Teach Me Too Love You

Chapter 4

Liv and Zach arrive in Italy later that night. Fitz taking his private jet arrived much earlier. His plan had been set. He now knew what hotel Liv would be staying at. He figured tomorrow being her birthday would be the perfect opportunity and his chance to meet the woman of his dreams and make her his.

After checking in Liv and Zach headed down to the pool party that was already taking place. Zach being the opportunist immediately found a couple sitting in one of the cabana's headed in their direction pulling Liv with him.

"Hello do you guys mind if we join you? It's my girls' birthday weekend and we really don't know anyone because we're tourist?"

Liv is hesitant and embarrassed at his blatant behavior but since the couple agreed she goes with it. Zach wastes no time ordering drinks and becoming the loud annoying asshole she's become somewhat tired of. He's acting as if he's known this guy Gary all of his life. Gary's girlfriend sits next to Liv and is embarrassed for her as Zach spills all of Liv's personal business to total strangers.

Gary speaks up as he sees the look on Liv's face. "Zach is it? Come on man it's her birthday. You guys should be having fun not talking about personal things."

"Well technically not until tomorrow." Zach shares but keeps going. He attempts to sing happy birthday in Italian reading from a script causing everyone around to laugh at him and begin singing the song as a way to help him out standing and clapping as they say the correct version in Italian. Once done Zach gives a toast to the greatest woman he knows…beautiful…honest and smart…his mother. Of course this embarrassed Liv once again so he quickly apologies sitting next to her trying to plant a kiss on her mouth, when she turns her away. Suzanne who is Gary's girlfriend chuckles to herself when Liv says "Zach you're a real asshole sometimes."

The waiter approaches with four tall Champaign glasses and a bottle of expensive wine placing it on the table without as much as one word and walks away. "My favorite. Your remembered, Aww." Looking over the bottle thinking maybe he's not such and asshole to herself

"I ah ah…to be honest I didn't order it. Maybe it's on the house? Anyway we should probably drink to-"

"No. Wait, I have to go to the bathroom. " Liv states gathering her small purse after cutting Zach off needing a break from him before he embarrasses her further.

"Fine." Zach mumbles

This place is huge there are twist and turns at every bend. One could truly get lost which is what Liv sorta of did after a few turns here and there but when she turn back around to return the way she came she crashes into the chest of a tall handsome dark haired Fitz. "Are you lost pretty lady?" Liv feels a sense of familiarity but ignores it after looking into those piercing blue eyes and his handsome face she also felt cautious and isolated but drawn to him with a small sense of unexplained desire.

She steps around Fitz and without responding continues back into the direction in which she came taking a moment to look back after suddenly feeling alone and he was gone. Maybe she imagined him? Maybe it was all in her mind. Never the less she heads back only to find Zach gone. She never did find the bathroom so she heads back up to her room.

Fitz has been keeping a close personal eye on her without her knowledge. He has also been keeping an eye on Zach. The moment Liv step away Zach began to play. Taking the wine and leaving to find him some fun for the night. Tom captures every moment of his fun night on camera.

The following morning Liv wakes alone. Zach hasn't come in. This pisses her off more. She showers and dresses after calling his cell phone that she pay the bill for several times and getting his immediate voicemail. She knows he's turn his phone off. So she calls her carrier and has the number suspended. This is the moment she decided to be done with Zach. He could finish out this week vacation without her as well as find his own way home because she also cancelled his ticket and her second credit card. See how he likes them apples. She thinks to herself.

After showering and doing up her hair she heads down for a social breakfast by the pool where she spots Suzanne sitting soaking up the sun. They chat as Liv eat and then lays back to enjoy the sun as well when the waiter walks up. "Look Olivia! Our wine is her. That's what I'm talking about. Now let's drink." She thanks the waiter as Liv continues to enjoy the sun. She passes Liv a flute and stretches back on her beach chair. "There sure is a lot of sea gulls around." She states trying to make conversation after noticing Liv isn't very talkative.

Liv smiles catching on pretty quickly "Where's Gary?"

"As you can see my man child is playing in the wading pool with all those beautiful women over there." Suzanne state nodding in the direction of her boyfriend who has yet to come anywhere near her or Liv

"What about Zach-where's he?"

"I don't know. He wasn't there when I woke up. I don't think he even came back to the room. I don't know where he is. He doesn't answer his phone. I'm sure he'll find me soon enough since I had it turned off."

"What? But it's your birthday."

"You don't say, but yeah. It doesn't matter the next one is just a year away." Liv pauses and adjusts her shades "I'm not the most important thing to him…my money is. I'm not in his hierarchy; I'm way behind his buddies and what he wants. He doesn't even have a job right now. I'm footing this entire trip- Happy fucking birthday to me, right?"

In that moment Zach walks up "Hi honey. How are you, how about lunch?"

"Lunch? Sure. Where were you?"

"Getting an early start. You were sleeping like a log. I didn't want to wake you. Time's a-wasting. By the way something is going on with my phone. I tried calling you but it didn't work. Maybe you should call the cell company and see what's up."

"Yeah time's a-wasting sure I'll call. Did you have fun?"

"Baby it was fucking awesome. This place is so large and beautiful."

Liv rises up in a sitting position "You idiot we were supposes to see everything together! But instead you leave me alone on my birthday."

Sighing he answers "Jesus Olivia. Don't get so worked up. With you weak heart you shouldn't do that."

"Fuck off with that heart argument again. My heart is fine. Do you care about anything other than yourself? What am I to you? Is it that you don't think I care about you that you treat me this way?"

"Yes I care about you. That's why I'm always concerned about your heart but I can't just stop living and having fun because of it."

Liv jumps from her lounge chair and pushes Zach into the pool while calling him all kinds of explicit names before grabbing her covering and walking away.

She decides to tur the resort alone. Stopping off to enjoy the views and landscaping. As the sun sets she stops and looks out over the water. Tears make their way down her face. She feels foolish and alone. She wipes the fallen tears with her hand. Alone but not beaten she dries her tears and head back to her hotel as darkness falls upon the city.

As she makes her way through the streets of Italy she becomes confused. All the streets look the same at night. Tall brick castle like buildings with winding walkways that could be seen as streets. Turn after turn, building after building she finds herself walking into a darken area that feels eerie and dangerous.

After a slow approach the sound of a dog barking startles her and she quickly turns back. She finally walks into an opening where the street is not so narrow when a pair of headlights from a vehicle shines in her face. She stops momentarily before turning around and is met by a tall handsome man with piercing grey eyes. "Hello Olivia." He greets her before stepping forward placing one hand with a cloth on her mouth and the other around her waist.

The chloroform took effect quickly and he carries her to the waiting vehicle with the headlights on. Fitz is in the car waiting. He reaches out and retrieves the motionless Olivia placing her carefully in his arms before driving off to his isolated home.
