EPISODE 106
“Okay, now let’s go from here,” Oliver said before gesturing Erica to walk beside him.
When Erica hesitated for a while, Oliver helplessly shook his head and said “Don’t insist me to carry you.”
“I —”
“Shhh, let’s talk in our car,” Oliver said and held her hand before walking out of the store
“What happen, honey,” Andy asked
Amy pouted her lips and said stretched her hands “Lift me up, hubby.”
Andy chuckled and lifted her up “You are looking, different babe.”
Amy pinched his cheeks and said “I bought new lingerie today.”
“So, you want me to rip it off tonight?” Andy asked
“Can’t you talk decently?” Amy slammed his chest and said
“We already did many indecent things honey, talking indecently is just a piece of cake.” Andy shamelessly said.
“Cake reminds me, I want to eat butterscotch cake, honey,” Amy said
“You already ate the whole cake in the morning but still you craving for it?” Andy asked
“Yeah, I want to eat,” Amy stated
“Don’t you worry about weight?” Andy asked
“What is there to worry when my hubby loves me more if I turn bubbly?” Amy smiled and said
“That’s true but I’m strict with your health,” Andy said
“Just one day and I won’t ask for a cake up to two weeks.” Amy pouted get lips and said
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, honey.” Amy excitedly said
…..
*Inside Oliver’s car*
The atmosphere in the car was extremely silent and awkward. Both of them want to talk about something but they felt their throat dry. They want to sort everything out and start a new thing between them but at the same time, they are so shy to confess.
After thinking for quite some time, Oliver decided to take a lead.
“Chocolates?” Oliver asked
“What?” Erica asked
“I mean —” Oliver bent towards her and opened the drawer to take chocolates out from there.
“Wanna eat?” He asked
Erica smiled and took Chocolates from his hand and said “Thank you.”
“Can I ask you something?” Oliver asked
When Erica nodded her head, he asked “Why didn’t you stood up for you? I mean it isn’t your fault right?”
Erica sighed and said “I felt guilty over loving that idiot and I also think that I’m at fault.”
Oliver shook his head and said “Always remember one thing, If you won’t stand up for you then no one will come forwards to take a stand.”
Erica smiled and said, “Thank you for taking a stand for me.”
Oliver smiled back and said “I will always take stand for you no matter what.”
When Erica’s cheeks turned red, Oliver smiled and said “You are looking beautiful.”
Awkwardly tucking hair behind her ear, she said “And you look handsome.”
He then suddenly stopped the car and took a deep breath.
“What happen? Why did you stop the car?” Erica asked
“C—Can we talk?” Oliver asked
When Erica nodded her head, he smiled and said “Let’s go to my apartment and talk.”
“Your apartment?”
“Yeah, If you don’t want to —”
Cutting Oliver off, Erica sighed and said “It’s okay, let’s go to your apartment.”
…
Erica smiled in satisfaction when she realised how organised his apartment is. Everything was perfectly organised and cleaned. She couldn’t help but praise him inwardly.
“I will bring juice for both of us” . Oliver said about to go towards the kitchen when Erica held his hand
“What happen?” Oliver asked
“C—Can I make some sandwiches and juice for you?” Erica asked
Oliver smiled and said “I would love to eat the food prepared by you but I will help you out.”
“Hmm, okay,” Erica said and walked towards the kitchen
…..
*After few minutes, Inside the kitchen*
“So, You like chicken?” Oliver smiled and asked
“Yeah, I love chicken.” Erica exceidlty said while licking her lips
Oliver almost lost his strong urge not to pull her towards him. It was very hard for him to control himself when she is beside him. Though he dated many girls but Erica is different to him.
Erica widened her eyes in shock when he pulled her closer
Erica gulped in nervousness and clutched onto his shirt and took a deep breath to calm herself down.
“Please don’t so that,” Oliver said in a husky voice
“Do what?” Erica asked
“Licking your lower lip and taking a deep breath to control yourself,” Oliver said
Tucking her hair stand behind her hair, he added: “It makes me hard to control myself.”
When Erica’s cheeks turned red, he caressed her cheeks and said “Can I say something?”
When Erica nodded her head, he sighed and said “I don’t know why but I hated commitments, relationships. I never took anything serious in my life. I had many flings and I dated many women but I never ever felt like this. It felt like heaven when you held my hand. I don’t know what is happening to me but I loved this kind of feeling. Will, you believe me if is say I didn’t kiss a woman after that incident between us? Will you believe if I say I deleted other woman’s number in my phone only to make you secure? Will you believe me if I say I cancelled all my dates because I didn’t felt it right?”
“Why do you think I won’t believe you?” Erica asked
Oliver shrugged his shoulders and said, “I don’t know, maybe I am overthinking.”
Erica sighed and said “I too don’t know why I am feeling the same way you are feeling.”
Pausing for a while, she continued “I used to be the best student in school but my mom completely changed me. I don’t know how and when she influenced me but I changed to the bad. I had no friends except mom. I used to think whatever she was doing is to make me happy. I used to think money is the only thing which will make life happy but my perspective got changed from the day when dad gave all the assets to sister Lisa. ”
She then took a deep breath and said “I’m not gonna lie, I liked my ex-boyfriend only for his money but things got changed when he showed his love towards me. I fell for him so hard but who would have thought that he will break my heart. It was very damn hard for me to get out of it. I worked very hard to overcome that phase and I started drinking a lot and ending up kissing a stranger, A stranger who was so caring and handsome. I won’t say that I didn’t felt anything when you touch me, you make my stomach churn with your cute smile but the question is Am I ready to accept this new thing? Am I ready to get into relationship?”
She clutched onto his shirt and said ” What if I act like a bitch again? What if I change too bad again? What if you too break my heart? What if you too hate me? I don’t want you to hate me. You know how I felt when you called me babe, it felt so right and I also felt sacred that those sweet words will vanish when you get to know about my past behaviour. I was worried, tensed.”
Oliver smiled and cupped her cheeks “You know what, I know everything about you but still I love you. I love you, honey. I don’t know whether this will last forever or not but still I want to give it a shot.”
When Erica didn’t say anything, Oliver smiled and said “You don’t have to answer me now okay. I am willing to wait for you. You can take your own time and answer. Just remember one thing, My love for you doesn’t change even after ages.”
When Erica blushed harder, Oliver groaned “Your blush seriously disturbs me a lot.”
“I love you.” Erica murmured and wrapped her arms around him
“What? What did you say?” Oliver asked. He wanted to confirm before assuming things out
“I love you.” Erica smiled and said
“You love me? I’m so happy for me.” Oliver beamed before lifting her up and swirling around
“Oh, let me get down,” Erica said when she left passing out
“I love you more honey,” Oliver said and placed her down
“I love you too but let me cook for now,” Erica said and turned around.
