After realization, I looked away staring at sky filled with thousands of star.

Turning my eyes towards Mr Maxwell , he was in a deep thought. He must have felt my gaze that he turn his neck to look at me.

Not sure what to say, I just smiled at him.

I don't know what came over me, I shifted closer to him resting my head on his shoulder. I felt him tense under my touch but soon after he placed his arms around me pulling me closer.

No one spoke, the silence was comfortable. Both of us gazing at star and enjoying each other's company.

Suddenly my phone started to ring, it was Freya.

"Hello best friend. How is your date going?" She asked as soon as I answered the call

"Uhh good?" It sounded more like a question. I was nervous to talk about Mr Maxwell around him

"Oh I got it. Tell me everything when you reach home" she said excitedly

"Yeah now bye" I ended the call. Turning my attention back to Mr Maxwell.

"What date is today?" I asked him

"22nd Nov, why?" He asked back while slowing rubbing his hands on my shoulder

"Actually, Shawn Mendes: In wonder documentary is coming on Netflix tomorrow" I said loving the warmth of his body

"You must really like him?" he asked, gazing at me

"vey much" I quickly said

"Oh"

"Yeah" and again we fell in silence.

"C'mon it's getting late" he said after a while standing up.

"Okay" I took his hand and stood up gathering all the litters, making a mental note to throw them in garbage container.

Settling ourselves inside the car, buckling up the seatbelt, Mr Maxwell drove off towards my apartment.

I looked outside the window, thinking that how beautiful the night turned out to be.

But one thought kept coming in my mind, he didn't say or express his feelings towards. Was it just a kiss?

Oh Olivia don't go there, you will ruin your best night. My subconscious yelled at me.

"What's going on that pretty little head of yours?" Mr Maxwell asked looking at me with his scrutinizing eyes.

"Nothing" I said fidgeting with my fingers

He eyes shifted towards my fingers and then be slowly he slipped his hand intertwining his fingers with mine tightly.

I tried to hide my goofy smile while looking at our intertwined hands.

Butterflies danced in my stomach every time he draw small circles from his thumb. Slowly looking at him from the corner of my eyes, to see he has a small smile playing on his lips

I can't stop smiling, so I looked away shifting my eyes towards the tall buildings we are passing by.

He stopped the car when we reached my place. My smile faded when I realized the moment is about end.

Mr Maxwell opened the door for me, thanking him I hop out of the car. We started to walk towards the elevator. We were the only one inside the elevator, I was more nervous now, yes we were alone in car too but alone in elevator is veryyy different thing.

"I-" before Mr Maxwell can speak the elevator door dings.

I heard him cursing under his breath, motioning his hand forward asking me to walk first.

When we reach my apartment's door, we stood there for a while, both of us not saying anything.

"I-" we both started at the same time

"You speak first" again we both said together

Chuckling, Mr Maxwell asked to me speak first.

"I had a great time, Mr Maxwell" I said but he eyed at me,"Charles. I had a great time Charles" I corrected biting my tongue inside my mouth

He smiled showing his lovely dimples

"Same here" he took a step forward, leaning his head down.

my breath hitched, waiting for his lips but instead I felt his warm lips on my forehead. This warm feeling swirl all over my body.

"Goodnight Olivia" he said softly once he back away.

"Goodnight" I whispered back.

He stuffed his hands on his pants pocket, smiling one last time, he turned around and started to walk away. I looked at his retreating figure till he entered the elevator.

Unlocking the door, I entered inside. Leaning against the door, smiling nonstop, touching my lips because I can still feel the tingle in them

"I knew it" Freya exclaimed loudly making me jump in surprise

"Freya you need to stop doing that" I yelled at her but she pretended not to hear that

"Tell me everything, tell me everything" she begged grabbing my hands and taking me to seat on the couch

"Okay" that stupid smile started to play again in my lips

***************

My alarm goes up, making me groan in sleep. Opening my eyes slowly a smile started creeping on my lips. I sat stretching my arms, looking out the window. It's still a little dark outside, I looked at time it read 6:30 in the morning.

I thought of going for a run, so I changed in track suit. I pulled my hair back in a tight pony tail then wore my sport shoes.

I grabbed my phone and earphones, and went downstairs. I woke Freya up and told her I'm going for a walk.

As soon as I walked out of the elevator, the cold breeze make me shiver. I opened my pedometer app clicking the start button then plugin my earphones on the morning playlist started to play.

I started jogging slowly as the song started to play.

I was out of breath, I put my hands on my knee taking deep breaths. Once I was feel good, I check my app. I have run 4 km.

My stomach growl from hunger, so I decided to walk home. While walking home back, I saw the restaurant and all the images came rushing back in my mind.

My body started to tremble, shaking my head to clear those thoughts out, I continued walking. He must be in jail now. You don't have to worry, Olivia. I told myself.

Unlocking the door, I walked inside placing the key on the nearby table.

"Freya you there?" It was almost 8 which means she has left for work

Sighing I walked to my room to take a shower. After shower, I changed into my comfortable clothes, walking down to eat something.

Settling for cereals, I grab a bowl and pour some milk and cereal in it. As I was about to take my first bite, the doorbell rang.

I put my bowl aside walking towards the door, thinking who it might be.

Peeking through keyhole I saw it was guy with a flower bouquet in his hands.

I opened the door, furrowing my eyes in confusion.

"Miss Olivia?" The delivery guy asked

"Yes, that's me"

"This is for you ma'am" the guy handed the bouquet to me.

It was light pink and white roses artfully arranged, sweet fragrance so alluring.

I know who this is from. I remember telling him my favorite flower is light pink rose. He remembered

"Thankyou" I thanked the guy closing the door.

There was a small note on the top of the bouquet.

"Be ready at 5 - C.M" it read.

I smiled ear to ear again smelling these beautiful aromatic flowers. My heart warming up from this sweet gesture.

I took a photo of it and send it to Freya. I placed the bouquet on the table and went to eat my breakfast.

"Omggggggg, he's so sweet" she instantly replied

I am smiling like a fool standing inside the kitchen.

"He asked me to get ready at 5" I texted back

"Wear something sexy, show him your sexy curves. Finallyyyyyy you will get laid today" she replied back

My eyes popped out in horror when I read her text

"God, Freya your mouth has no filter. Now bye I have work to do" I texted back and put my phone aside.

After I was done eating I went to my room, to search for some job. I can't sit and wait for a job proposal to show up.

It's been 3 hours of searching and fill up some applications form of companies that suited my interest. I also applied for some publishing company but I am not sure.

I was in middle of job hunt when my phone started to ring. I looked at the name, "hey Claudia"

"Hi Olivia, how are you doing?" She asked

"I'm good, you tell me. How are you and Liam?"

"Good but we miss you. It's different not having you around"

"Yeah. I miss you guys too"

I got to know the police came and arrested Mr. white now his son is looking after the restaurant. we talked for an hour when she said she had to go. Ending the call, I thought of getting ready.

I wore a skinny blue jeans, with White hoodie and a black over size coat. i hope this will work.

I didn't put much makeup, just moisturizer mascara and lipstick. My hair today is natural wavy so I just left it down.

The doorbell rang when I was wearing my black sneakers. I run downstairs to open the door, and my heart stop when I looked at the guy in front of me.

"Hi Olivia" he smiled showing his dimples

"Hi Charles" I replied shyly.
