Day Eight Part 2

Lillian spent the afternoon working in the garden with the gardener. It was relaxing and she just needed to chill.

Hard to believe it was just a week ago she entered into the the thirty day contract with Mr. Jake Smith Wolf. If anyone would of said that she would agree to marry this man she would of called them crazy.

As she was heading in for a drink of lemonade, Gege came out with her phone.

"It's for you Miss, Young Master Wolf." She handed the phone to Lillian.

"Hello" she said.

"Why do I have to call the maid when I want to talk to you?" He asked.

"I was working in the garden. My phone is on the charger." She said.

"You are supposed to be resting."

"I felt restless and working with the flowers help relax me." She made her way inside and sat at the kitchen counter.

"I called to check on you. What would you like for dinner; Gege will have the night off so I thought I would bring home some take out."

"I could go for some Thai food

Tom Yum Goong (Spicy Shrimp Soup)

Som Tum (Spicy Green Papaya Salad)

Gaeng Daeng (Red Curry)

Pad Thai (Thai style Fried Noodles) Gaeng Keow Wan Kai (Green Chicken Curry) do you need me to send you a text?"

He was laughing, "I think you should. I'll stop b y Fathers Thai House on my way home."

"Ok, I'll go get my phone and text you my order."

"Alright, Take it easy and know I love you." He said.

She was still shocked when he says I love you and she still could not say it back, "I will see you later bye."

She then handed the phone to Gege and asked for some lemonade. While Gege was getting it, Lillian got her phone and sent her order to Jake.

When she got back to the kitchen she asked, "So what are your plans tonight?"

Gege went red, "Going to a movie and Dinner with my Zane."

"You and Zane are dating?" Lillian was surprised.

"For two years now."

"I am happy to hear that. Is there any plans for marriage?"

"Yes, next year. We are waiting for my little brother to finish school over in Europe. I want him to be there to give me away."

"That sounds nice. Where are your parents?"

"They passed away many years ago in a plane accident. My brother was just a baby and I was a small child. My Aunt who worked for the Smiths took us in. Zane has help send my brother through school."

"I lost my parents in a plane crash too. I was rasied by my grandmother who passed away a few years ago. I wish I had someone to give me away." Lillian was feeling down now.

"Zane could do it. He said you were friendly with him in school and he really likes you."

"Ok, I'll ask him but won't he be the best man?"

"Oh I did not think about it. We will find a solution to your problem don't worry."

The afternoon went by fast and soon Zane and Jake walked into the house.

"Welcome home you two." Lillian said.

Home felt like a long lost word and made his heart fill with warmth. He walked over, pulled Lillian to him and kissed her.

"Lillian can we talk about something before dinner." Jake asked.

"Yes... Is something wrong?" She was getting a bad feeling.

"Please come sit down." He pulled her into the living room and sat her on the couch.

"Don't say anything till I done." Jake said taking her hand.

She just shook her head yes.

"As we talked about getting married soon it will still take a few months to get it all set up." He took a deep breath.

"So I was thinking that we could get married at the courthouse tomorrow then have the big ceremony in a few months. What do you think?"

She was shocked. What did she think? What should she say? She looked into his waiting eyes the stood up and ran upstairs.

He sat there... this was not the reaction he had seen coming. He got up and followed her up to their room. When he got there he could hear her vomiting in the bathroom. 'The thought of marrying him made her sick' He turned around and left. He decided to take a long drive.

Lillian was sick. She was not sure why it hit her so hard just then but she felt bad she did not have a chance to hive Jake her answer. Carrying a cold rag on her face she walked back down stairs.

"Where is Jake?" She asked Zane.

"I thought he was with you." Zane got up from the kitchen bar and went to look for Jake. He finally noticed one of the cars was gone. He tried to call but Jake did not answer.

"He left What happened?" Zane asked.

Just as she was about to tell him her world went dark again and she passed out. Zane and Gege drove her straight to the hospital.

While she was in the ER Zane tried to call Jake a dozen times. So with out any luck he called Grandpa Smith.

"Zane my son what do you need from this happy old man?"

"Pop, sir, I need you to fine Jake. Lillian is at the hospital and he won't answer my calls."

"I'll be right there and I'll try to get a hold of him."

It took Pop an hour to reach the hospital but in all that time Jake still would not pick up anyone call. So Pop called his friend the police commissioner to put an APB out to find his grandson.

With in the hour a cop spotted Jake's car and pulled him over. The officer explained that the city was looking for him that his grandfather was at the hospital and he needed to follow the officer there.

Jake thought something happened to Pop if he knew it was Lillian he would of not gone. He had decided to close his heart off and let her go.
