Ivory And Ebony

Chapter 24

Olivia
     Dropping the phone back on the table, taking a deep breathe in
My heart sank
Was he really serious about ending the friendship? Did he really feel nothing for me all these years, asides looking me at his sister or someone he needed to protect. Aside all that, Didnt he see me as a woman?
  "Hey. You okay?" Sanders said snapping me out of my thoughts, didn't even know when he got in
Running a hand through my hair "Yeah, just tensed, stressed, I'm glad the day went well" pushing the thought of Chris away

"You sure? Your brows kept twitching Olivia" staring straight at me, not even buying the story I was letting on

"Yeah. I'm really just overwhelmed, I have quite alot going on" rubbing my temples

"You sure? Anything you need to do before we leave?"

Oh yeah the flight's in an hour

My mind going back to the scene earlier, grabbing Trent by the collar and dishing out a few punches for him
"You bloody son of a bitch!" Putting him to the floor till I was tackling him. The dress not giving me full access to my body to squeeze the kife out of him
   Sanders pulling me away from him
"You sneaky conniving bastards, how dare you do that to someone, especially you Brianna.. wasn't she your friend? Wasn't she your God damn friend! All in the name of what? A fucking sex tape! Or whatever the fuck it was... Do you two know half of what she has been through, the pain, the suffering and she's still on her feet because she's a survivor" my voice echoing throughout the whole room  "She fucking had your child, you rapist!" I seethed, followed by a gasp coming from both of them "But you'll never see them, know why? Your bad genes, your little bad genes ruined their life and now they're dead. I curse the day I ever met you two, and here I was thinking I had some sort of good friends somewhere. Now fucking get out" I roared..not believing my own temper

"Jenny" he tried moving in her direction as I took one step blocking blocking her from view

"I. Said. Get. Out" my fist clenched again, ready to square one to his jaw
Sanders hovering over me, his back to my face.. as he quietly told them to exit the premises before he calls security
Turning to see a tear stained cheek P.A

"They'll pay for all they did okay, I'll make sure of it" turning around slightly as she pulled me back towards her

"No. Let them be. That chapter of my life's closed. I'm not ready to open it. Let them be Olivia. Please" her eyes glassy pleading

Turning on my heels towards the exist into the car and speeding back off to my office....

"Olivia" he was pushing me roughly
"Whatt?" Looking puzzled
"You blanked out" looking fazed

"I just wonder why she'll let it go, they ruined her life-"
"And in the process, they blessed her, made her strong, gave her kids and here she is, with you. So you should understand why she doesn't want to drag it anymore"

I huffed "They should die as well" knowing that he's right and if that's what Jenny wants, I should respect that

"I know they should" pulling me in for a hug, his scent filling my nostrils.. feeling nothing but warmth and peace, his chin resting above my head laid on his chest, snuggling my face closer into his shirt..not really getting enough of his scent earning a chuckle from him

"Ouuu.. someone's a snuggler"  rubbing my back slowly

"Sanders" muffling into his shirt because I just didn't want to take my face away

"Yes princess"

"Are we going too fast?" He stopped rubbing my back and I couldn't help but feel somehow
We stood there for close to about 3 minutes no words just the steady rise and fall of our chest..about pulling away when he pushed me closer to him about to speak

"Do you think we're moving too fast?"

"You don't answer a question with a question Sanders. I keep telling you that" rolling my eyes

"Roll those eyes one more time and I swear to God I'll pluck them out"

About to say something when I realised those were the exact same words Riri would always say to me

"And you'd just have to marry me" I whispered

"The sooner, you roll your eyes, the sooner I pluck them out and the sooner I get married to you" I could feel him smiling

"You're diverting Sanders" stating the fact he's avoiding the question

"I don't know Olivia, I really don't know. In as much as I want things to go by swiftly and fastly, I know you don't trust me fully, but with time you'll warm up to me and I'm not in a rush. If it's dates you wanna go on, we'll do it. Want to fly out of the country, we'll do all that, it all depends on-"

"Sanders" shutting him up as I pulled away from the hug which I immediately missed "You talk too much and most times you've just got to shut up and-" his lips met mine as we moved in perfect sync, gripping my waist pulling me closer towards him as I yelped in excitement as we pulled away needing time to breathe "Kiss me" I finished off the sentence with a smile plastered on my face

"You my dear are one sexy woman" kissing my forehead

"So I'm told" smiling as I walked towards the other side of the table I was leaning on to pack up my bag buzzing Jenny "Are my suitcases ready?"
  "Yes ma'am, already in the trunk"
"Good"
"Is there anything you'd need?"
"No there's nothing. This is where we see less of each other from now on. You have to stay here and man the business as of now, you're in charge, manager"
"Oli-"
"I'll see you at the airport Jenny" taking my hands off the button
"You know you didn't have to be harsh"
"I wasn't and I'm not harsh" putting on my stilettos walking towards him pulling him by the shirt for another kiss
Things started getting heated until my phone rang, and thank God it did. I sure wasn't ready for any heated stuffs rn

Caller ID: Dad

"Why's he calling, we just saw almost three hours ago"

"Maybe it's important" he shrugged "You should pick it up"
Lifting on the 8th ring
"Hey papii, what's up?" Hand in hand with Sanders as we strode towards the door"

"Beulah was in an accident"
I stumbled forward almost hitting my head in the door knob if he didn't hold me tight

"H-how?" I croaked

"Come home Liv, she's fighting for her life"
The world stopped there and there, the colour draining from my face
Fighting? For her life? B hasn't ever been a good fighter, she's just going to give up on that fucking bed
I didn't even know when I was pulled into a chair to seat and let all the information sink in

"W-where ar-are y-you?"
Hoping he was still on the phone

"I- I don't fee-feel so good-"
 
"Where are you right now?" That's when I heard a loud thud

"Help!!" I heard my mother scream over the phone, looking at the worried man knelt Infront of me wide eyed

"M-mum? What's wrong with dad? Wheres my dad?" Fidgeting with my bags trying to get up only to be stopped by him, as he took the phone away from my ear, hanging up

"They-they-they want t-to kill me" hot tears streaming down my cheeks

"No one's dying, we're going to go only when you've got a calm head. Okay?" he cooed

"And how the fuck I'm I supposed to stay calm when my sister is somewhere fighting for her life and dad collapsed!" I snapped at him yelling

"You don't raise your voice at me when I'm trying to see reason with you Olivia!" He snapped back

"Then fucking get lost" I pushed him as he fell to the floor rushing towards the door and towards the elevator

Dear God, please

A/N; Hey lovelies
I'm back to updating as soon as I can, I've got less work at the moment.
Do you think Beulah would make it or not?
Should I let her character go? Or she's still useful? Which is which?
Or should it be the father doing the dying?
I want to know your thoughts tho😂
Thanks for reading and being hooked. Thanks alot !!
Love c_j
