Chapter 76 - Gone 7

After about some few minutes, Olivia reached out to Ethan.

Placing her hand on his shoulder to make him lower his back, to Olivia's surprise, he obliged.

Staring deep into Ethan's eyes, Olivia didn't notice how beautiful they were until now...

The blue showed like the blue of the skies...

They were almost faded, making him look mysterious...

The mysteriousness of his eyes caused her to wander subconsciously...

As she stared into his eyes, she could see herself with Ethan, holding their second newborn baby and posing for a picture...

It was the picture of a family...

A very young but happy family...

She could see the happiness obvious in their eyes, both of them as they both stared at the camera and then at themselves...

And then they kissed...

It was totally a desire that she needed to see in reality, but Temi had hindered every possible way...

Temi...

That name caused Olivia to subconsciously clench her fists.

As Olivia stared into his eyes, she totally forgot what she had wanted to say, until his voice brought her back...

"Olivia...!" His voice sounded husky.

She heard her name at first, but didn't reply. Unknown to her, she was unconsciously smiling as her eyes sparkled and as she stared deeply at him, with her hair tucked behind her ear.

"Olivia...!" She heard it a second time, but couldn't respond. She felt like she was dreaming.

'Is Ethan actually calling my name...?' She thought to herself.

'Oh...he has the sweetest voice...!'

She subconsciously raised her hand and caressed his face, causing Ethan to frown a bit.

"Olivia...! Ethan's voice sounded louder this time.

Olivia smiled.

'Oh...he called my name again...!'

Then her eyes shot out.

'He called my name again...?'

As he opened his mouth to call her one more time, Olivia said;

"Ethan...!" She called his name as if she was scared that he would leave her.

At the thought of this, Olivia's eyes got teary.

Ethan's frown got deeper a little.

Sitting up as he reached out his hand out towards her, he placed it on her cheeks as he cupped both cheeks in his hands in a gentle manner, like as if he were holding a precious gem...

Feeling the bone chilling hand on her face, Olivia closed her eyes as she held onto his wrist...

Feeling the second hand on her other cheek, tears began to roll out...

Ethan's hand drew circles on her cheeks as he gently wiped the tears flowing down her eyes.

With every action of his gentle touch, the tears flowed down endlessly and became warm.

Ethan didn't know what got into him, but he wiped away Olivia's tears for the last time before pulling her in for the warmest hug she had ever received.

Olivia was stunned.

Ethan was hugging her...

And the hug was the warmest.

Wait, the hug was the warmest...

And Ethan was hugging her...?

Was it because she was getting hugged from her long-time crush or the desire within her consumed her so much, it extended to the exterior...

Ethan finally let himself loose...

"Olivia, you do know that there are consequences for what would happen, right? Are you willing to take the risk...? Especially as a lady from a high-standing family...?" Ethan asked with concern in his voice.

Ethan was even stunned at himself for asking such a question.

What was wrong with him?

And if this was really him, what had gotten into him?

He didn't want to tarnish her family's image, just because of...

"...Yes Ethan...I'm ready to...I'm willing to...I want to become one with you...!" Olivia said firmly.

"Are you sure...?" Ethan pulled away as he asked.

"What about your Dad...?"

"I'm going to leave his house to another man's house anyway...and I want it to be yours, so...!" Olivia said with delight in her eyes.

Ethan stared right into the eyes of Olivia for a while.

'Has she always been this beautiful...?' Ethan asked as his eyes wandered slowly all the way down.

'Although, she's beautiful, she's absolutely crazy...and she's driving 'me' crazy...!'

Staring intently, Ethan said;

"You know that when this is done, there's no going back...!" Ethan warned again.

Olivia stared down also, a strange smile creeping up to her face.

"That goes for you too!"

Ethan was silent for a while. Tracing his eyes up to her eyes, he found her staring down at something.

Although, he felt uncomfortable, he got up from the bed as he asked in a heavy voice;

"Everything has a beginning, right...?"

Olivia sucked in some air as she also nodded.

"And also an end...!" She replied.

Walking towards the drawer that he had earlier been to, Ethan squatted and slowly pulled it open as he removed something from inside.

Two (2) glasses and a bottle.

Olivia's eyes widened.

"Alcohol...!" She subconsciously said.

Ethan looked at her, as if he had heard her.

Realizing herself, she gasped as her hands flew to her lips, covering it.

Then realizing that she was about to happen with Ethan, she swallowed hard and placed the right words in order before opening her mouth;

"Um, Ethan...?" She called.

Ethan looked at her.

"What's up...?" He asked.

Swallowing hard, Olivia asked;

"Don't drinks like that one make you go high...? Like alcohol...?"

Ethan was silent for a while.

Olivia swallowed deeply.

"Isn't that alcohol...?" She asked again.

After some time, he burst out laughing.

"Since everything has a beginning, I believe we should start up properly first, right...?" He said as he got up and headed for the bed on which Olivia sat.

"But, I don't know how to drink...!" Olivia muttered to herself.

Sitting beside her on the bed with a puzzled look on his face, Ethan asked;

"Don't tell me you haven't tried this before...?"

Olivia was silent.

Ethan laughed.

"C'mon, a big girl like you that's always raising up her shoulders should have tried something like this before...multiple times even and should have been experienced in it even more than I am!"

Although, Olivia was silent, she wouldn't deny the fact that she was embarrassed.

Moving his face nearer to hers, Ethan said;

"But if you don't know how to drink, allow me to do the honor of teaching you...!" His voice was low.

Olivia could feel her cheeks burning and she suppressed the urge to smile, but it was too hard to do so...

She knew that she was blushing profusely and she could tell that Ethan could see it, because he stared at her cheeks also, before slowly lowering his eyes down to her lips.

Staring at them for a moment, he slowly opened his mouth and said;

"Let's hurry and get this over with!"

"I can't wait to do it again...it's been a long time since I last had fun...!"

Olivia frowned a bit as she looked at Ethan, and Ethan knew it.

Pouring himself a glass of drink and making a small show out of it, Ethan raised the glass to his lips as he looked at Olivia and smiled.

When he saw Olivia's puzzled face, his smile disappeared a bit.

"What? You don't think you're the first girl I've ever rocked, do you...?"
