Chapter 57: Liv’s Greatest Blessing

…

He blinked a couple of times to make sure that he’s not dreaming, I guess. I laughed at him because he was cute.

“You mean it?” he asked and I nodded.

“I do. And I figured that this is the right time for me to tell you,” I explained to him.

Kellen had a genuine smile on his face he looks so happy even he doesn’t express it too much. “I’m glad that you feel the same way,” he said.

It took a lot of late night deep thoughts before I had the courage to say it. At first, I’m doubting like I’m asking myself, what if I tell him that I love him but still don’t? That’s why I’m grateful that he waited for me to get ready. He didn’t leave me. And now, I am considering him as a big part of my life already. I don’t think I’d still have a normal life without him by my side.

I walked closer to him and initiated a hug. Thank God my shoes were high so I can reach for his neck and wrap my arms around it. I feel so safe whenever I’m near him, like this. He then hugged me back and we stayed like that for almost a minute before I pulled away.

“You’re blushing.” I touched his nose with my index finger to tease him. Even the light is not so bright up here, I could sense that his cheeks are burning a bit.

“You’re the first one who made me feel this,” he admitted. I smiled before giving him a quick kiss on the lips.

…

We don’t have a work schedule or meetings on our 2nd day here in Ohio but Kellen was invited to have dinner at his friend’s house. He forced me to come even I didn’t want to because I’m not invited and I’m shy. Excluding Cindy and his other friends back in Brooklyn, I haven’t met anyone in his friends here in Ohio yet. But Kellen said that they’re very down to earth and not hard to socialize with and that gave me courage to meet them.

“I said we’re going to buy one pair only,” I argued.

We’re in a shoe store here in Cleveland. The shoes here looked so expensive and only people like Kellen could afford the price. He wants me to buy a lot so I would have a lot of options whenever I’m going for work but I disagreed. I bought some shoes in the past months also so I don’t need a lot of it anymore.

“Fine,” he said.

We walked around the store and I realized how big it was. There are also people here who’s trying on some of the shoes they chose. I also saw a women lately who bought three boxes but I think she also bought other items like bags and accessories.

I was looking at the displayed ones and I saw something that I think would fit my style. I took it and made a closer look. It looks so elegant and simple. It’s a gray-colored closed pin heel with a square-shaped design on the toe box part.

“I’ll try this on,” I told him before calling the saleslady. She immediately went to me.

“Do you want to try it on, Ma’am?” she asked nicely.

“I’d like to try the next size,” I told her.

“Okay, Ma’am. Just a moment,” she said and I handed her the shoe.

There’s a lot of couch in here and we occupied the one near the place where I got the shoe. “Are you sure you’re going to buy just one pair?” he raised a brow at me while we were sitting next to each other.

“Kellen, I still have a lot of shoes. You don’t need to buy me more. One is enough,” I said to him.

I know that he just wants the best for me but when I don’t need it, I shouldn’t let him buy it for me because there are a lot of things where we should spend our money. Even Kellen has tons of it, I wouldn’t let him spend more and more on me. It doesn’t make me feel good. It makes me feel like I’m taking him for advantage and I don’t want that.

“Okay then,” he said.

The sales lady came back faster than I expected. She offered to help me but I said I can do it on my own because I noticed that she was wearing a skirt. It would be hard for her to kneel in front of me so I refused to accept her help. I put the shoes on and it fits perfectly on my feet. I walked towards the feet mirror near us and it looks good on me.

“We’ll take this pair,” I told the saleslady.

“Okay, Ma’am. I’ll meet you at the register,” she said.

We followed her to the cashier. Kellen’s phone rang but he got his credit card from his coat and gave it to me before answering the call and walking away for privacy. It must be his friend who invited him for dinner tonight. She then scanned the box before putting it in a big paper bag with the logo. I gave her the card so she can swipe it up for the payment.

“Is he the chairman of the Parker hotel in Brooklyn?” she suddenly asked. I was about to get surprised but I remembered that Kellen is a famous person. He appears in newspapers and other different platforms. It’s not surprising that some people around the United States know him.

“Yes, he is,” I said. I know that it’s somehow wrong to say that because I shouldn’t tell information to strangers about him but I’d be overreacting if I’d lie about it. Besides, she seems like a nice person.

“I knew it. He looks kind of familiar,” she told me.

“Oh, really? How did you know him?” I asked curiously.

“My cousin lives in Brooklyn too. She’s working for him. Mr. Deckard Parker, right?” she asked me and I nodded.

“Really? May I know your cousin’s name?” I asked. I might know her because I know a lot of people who work at the hotel, of course.

“It’s Laura. Laura Jones.”

“Oh! Laura is your cousin.” What a small world. “Laura is my colleague. She’s a very nice person to everyone. I can’t believe I found someone related to her here in Ohio,” I happily said.

“My mom and Laura’s are sisters. His father lives in Brooklyn which made them live there too instead of staying here,” she told me.

“Oh, I see.” I don’t hang out with Laura often but I could tell that she’s really nice and also her friend, Elle.

“Are you perhaps, going out with him?” she asked shyly.

“Oh, uhm…” I glanced at him for a second but he didn’t say it because he was busy talking on the phone. I then turned to face her again. “Yes, we are. But I’m also working for him.”

I thought she’ll get a weird idea about it but her face tells that she doesn’t. In fact, she’s kind of amazed by what I’ve said.

“Really?” she asked and I nodded. “I sensed it when I saw the two of you earlier. I’m not going to lie but you make a really good couple. You look perfect together,” she said before returning the credit card to me.

“Thank you,” I said and smiled at her. She then handed me the paper bag. “I’ll see you around then.” I paused to check her name plate. “Sara.”

“Oh, what’s your name?” she immediately asked.

“I’m Olivia,” I said.

“I hope to see you again, Olivia. Bye!” she said before waving at me. I also said goodbye before walking away.

…

It’s now almost dinner time and we’re now getting ready. Kellen wore a navy blue dress shirt and a pair of slacks. I wore a beige casual knitted dress and the shoes he bought for me. I was fixing my dress when he went closer to me. He’s very clingy and it makes him cute.

He held my waist so I put my hands around his neck. “Why?” I asked him. Whenever he does this, it’s either he just wants us to have a sweet moment of he wants to tell me something.

“I’ve never told this to anyone before,” he started. “I’ll tell my parents about us.”
