Chapter 9

Last time

Oliver nodded and Mai began telling her story.

"When you asked me if it was you or Gene that I was in love with it killed me inside. I just lost the only person that I loved and then I lost everyone who I considered my family. When I got back to the cabin we were staying in, I pretended that you didn't hurt me. I just acted normal and no one noticed how I was acting. When you told us that SPR was going to be disbanded and that you were going back England. Then when you walked out the door John looked at Lin and asked when your flight would be, and Lin told him. Everyone then decided to see you off. I didn't go because I had other things to deal with. Then the day drifted into months and no one bothered to check –up on me. Then I noticed that my phone needed an up-grade. I went and had had mu number changed and erased everyone off my phone. Then the school year ended, and Yasuhara found me one day because I was looking for a job. He knew what school I went to and of course when the school had trips. That day I should have gone on the school trip but I didn't want to. I stayed home and decided to find a job. Yasuhara asked me how I was and I lied and told him that I was fine. Then I walked away because a classmate of him walked up to him. Then school started and I threw myself into my studies, found a job, and then I met Drake's nephew. He was kind and sweet. He tried to get my frozen heart to open back up, then I told him that I couldn't. He left for a job after I turned him down, and that was that last time that I saw him. Then the ghost started to attack me and then you can guess what happened from that."

Mai looked away from Oliver. She didn't want to see his reaction. But then he started to talk, "I know there is more to it than that. But I just wanted to tell you that I regret asking you that stupid question. I know we are at Truces right now, but I regret telling you how I truly felt because when you told you that you saw me and then realized I had a twin, I got mad because I thought you loved him and not me. When I returned home I closed off from everyone. When John called me and asked if I had heard from you because you were nowhere to found, they showed up at your school and they told Ayako that you didn't walk at graduation, but you decided to get right to college. No one had any information on you. Monk said that he had seen you working at a Club he used to perform at and had asked him how you were, he didn't say much. Back to when John said you were missing my heart stopped beating. I didn't know what that was until I saw you singing on stage that night and then tonight. I have come to realize that I do love you."

Mai froze when she hear Olive saying those words. She turned to look at him and said, "why now? Why now that I am broken that you decided to say those words to me."

CHAPTER 9

Now:

Oliver turned Mai around so that she was facing him. Mai didn't look at him, she had her eyes on the floor. When she felt Oliver move his hand to her face to look up at him, he said, "the reason why now is because I was stupid back then. I couldn't think or deal with everything. When I went back to England I talked with my cousin. She was pissed that I left you and came back, and at the same time she was really happy that someone could actually put up with me. But I didn't know at the time that I had hurt you because I was stupid enough to believe that you were in love with Gene. I was pissed off from days on end. After a while I knew I was wrong because I did find out that I was in love with you but I had lost everything. Then I decided to try and sort out the rest of my feelings and tried to decided what I should tell you when I did come back. Yet at the same time I thought that you might have meet someone else, which I was right about that, but I thought that when you met someone else that you would have been married and that you had moved on from me. I know we called a truces till the end of this case. I just want to know if you still feel what I feel for you and if I am aloud to court you?"

Mai looked at Oliver in the eyes and said, "I do feel the same for you, it's just that if I would allow you to court me as you say, it has to be after this case. But I can tell that you want to ask me something don't you?"

They were both quiet. Mai was right that Oliver wanted to ask her something. She was scarfed on what it might be. Mai looked at him and noticed that he has seemed a little happier that she was talking to him and telling how she felt.

When Mai was about to turn away from Oliver again, he grabbed her and pulled her closer. All kinds of thoughts were running though her mind and only one stood out. He's going to kiss me. That was running though her mind.

Mai looked at him and realized they were close. Then he kissed her. It was nothing to what she had her friends say about kissing someone that they love. Mai kissed back just as Oliver was about to pull away. When she kissed him back the kiss grew from a simple one into something more, it grew into passion.

The kiss would have gone even longer if the door hadn't opened and Drake said, "About time."

Mai jumped away from Oliver and said, "Drake what are you doing here?"

"Alice called me to ask where you were. Same with the one member that came with him. It's late Mai, and my brother will be here tomorrow, and same with my niece and nephew. Just don't let them see you kissing someone else. Lilly-Anna knows who you truly love, but my brother might not, though my brother is only my cousin, we grew up together so we called each other brother. Come we need to leave, its past midnight."

The next morning Mai woke up in her old room. She knew that she would have a lot of explaining to do. Damn it why did he have to come. Why did his father, brother and sister have to be here today? Why all of them. While Mai drifted off into thinking she didn't realize that her door opened and Lilly-Anna walked into the room. She looked at Mai and said, "Mai, sweetie are you going to be okay?"

Mai looked up and said, "I'll have to be. After all you son blames me for his death, and the same with his siblings. They all blame me. Saying that I am the reason why he left and went and did what he did. Then after he had died it made it even more worse that you lost your grandson. Then when you decided to take my said, along with Drake and Alice, they both got pissed at you."

"Mai, my dear child I made the right decision. I knew you didn't love him and that you tried to love him back. When he found out that you didn't feel that same and that you were just settling for him because you were to broken over to who had hurt you."

Mai started to cry again. When there was a knock on the door, Lilly-Anna looked up and saw that Naru/Oliver was at the door. Of course Lilly-Anna knew who he really was and also that he had broken Mai's heart and at the same time he had talked with Mai the night before and they felt the same.

