Third person's pov

Oliver was waiting anxiously for Blu's reply whilst Josh was staring at him intensely. It had been 3 hours since the lawyer left and Oliver had been silent and seemed lost in his thoughts only answering the questions that Josh ask him.

Josh could notice the change in Oliver's energy everytime his phone beeps which after checking his atmosphere becomes gloomy. It was like he was waiting or expecting someone's call or message.

Josh : Oli...

Oliver : yeah.

Josh : Is something bothering you?

Oliver : No....it's nothing. I'm fine.

Josh : sigh!

Oliver : what?

Josh : it's just.....sigh...you've always looked calm and composed but right now you....it's just not you.

Oliver : you're just over thinking. It's nothing like that.

Josh : ' I hope I'm just over thinking Oli. '

Oliver : ' why isn't he calling me yet. Didn't the lawyer inform him? What if he refuse to meet me or completely ignore what I said? Do you hate me now that you don't even want to meet or at the least even call me ? Why is it bothering me so much? What do I hate the idea of this divorce so much? My head is in complete mess '

Josh : emmm...Oli

Oliver : ' do I have to see a psychiatrist? I should consult the mess in my head with someone but who... '

Josh : OLI....( slightly raise his voice)

Oliver : (startle)...oh my! You scared me there...phew! What is it?

Josh : sorry. I had been calling out to you so many times but you were just not listening..emmm...want me to make a cup of coffee for you.

Oliver : that'd be wonderful. Thanks (smile)

Josh : ' at least he smiled now. I was starting to get worried..sigh'... Okay, I'll be in the kitchen.

Oliver : alright.

After having their coffee, they sat in the living room watching some moives though Oliver's attention would always turn to his phone as if anticipating for something.

Without noticing the sun had already set and Oliver was at the edge now. His aura was scary. He looked like he would flip at any moment.

Josh : ahh(stretch his arms) the movie was great isn't it?

Oliver : yeah, i guess.

Josh : oh!  The sun has already set. Time sure flies quickly huh..

Oliver : Really? I find it so slow today. It's like the time has cease to exist

Josh : Is it because I'm here? Do you need some time alone? ( looks down on the floor)

Oliver : what!  No. You're misunderstanding. I could never be troubled by your presence.

Josh : Are you being honest?

Oliver : of course I  am. It's just that I have some thoughts that are disturbing me but it has nothing to do with you. Don't overthink . Okay! (smile)

Josh : That's a relief. Then I'll prepare you dinner before I leave ( smile)

Oliver : That'll be wonderful. Why don't we have the dinner together. I don't want to have it alone.

Josh : sure. I'd be happy to( smile) I'll be in the kitchen.

Josh was in the kitchen preparing for dinner and Oliver was setting the plates in the dinning table. Soon everything was set and as they took a  seat to have their dinner  Oliver's phone in the living room started ringing.

Oliver got up from his seat immediately and rushed to his phone like a child rushing to an ice cream truck.

Ring...ring..ring..

Blu : hello..

Oliver : yes, I was waiting for your call(smile)

Anyone could see the change in Oliver's attitude. His face was now glowing and his eyes were beaming. His gloomy mood from earlier has completely disappeared. He looked excited.

Blu : emm...the lawyer said that you didn't sign the papers. Why?

Oliver : Is  that all he said?  I remember telling him something more...smirk

Blu : sigh!  What do you want? Why do you want to meet up with me?

Oliver : ......I don't know

When Oliver said this, it was more like a whisper but it was heard clearly by Blu and it confused him.

Blu : huh?

Oliver : just meet me alright. I don't want to argue any further..' shit. That wasn't  how I intended to say. I just didn't know how to get him to agree to it. Shit'

Blu : If you hate arguing with me so much then why do you even want to meet me. You know we're going to end up arguing.

Oliver : 'don't jinx it .will you! Sigh'

.....I'll pick you up at 7pm. Get ready by then.

Blu : Are you even listening?  And why is it at 7pm. It's too late.

Oliver : well, who has their dinner so early before 7...

Blu : Dinner? Why are we going to have dinner?

Oliver : because I said so.

Blu : No.

Oliver : what do you mean no? ( raises his eyebrows)

Blu : I don't have to give you a reason.

Oliver : Then I'm coming to get you at 7pm like I said.

Blu : Are you even listening? I said I won't have dinner with you.

Oliver : I'm coming to get you anyway. Be ready by then.

Blu : sigh! You don't have to come. Just send me the address.

Oliver : ' do you think I'm a fool. Like I won't know that you current man will drop you. Like hell I'll let him'

I'm coming to pick you up tomorrow. Just be ready.

Blu : you..

Before Blu could make any objections Oliver cut him off.

Oliver : I'm hanging up. I have to make reservations for tomorrow. Bye..

Beep....beep..beep

Blu : ' what is wrong with him? How am I suppose to tell Dave about this. He'll be in rage if he sees him. Why does he always have to make things difficult. Sigh!'

After Oliver hung up the call, he looked quite happy and satisfied. Like he got a big contract signed.

Josh : Your face is sparkling. Did something good happen? ( smile)

Oliver : yeah( smirk) can you schedule my meetings tomorrow too. I need to go somewhere.

Josh : okay but where are you going?

Oliver : somewhere ( smirk)
