Olivia sighed she stepped out the shower. She looked up at the clock and saw it was ten minutes to before she had to meet Randy and sighed. She had taken her meds and was really tired but knew if she didn't go she would not hear the end of Randy's mouth. It didn't help that she had not eaten yet today. She quickly got dressed and hurried to the cafe. She was five minutes late.
Randy was talking on his phone with Casey who was not getting the message that they were over. "I told you we are done."
"Why Randy? You know i was playing around."
"You kept having an attitude so we're over. You play by my rules. Don't be mad because I stopped being your sugar daddy as I know you called me."
"I promise I will not have an attitude and not call you that again." She begged.
"Good bye." He hung up and shook his head.
Liv sighed and sat down across from him. She really hope he didn't start today because she wasn't feeling up to it. She had bandaged her hand earlier but took it off so he would not ask too many questions.
"Have you eaten yet?" Randy asked looking at her.
"No." She looked at him. "I'll order something later. Where is RJ?"
He pointed to where Justin sat. "He wanted to give Justin back his hat."
Liv nodded and stood. "I'll get him and go to my room."
"We're waiting on our food." Randy said.
Liv looked at him. "Then I'll come back in twenty to see if he is done."
"Why can't you eat with us?"
"I took my meds Randy. My stomach gets upset and trying to force myself to eat does not always end in the best way." She looked at him.
"If your sick why didn't you just call and tell me I'm not that much of a heartless bastard."
"Well yesterday you said you weren't going to call and if I didn't come you told me to go home. So what was I to fucking think you would say if I called and say I wasn't coming?"
"I understand people getting sick and hurt." Randy said. "Look at where I work."
Liv pinched her nose and leaned back.
"If your sick go to bed I'll bring RJ by when you call me and tell me your feeling better."
"No I want to take him." She looked at him.
"Your not feeling good Liv. Don't fight me on it."
Liv sighed and stood. "If I did you would end up making me feel guilty anyway." She walked away from him and went over to RJ to tell him she would see him later.
Justin looked at her. "You okay?"
Liv shook her head. "Not feeling well. I know I don't look too well."
Justin nodded in understanding. "Need anything I'm headed to the store later."
Liv shook her head once more feeling dizzy. "No thanks but could you walk me back to my room?" She rubbed her head.
He nodded getting up. "RJ go back to your dad your food is here."
RJ nodded and went back over to Randy.
Liv walked out with Justin.
He balanced her as he walked.
"Sorry about making you do this." She fumbled some but caught herself.
"It's fine." He said.
She pulled her key from her pocket and opened her door. "Thanks."
"Your welcome." He said.
Liv looked at him. "I'll talk to you later. Bye." She closed her door and went lay down.
~4 hours later~
Liv slowly woke from her sleep. She was very hungry but glad she didn't feel sick anymore. She saw her phone blinking and reached for it. Saw it was a text from Justin asking if she was fine.
I'm good now just very hungry.
What would you like to eat?
Cookies but for real food...a cheese pizza.
What size?
Large because i can put down alot right now...hey no buying me food. You don't have to do that.
I'm already out getting stuff told you I was going to the store.
Lol, okay.
See you soon.
kk ttyiab
Liv then called Randy. She wanted to tell him that she would not be able to watch RJ tonight but would take him in the morning.
"Yo." Randy said not looking at his caller id.
"Randy its Liv, I'm calling you to let you know I wont be able to take RJ tonight. But I will come get him from you in the morning."
"Okay but to let you know in the morning he's headed with me and the guys to some laser tag arcade place."
Liv nodded. "Well I'll get him from you when you guys get back."
"Alright. Feel better." He hung up and went back to doing what he had done.
Liv put her phone down and went rinse her face and brush her hair down.
Justin went about getting stuff.
Liv flipped through channels munching on candy from her purse. She was hungry but didn't want to order anything since Justin was bringing her pizza.
Justin showed up to her room and knocked on the door.
Liv opened the door and smiled. "Yay the pizza guy is here."
Justin laughed and stepped in.
Liv closed the door behind him. "Thanks again. I would have ordered from room service but I saw your text first."
"Good thing for me." He said laughing.
Liv took the box and looked at him. "Very good thing." She sat down. "You hungry?"
Justin held up his small stack of boxes and a bag. "My food is right here I was about to head to my room and chow down."
"You can stay here. I might see something I want in those bags." She laughed.
"Nope." He said. "My food I don't share."
"Okay stay and I wont touch your food."
"Okay." He sat down.
Liv started to eat her pizza pulling off the cheese to eat it by itself then at the rest of the slice.
Justin opened his stuff.
"So how long have you been with the company?"
"A bit." He said. He started to eat.
"You are not very talkative are you?" She chuckled.
"Only around Anna."
She nodded.
He ate a slice of his meat lover's pizza before eating some cheesy bread and wings.
