Chapter 7
Olivia walked into the reception area of the airport and she was kind of confused about how vast it was. She practically didn't know anyone around, nor the people she was even coming to meet. Heaving a slight sigh, she stood for a moment in confusion waiting for her head to calm down. It is kind of awkward and forgetful of her not to have checked the man's picture.
For a moment, she didn't know what to do and where to go, so walked towards the baggage section of the airport in hopes of getting her luggage. For a moment, Olivia was confused, it was kind of frustrating, and there is nothing they can even do about it. The frustration that blew up in her mind was just not ordinary, her eyes sprouted with tears but then, she didn't want anyone to see her watery eyes so she definitely had to suck it up and move on with life.
The first idea that came through her mind was that she can rent a hotel while she calls Jordan to tell the birthday guy that she has arrived. Lile seriously, this is the first time that she is coming to a place and there are not a million of people to welcome her, oh yes! she knows that the man said she wanted private, but at least, she has to be there.
Shaking her head violently, Olivia just wanted to shift these crazy thoughts from her mind because they were not helpful, hell no! they weren't helpful at all. All the times that she has being invited away from home, from the moment when she arrived at the airport, everything is just being so real, she always sees many people holding up banners for her as a welcoming sign, some people even offer her roses. And oh! she use to feel the love. This is quite the same thing she had expected it to happen just now, and not just some man ditching her in this manner.
'Maybe he had his own preoccupations and forgot about you, Olivia,' she said to herself.
Immediately the words shot through her mind, she widened her eyes in shock. Her luggage had not yet come so she had quite a second to stand there waiting for it, thus, she wanted to try that crazy idea that just shut through her mind.
'Olivia, just search the man through on the internet and see how handsome or ugly he is, but I guess he is one jerk,' she said to herself.
At other times, this would have to be the best joke she has ever made to herself, but today, she wasn't finding this shit funny, hell no, not at all. Sighing, she just wished she could brush her mind aside from all these.
Well, that is just for the moment, as long as she is here, she definitely has to deal with the man's guts.
Manager Jordan had assured her that the man she is coming to sing for is turning thirty. At thirty, that is quite the blossoming age for any young man of that age, and that is quite cool, just that she doesn't want anything to do with all these men she is actually coming to sing for.
One of her rules is never to date her fans or any body that picked on her because of her talent and popularity. Hell no! This is the reason why she is still single at twenty-three. Well, she has had a failed relationship before, the pain was so much for her to bear, that's not quite true because the young man at the time was in charge of the stage props in the concerts she had to attend for that period of time, his name was Michael, he was neat, handsome and had Italian roots. Like seriously, he loved her, so he said, and at first, Olivia had to be reprehensible to his advances, she just didn't want anything to do with him, and the way he had gone about with her, in the most horrible manner, he didn't even want to date her, what did he want? a night with her, in his bed.
Olivia was against it, and she can't say during the week she spent with the man could be called 'Love' it was just a child's play, oh yes! that is what it is, or more looks like. The most important thing that she has ever got to do for herself, the stress was too much, more than she can even afford it, and the stress from it is just too much, more than she could even support it. Through out that period of time, the lady had being traumatized, and what did Jordan do? he definitely had to straighten the matter.
"Olivia, if you do not give in to some certain things, you will end up as an old virgin," Manager Braxton always murmured to her.
It was kind of awkward to hear that several times, but now, it doesn't matter, and now that she is old enough to face the man, what does she do each time the man throws that sat in front of her face? Of course, she gives him a very good piece of her mind too.
"Me. Braxton, it is better I die an old virgin than to get entangled to the wrong man," Olivia always says while rolling her eyes.
And then, they will both burst out laughing. It is quite funny that all these things had to happen to her, but then, she just brushes her mind from it and smiles slightly. This is the most important thing in her life, but then, she has to just sweep these things from her mind, she definitely found it funny, too funny for her to get mad at the young man in front of her.
Quite funny how things turn out this way, but then, what can she do? nothing, absolutely nothing at all.
