The Architect of Life

Chapter 5

Oli,

I heard retching and burst through the bathroom door. I see June making herself throw up. I'm so confused as to why she would do this. Then what she says breaks my heart. She says," if I am the way I'm supposed to be, know one will ever want me." Why on God's earth would she think that. June do me a favor and brush your teeth, please. Also, please don't do this again. I'll be right back. I run to the livingroom and call her dad. Hello hey it's Oli. Is everything ok? No it's not June made herself throw up she said if she doesn't no one will want her. What do I do? Well do you know what you're going to do with my daughter? What do you mean? Are you continuing the friendship because there might be something there? Well after today, I am more than interested in finding out if we have a future. I really like her I already knew that she was a great person. After everything I learned today, I understand why you all think we'd be good together. Well then you should tell her your intentions and prove to her she's enough the way she is. Are you sure that's a good idea? I wouldn't let anyone hurt my daughter Oli and I can see what you can't, so yes I'm sure. Ok go check on her and call again if you need to. ok?

I walk back to the bathroom she's finshed drying her hands. Come here June. I walk her to my room. Oli I'm not going anywhere near that bed if you've had women in it. I smirk are you jealous? She huffs and blushes but doesn't answer. I walk to her bend down and hug her. No one but me and Zack have been in my bed ok. I need to talk to you. Just to be clear I'm not trying to get you naked or kiss you or anything like that. You are too young for that just yet. She raises her brow. I walk her to the bed get in. She does that's good she trust me. I climb in the other side and bring her to me. I hold her for a few minutes. June why would you think no one would want you? Wel all the guys at school well the popular ones anyway. They started teasing me and grabbing me all over my body, telling me how fat I am. This is making me mad I breathe in and calm myself. Honey I want you to know that you're beautiful. You would be even more beautiful if you gained weight. I am interested in being friends with you for the next year and a half. What why only a year and a half, she starts crying? You didn't let me finsh little one and no that's not an age reference it a height one. After you turn eighteen I want to be more than friends. I think you might just be what I've been looking for. However, I made a promise to your dad to not touch you like I shouldn't. Until you're old enough so you have to be patient with me. That is if you want me like that. Oli, I have always liked you. Last year after you spent those weeks with us. I liked you more than I probably should. I tried not to but it won't go away. Ok so to be clear little one I won't date or do anything with anyone. I will keep myself for you and you only. Will you do the same ? Yes! But you also have to gain some weight and no more throwing up or skipping meals. Besides I really like curves on my woman. She smiles ok. I just want you to be healthy ok. Ok Oli I promise. She is crying lightly what's wrong you have to tell me. That woman left her number on our take out. Well honey I tossed it and didn't take a second look at it. Oli what if you change your mind and find someone closer to you age. Well I haven't yet and I am really interested in getting to know you better. Oli? Yes honey? I'm tired but I don't want to be a lone. Honey? Yes. Would you be willing to see Harmony about how you're feeling it will make me feel better. Ok I will ask Zoe to help me. Ok sounds good. Oli, How is this going to work? I smile well you see honey they have these things called cell phones and they have video chat or face time so I think that would be one thing. Plus I come down your way about every two to three months and when I'm there I'll make sure to come see you. Now sleep. I kiss her head. I hope they are all right about us. I guess only time will tell.

June I wake up with strong arms around me and the need to pee I don't want to wake him so as I move I place a pillow under his arm he snuggles it. I run to the bathroom and when I come out he's sleeping on his back and my gosh he is gorgeous, his delectable abs are on display. I quickly and quietly leave the room and go to the spare room pull out my sketch pad and start designing I don't realize its been a hour and a half already. I smell coffee and food. I leave the room and head to the kitchen with my sketch pad and Oli has made breakfast. He smiles at me as I walk into the room a brilliant beautiful smile. I walk over and give him a hug. He reaches down and pulls me close and says good morning beautiful and I could totally get use to this. I pull back and want to look at my design while we eat. We sit and eat, he looks through everything. When he's done he says you gave me three options. Which option would you pick he asks. I hid my choice number in each sketch but you choose yours and I'll reveal mine ok well I like this one with the greys and blues it's calming. I smiled widely then showed him where I hid my numbers and that his and mine are the same. He laughted we finished up got ready for the day and cleaned up. We stopped at a textile for design place and we went in and chose the fabric the hardware and textures. Then he said I could order the small touches online from whatever store I want. We ran over to the office before leaving to go back we were both casually dressed he was wearing linen slacks and a white button up and I was wearing a light blue and white summer dress. We were holding hands and went to his office, to check in before leaving.
