Chapter 30: Asking For A Date

Victoria's POV

When I heard the bell ring that signaled for our recess, I got out of our classroom in haste, pulled out my phone, and dialed my dad's number. As usual, I felt so frustrated when his phone kept ringing; on my third attempt, I released a deep sigh of relief when I heard my dad's baritone voice on the other line.

"Hello, Victoria, what can I do, for you, my dear?" He asked, and I felt frustrated that he didn't even ask how am I doing, but I knew he always had spies all around me, and I could tell he knew my every move.

"Hi, Dad, do you have a sec?" I asked, and my father laughed, and I realized how much I missed my parents.

"Of course, sweetheart, I always find time for you." He said, and I am afraid if he will bid goodbye before I can even tell him what I want.

"What do you want, Victoria?" He asked, and it took me a while before I finally got the courage to speak with my father.

"It is about, Oliver, you can't believe what I will tell you, dad. And I don't think you still have enough reason to let him stay in our house. He has a pet, Dad, and it is not an ordinary pet; it is a big grey wolf." I said, and my dad laughed, and I wonder how he can afford to laugh when I am having a hard time with Oliver.

"Dad, I am not joking, please, you have to evict him from our house; I don't like him because he is so full of himself, and now his wolf leaped at me, and I lost consciousness, and I almost fell in the ground," I said.

"Yeah, and Oliver saved you, my dear." He said, and I realized my father knew about it, and I couldn't believe Oliver had already informed my father what had happened, and he was there, and he left me inside his room with the wolf, and he didn't even bother to wake me up. He is unbelievable, and I couldn't believe Oliver left me in his room without thinking something might happen to me.

"Dad, please, I hate him," I said, and my father chuckled on the other line.

"You don't hate him, Victoria, you like Oliver, and you have to accept that and don't fight your feelings for him." My father responded, and I could feel my limbs were shaking.

"That is ridiculous, dad, I don't like Oliver, and it will never happen in a million years that I will like him." I declared.

"Victoria, I would never trust Oliver to look after you if I didn't know he is good and harmless; you have to believe me, sweetheart; you needed Oliver in your life." He said, and I couldn't believe Oliver brainwashed my father to trust him this much; how can my dad trust someone like him? And I wanted to add, it was my heart I was afraid to get hurt, but there is no way I will tell my father about how I felt towards Oliver.

"Hey, I know you are upset, my dear, but don't worry, your mom and I are coming home on your birthday." He added, and my face lit up, and my complaint about Oliver had temporarily forgotten as I could feel the excitement of seeing my parents again after a long time.

"Are you sure, dad?" I asked, unable to believe his words.

"Yes, sweetheart, on the day before your birthday, we will be there; we are coming home." He said, and even if I used to be so strong and I seldom cry, this time I could no longer contain the tears of happiness from falling on my cheeks.

"Thank you, dad; I couldn't wait to see you both," I replied.

"Me too, Victoria, we missed you so much; I want to ask you to be friends with Oliver, he is a good man, and he will never harm you, my dear; it was actually the opposite." He said, and if I am only close with my dad, I am sure I will open up to him about how I feel towards Oliver.

I became distant when they failed to come home during special occasions, and I felt upset since they always told me they would go home. They ended up calling me at the last minute that they couldn't do it, and I am afraid if the same thing will happen on my eighteenth birthday, and I was only hoping this time my dad would keep his words.

"Hey, are you okay?" Lana asked when she found me looking into space while I was still holding my phone in my hand, and I slowly shook my head.

"It seems like I can never get rid of Oliver Prize; my father didn't faze when I told him about Oliver and his pet," I said, and Lana smiled at me.

"It feels like my parents love him, and they never realize I am suffering," I said.

"Are you sure you are suffering? Or is it your heart?" She asked, and I weakly smiled at her, knowing Lana could see through me.

"Hey, don't lose your hope, Victoria; even the new guy is crazy about you, all the girls are circling over him, yet he was only curious about you. He asked them everything about you, from

your favorite color to your favorite food, and I can tell he is not only interested to know all about you, but he was crazy about you, Victoria." She said, and I shook my head.

