04 : Just You & I?

Maynard didn't Know what to do at that moment. His mind fills with conflicted thoughts as he tries to fight back the feeling he's having.

He finds himself trying to reach out to the lady since she was still on the floor. He could not see her face since her hair was scattered all over.

His hands touched her shoulder but as soon as it did, she shrugs him off with an angry scowl..

"Take your hands off me, do not touch me!"

She stands up, puts her face cap on and began to walk away without turning. Maynard finds himself in a state of perplexity but he knew he had to follow her to clear the doubt that lingers in his mind.

Just as he was about to take a step, his driver, Henry showed up.

"Sir, we have to leave!!"

"Just a second Henry,..." He made to take another step but Henry stopped him again.

"We have to go Sir! The press are outside and creating a scene already."

Maynard frowns.. "How did they get to know that I'll be here?"

"I have no idea..!"

With that, Maynard rush out through the back door alongside Henry. Thoughts about the lady he bumped into a while back still lingers in his mind and why does her voice sound so familiar.

Could it be who be thinks that is? No! That can't be! It's has been over two years since he last saw her. There must be a mix up somewhere!

"Sir! Your manager called an hour ago, He wants to meet up with you" Henry says, staring at Maynard from the rare view mirror.

"Tell him to reschedule" Maynard leans back on his seat

~♠ THE NEXT MORNING ~♠

Olivia snaps her eyes open but quickly shuts them back because of the bright light. She lifts herself up and rubs her forehead, feeling a hangover from last night.

She had the most weirdest dream last night. In her dream, she bumped into someone on her way to the restroom at the bar and it felt like she bumped into Maynard.

Two years and she made herself let go of every atom of feelings she had for him and she rarely thinks of him, as a matter of fact, she doesn't think of him at all.

Lucy walks in... "Honey water for you!"

Olivia breathes out. "Just what I need to clear off this hangover" She gulps down the honey water, not minding it was still hot.

After a while, she was done drinking... She holds Lucy's hands and gives a weird look which makes her uncomfortable.

"Why are you staring at me in that manner? Do I have something on my face?"

Olivia narrows her eyes a bit. Only Lucy is going to tell her the truth on what she's about to ask.

"I had a dream last night Lucy, it felt so real and in this dream, I bumped into someone and...."

Lucy countenance changed as Olivia explains her dream to her. She couldn't have thought that Olivia would recall what happened last night but now that she's asking...

"That was a dream, right? Nothing of sort happened last night right?"

Lucy holds her hand instead and smiled.. "It's all a dream Olivia. You didn't bump into anyone and think that it's Maynard. Trust me, I was there with you"

Olivia release the breath she didn't know she was holding. It's a relief to know that it wasn't real. If it's possible to stay her whole life without seeing Maynard, she'd love it that way. The city is a big one, it's impossible to see Maynard anywhere especially since she's a celebrity and keeps her identity hidden wherever she goes because of some crazy fans out there.

".. But, we're never going to the bar to drink again, do you know how hard it was for me to drive you back home?" Lucy changes the topic.

Olivia grins widely, getting ready for more scolding but before Lucy could get the chance, the doorbell rang.

"Are you expecting someone?"

"None that I can remember. Go check it out sister, I need to freshen up..." Olivia stands and begins to push Lucy out.

She freshens up and joins Lucy after a while who was already having breakfast.

"Who was that at the door?" She asked, taking her seat.

"No one, I think it's just some kids trying to play us some prank" Lucy responded.

The sisters began to eat while chatting about random things when the knock came again. They ignore it at first but the anonymous person didn't stop knocking.

Lucy made to go get it but Olivia stops her.

"I'll have a look myself. If I find those kids, I'll surely give them some scolding"

Olivia pulls the door open, expecting to see kids or something but what she saw was a banquet of flower and a gift bag. She needs no soothsayer to tell her that it's her anonymous fan who keeps sending threatening messages.

She looks around, maybe she could get a glimpse of that person but there's no one around. Olivia would have thrown them away this instant but curiosity filled her as she wonders what could be inside the gift bag this time.

Taking the flower and the bag, she reads the attached letter which was filled with threats.

*You have no where to run to anymore. I'll always be watching you like a hawk. You can't escape me this time!! - Your biggest fan*

Who the heck is this biggest fan of hers that can't leave her alone in peace. He's becoming a threat and a thorn in the flesh. It wasn't like this when she was acting in the past why would it start now that she's back into acting?

She pulls out whatever was in the gift bag and upon seeing it, her eyes grew wide in shock and cold shivers ran down her spine as she lets out an earthshaking squeal.....

"Ahhhh!!!!..."

~♠~♠

Maynard fix his tie in front of the mirror. He didn't get enough sleep last night and he had to apply pomade on his face to get rid of the dark circles underneath his eyes.

He's greatly disturbed and not in a good mood. Since last night, he has been asking himself if he should simply believe what he felt at the bar or he should simply just let it go since it can be just some random lady with familiar voice as Olivia.

That could be it..

He didn't realize when Vernes walked in until she wraps her hands around him from behind.

"Vernes... What are you doing here?"

The smile on Vernes face vanished and she looks at him with a frown. "Seriously? Are you seriously asking me that? Did you forget our planned two days vacation? Just you and I?"

Maynard takes her hands off and rubs his eyes but Vernes went on and on...

"My luggage is downstairs and am so excited about this.. We can spend more days right?.." The excitement returns to her face.

"About that Vernes...It totally skipped my mind. But we have to cancel that"

"Why? We made plans for that already!! We can't just cancel it!" A huge glare appeared on her face.

"Am not in the right state of mind to go on vacation with you. Yes, we made plans but it's cancelled. I have so much on my mind right now and vacations won't help...." He reaches for his wristwatch.

"So what do I do with my luggage then?"

"Unpack them..."

Vernes was visibly angry, she couldn't believe Maynard would just cancel their vacation plan for no good reason at all, after everything she plans on doing, he just ruined her plans.

"See you when I return Vernes. And if you're bored, just watch TV or anything..Am off"

Vernes angrily and painfully watch Maynard leave.
