Chapter 4
Livy walked into the living room and sat on the couch and set down her luggage near her. Ray sat next to her.
"So where will I be sleeping Ray?" Livy asked.
"You will be staying with me if it's ok with you." Ray said while he hoped she would say yes.
"Yea, it's ok. Can you show me where your room is so I can put my clothes away and change into something more comfortable?" Livy asked.
"Of course, follow me." Ray said as he got up and held his hand out for Livy.
Livy took his hand and he pulled her up and entwined their hands together and ignoring the surprised look that that Livy gave him and walked upstairs to his bedroom.
"I have three guest rooms, three guest bedrooms that are attached to those rooms, a hot tub outside on the patio, and a huge in ground swimming pool in the back yard. Also a fire pit where we can have a fire later if you want." Ray asked. "I have the master bedroom and it has its own master bathroom and a walk-in closet, which I don't ever use so you can use it."
They reached his room and went inside after he opened the door for Livy to go inside. Livy was at awe of the room. The bed was a King size, a huge walk-in closet, and a large master bathroom.
"Damn, I must be in heaven." Livy thought.
"You can put your clothes in the closet on the other side of my small section of clothes. I use the dresser for my underwear and socks, so you can do the same. Take a shower, if you would like. While, I go downstairs making food. What would you like to eat?" Ray asked.
"Surprise me." Livy said.
"Ok, I'll order a pizza. Any choice of toppings? Any Wings? Any other side dishes?" Ray asked.
"Just pepperoni please." Livy said.
"Ok coming right up." Ray said as he left the room and went downstairs to order the pizza.
Livy unpacked her suitcases and moved her clothes into the walk-in closet. She put her panties and socks in one of Ray's unused drawers. She grabbed a pair of panties, a pair of her of her yoga shorts, and yoga bra and went into the bathroom and got into the shower. Livy always preferred to get a shower before doing yoga.
25 minutes later, Livy got out of the shower and put on her clothes. Livy grabbed her yoga mat from one of her suitcases and went downstairs. Ray saw her from the kitchen.
"Livy the pizza won't be here for another 30 minutes or so, you can watch TV or do whatever. I gotta do my dishes." Ray said.
"Ok. I'm going to do some yoga before I text Mo." Livy said.
"Ok." Ray said.
Livy placed her mat on the living room floor and took out her phone and texted Mo.
To: Mo
From: Livy
Hey, has Wen showed up yet?
To: Livy
From: Mo
Oh yeah, he did. He asked where you were and if we have seen you. He acted nervous but yet calm. He said all of your stuff was gone. He even acted like he didn't even care about you anymore.
To: Mo
From: Livy
Does he know where Ray lives? What about Jules? Does she know where Ray lives? What did Stella do?
To: Livy
From: Mo
Charlie and Stella left after she gave him a dirty look and a few choice words. He only became nervous after Stella said those words to him. Wens face was totally priceless. I'm in the kitchen eating my daily snack. No I don't think Wen knows where Ray lives and Jules has his old address. He moved to be closer to Scott and to the nearest soccer park.
To: Mo
From: Livy
Oh. Thank goodness. I bet Stella felt good about saying those words to him and I totally would have laughed at his face.
To: Livy
From: Mo
He just left. He said he had somewhere to be. He probably went to see her. I'm tired so I'm going to go lay down. I will talk to you later.
To: Mo
From: Livy
Okie dokie. Ray just got done with dinner so I will see you later.
Livy put her phone away and smelled the pizza that was being cooked in the air. She got up off of the couch and went into the kitchen where Ray was just getting the pizza out of the oven and sat at the kitchen table.
"How many slices do you want Livy?" Ray asked as he sliced the pizza with the pizza cutter.
"I will take two slices please." Livy said as Ray handed her a plate with two slices on it. Ray took two slices as well and sat next to Livy at the kitchen table. They began their peaceful dinner without any interruptions.
"After dinner, we should watch a movie." Ray suggested.
"I agree. We can watch "Jack the Giant Slayer". The cashier recommended it. He said it was pretty good.
"Ok. Sounds good to me. I don't have it so I'm hoping you have it?" Ray asked as he picked up their plates.
"As a matter of fact I do. It's upstairs in one of the bags I brought with me. Would mind getting it. I will wash the dishes." Livy said.
"Of course." Ray said as he left the kitchen and went into his room where Livy's bags were. He also snuck a look in her other bags and blushed red in the face. He ran back down to the living room where Livy was and she was sitting on the couch. She got done washing the dishes.
"You ready to watch the movie Livy?" Ray asked as he popped the movie into the DVD player.
"You bet I am." Livy said.
