Chapter 8
After getting home and putting her son to bed, Olivia, decided she was going to call Terry and tell him she really wanted to just end it now.
"Hello?" His deep voice rang through the phone.
"Hi Terry." She said trying to be friendly; she didn't want him to trip.
"Oh, hey baby. Was up?" He asked, she could tell he was drinking, when he ever he was drunk or tipsy he would talk like a thug.
"Umm nothing, are you drinking?" She asked, she didn't want to tell him while he was drinking, since that is when he is the craziest.
"Not really, I had a few here and there nothing much." He said.
She rolled her eyes into the phone she knew he was lying so she wasn't even going to bother telling him until he was clear headed and sober. "Ok, well I was just calling to say hi, see how you were." She lied.
"Oh, well I'm cool, so you thought about what we talked about the other day?" He asked, he wanted to be back with her. He was just waiting for her to come to her senses.
"Yes I did, and I will talk to you about that when you haven't been drinking." She said.
"Oh iight, well call me tomorrow around 3." He said.
She heard another female in the background and rolled her eyes. "No, I might as well tell you now before you go and fuck that girl that over there with you." She said sighing.
"What girl? baby I don't have no girl over here." He said laughing nervously.
She rolled her eyes, "What ever Terry, look I am not stupid. You don't have to lie, we are on a break so you're not doing anything wrong." She said calmly.
"Oh, yea I know, so what did you want to tell me?" He said relaxed knowing he wasn't doing anything wrong.
"I just wanted to tell you that I want to break up officially, I don't want to get back together with you." She said.
"What the hell! Why not? Is it because I have been having sex with other girls? Look, you said I wasn't doing anything wrong." He said quickly.
"Its not that, I just don't think it will be good for us to stay together. I just realized that I want something else in my life. You're just not that something." She said calmly.
"You know what! Fine then, but remember I am the best thing you will ever have. No man will want to be with a woman with a fatherless child." He said upset.
"Fuck you! Don't you ever talk about my child, grow the fuck up!" She yelled into the phone then hung up.
She rubbed her forehead and sat on the couch, she was so happy it was finally over, the only problem is that she knew he wasn't going to give up. He never gave up that easily. She started to call him back, but she told herself to let it go, then she remembered she has dinner tomorrow with Elliot, she got excited. She went into the kitchen and looked around trying to figure out what to make.
After deciding, she took a shower and got in bed to watch T.V. The movie Oz was on, she had a crush Christopher Meloni, she use to think that Elliot looked just like him, but he would deny it and say Christopher's head was bigger then his.
She began to drift off to sleep when her phone rang. She knew it was Terry, so she didn't even bother to look at the caller I.D.
"What?" She asked irritated.
"What, what?" Elliot asked through the phone.
"Oh, sorry I thought you were somebody else." She admitted.
He laughed a bit, "Oh, ok, well what's going on?" He asked. He really didn't want anything, he just wanted to hear her voice.
"Nothing much, watching your look-a-like on TV." She said giggling.
"Who is my look-a-like?" He asked.
"Christopher Meloni." She said then began laughing.
"We don't look a like I told you his head is huge. I am much prettier then him." He said, causing her to laugh even more.
"Ok. Well was there something you wanted?" She said, happy that he even called.
"Do I have to want something to call?" He asked offended.
She laughed. "No, just wondering that's all." She said.
He laughed also. "Oh, well nothing really just wanted to say goodnight that's all." He said.
"Goodnight? Elliot it's 9 o'clock." She said looking at the clock.
"Oh, well its night time, so have a good night." He said laughing.
"I will, and good night to you also." She said smiling.
"Ok." He said stalling slightly.
"Ok nub nub." she said.
He started laughing. "Yea ok, bun bun." He said then hung up.
Olivia laid back down and closed her eyes, she was happy that they were speaking to one another again. Maybe she could love and be with him again.
