127 The Meetings of The Minds (1/2)

Olivia's jaw dropped. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. ”Surprised princess?” Edmond said as he released a very confused Marek from his embrace. ”Yes!” Edmond started laughing as he pulled up a chair. ”Honestly you saved me the trouble of trying to figure out how to tell you without sounding crazy! Who knew you were trying to track us down?!”

”No... I mean, I kinda was looking for Vaidehi... Don't get me wrong, I was kinda curious to see who you were now but... men? Sakura did give me a hint but... I... men!” Olivia said as she tried to wrap her brain around the idea. ”That's right princess, why so surprised?! We wished it hard enough to be able to protect Sakura in the next life it just worked out that we are protecting her great-great-great-grandchild. Hey now don't give me kind of look I know there are a lot of greats left out and I ain't correcting myself!” Edmond said in a huff but still kept that playful mischievous twinkle in his eyes.

”Marek do you remember anything from your past life?” Olivia said with anticipation. Marek looked at the two and had the urge to back away but Edmond was too quick and placed his hand on top of his shoulder, keeping him firmly in place. ”Sorry princess he and Vaidehi won't remember a thing. I'm actually surprised he even feels he's forgotten something.”

Olivia deflated and gave Edmond a side glance. ”How do you explain your memory recovery then?” Edmond gave her a toothy grin and wrapped his arm around Marek's shoulder as he sat down beside him. ”She came to me while I was comatose. Found out a lot of interesting facts about my past self and how my beloved Samantha is actually Earie reincarnated. Honestly what a beautiful love story I wished to be a male, he wished to bare my children... just fantastic!”

Marek started to sweat as the seconds passed by. Olivia sighed and made Edmond take his arm off of Marek's shoulders. ”Marek don't mind us we aren't crazy, we... are just talking about things you don't know and that's fine. I'm just glad your living the life you wanted.” Olivia said sincerely. Marek tensed up, part of him wanted run as far away from these people as soon as possible but the other part compelled him to stay.

”No... I will stay.” Marek mumbled as he dropped his gaze to the ground. Edmond pulled him into another embrace. ”My sweet... Marek your just as wonderful as before!” Edmond said cheerfully. ”So can you catch me up on everything?” Marek said in a strained tone. ”Holy friggin' cheese Marek you want in on our little circle?!” Edmond said as he finally let go of him. ”Even though it could be somewhat unbelievable?” Olivia said as she reached out and grabbed his hand. Marek nodded his head. ”I will choose what to believe in and I want to believe in the two of you.”

”Alright, it's like this.” Olivia started.

....

Marek started pacing the room as he tried to take the new information. He would stop every once in a while, mumbled something and then go back to pacing. ”Marek you know it doesn't matter if you believe us, it won't hurt my feelings. I just need to complete this mission as soon as possible or else the curse passes along to my little ones.”

Marek agonized over everything in his head and slumped down onto the floor. He crossed his legs and drummed his fingers on his knee. ”So let's say I believe every word you just told me and let's say hypothetically I have seen blips of what you just told me in my dreams... How can I even help you find Vaidehi? What is the point in tracking us down if Sakura has already told you that you have accomplished parts 1 and 2 of your goal?”

Olivia bite down on her lip and fiddled with her fingers. ”Honestly I don't know... I kinda hoped that you guys would have some kind of clues to who Vaidehi was - I mean, who she is now. Rather then me guessing alone.”

Marek sighed as he scratched the back of his head. ”Eli knows everything doesn't he?” Olivia groaned as she dramatically laid back down onto the bed. ”Of course he does but I have no idea what he thinks about it all or even if he truly believes me! Right now everyone's hands are full with Agni and I can't pull them into this. I guarantee you that the ones who know about this think I'm crazy, oops sorry except you Edmond.”

Edmond stretched himself out as he yawned. ”Honestly I think it would be better if we just killed Agni, Falicia or whatever the f*ck her real name is.” Olivia shook her head. ”Justice needs to prevail, we need to believe we are doing the right thing and that we can unmask her successfully.” Edmond rolled his eyes. ”Who cares, she has the police in her pocket, she has the media wrapped around her finger and most importantly she is a complete sociopath. Dead, alive, rotting in a cell or rotting in hell, could careless. I just want her to suffer and have her blood splatter the pavement... Besides they've kept you out of their plans so can you really say your getting justice?”

Olivia felt the sting of Edmond's words and decided to become silent. ”Aww come on princess, you can't be that upset. I mean ya they are making her suffer in their own way and it's quite admirable but at the end of the day she killed my family and she will need to pay with her blood.”

”....”

”....”

”....”

”Fine we let them handle it.” Edmond said with a pout. ”Good. So any ideas on how to find Vaidehi?” She asked the guys, looking hopeful. ”It's not like you can put an ad in the paper. Why not just focus on getting through this day, we are not sure what Agni has planned yet and you need that anklet off before you start searching.” Marek said as he peeled himself off the floor. Olivia dropped her gaze and went into deep thought. ”Alright enough of that I'm starved, what do you guys wanna eat? My treat, I'll go grab it and come right back.”

Olivia came back to reality and looked at Edmond, they both grinned at one another. Ready to take advantage. ”Can it be anything?” Edmond asked playfully. ”Ya sure.” Marek answered suspiciously as he raised an eyebrow. ”Burgers! Lots and lots of burgers! With bacon and everything! Onion rings with mustard and poutine! A real poutine though not that fake crap with shredded cheese, gotta be cheese curds and dark gravy!” Olivia started ranting as saliva started to pool in her mouth.

”Different types of burgers too! I wanna see fish, chicken, lamb.” Edmond started to list meats off but Olivia could barely hold in her excitement. ”Oh yes lamb! I want lamb! I never had a lamb burger before but yes!” Marek was momentarily stunned by the two that he forgot to breathe. When he finally came back to senses he couldn't help but double over and laugh. ”Alright, alright! So I'm gonna get this delivered instead, forget me leaving! I won't have enough arms to bring this all back!”

After 20 minutes, the three finally had their order set up in Marek's food delivery app. ”Wait! Are you even allowed to have this kind of food?” Marek asked as his finger hovered over the complete order button. ”Who f*cking cares! The woman is pregnant and she needs her food!” Edmond said as he snatched the phone away and completed the order.

”Besides after what happened yesterday do you even think she's going to trust the people who give her food here? Unless your willing to take a bite of everything for her to make sure it's fine, be my guest! That is... if your able to pry it out of her hands.” He said as he used his thumb to point behind him. Marek looked over and saw that Olivia's mind had started to wonder as she hugged her pillow. She looked completely happy with the world. ”Nope.” Marek said as he looked back at Edmond. ”Good call.”