"I don't want to use him, Lana," I said as I realized I couldn't do it, I was only upset with Oliver; that is why I thought I could use Declan's presence to get back at my archenemy, but I know my conscience will haunt me, so I better stop what I was thinking.

"Well, you will not be using him; just try dating him, Victoria; it is about time, don't wait for your birthday to come to have a date; it was only a date anyway." My best friend said.

"Don't make me laugh, Lana, as if I have time to date; you know I am so busy studying our lessons plus the incoming math competition adds to my stress," I responded.

"You have to admit, and it was because of Oliver. Just ignore him all you can, Victoria; besides, I could tell he is now feeling so jealous about Declan since the new hot guy is transparent about his intention towards you." Lana said.

"And I know you can nail it, Victoria, plus being with Oliver, I don't think you will get a wrong answer; we can't deny, Oliver is a genius." My best friend added.

"And I could tell Oliver was pissed when he realized you gave Declan special treatment. Everyone knew you don't give a damn to any guy, but offering Declan a tour is something else." She added, and I couldn't stop my heart from hoping what Lana said was true, but I don't think Oliver has feelings for me; it would be impossible to tame him.

I was surprised to learn that Declan is my classmate in the majority of my subjects, and I noticed Oliver was quiet during our classes, and I hadn't seen him with Keisha; he was walking alone in the corridors looking so hot while the girls were gaping at him on the sideline, and how I wish I were walking beside him while we were holding hands.

"Stop drooling over him, Victoria; it would be obvious that you like Oliver Prize," Lana whispered, and I tried to look away and focus on my best friend as we walked towards the Academy's garden where we will be eating lunch; I promise to meet Declan on the library after fifteen minutes.

I ate my lunch in silence, and I couldn't wait to come home and spend time with Oliver's pet. I couldn't deny I became so drawn to his wolf. And when I was finished eating my sandwich, I excused myself from Lana, and I walked towards the library without carrying my bag; I left everything to my best friend, including my phone.

"Thank you, Victory, for showing me around," Declan said as we walked through the hallways; and he was towering over me, and I couldn't stop thinking about Oliver while we were touring around the campus.

And forty-five minutes will never be enough, I only showed him the important buildings of our school, and when I looked at my wristwatch again, it was almost time. I asked him to come with me to our first period in the afternoon since I learned we are classmates in my first subject in the afternoon.

We were running, and I was panting, and when we got inside our classroom, I felt my knees felt so weak when I found Oliver seated next to my chair, and he was reading my book, and my eyes scanned our classroom to look for Lana, and when I saw her, she only shrugged her shoulders.

"What are you doing with my books, Prize?" I asked in a stern voice.

"Relaxed, Victoria, I saw Lana with your things, I only helped her, and since I didn't bring any books, I borrowed your mathematics textbook, I was hoping we could study at the library during lunch break, but I could tell you were busy flirting with the new guy." He said, and I could feel my anger in my veins.

"You have to be careful with your words, Prize," I said as I tried to lower my voice.

"Why, what will you do to me, Ms. Winner?" He asked, and his hypnotizing eyes zeroed on my lips, and I couldn't stop myself from biting my lower lip as I tried to stop myself from throwing myself at him, and losing my sanity is not an option right now.

I couldn't deny Oliver's proximity is giving me goosebumps, and his intoxicating masculine scent is driving me nuts, and I don't know how to deal with him anymore because I know every time he is near me, I couldn't resist the pull, and the urge to

kiss him is killing me, and I could feel my body shiver when he whispered in my ear.

"I want to have a date with you, Victoria, if you will only give me a chance, I will show you the real me, and I know I was a jerk, but I wish you will give yourself a chance to know me, and you have to believe me, Victoria that I can make you the happiest woman in the world." He said before he stood up and left me dumbfounded, and I couldn't believe Oliver Prize would ask me

to have a date with him.

My heart danced with happiness while I tried to contain the excitement I felt, and I was in a haze as his words sank in.. When I raised my head, I found Declan looking at Oliver, and the anger on his face was visible, and I could see that Declan curled his fists on his sides, and I heard him growl at Oliver, and the next thing that followed made me jumped on my feet.
