Chapter 0062 OLIVIA "Why do you have that look, what happened." I lifted my head and looked at Marcus. "I just said yes to dinner with Ethan, tonight." He paused what he was doing and just stared atfor a minute. He then places the plate he was holding into the sink then wiped his hands. “I think it's tforto leave so that you can get ready for your date." "It's not a date its just dinner." He waved his hand going towards the front door withfollowing behind. “It's okay Olivia, go and enjoy yourself. I will see you." he walked out then closed the door before I could say more. I sighed feeling defeated. "You like him, don't you?" I turned and Lupita was standing there.
"I don't know what you are talking about." I walked past her going to the kitchen. "Right, then why do you look so guilty about going to dinner with Mr Lewis?" "Lupita! It's bad to listen to other people's conversations." She shook her head. “I wasn't trying to; I was coming to the kitchen to wash the dishes when I heard you." I sighed turning to face her. "It's too soon forto go out on dates and besides. My son just got out of the hospital. I wanted to say no to Ethan, but Marcus madeso nervous that I ended up typing yes instead of no." "If you are not comfortable with Mr Walker around then tell him not to chere anymore. Tell him to meet at the office if he has something business related to discuss. You can't have someone you are not comfortable with in your home." I shook my head, she got it all wrong, I liked having Marcus around. "That is not the case Lupita, I like having him around and maybe a little too much." "Oh." She said, then her eyes widened as if something just clicked. “Oh, you mean that...?" I nodded. "Oh." That oh was getting a little annoying. "So, you like Mr Walker but going out with Mr Lewis." She made it sound like it was a bad thing.

"That man looks at you like you are the only woman in the world. In my opinion, that is not how you look at someone who is just your friend. That man is head over hills in love with you and you are just too blind to see it." No! it couldn't be.
He was Nick's best friend; he wouldn't do that to him. they loved each other, they were bros. he would never look atthat way. Lupita must have been seeing things, "No, Ethan wouldn't do that, he is loyal to Nick, and I was his wife. He will never cross that line." Or would he? Lupita shrugged. "Maybe I am seeing things, and I have not known Mr Lewis that long. You know him better than I do." Did I? I decided to not entertain her, I had already said yes to dinner, and I was not going to disappoint the only person who offereda helping hand when I needed it.
It was just dinner nothing more. "I am going to get ready, are you sure you are going to be okay with Samuel and grandma on your own." "Yes, we will be just fine." I nodded and went to shower. I thought about what Lupita said as I showered but decided to take it out of my head. Even if Ethan did have feelings for me, I wouldn't cross that line with him. Besides being Nick's friend, I didn't see him that way and felt nothing but friendly feelings for him. If that was even a thing I got out of the shower and got ready. When I was done, I walked out still wearing my slippers and holding my shoes and bag.
1/2 I was surprised to see that Ethan was already there waiting Am late?" I asked checking the tto, I am early. I wanted to see Samuel first before we left. He was asleep when I was here earlier "I guess we had the sthought. I also wanted to spend a few minutes with my son before we left "You look beautiful." He complimented and I gave him a ile. "Thank you, you look good too." Lupita coughed and 1 glared at her, she smiled and looked away, I didn't want to think about what the said or it was going to distractthe whole evening. I wore my shoes then played with Samuel for a while before Ethan and I left Lupita put ideas in my head and now I couldn't look at Ethan in the eyes. “Is everything alright?" I nodded. “Yes, am fine." If you calledwondering if he had feelings for the fine then yes, I was very fine. "If you don't feel like going out then we can go back." I shook my head.

I had already said yes and besides. If we don't go now, he might ask again and saying no would be awkward. "Am fine, really." When we got to the restaurant everything was fine. He didn't act different and was the Ethan I knew. Lupita must have been mistaken his looks for something else. I felt relieved that I started enjoying myself we were laughing and talking the whole time. I felt like myself again, like the Olivia from before prison. Thanks for tonight, Ethan, I didn't know I needed this until I got here." He smiled as he got into the car about to head back. "I needed this too. It has been a rough couple of days and I needed a break."
More like a rough couple of years for me, thank you for doing this." He smiled. "You are most welcome! The driver got out of the parking and joined the road. We were having champagne in the back seat talking about the couple who were on the table next to ours.
The wife or girlfriend insisted the guy buy take away for her to eat at htomorrow. The guy looked like hen was going to pass out when she asked that. We assumed he didn't have money to buy more food just for that date. He paid and excused himself to go to the bathroom and never cback. We were laughing about that when a bright light from an oncoming car blinded us. It looked like it was passing but then hit us on the side. The car rolled a couple of times before it cto a stop and then silence.