"You can come in young man." Said Lilly-Anna.

When Oliver walked into the room and said, "Why is Mai crying?"

He walked over to her and Mai looked at him and said, "I'll be fine. Please understand it's nothing. Just worried about how today will go. I know that I am not on this case, just here to help. But whatever you do today, just don't lose control on what's going to happen. Tell the others the same okay."

Lilly-Anna looked at Mai and Oliver and said, "Shibuya, I know who you really are, your Oliver Davis, don't ask how I now. But I'll call you Shibuya-san so that you can keep your cover. My son will be here sometime today to talk to you. He and his family strongly believe that Mai didn't care about my grandson and their for he might treat you like-like she shouldn't be around, also he'll be mad at me because I stood by Mai, and same as my nephew. If you hear something that you question or don't like you can ask questions and re-question anyone you like. I am still head of my family and what I say goes. My son may think that he'll take this family over once I am go, he will not. The next head of this family well go to Drake. His parents were heads of the family till they had died and it had fallen upon my husband and me to take the family over. My son nor Drake know about this and I would like you to keep this from them."

"OF course Lilly-Anna." Said Oliver.

Oliver hugged Mai to cheer her up but her face turned red and she said, "Stop it, you shouldn't be in here, I'm still-"

"I don't care Mai, I've seen you in your night clothes before because of all the dreams you had at night that woke everyone up and also it doesn't bother me because I am respectful to keep my eyes on your face or the wall and floor. "

Lilly-Anna smiled at what Oliver had said. She looked at the young couple before her and knew that everything will work out in the end. She looked at them and remembered when she was once a young lady and in love.

"Well, I'll be going. I should hope that you, Oliver, will be respectful enough in this wrong with Mai. And not funny business, I may be an old women, but I know what love is when I see it. I just don't want Emily to come in here and see something that she shouldn't see. "

"Ma'am I can assure you that won't happen. I'll be down in a bit. I just need to talk to Mai for a minute."

Lilly-Anna nodded her head as she walked out the door. When she was gone Oliver looked at Mai and said, "About last night I hope I didn't make you upset about kissing you. But what I had said is true. That I wanted to be with you when you are ready for that. Maybe not right now, but don't keep me waiting for too long Mai."

Mai reached over to Oliver and said, "Shut up."

Then she kissed him. Just a simple kiss and she said, "I understand and I know. But right now you have a case to work on. I need to get up and get dress."

"I don't want you wondering around this house alone, so I'll wait outside your bedroom door."

When Oliver left the room, Mai got up and looked though her clothes and decided to wear a skirt that went to her knees, and a tee-shirt that the sleeves were cut-off. She looked in the mirror and noticed that she looked normal as she can be. She placed her boots on and grabbed her bag so that she could read some of the books, and look up some songs to talk over with Luka and Jakcy about them. Walking out of the room Mai saw Oliver waiting for her. When she walked out he turned to her and said, "how should we do this? Do you want the others know about-"

"No not yet. Maybe after the case. This way Monk won't try to kill you. But I do know that Drake will end up having a word with you sometime, and if that happens you need to talk to him without anyone around."

Oliver just nodded his head. He was about to kiss her again when Emily ran to Mai and said, "Their here and I don't want to see them. Please sis don't go down there."

As if on cue John came walking over to Mai and said, "Lilly-Anna would like Naur to start questioning everyone now. Though she did tell me that you were here with Mai. When Emily took off she asked me to bring her back, but for some reason she's scared."

Mai nodded her head. She picked up Emily and said, "sweetie we have to go back down there. I understand why you're scared because they are here, but I'm scared to. They blame me Emily."

"I know. But it wasn't your fault." Said Emily with a look that told Mai to not even go there. Mai knew that Emily being at 6 years that she held a lot of power. When Emily gets mad she loses control over that power and Mai has been trying to teach her to control that power so she wouldn't be a danger to anyone around her.

"Come on Emily lets go see what crap Dan, Lee, and Mae have been saying to everyone."

Emily looked at Mai as they started to walk while Mai was holding her, Oliver tugged on her arm and took her bag.

"John can you place this in base. When you came down grabbed my note book. I seem to have forgotten it."

"Sure thing Naru."

John took the bag and disappeared and when he was out of sight Oliver took Mai's hand and said, "Everything will be okay."

Emily looked up at him as she noticed the air around them wasn't as thick as it was the other day. Emily kept quiet as she was watching her sister and the person who had broken her heart.

"I know. But whatever you hear don't get upset. Emily is enough to handle with her being so close to me, that I don't need to two people breaking things because they get so mad that they leak out some of their PK."

Oliver looked at Mai and then at Emily and said, "Emily do you have PK?"

Emily looked at Mai and said, "Is it okay to talk to him about my gifts?"

"Yes it is. He has almost the same gift as you."

"Is he trust worthy now?" said Emily.

"Yes he is."

Before Oliver could say anything they reach the stairs and Emily hopped down from Mai and took her as, as Oliver let go. They walked down the Stairs and when the family and the rest of SPR came into view Mai noticed eyes on her. But the eyes that were watching every step that she made was the ones she wished she could hide from.

When Mai was in the room, she looked at everyone and said, "Good morning. Sorry that I'm late for the meeting."