When he wasn't looking Liv snuck and wing and went back to eating her food.
He looked at her. "That was mine."
"But you bought the cheese pizza for me."
"But these boxes and bags are mine."
"Oh okay. I understand." She took another wing and ate it. "You said the boxes and bags were yours not what was in them."
He rolled his eyes. "The food is mine."
She laughed and stood. "Want something to drink?"
He pulled out his drink which was a one liter coke.
Liv looked at it since it was one of her favorite drinks. "You sharing?"
He pulled out a second one. "Yes."
She sat back down with a big grin. "I didn't want to figure out how to take your soda without you seeing me."
He laughed.
Liv put on a movie that was on SyFi. She continued to eat getting three-fourths the way through it and eating most of Justin's wings before calling it quits due to her being stuffed.
"You ate most of my wings. Meanie."
She poked out her tongue at him. "Learn to share more."
"No I bought it for me you just said you wanted pizza."
"Well next time I'll make sure to order big on you." She laughed picking up the trash.
He shook his head laughing.
After cleaning up, she sat next to him. "So you work tomorrow?"
"Yep." He said.
"What time?"
"I start at eight in the morning."
Liv nodded and bit her lip. "Would you like to catch a early breakfast with me?"
"You think you can do it?"
"Do what?"
"Be awake that early?"
Liv nodded. "Trust me job requires me to be up even earlier sometimes."
"Well I'm getting up at three." Justin said.
"Okay." She said looking at him.
"I'm working out until five so breakfast at six?"
"That's fine. It will give me enough time not to look as bad as I did this morning."
He chuckled. "Alright." He got up.
Liv stood and walked him to the door. "Thanks for staying even when I ate most of the wings." She opened the door.
He smiled. "No problem." He stepped out and looked at her. "By the way you didn't look that bad this morning." He smirked and walked off.
Liv closed the door and laughed to herself. "Yep he was flirting cause I looked like the walking dead." She plopped in her bed to go back to sleep.
~the next morning~
John shook Anna from her sleep.
Anna groaned. "Baby it's bed time."
"Have you seen my black socks?"
She groaned and covered her head. "Why do you need them this early?"
"Because I do. Have you seen them?"
"No." Anna said. She uncovered her head and raised a brow seeing John in a dress shirt and slacks. "What are you doing?"
"Getting dressed." He looked at her.
"But your in a dress shirt and slacks. You never dress like that."
"Umm...I wanted to try something different."
She shrugged it off and cuddled under the covers. "Did you check the top zipper of your suitcase?"
"No." He went check and sure enough the socks where in there.
She went to go back to sleep.
He smiled and kissed her cheek before quickly leaving the room with a bag.
She slowly drifted back to sleep.
Liv sat in the cafe with a bowl of fruit and a large waffle with chocolate chips in it, with bananas, chocolate syrup and whip cream topping it.
Justin laughed as he sat down with his breakfast all healthy looking stuff.
"Oh shush. I like sweets and food that is bad for me. Thank God for my fast metabolism." She continued to eat. She looked at his plate. "Looks...healthy."
"Yep." He said.
She shook head head and ate.
Justin ate and looked around. "So quiet."
Liv chuckled. "For now it is. Knowing my son, he is probably up right now annoying Randy."
Justin shrugged. He saw John and raised a brow. "He's up early and extremely well dressed."
Liv looked over. "I wonder why. Go ask and find out." She looked at Justin.
"Why me?"
"Because you are sitting closer to where he is standing."
Justin rolled his eyes and walked over to John grabbing a mug filling it with coffee. He looked at him. "So why are you dressed up so early in the morning?" He handed John the cup of coffee.
John took it. "No reason."
"I promise I won't tell Anna." Justin said.
"She saw me." John said sipping the coffee, not to let it fall on him.
"But you never get dressed up unless it's for something specific."
"Liv sent you didn't she." John looked at him with a smile. "Tell her I'm not telling because she has a big mouth with things like this."
"Well I'll tell her you didn't tell me but you can anyways."
"Nope, you'll just have to find out like everyone else. Later on." He walked away and out the cafe not to be late for his little meeting.
Justin walked over to Liv. "He said he isn't telling you because you have a big mouth with things like this." He shrugged and sat down to eat.
"Damn it." She looked at Justin. "He is stubborn."
Justin shrugged. "So?"
Liv rolled her eyes at him as she went back to eating.
~12 noon~
John grinned as he walked out the shower and dressed in his regular clothes. He had spent the morning getting things in motion for the surprise he had planned for Anna.
Randy took RJ down to the cafe and stopped seeing Anna laughing at the bar with some guy he had never seen before. He walked over. "Anna whose your friend?"
Anna laughed looking at Randy. "Randy you remember my dad don't you?"
"Oh Mr. Lucas I hardly recongized you."
