter. She didn't want to disturb them and would feel so much better eating by herself.
A minute later, Lucas walked in. ”Come and sit with us outside.”
Olivia didn't want but she would do it, so that she would make him happy. When she got outside Lucas opened her chair for her and he sat next to her.
Olivia ate her food and listened to Maya telling Lucas what she had been up to for all this time.
”I need to go paint.” Lucas said.
”No problem, I want to catch up with your wife.” Maya said.
”Of, course. I will give you two girl time, so you can get to know each other.” He replied.
Olivia wanted to refuse to be left alone with her, but she held her tongue.
”I will see you later.” Lucas said to Maya.
”Cool.” She replied.
Before he left Lucas leaned down and placed a kiss on her hair.
”I will see you later my love.”
Olivia felt her heart warming,
”Okay.” As she stuttered.
She watched Lucas, until he was out of view. Then she was bought back to reality when she saw Maya was also doing the same thing. Then Maya turned to her.
