46 Now You Know (1/2)
Olivia hatched a plan with the help of Amy and Robin, so that could fulfill her wish and allow her to take Eli to her mother's resting place.Robin had gotten reliable cleaners to sweep the cottage and was pleasantly surprised that they found no bugs hiding in or around the cottage.
Edmond was going to be the one escorting Olivia and Eli to the cottage.If her father called Robin, he could tell him without feeling guilty that she was properly protected at the cottage.Leaving no room for complaint.
Edmond showed up to the Alegria estate and started packing the trunk for the night.Olivia gave her hugs and kisses goodbye.”Tell your mom we say hi.” Robin said as he gave her one last hug ”You know I will!” she replied before she jumped into the back seat.
”Edmond I owe you for this favor.”Olivia began to say but Edmond cut her off.”For your mom I would do anything you know that.” Edmond said gently.Olivia started to tear up but Edmond had to ruin the moment ”Plus I got Eli to invite Samantha to come along too so it's a win-win for the both of us.”
Olivia narrowed her eyes and pressed her lips tightly together. ”Oh come on princess! Nothing screams romance like a night watching the stars and Samantha hasn't even given me the time of day yet!I need this!I promise to stay away from you guys, I'll just kidnap... cough... gently lead her to a the guest house out back for a better view of the night sky and proclaim my love to her!”Edmond said with stars in his eyes.
Olivia rolled her eyes and sat back into the seat.She then started to grin ”So you're saying you owe Eli another debt?” Edmond slightly jerked the wheel ”I only owe the one!How do I owe two!” he hissed.If there was one thing Edmond hated, it was owing more than one debt to a person.”Well if he wasn't going to see mom with me, would you have a chance to see Samantha?” she askedwith a perky attitude.
”No princess your wrong! I am helping him see you secretly for free!” he proclaimed ”Uh huh... but he persuaded Samantha to come along, she could have said no and guess what happens when you confess and she reciprocates your love.Who will you owe for the opportunity to be together?To be so close to her in your car for 3 whole hours?For leaving her intoxicating scent for your own personal pleasure?” Making sure that every word hit his weak spots.
Edmond stopped, parked the car and turned to look at Olivia, nostrils flaring, sweat rolling down his face and eyes blazing ”Princess you better hope I owe your prince or he may end up as one of my preys when I go out to hunt next!” Olivia gave a dark laugh as she raised her head with pride ”So you admit that your debt will be too big to pay back.”
Edmond clenched his jaw and repositioned himself in front of the wheel.The rest of the car ride they sat in silence, once Olivia saw the estate out her window she decided to talk to Edmond again.”Hey when you get a chance knock her up then she'll be yours forever.” she said with a grin, Edmond jerked the wheel again causing the car to fish tail.
Once he got control of the car again he parked it in front of the steps.He got out of the car, slammed his door shut and opened Olivia's so he could give her a hand out.Olivia took one look at Edmond's blushing face and burst out laughing.
Edmond scratched his cheek, for the first time ever he was at a loss for words. ”Olivia...” he mumbled, Olivia wiped the tears from her eyes and straighten her back up ”Ya?” Edmond hauled her in a bear hug ”I missed you.” he muttered under his breath.Olivia wrapped her arms around Edmond and hugged him back ”I missed you too.”
....
No thanks to Samantha the car ride was excruciating.She was sitting in front passenger seat, facedn in full pout mode and grumpy.”Eli you said it was Olivia's uncle that was driving us!” she wined ”It is.I didn't lie.”Eli laughed with a shrug. ”No he's not!He is the adopted uncle.” she said with an accusing finger.
”Which means her uncle, they may not be blood related but he is one of Olivia's legal guardians, besides when you saw him from the window I didn't hear a word of complaint.Instead you just grabbed your bag and came out anyways.” he said matter of factly.Edmond turned to Samantha and gave her a big grin.Samantha puffed out her cheeks and turned to her window.
