Make it up to her

Olivia was disappointed when Pedro didn't go shopping with her. He was called by Zane and Jordan, and thereafter, he gave instructions to the bodyguards and left. Olivia had no choice but to call the girls for a day out. After some minutes, Gabby came with Ira and Sydney.

“I thought this was supposed to be a girl's day or something?” Ira remarked sarcastically, wondering why Gabby was following them. He was a man.

“Sweetheart… I go wherever I want…and as it is… The boss asked me to guard his lady,” Gabby replied with a mischievous grin that had Ira fuming in anger.

“It's not a big deal… he's good-looking just look at how the ladies are staring at him,” Sydney commented glancing back at Ira and Gabby, she had come to love the two very much. They seemed to dislike each other but were found together.

“See, even Syd knows this… I'm a damn big deal,” Gabby said in between chuckles, Olivia was glad she had some company. The mall was a big place, she had a lot to buy. For example, a gift for Pedro. I had no idea what he liked. However, I happened to have a small surprise for him later on.

After what happened with Corina. I wanted to make some new memories with him. Which was why I decided to shop.

Ira and Gabby left us and went to grab something to eat while Sydney and I went to the lady's boutique.

“Looks like mama wants some naughty outfit,” Sydney teased when she realized what I was up to. Forget innocent, I wasn't the Olivia of yesterday. I met Pedro and everything changed.

“Don't act as if you would rather not try this…” Olivia teased, throwing a side glance at Sydney who was already going through the various naughty pieces.

“Welcome madam, please feel free to tell me if you need anything,”, the sales lady said as soon as she showed us the lovely shopping room.

“Don't worry, just get me the best you have,” Olivia said, she wanted something unique. This was a woman's shopping outlet. So many things for women were sold here. In the past, she would feel shy to come here. But now, there was something different.

“Of course…right away,” the lady said with a smile and left from there. Olivia started looking around, touching the fabric. Sydney was already holding a bunch of different lingerie.

“So what does he like…something innocent yet sexy, or something kinky and extremely perverted,” Sydney said, showing her some pieces. Olivia wanted to laugh at how silly Sydney looked, but since both had been friends for a long time.

“Umm, whatever I think I need. Something he has never seen before,” it was the plan, surprise the man with something hot and sexy and get him drooling. Olivia was a little uneducated in this field. But with what she learned about Pedro. He seemed to love spicy things.

It didn't take long before Olivia chose what she wanted, and bought some women's perfume to set the mood and everything for the night. Sydney kept buying just anything and saving them for her wedding night.

“This should do… I'm sure my future hubby will be lucky,” Sydney squealed as we left the women's boutique. Unlike me, she was holding a lot of shopping bags.

“Is it Alfredo?” Olivia asked in between chuckles as they exited the building.

“Please put this in the car,” Olivia said, handing the shopping bags to the guards. She still had a gift for Pedro to buy.

“No… it's been a while…” Sydney muttered. Looking at her, Olivia knew, no matter how Sydney pretended. She still felt something serious for Alfredo. Love and infatuation were two different things. Infatuation faded with time. But love lingered even when the heart was broken and ripped out.

“Do you love him?” Olivia asked once they entered the elevator. Sydney let out a long exhale before she answered.

“It's complicated… let's just say, things have changed,” she replied, the pain and sadness in her voice was something Olivia knew “what about you, do you still love Luciano” Sydney added getting Olivia's attention? Both girls stared at each other for a while when Olivia averted her eyes.

“No, I don't… He had his chance, but he did his worst… I've moved on,” she had no feelings for Luciano whatsoever, she loved him dearly, and Olivia gave it all. Luciano was her first love, but after what he did. She didn't want him.

“Then clarify it… tell him Pedro is the one you love… I see this getting bloody,” Sydney said with a sigh, and both exited the elevator. The men's section was a busy one. Hushed and peaceful. Olivia felt a cool breeze caressing her neck.

“Wow, now I know why all these rich men flaunt their wealth,” Sydney said in mockery, seeing all the various men in suits walking around.

Olivia didn't mind, she came to buy something for her man, subsequently, she was going back to the villa and arranged a surprise dinner for Pedro.

“Welcome madam, how can I help you,” a man in a blue suit like the rest of the employees, Olivia, was about to say something when she saw someone approaching them? Elegantly dressed in a burgundy suit. His hair was nicely trimmed and styled. Even Sydney saw him because he wasn't alone. It had been nearly a month since she saw Alfredo. The last time was when she slept with him.

“Jerry, how are you?” It was Luciano who said to the man as soon as he came to them. Olivia's expression turned sour, seeing Luciano so happy.

“Good day, Mr. Garcia… it's so good to see you,” the man said with a low bow. The entire time, Luciano's gaze was on Olivia. While Alfredo was looking at Sydney.

“I see, do you have some nice watches…something unique,”

“Sure sir… I'm sure you can find something… I'll have the employees deliver some last collection,” the man said professionally.

“Syd, let's go… we'll find our way,” Olivia muttered and took Sydney by the arm and dragged her away. Who knew she would meet Luciano here.

“What the fuck are they doing here?” Sydney said, feeling irritated, it was a lovely day but turned sour.

“Let's just go… I…” Olivia said, but stopped when she heard Alfredo calling her. Both stopped in their tracks and Alfredo came running.

“Well, I… I don't know what to say…” he stuttered, not sure where to start, he was in disbelief when Luciano told him about Olivia and seeing her. He was short of words. Despite the change of face, her eyes were still as bright and beautiful as ever.

“We don't have all day here… whatever you want to say… we don't have time,” Sydney spat out disdainfully, Alfredo didn't mind but unexpectedly pulled Olivia in for a hug. Olivia was startled by his actions.

“You don't know how happy I am… it's good to see you,” he mumbled as his grip on her tightened, Olivia had nothing to say to him. Even if she had nothing against Alfredo. He was still a Garcia, just like his brother and mother.

“Please don't,” Olivia wiggled out of his stronghold.

“I'm sorry, I was just happy to see you… I know I'm the last person you want to see, but… can we have lunch or dinner… I intend to make it up to you,” Alfredo said hesitantly, it was the least he could do. Olivia didn't care, hence walked out on him and went straight to the elevator. As if it weren't enough, once the elevator doors opened. She came to a halt when she found Luciano there.

“Olivia, wait,” he stopped her before she could go. Pulled her inside and caged her in his arms before closing the doors and stopping the elevator from moving.

“Let me go!”

“You can't run away, my love,” he whispered, cupping her face and forcefully smashing his lips on hers.
