Chapter 14

All disclaimers exist

The ladies turned around and walked back into the suite. Olivia turns to her girlfriend and says "whew that was hard."

Natalia took her love into her arms and just held her tightly trying to sooth her girlfriend's fears "honey, she will be ok. I think we can trust Phillip. You and I have both talked with him and he really wants to prove to us that he will be the father he should have always been. He was just waiting for his chance and here it is. And after seeing how he was with her when she jumped into his arms, I don't think we have anything to worry about."

"I know, it's just that this is the first time that we have finally given him a chance…I can't help feeling a little bit nervous is all."

"Understandably so, as I am too. We just have to have faith that he is serious this time because if he screws this up I will kill him myself."

Olivia leans back to look at her girlfriend.

"What, I'm just sayin…don't mess with my family. Two scorned mother's so not going to be a pretty sight."

Olivia laughs and says… "From what I have seen in how you have handled one Frank Cooper in the last 24 hours…I have no doubt sweetheart."

Doris clears her throat…both women forgetting that Doris and Blake were still there; "So would you three be interested in getting something to eat?"

Olivia looks to Natalia and asks "do you feel up to it?"

"Well, I'm not that hungry, but I suppose I should try to eat something like maybe some soup and crackers or something."

"Are you sure" Olivia asked knowing that Natalia was tired but really hadn't eaten anything since breakfast because she had gotten sick this afternoon.

"Yeah, I think I can eat, where do you want to go?"

"I'm thinking we should stay here in the hotel, so we can either order room service or just go down stairs. What do you think?"

"I think we would be ok if we went down stairs" Natalia says.

"Blakey, how about you" Doris asked.

Blake smiled and says "sounds good to me I'm starving." She was happy that she is getting to spend more time with Doris and wondering if Doris finally put two and two together from their conversation earlier.

"Great" Doris said with a smile "shall we?"

"Yep" says Olivia as she reaches for Natalia's hand and she and Natalia smile at each other noticing the shy smiles passing back and forth between Doris and Blake.

The four of them head downstairs for dinner accompanied by not only Doris' body guards but Phillip's men as well.

Once they were inside the restaurant they were seated at Olivia's table on the far side in her half circle booth that was private…but also gave Olivia a full view of everything going on in her restaurant as well as see who is coming and going.

The four of them enjoy their dinner and light conversation. The only mention of the days events is them discussing the details of Olivia's and Natalia's trip in the morning and the plans Olivia has while they are in Florida. She told Doris to call her immediately if anything changes with catching Frank.

"Trust me Olivia, when we catch Frank Cooper I will call you right away and then we will go from there. In the meantime, you two go and have a good time and don't worry about things here."

"That is the plan" Olivia responded to Doris as she looked to Natalia and gave her a flirtatious smile and a wink.

"You're terrible" Natalia says remembering their conversation and actions before Phillip showed up at the door.

"What? You love it and you know it" she whispered into Natalia's ear and then kissed her cheek. "You have been forewarned…just sayin."

Natalia just laughs knowing full well what they both were in for… and truth be told she couldn't wait, but she sure wasn't going to let her girlfriend see her excitement. "Oh you just wait Spencer."

Doris and Blake just sit back and enjoy seeing their friends being happy and soo in love.

They were all done with their dinner and Olivia says "I guess we should turn in for the night, we have a big day tomorrow."

"Yeah" Natalia said in agreement.

"And I have a few things that I need to take care of" Doris says; "Ms. Marler can I walk you to your car" the Mayor asked shyly as the four of them are making their way out of the restaurant.

"I would like that" Blake said.

"Great" says Doris as she turns to Olivia and Natalia "Have a great trip and we will be in touch."

"Thank you" says Natalia.

"Thanks for everything" says Olivia and don't do anything I wouldn't do" she winks at Doris as she is walking into the elevator hand in hand with Natalia.

"Like wise" the Mayor shot back before the elevator door closes.

Doris and her body guards walk Blake to her car. Blake thanked Doris for walking her to her car and she noticed that Doris was acting a little shy or more nervous actually.

"Everything ok" Blake asked.

"Yeah, everything is fine…I um…I had a good time tonight."

Blake knew exactly what Doris meant but she decided to see if Doris would express it a little more with not trying to press her luck. "Yeah I did too…it was nice that the four of us have a civilized dinner together."

Without missing a beat the Mayor piped up "well yeah, that was nice too, but I meant I had a good time with you tonight…"

"I know" Blake cut her off… "I had a good time with you tonight too."

"You did?"

"Mmmhmmm and I think we should do it again sometime."

"Well, I was wondering what you were doing tomorrow night?"

"Mayor Wolfe are you asking me out on a date?"

"Well….uh, yeah I guess I am. So, what do you say; will you have dinner with me tomorrow night?"

"I have to check my schedule… I'm just kidding; I would love too."

