Elliot
was in the kitchen making pancakes when Olivia awoke the next
morning. "Morning what do you want?" Olivia asked as she
watched Elliot flip the cakes and grin.
"No questions lady,"
he replied laughing, Olivia looked at him with questioning
eyes.
"Okay fine I want Eli to stay with the others at their
grandma's she will take care of them.
"Elliot, no way!"
Olivia answered her voice more forceful than intended.
"Liv
you are tired, come on last night I had to take you in I can't ask
you to kill yourself for my kids; it wouldn't be fair"
"No!
Don't ask I will volunteer" she answered sitting on the stool at
the counter. Elliot poured more batter in the skillet and began. He
knew this wasn't going to be easy but the woman needed to rest.
"Liv
I promise at the first sign of trouble Kathleen with call but till
then you have to rest. Now here is your breakfast eat up then I'm
going to take the kids to their Grandma's then when I get back you
and I will go look for a present for Maureen gift.
"Elliot
are you sure about this, what if they forget to give him his
medication what if they can't coax him to take it, you know he can be
a handful when it's his medicine time" Olivia said knowing that
there was no choice though she wanted to keep Eli with her she
couldn't, she felt the familiar ache in her legs telling her to take
it easy.
"Liv come on Kathy's sisters and mom will take care
of him and remember Suzy her sister is a nurse so I think she can
coax him" Elliot said cutting the cake and placing a piece in
her mouth, Olivia opened her mouth and smile.
"Okay but only
for today and tonight I get him back tomorrow"
"Promise
cross my heart and swear to die" Elliot said and gave her a
sloppy kiss on the cheek. His face burnt with embarrassment as he
remembered how his body had reacted to the slight brush of his lips
against hers.
"What did you do?" Olivia asked seeing his
face go red.
"If you knew you would kill me" Elliot
answered.
"Try-" her sentence was cut short by:
"Dad
we are ready" Maureen said coming off the stairs.
"Okay
lets go, Liv I mean it go rest" Elliot said grabbing up the car
keys.
EEE
Elliot
was silent on the ride but his kids were busy chatting and laughing,
"Dad!" Kathleen screamed Elliot looked up and realized he
had passed the house.
"Sorry guys" Elliot said as he
backed into the yard. They jumped out and took their overnight bag
and ran to their Grandmother who was now coming towards
them
"Grandma!" Maureen screamed and ran to her; Elliot
waved to the in-laws and turned to Kathleen.
"Hey called home
every three hours or so and let Eli talk to Liv or else she'll
probably go nuts, I don't why that woman can't relax" Elliot
said.
"It's because she's in love this guy, he some idiot, I
can't believe some-one could really not return Olivia love she so
loving" Kathleen putting her bag on her shoulder.
"An
idiot indeed, how did you know that?" Elliot asked feeling
uncomfortable that there was a man out there who wasn't loving
Olivia the way she should be loved.
"Okay I went into her
room for something and her diary kind of fell open and I kind of read
it. The guy is such an idiot though she's been waiting on him for
years and he won't even give her the time of day. He's so
wrapped-"
"Kath!" Kathleen grandmother called.
"Dad
I love you I got to go the G people call" she said running
off.
Elliot couldn't stop thinking about this idiot who was hurt his best friend!
Okay so please tell me what you think.
Dear Concerned Citizen;
I want to thank you for you review I loved, though it was a bit harsh at points. But did you read the entire story, it is a story, can't I make it whatever I want?
IDK I thought I could let my imagination run wild!
Well reader what do you think?
