Oliver had ordered Chinese Take-out. It smells and tastes really good. He was glad that I liked the food. He assured me that if I don't like it, we can order something else, but I really liked it and there is no point ordering anything else because he ordered way too much.
"Are you done with your work?" I questioned as we were eating.
"Almost." He said sheepishly. "I was hungry and I thought you would be too."
I nodded my head. I just realized that Oliver had changed into casual clothing consisting of a sweat-shirt, black skinny jeans and a sneaker. He look so much better and younger in casual outfit and he noticed I was staring at his outfit and he said,
"The suit was way too up-tight for me." He said.
I nodded my head. "It suits you more than your formal wear."
He smirked. "You mean to say that I look so much better in these outfit that my usual."
I shrugged.
"You can just admit it.. I saw you staring at me. You might as well take my pictures and save it as your wallpaper on your phone."
I rolled my eyes and just continued eating.
"Did you submit your work for the New Artist event?" He asked.
"Yes." I said.
He nodded his head in approval. "I know you will win." He said too confidently. I wish I can be confident about it too, but I was not and he must have noticed that too.
"You will win for sure." He said. "Believe in yourself. Your work in amazing."
"I hope so..." I said smiling and really appreciatEd how he is supporting me.
"Where do you want to go for our date?" He finally asked nervously.
"I have no idea." I said honestly.
He laughed. "We both have no idea where we are going all the time, yet we have the most fun."
And then I realized that he was absolutely right about that.
"This time allow me to plan." I said because I had something on my mind. He give me an un sure look.
"Are you sure?" He asked.
"I know..." I said nodding my head. "But before dinner can we go somewhere too?"
"Like where?" He asked.
"That will be a surprise. Maybe spare me like your afternoon? 2 pm should be good too or 3 pm." I said quickly because I know he is a busy man..
"You know that I can cancel my schedule just for you." He said and my heart fluttered at his words.
"No." I said. "You can work in the morning, we can go when you are done or afternoon." I said.
He shook his head and laughed. "Okay. Just let me know what time." He said.
"It is actually up to you."I said.
He thought for a while.. "3 pm?"
I nodded my head. "Friday, 3 pm?" I confirmed.
"Sounds great!" He said smiling at me.
"Weekends I will be off to my parent's place and the weekend later I am leaving for Japan.. remember?" I asked and he made an 'O' sound like he just remembered.
"Your paper works are all done?" He asked.
"Lawrence said that I will be getting back my paper work, sometime in the middle of the next week and assured that everything will be as planned."
"That's good to hear. I hope you enjoy in this trip."
"And learn." I said.
"Of course." He smiled.
I have noticed he smiles more when we are alone together.. in office he give cold looks and glare.
"I will finish my work and I will drop you home. I am sorry for keeping you late." He apologized to me.
"That's fine. It is still 8." I shrugged. "I will continue with the book." I said after we cleaned the table and everything.
He nodded his head. I didn't go back to the library, but instead I sat on one of the couch and continued to read the book. Oliver was back to his serious self as he frowned at the file. I heard him huffed and muttered something as he flipped pages and marked some papers and doing something. It was 10 pm by the time Oliver was done and he apologized again and again and said he tried to make it as quick as possible. He didn't notice that time flew by so fast.
I assured him that I am totally fine with it and really didn't mind because I was so hooked up with the book too that I didn't realize the time too. He as promised drove me home. The whole way home was nice. We spoke about our likes and dislikes and then there was a brief comfortable silence until he was outside my apartment.
"I really didn't want to bring this up." He said as I was about to leave. "I hope you are still thinking through about what I asked before. I am happy with you and I hope you feel the same way. I want to try, just give us a chance." He pleaded.
"I am still thinking about it." I said, but actually I have made up my mind already.. I was just not ready to admit now.
"Please." He said.
"I will see you on Friday?" I asked him.
"Or maybe before? I don't know. There is too much work in the Comic Centre too." He said scratching his neck in nervousness.
"Maybe before." I said smiling. "See you. Goodnight and thank you for today."
"Thank you for today too." He said as he smiled back and waited for me to get inside the building.
"You make me happy too." I said as I saw his car retrieve from the drive way.