Doris let out the breath that she didn't realize she had been holding and sighed with relief; "great, how about I call you tomorrow afternoon?"

"Ok, well have a good night and I'll talk to you tomorrow."

"Ok thank you and you too" Doris said as she opened Blake's car door and gave her a big smile as she closed the door after Blake got in.

Natalia had used the bathroom first and got ready for bed, and once she was done Olivia went and did the same. When Olivia came out of the bathroom she found Natalia sitting on the couch, she went into Emma's room and retrieved her laptop and brought it into the living room and set in down on the coffee table as she slid up to her girlfriend on the couch. "You alright Baby?"

"Yeah, I'm fine…just processing everything from today is all."

"Would you like to see where we are going, maybe it will help you relax a little?"

"Yeah, I think I'd like that."

Olivia retrieved her laptop from off the coffee table and they cuddled up together while she brought up the website for the hotel that they will be staying at.

"It's called The Don CeSar Hotel and it is right on St. Pete Beach. I guess lots of famous people like to stay there when they are in Florida."

"It's pink and it's huge!"

"I know. I have heard nothing but spectacular things about this place, so I am anxious to go and be there with you."

"Wow, Olivia it looks nice and expensive…"

"Honey, don't worry about that… because I am a fellow hotel owner we get a discount which is a perk of the business and then because this is where the seminar is going to be we also get another kind of discount and because this is technically part business therefore it is a business expense it is technically a write off. So please do not worry about how we can afford this. It is all taken care of."

"But Olivia…"

"Ahhht" Olivia said cutting her girlfriend off; "I can't go to this seminar with out my assistant and you need some much needed R&R time so this isn't up for discussion because you ARE going with me. Just think we can hang out on the beach, or we can go parasailing or take a drive up the coast towards Clearwater Beach.

"Well, I've never seen the ocean. I haven't been anywhere but living in Chicago and Springfield."

"All the more reason for you to come with me; and let us have fun together. I want us to have a romantic picnic on the beach and watch the sunset over the ocean. And let me tell you something there is nothing more romantic or beautiful than watching the sunset over the ocean. I want to share this with you Talia. There is nothing I want more than to spend this time with you."

"Awww Olivia, I didn't know you were such a romantic."

"I may be Olivia Freakin Spencer man eating bitch of Springfield, but Natalia honestly you bring out the best in me. The side of me that no one ever knew was there. And because of you sweetheart and everything that we have and what you make me feel, I can most certainly do romantic. I want to spend the rest of my life romancing you."

Trying not to cry, but it was no use a tear trickles down Natalia's cheek she says "how do you always know what to say to make me feel better?"

As Olivia reaches out and wipes away the solo tear coming down her girlfriend's face she says "Honey, that's easy because I know you and I love you and all I want to do is make you happy. You are it for me Natalia and just when I think I couldn't love you more, you take my breath away make me fall even harder."

"I love you too baby and you are it for me. You Olivia Spencer, are my one true love… my one and only. All I want to do is make you happy and I feel it too, just when I think I couldn't love you more you prove me wrong and make me fall even harder.

Now a lone tear is coming down Olivia's cheek and Natalia reaches out cupping Olivia's cheek and with her thumb wipes away the tear and says "I love you so much" as she leans in and kisses her love sealing their confessions with a kiss.

They stay cuddled up to each other on the couch for a while. Then Olivia says "we should continue this in bed because it's getting really late and we have a big day ahead of us tomorrow" as she gets up and reaches out for Natalia to take her hand.

Natalia takes the offered hand as her girlfriend helps her to her feet.

Olivia brings Nat's hand to her mouth and kisses it then leads her over to the bed. They crawl into bed together. Natalia instantly cuddles up to Olivia resting her head on her shoulder.

"I love you" says Olivia.

"And I love you too sweetheart." Natalia says as she lifts her head to kiss her love good night. It was a soft and sensual kiss and then she lays her head back down. They both drift off to sleep within minutes.

Author's note: I wasn't sure where to send our girls so I decided to send them to my old stomping ground as I grew up in Florida and enjoyed much of my childhood and teen years going to the beaches along the Gulf Coast, from St. Pete Beach to Clearwater Beach is so beautiful. I miss the ocean! Any how, the hotel that our girls will be staying at does indeed exist.

It is pink and huge and it is right on St. Pete Beach. I myself have never been in as it is most definitely a luxurious and famous hotel. So that being, said I will embellish a little on the story as far as what exactly does exist in the hotel for this story. After all it is a story, my story and I gain no profits from this story as I do not own the characters or have any affiliation with the Don CeSar Hotel.

For those interested, this is the website that I used to research the hotel and take a virtual tour. Once again I have nothing to do with this hotel accept I always wondered what it would be like to go in there. I am just having a little fun with it being a part of my story.