"Hello Randal. Anna I have to go." He kissed her head and walked out.
Randy looked at Anna. "That's a surprise."
Anna nodded.
Liv walked in and went to the group, picking RJ up and kissing his cheek. "Ready sweetie?"
RJ nodded. Liv had promised to take him to the store.
Randy watched Liv then looked back at Anna. "So why was he here?"
"Said he had business and heard I was in town."
John walked in and went over to Anna and kissed her cheek. "Hey." He nodded at Randy.
"You just missed my dad." Anna said.
Randy nodded then looked at Liv "So what's your plans?"
"Taking him shopping with me. He wanted something from the store." Liv replied.
"Really? Well I'm sure I will see him later." John said.
"Liv stop being a bitch geeze I asked a simple fucking question." He walked past her. "God such a fucking whore sometimes."
Anna looked at Randy's retreating form in shock.
Liv looked at Anna. "What did I say? RJ really wanted to come to the store with me." She handed RJ to Anna. "Watch him for a second." She went after Randy.
RJ looked at Anna. "They are going to fight again?"
"I have no idea buddy."
Randy went towards his room.
Liv pulled on his arm. "What did I do now? All I said was that I was taking him to the store."
He pushed her away. "Don't fucking touch me." He looked at her. "Go away Liv." He went into his room and closed the door.
Liv banged on the door. "NO! You will talk to me now damn it." She knew it would piss him off to not do what he said.
Randy put in earplugs and turned on his iPod.
Liv wasn't going to let it go. She went back to Anna and John. "Can I borrow one of your keys to Randy's room?"
John looked at her. "I'm not sure that is a good idea."
"No I'm tired of this. Its okay for him to do this when I never told him anything. I tried being nice and doing what he asked and I still get cursed out."
"I'm not giving you his key." Anna said. "I'm sorry he's being an ass but I'm not getting involved."
Liv shook her head and took RJ. She needed to get out the hotel for a bit or she would scream. She hoped shopping would get her to calm down.
Anna watched her go and sighed.
John looked at her and rubbed her back. "We will talk to Randy later. This is starting to stress you and you aren't the problem between the two."
"Babe I know Randy. He won't listen." She shook her head. "So why were you all spiffy this morning?"
"I had a meeting." John told her as he looked around and then at her.
"About?"
"I'll tell you later." He said simply.
Anna shrugged. "Okay." She looked at her watch. "Damn I got to go." She paid for the drinks her and her dad had then ran off.
John watched her leave then messed with his phone, ordering a drink at the same time. He looked up with a smile after reading the message sent to him.
Anna ran to her meeting and laughed passing Justin. "Gotta run talk later."
"Okay?" He said kind of confused.
That evening John had sent messages out to everyone to meet him at the restaurant but not telling them why, just for them to dress formal.
Liv put on RJ's shoes as she finished get him ready. She had kept him all day so she would not have to deal with Randy.
Anna looked at John. "So formal?"
John nodded. "Yeah, its going to be a special night." He smiled at her.
"Okay." Anna said going to the bag that had been sent in.
He watched her as he looked up at the clock on the wall the went to grab his shirt to put on.
Anna went into the bathroom and changed.
John finished got dressed and made a few calls.
Anna stepped out in a gray dress that almost touched the floor. It was silk and backless. She had her hair up in slight curls being held up by silver combs.
He smiled over at her. "You look beautiful babe."
She blushed sitting down to put on her shoes and then went to the mirror to put on her jewelry.
John looked at his phone again. "I'll be right back Anna." He walked out the room and talked on the phone.
Liv had RJ zip the last bit of the zipper that she was having trouble with. She stood and looked at her dark green dress and fixed her short hair. She sighed and looked at RJ. "Let's get you to your dad."
RJ took her hand and followed her out the room and down the hall.
Randy whistled to himself as he tied his tie.
Liv sighed and knocked on the door of Randy's room.
Randy fixed his cuff links as he walked to the door and opened it. He looked at her.
Liv let go of RJ's hand as the boy went into the room. "He is going to ride with you. I'm going to be riding with Justin and a few others and there wont be room." She said.
"I've got something to do before I go to the restaurant." Randy said.
Liv looked at him. "I told you I was coming bring him to you." Liv sighed. "I'll see if he can ride with Anna and John. I'll need you to keep him tonight after dinner because I can't."
"I can't either Liv. I have to go to Italy for a radio thing. Hell I won't even be at the dinner long. I sent you my schedule."
Liv pinched her nose. "I didn't read it." She looked at RJ. "Come on we will take a taxi."
RJ went back over to Liv.
Randy clenched his jaw. "You didn't read it?" He asked. He shook his head. He wasn't going to ruin the night for John.
"No I didn't. RJ will just come with me and Justin later, just so you know and wont scream at me tomorrow about not informing you." She took her son's hand and turned to walk away.
