CHAPTER NINETEEN.
Alyana and Oliver stood by the entrance of the chocolate shop looking exhausted.
"It's already getting dark and almost all the chocolate we made has been sold. It was a successful first day, Congratulations Oliver." Alyana saud bringing her hand forward for a handshake.
Oliver took her hands and pulled her closer making their faces an inch apart" That's it, what about a reward?" Oliver asked.
"What type of reward would you like?" Alyana asked.
"What do I want?" Oliver asked, looking at Alyana intensely, he moved his face forward like he was about to kiss her. Alyana did not understand where this was coming from, all she wanted was to kiss Oliver's lips badly.
Oliver was enjoying the way Alyana was looking at him, he loved teasing her because he wanted to be sure of how much effect he had on her.
"I would love to," Oliver let out whispering.
"You would love you what?" Alyana asked, looking at Oliver's lips as her legs became weak.
"I would love to celebrate today's success by having a drink with you," Oliver replied, cackling hard.
Alyana was embarrassed because all her attention was on Oliver's lips. Scratching the back of her neck she asked"Do you know a good place we can go to celebrate?"
"Yes, I do, follow me," Oliver said walking off as Alyana placed her hands on her cheek to get rid of the burning sensation she felt before following him.
They both entered the bar at the same time and got a table to seat. They both ordered their drinks.
"This special cocktail is for this amazing beauty who happened to be with my friend tonight," Oliver's friend Carlos let out.
"Alyana, meet my friend Carlos and Carlos this is Alyana," Oliver introduced both of them to one another.
"Nice meeting you Carlos," Alyana said, shaking Carlos's hand.
"It's a great pleasure meeting such an elegant beauty," Carlos let out before pecking Alyana's hands earning a smile from her and a light punch from Oliver.
"Ouch man," Carlos said laughing.
"Stop it, Carlos," Oliver said.
"Oliver has told me many things about you Alyana, I am so happy I finally got to meet you," Carlos mumbled.
"Oh Really!" Alyana said glancing at Oliver.
"Carlos, you better get back to work before Mr. Wade gets grumpy, shoo and let us be," Oliver said shoving Carlos playfully.
"Do you frequent here?" Alyana asked curiously.
"Not really, I go here only when I need money just like the other day, I was here working my ass off, I wasn't on a date with Violet." Oliver let out laughing.
"I am pretty sure this is where you take your girlfriends for a drink," Alyana muttered, ignoring Oliver's comment about the other night.
"You can choose to believe me or not Alyana but I haven't brought anyone here, you are the first." Oliver clarified before consuming his drink.
Alyana couldn't say anything again so she focused on the performance some dancers were doing. Oliver couldn't help it as he kept on sneakily looking at Alyana, she caught him looking at her countless times making her smile. Oliver placed his hands on Alyana's entangling them together, it made Alyana blush so much.
Later when it was getting very late, Alyana said to Oliver that she had to get going before it got darker. Alyana offered to pay for the drinks but Oliver refused to let her. After arguing, it was decided that Oliver paid.
The alley was quiet and cold, Oliver glanced at Alyana and saw she was shivering so he placed his arms around her shoulder pulling her closer to him. His gesture made her uncomfortable so she moved further away. He didn't want to stop so he held her hands into his and she quickly freed her hands from his.
Oliver quickly moved to her front blocking her from walking away.
"Hold on Alyana, is something wrong?" Oliver asked.
"Nothing is wrong, I am not just used to things like this," Alyana replied looking down.
"Things like what?" Oliver asked.
"I don't know, things like holding hands when walking and having your arms around my shoulder when nothing is going on between the two of us," Alyana replied looking down.
"Are we just friends, Alyana?" Oliver asked, giving rise to Alyana to look up.
"Yes, Right?" Alyana answered not sure of her answer.
Oliver gently placed his hands on her face before saying"Before I met you I didn't think I was even capable of real happiness, all that changed when you walked into my life. Whenever I am with you I feel complete and I always want to make you happy even in the slightest way, believe me when I say I love you Alyana. Whenever I don't see you, I feel sick, and when you misunderstand me I want to always clear your doubt against me. I don't know when it started but I want you to be mine now and forever," Oliver confessed, placing his lips against Alyana's, it was like the world stopped for Alyana.
The kiss was passionate, making Alyana crave for more but she didn't want to act shamelessly so she pulled away gently, breathing shakenly.
"So what are we now?" Oliver asked.
"More than friends, I guess?" Alyana replied shyly, making Oliver chuckle.
"I love you so much Alyana, you complete me," Oliver said, pulling her into a hug.
"I love you too Oliver," Alyana replied, hugging him tightly.
Was this how it felt to be loved?" Alyana asked herself. She felt satisfied and didn't want this time. She felt safe in Oliver's arms and didn't want to let go.
Soon her driver arrived and they bid each other goodbye even though they didn't want to let go.
Oliver was glad Alyana also loved him, he knew she liked him but was scared of still getting rejected by her. The love he has for Alyana was driving him crazy and he didn't want to waste any time, he wanted to spoil her like the queen that she was, The Queen Of His Heart.
