The Architect of Life

Chapter 9

Hudson

I walk in the house and see Oli holding my sister who's asleep on his lap. Hey man is my sister ok? Yeah, she's just tired emotionally and mentally. Why? Well she's not been eating enough for one and she's been throwing up after eating. What? Shhh don't wake her. The first night she was with me I caught her and called your dad for advice. She promised she wouldn't do it any more and she said she'd make an appointment to talk to Harmony. Thank God. I don't want her to hurt herself. Me either I think we caught it in time before she became addicted to the feeling. At least I hope. What's the deal with you two? I'm falling for her she's amazing and we fit like all of you had said. We've talked a lot and gotten to know eachother a lot over the last year and I didn't really realize it. I had affection for her but didn't know it till your dad pointed in out. Ha he's good at that. Yeah, anytime I had a bad day I'd call the house phone and talk to her and she always calmed my soul. That's what Zoe does for me always has since we met calms my soul. I was stupid and hurt her because I didn't realize I loved her. Don't be like me and don't hurt my sister. Man I won't, I even fired an employee because she decided to make it seemed like we had a relationship and we never have I've only been with two people and I was in long term relationships with them. She upset your sister trying to tell everyone she had spent the night with me the night before your sister was pissed and said infront of everyone there's no way because I didn't see you in his bed and that's were I was it would have been crowded. I laugh then stop wait my sister was in bed with you? Uh yeah she was tired and she didn't want to be a lone. Nothing happened I promise it was like you and Zoe before you guys did anything. Ok just you can't have s*x with my sister she too young. I know that I wouldn't although she got mad at me because I wouldn't kiss her, chuckling lightly. No way she did? Yep I told her I promised your dad and she pouted. All is good though. I laughed well she will probably keep pushing. Well I entend to keep my word as long as possible if it becomes too much I will talk to your dad. I will not disrespect him or my relationship. Well that's good I know you're a good guy. Thanks.

Oli

I sit there holding June and watch as Zoe and Hudson have therapy. They did all this work to have a healthy relationship and be mentally healthy. I can only hope June and I will grow to be strong together. I wait till June wakes after spending time seeing pictures of Gabriel and getting to know more about Zoe and Hudson as a couple now. Also got to learn how June was feeling about being an aunt. She was so sad she could never meet him. It was a hard goodbye when I went home. The next day I come over to spend the day with my girl. We go to the lake we were all having a great time till the she-devil showed up and sent Zoe spinning both myself and June feel helpless. Really I think the whole family feels that way. I ask Junes dad if she can go back with me to my house. I want to make dinner and talk with her more. He said yes. I leave and go home to get ready. When I come back to pick her up, she comes down the stairs and I am practically a dog with my tongue hanging out she's so beautiful. She has a bag and I raise a brow at her. Look my dad said if it get too late I can stay late. Ok, well lets go gorgeous. I take her hand and I feel like I am fifteen holding my first girls hand my heart beating fast. I don't want to mess things up with her. She's an amazing person and the only girl I have ever gotten this nervous around ever. We get back to mine and we have a candle lit dinner. June tell me more about you I don't know. Hmmm you know a lot about me already. Oh, you know, no one and I mean no one knows this except Zoe. I write romance novels they are mild but not even she knows this I have two really spicy ones. They aren't published or anything. Can I read them? The mild ones yes. The spicy ones are for my husband. Well then I guess I'll just have to wait till you marry me. Well we will have to wait and see what happens. She winks at me. Oli? Yes can you tell me what your dream is? Well I wanted to make enough money not to struggle and get married and have beautiful children. It's pretty un-extraordinary. No, I really don't think it is. It sounds prefect. You think so? Yeah. I have always wanted a career, but also I wanted a more old fashioned relationship. How do you mean. I want someone to be my partner but also know when I need him to take charge. Sometimes I get overwhelmed by life. I need someone who not afraid to take charge and tell me what to do. Not in an unhealthy way and not in a controlling abusive way. Does that make sense? Yeah babygirl it does. It's amazing you know yourself so well. Well Oli I'm a true feminist, a woman can accomplish as much as a man but also knows it's ok to not have to in every aspect. Hmm that's a new perspective. Let's go change and hang out by the fire pit outside is that ok? I'd like that. I go change and come out to find June in a lounge outfit and fuzzy sox. We walk outside I start the fire and grab her by her waist and pull her to the chaise. We lay there together and talk. Oli, I'm scared to leave you. Why? I feel like I'm going to lose you before we get started really. You won't June, I promise. I'm sorry. For what babygirl? For being so insecure. Listen to me, I turn her to me. I will show you, you have nothing to be insecure about. I lean and kiss her head. I will miss you though. I will miss you too. We lay there talking and she falls asleep. I carry her to my room and cuddle her while we sleep.

June

I woke up in strong arms, man I loved this. I decide to be cheeky. I lean over him and start draw lightly on his skin with my finge. I then begin to tickle him he snatches my hand and pins me to the bed and tickles me back. We then begin a game of chase. We end up in a pile of pillows laughing hysterically. We finally have breakfast, we made together then went back to the house. It's our last day. We leave tomorrow.
