7 FINALLY HERE...

Gavin was in his clinic in his session with a patient who called for an urgent appointment.

"So after seeing the dream, that you just described do you feel guilt towards your father?" Gavin asked his patient.

"Yes it feels like what I did in past with him is haunting me now it suffocates me and it really makes me feel isolated. It has been messing with my mind." Ally replied with a bitter look on her face.

"Ms. Ally what you are feeling is totally normal. You might be wrong at that time but you know how it was not your fault and admitting to your mistake is all that matters" Gavin assured ally.

"You mean there is nothing wrong with me? if i had been there for him at the time he needed me. he might be alive now." she was confused

"ally, Nothing is wrong with you it's just you are feeling guilty towards your Father because you are a good person that's why you are feeling this emotion which is all in your head. If you want peace of mind you need to let it go. what might have happened is not something you can change but you know what happened to your father was never your fault. you didn't want it to happen. i know how much you loved your father. "

she started to cry tear fall from her eyes as if they were always there to get out any moment." can I really move on?" she said while crying. Gavin took a tissue from the table and handed it to ally.

"Of Course you can. you are the strongest women I have ever known. You have faced many obstacles in your life but look at you now you have built your own empire out of nowhere. You can do anything. So just take my suggestion let it all out and let it go and smile for him and live a happy life for him. I am sure he never wanted her daughter to cry like this. " Gavin tried to encourage her.

"I guess you are right. i will try to do that. Thanks, Gavin, your word means a lot. I don't know how many times you have helped me" ally replied with a soft smile.

"It's my pleasure ally."

The session ended and Gavin said bye to ally as she left the door.

He turned back to check his phone which he put on silent and he saw 51 missed calls from Joe. He got shocked and thought to himself "what's going on? Joe never called this many times, is he okay?"

He called Joe right away. Joe picked up the call in just one ring.

"Gavin where were you? Why didn't you answer my call" Joe's voice sounds like he was running a marathon.

"I was in session with a patient what's wrong?" Gavin asked in concern.

"The police is here to arrest me and I need your help. Came fast to my café"

Gavin is in shock "what? What's going on?"

"Just come fast. You will know" Joe hung up the call.

Gavin took his jacket and left for Joe's café.

---

Gavin reached Joe's café and hurried to enter when he saw there were no customers and police was sitting on one of the tables and Joe is standing on the side shaking when he saw Gavin enter the café.

"You are finally here" Joe rushed toward Gavin and pulled his hand and walk towards the police.

"See he is all right and I was not lying and he is my friend. Why would I beat him up?" Joe said, The policemen looked Gavin up and down.

Gavin stood there confused and unaware of the situation. He finally opened up his mouth "Joe what's going on here?"

Joe was about to say something but cut by the policemen "are you Gavin?

"Yes, I am" Gavin replied in confusion.

Policemen "someone filed a complaint that owner of this café beat up and molested an employee named Gavin."

Gavin's eyes widened "what? Sir, he is not that kind of person and he is my friend. Who filed this complaint?"

"It was Mr. Mike And we have to arrest Mr. Joe here" The policemen replied.

"What? But you can see his accusations are false. I am right here and no one has beaten me up."

"Sorry sir but the complaint is filed we have to arrest Mr. Joe …unless Mr. mike take his complaint back." Policemen said firmly.

"This is wrong. How can you do this?" Gavin was furious.

The policemen took handcuffs out and walk towards joe. Joe turns to Gavin.

"Gavin do something. This will ruin my café's and my reputation. Please" joe pleaded to Gavin.

Gavin Is now looking more concerned and trying to find a solution. Suddenly he asked policemen to stop "sir you said if Mr. Mike takes his complaint back you will release him right?"

The policemen stopped and replied "yes"

"Okay, I'll talk to Mr. Mike. Can you tell me where he is?"

"Sure his office is few blocks away. You can go there and meet him" the policemen smiled.

Gavin took the instruction to Mike's office and reached there. He entered the building and went to reception. "Hello I am Gavin I would like to meet Mr. Mike"

The receptionist look at him and froze for a moment. Looking at a handsome and tall man before her, makes her flushed "s..ssir…d..do you have an appointment with him?" she replied with a big smile on her face.

"No, but it's urgent."

"Okay wait a moment." Then she took the phone and called someone and told the person on the other side that Mr. Gavin is here to meet you. Gavin realized it must be Mike on the other side. After few words, the receptionist hung up the call.

"Sir you can meet him. let me lead the way"

Gavin smiled and then followed her.

On the other side, Mike was just informed that Gavin is here. He was over the top happy and excited to see his angel.

"Finally you are here. I told you, you will come to me".

As he was thinking the door of his office opened and he saw his receptionist enter and then he saw a figure behind her. It was his angel. Mike nodded to his receptionist and she left.

Gavin recognized Mike from that harassment incident.

Gavin was furious and angry but he knew he needs to calm down for his friend's sake. He walked forward and reach toward Mike and held out his hand and said "hello I am Gavin. "

Mike was trying to hold back himself from hugging him or doing something inappropriate. He shakes Gavin's hand "hello Gavin, I am Mike."

Mike was looking at Gavin intensely as Gavin tried to let go of his hand. Then he said "can you let go of my hand"

Mike snapped and realized, he was holding Gavin's hand for too long. "Oh, I am sorry have a seat."

Mike went back to his seat and Gavin sat down across the table and instantly said "I think you have mistaken. You called the police on my friend for the crime he didn't commit".

Mike smirked "oh! my bad. So what can I do for you?"

Gavin wanted to yell at him but he holds himself "I want you to take your complaint back"

"I guess I can do that but what I will get out of it" Mike replied.

"Why are you doing this? What do you want?" Gavin is really confused with Mike's intentions.

Mike stood up from his seat and walk toward where Gavin was sitting and stand in front of him leaning on the table.

"A date. I want a date with you."

Gavin looked at him with wide eyes "What???? you did all this for a date? What makes you think I would go on a date with you? and you are a guy. Are you out of your mind?" Gavin replied frowning.

"Okay, so I won't take my complaint back. You can leave now" Mike smirked and walk back towards his seat.

Gavin's mind was rushing with thoughts he can't let his friend get arrested that will ruin his friend's business. It's just a date it won't harm anyone. After a date, I won't see this pervert again. At least Joe will be alright. After thinking.

Gavin took a sigh and said "okay I will go on a date with you. But I have conditions"

Mike faced Gavin with excitement "okay what are your conditions"

Gavin took a deep breath before speaking "first you take your complaint back. Second, you won't touch me. Third if on the date I get uncomfortable I'll leave"

"Is that all?" Mike asked

"Yes," Gavin replied.

"Okay, I accept your conditions. Give me your phone" Mike said & held his hand towards Gavin.

"What? Why?"

"Just give it to me I won't do anything weird I promise."

After reassurance, Gavin took out his phone and give it to Mike. Mike dialed a number and his phone bussed. He types something on his phone and gives back to Gavin "now I know your number and you know mine. So I'll contact you about the date and don't worry about your friend"

Gavin stood up taking his phone back and glared at Mike and then leave.

Mike smiled and picked up his phone and called someone "you did a good job now let Joe go. I'll send money to your account. I must say you are a good actor"

The guy on the other side replied "thank you, sir". Then Mike disconnected the call.

Mike hired some actors to act as police. And his plan worked. He got Gavin to reach him and now he is going to go on a date with him.

"I am going to fix my image and make you fall for me". Mike thought to himself.

Now all he needs to do is to prepare for the best date ever...