As she sighed, Olivia was just at a point of confusion, it didn't matter who looked at her, she was just happy that she had arrived at night, many people wouldn't see her or more, notice her, but then, it didn't matter because people will still notice her no matter how she hides, and that is quite normal. She is a celebrity, a very big one for that. The many people who were around her tried as much to mind their business, and although the airport was now shining with millions of light above her head, the filling of emptiness filled her head.
What she wanted the most was just to grab her box and walk away from this place, but the more she checked for her box, it wasn't coming.
And, the box was attached to her guitar, thus, she waited for it peacefully for it to come. Her box was colored pink, the gel was chosen by her, and since the company she owns was hers and also Braxton, they had dyed it pink for her. She was amazed when they decorated it with pictures of herself, in several concerts, it was just too pretty to be called a real one, she loves it so much, but can't even say otherwise. The joy from it was sweet, she likes it, of course, and her guitar bad was painted purple. Those two colors happen to be her best, and also her favorite logo was the guitar and a microphone.
'Like seriously, what is life without music?' she asked herself in awe.
The answer was an obvious one, everyone could pick that out, and in deed, life was nothing without music, and to say her voice was angelic was the least anyone could tell her about it. She likes the sound of her own voice in her ears, it is just magical, it has one healing effect on the soul and she has got more than a million testimonials about her own voice, it is awkward, yet, what can she do? nothing, absolutely nothing at all. Heaving a sigh that seemed to be clutched in her throat, Olivia knew that she had to do something before she remains stranded for too long in the airport.
Actually, she needs to know if the young man is coming to pick her up or not, if the answer is no! then she has to bord herself a hotel room, from the start, she had already said it that she will be responsible for her accommodation and feeding, yes, she brought all her credit cards, and she is going to enjoy herself in Lendamor as long as she stays there. She deserves to be happy and that is the most essential part of all these things, her happiness is what matters, more, it is what she counts on, and there is no doubt about that.
As she heaved a sigh once more, the young lady decided to go back to her primitive thoughts, that is, to stare at the man's picture since she hasn't met him before. That will be quite a great feeling if she actually does all those things, the feeling was quite strong, more than what she has ever gotten to feel before.
Well, she has to consider it as a prime factor, to herself, and do it as much as she wants it. As she braced her mind around these things, she just wanted to let her mind let go, there is no doubt that she has to check on the man, and who knows, she might have passed in front of him unknowing of the fact that he is the one Just things about this, she was in a haste to dig her hand in her little bag and take off her phone, the first thing she did when she opened the phone was to direct herself to the search icon of her phone.
Her heartbeat was now slightly beating, it was kind of accelerating and the worst of it being that she doesn't even quote knows what awaits her.
It is only his name she knows, and thus, that will be quite a great time doing a little bit of research on him right now, it doesn't matter if he is late or not, the only thing that matters is that he wants to at least have a name part on it, the effect was too much, so much that she had to take long gulps down her throat. The effect was just kind of awkward.
The moment she grabbed her phone and tapped the name, Ashon Hendrix of Lendamor.
Boom every detail about the man popped up on her screen and her eyes widened as she saw the young man there, for a full whole minute, Olivia's mouth was open, oh yes! the pictures she saw just caught her back, the man was hot, handsome and she felt like they were meant together. It was just her thoughts that were going on crazily in his mind, it was just getting the best out of her, the way her thoughts were already going all crazy is aomething that she can't even think about it, oh yes.
Olivia held the phone for quite some time and her head was slightly bowed down, it was magical, amazing, and she kind of admired the guy in the picture. She doesn't know if it was right drolling over the man but then, she just found herself doing so. Olivia was now absent if her surrounding, she didn't care to know those where with her or against her, staring at her with either scorn or disgust, or more, discontentment, she just wanted to be left alone drolling over this man but then, she has to move on from this position in which she is, the Intention was to see the man and not droll over him, but this seems to be a failed move because now that she is here, the only thing crossing her mind right now is that she needs to see him.