Randy growled some. "You should have read my schedule and you are here to be with your son not Justin." He grabbed his stuff.
"You never planned on me being here in the first place. You should have had planned something."
"Oh I did but since you decided to be a bitch and show up where you weren't wanted I canceled it all."
Liv sucked her teeth. "That's it Randy. I'm going to get supervised visits with RJ. I can't deal with your shit. If it means I can only see him 10 minutes then I will take it but I can't be bothered with you anymore."
"You take me to court I'm filing for full custody and you won't be allowed to see him." Randy said looking at her. "Your choice." He kissed RJ's head.
Liv looked at him. "The court will grant me that. I'm not asking for full custody. But you act as if you can dictate what I do."
Randy looked at her. "The court won't grant you anything if they learn what has happened since the day you left and other things. Don't push me Liv. You came here to be with him then your ass needs to focus on him. Good bye." He walked away.
Liv picked up RJ and went to the back of the hotel so she could get some breaths in before she would explode. He would argue when she wasn't there enough for RJ. He would argue when she too fucking involved. What did he want from her? She rubbed her temples.
Anna walked down to the lobby to wait for John. She smiled some.
John came down a few minutes later. "All ready babe?"
She nodded. "Yep." She said taking his hand.
He smiled and led her outside where a stretch limo waited for them. He had really done it all for this night.
"Wow." Anna said looking at the limo.
He chuckled and opened the door for her to get in. Inside had her favorite flowers and some deserts she liked.
Anna looked at it once she was in and then looked at him. "Did I forget our anniversary?"
John laughed. "No Anna. Just enjoy."
She messed with the roses petals.
He watched her. "Something wrong? I didn't get the right ones?"
"Nothing's wrong...I'm just surprised you did this that's all."
"Oh well tonight is a special night. Had to surprise you some."
She moved to sit close beside him and kissed his cheek. "Thank you."
He grinned. "Welcome." He kissed her lips softly as her wrapped his arms around her small waist.
She smiled and relaxed.
He ran a hand through her hair thinking. "So did you talk to your father again today?"
"No he said he was about to go to Spain."
"Spain? For what?"
Anna shrugged.
John shrugged. "Okay."
"So where are we going mister secretive?"
"A nice little place I was referred to by a friend. A couple others will be joining us."
"Who?"
"Someone." He replied.
She rolled her eyes and opened one of the boxes of desserts. "So what's this about?"
"You like those." He said simply.
Anna laughed and picked up one of the small pieces of cake. "I do." She held it up to his lips.
He took a bite of it with a smile.
She smiled and ate the rest.
Randy went into the restaurant and to the space John had reserved.
Liv walked in with RJ and went over to where Justin and a few others sat. She was glad to see her name at a table away from Randy. She placed RJ in a chair and sat next to Justin with smile.
Justin smiled some.
"I'm going to have to cancel for later. I have to watch RJ." She looked at him.
"That's fine cause I was going to have to do the same."
Liv nodded and looked at RJ who was playing with a napkin. She smiled.
Randy leaned back waiting.
John watched as the limo pulled up in front the restaurant and got out holding a hand out to help her out the car.
She smiled taking his hand while getting out.
He led her inside, waving at the group and took her to their table.
She sat down smiling.
John looked at them all. "What?" He grinned after.
Anna shook her head.
"Thank you guys for coming. We are waiting on one more person but they should be here in a few minutes."
Anna looked at John confused. "What's going on?"
Randy chuckled some.
"You will see babe." He waited for Anna's father. The two had met up early that morning since his flight had landed at that time.
Anna rolled her eyes some and looked at the menu.
Anna's father stepped in and looked around.
John looked up and waved him over. "Lucas." He held his hand out to the man.
Anna looked up at him.
Lucas shook his hand. "Hey John." He then smiled at Anna before kissing her cheek.
"Glad you made it." John sat looked at him then at Anna.
Lucas nodded and sat down.
Anna smiled at her dad then looked at John confused. "What's going on?"
John didn't answer, but excused himself for a moment.
Liv watched them curious.
Randy watched.
Anna looked at her dad.
Lucas shrugged some.
John came back and tapped Anna on the shoulder. "Anna?"
Anna turned to look at him. "Yeah babe?"
He took a breath noticing everyone look at him. "Anna I have to tell you something."
"Go ahead." She said.
Lucas smiled some.
"Baby I know we have had some rifts in our relationship but I think overall if has made us stronger and wiser. I know every moment that we have spent together has made me one of the happiest men alive. And I can not think of you not being in my life fully. Baby I love you. Will you marry?" He dropped to one knee, opening the ring box.
Anna looked at the ring then him in complete shock. She didn't think that he would ask her again after everything that had happened before. Her mind was completely blank as what to say.
