Chapter 37: Chapter 37
A Dance With Him
Oliver
" Oliver, I knew everything that happened, happened for the best, now you need to get on with your life and our business, we need to sign for something big, meet Stephanie, your wife to be, isn't she pretty?"
"My what !!!"
"Mom, you must be joking, calling a total stranger my wife to be; who does that."
I got so angry at mom.
" Oliver, you dare not talk to your mother in that manner. Do you know how you disappointed me by going against my rules? I warned you not to have anything to do with the housemate, but what did you do? You just like your father."
This word got me angrier
" Yes, mom", I clapped, "I am happy I am just like my father and not you; now I see the reasons he cheats on you, and I wish he can even cheat on you more."
" Oliver."
I walked away, ignoring her.
I can't believe my mother can be this cold; I always thought she was the best, not until everything took place.
"Why in the world could this happen to me!!!"
"I can't believe the woman I am so in love with is my sister."
I heard a knock at the door; I guess it's Ava," Come in, pumpkin."
She sat on the bed, " bro, I have a feeling Charlotte, my crazy girl, is not your sister; what if mom planned it all."
" Come on, Ava, we both know dad; he can never say something just to please mom, and Charlotte family is rich as we are even not up to dad wealth fully, but they can't be blackmailed to tell a lie."
" True, bro, but I still don't believe it; how is she doing."
" She doesn't want us to see again."
" It's okay, bro, but I don't like that lady mom brought."
" Come here, little one."
Dylan
I have always loved Charlotte from the very day I met her, she lights up my world, but she is unaware of that.
I got so angry when I learned she register for the show love on fire. Am I not worthy of her love?
I knew she was dating my friend Oliver because I got part of the plans that happened.
I already planned to execute that bastard called Oliver, my old friend, and get her back to my life; if she refuses, I would have done it the hard way, but I aborted my plans when I heard the news; they are related, I am the happiest man on earth.
I won't let her slip my fingers ever again.
Charlotte is mine for life, and I am ready to go the extra mile to hurt anyone that will try and steal her from me.
Let me start with dinner, and I know presently she will need someone right now cause of what she is going through; Dylan brilliant; she will be yours.
I took my phone and decided to call her for dinner
" Charlotte, are you free tonight."
" Yeah, I don't have anything doing for now."
" Well, you know it's been a while you hang out with me. Can you spare me some of your time tonight to treat you dinner?"
" Sure "
" Very well, dear friend, I will text you the address; I miss my friend."
"Silly"
I need to be gentle as ever tonight and make her fall deeply in love with me than the way she loves Oliver.
Charlotte
I thanked Vanessa for having me around this short period to clear my head.
I think I am good now and have accepted what life gave to Oliver and me; it saddens me how the story ends.
I will be going back home today to see my parents and mostly my troublesome brother Ethan.
I am happy Dylan called me for dinner tonight; on second thought, he truly likes me from the beginning; I don't think I can date again but hang out with him will stop me from thinking so much.

My mom hugged me tight and prepared something for me to eat; she said I looked so thin; she blamed herself for making me suffer like this emotional, but I just told her it wasn't her fault; it's how nature chooses to play its game.
I so much love my stepdad; I wish he were my father.
I entered Ethan's rooms, and he refuses to talk to me.
" Seems someone is acting as if I am not here, well let me just tickle him and see his reaction."
I tickled him, and he started laughing.
" I miss you, sis, and your craziness."
" Did you just say I am crazy, I spank his ass, and we laughed?"
He felt terrible for signing me up for the show.
I told mom about the dinner, and she got happy am finally picking up the pieces, but my stepdad didn't buy the idea; he says there is something off about Dylan.
I just made him understand I will not date him; it is just a regular friendly date.

I fit in different dresses and finally selected the gown that works so well; Oliver is the reason I am dressing gorgeously as a lady; I guess I will need to change my wardrobe soon enough.
I put on a silver gown and transparent heels and style my hair, took my pulse, entered my car, and zoomed off to the address texted to me by Dylan.
He was looking good but nothing compared to my Oliver.
He complimented me, and I orders rice and salad same with him.
We talked about many things that made me laugh and smile, mostly most things I did at the age of 22, funny how time flies.
A soft tune music played in the background as everyone was dancing, then he said," can I have this dance."
" Sure"
I wasn't comfortable while we dance, he looked like someone that wants to kiss me, but he's strange; I don't know about his background fully, and he doesn't like me talking or asking about it, but I just had to respect him him in his privacy.
He asked a question
" Why don't you want to give me a chance to love you."
I couldn't answer; I just thanked him for dinner and requested to take my leave, but he seized my hands, and it hurt
" I need to know why."
It was apparent anyone looking at us we see is trying to leggo of his grip.
That was when someone punched him hard on the face.
" Leave her alone; look for someone else you will hurt."
The voice, wait a minute, "Oliver."
" You shouldn't be seen with this monster."

Does it seem Oliver knows Dylan very well?
