Chapter 37: How To Win His Heart

Victoria's POV

"Hey, relax, Victoria." I heard my best friend say the moment she answered the video call, and she was giving me a skeptical look.

"How can I relax when Oliver told me he will come over to my room and study with me?" I asked as I tried to rummage through my closet, looking for a perfect dress to wear. I just got out of the shower, and I was only wearing a towel wrapped around my frame.

"You have been dreaming for that moment to come, and now you are acting like you don't know what to do anymore," Lana said, and I gave her hard stares.

"Victoria, no matter what you wear, you will always look great. You are beautiful, and I am sure Oliver will never give a damn if you wear a rug." She added.

"I know I am crazy for thinking that Oliver was beginning to like me, but any girl can wish for the best right? Besides, I don't know how to control myself anymore. I could feel my legs were shaking from the moment he asked me." I responded, and Lana was laughing hard at me.

"What was so funny, Lan?" I asked her as I put my hands on my hips.

"Of course, it's you, don't you know you look so funny right now? I have never seen you so stressed out because of some hot guy; you will always stay calm and relaxed. You used to have boys running after you," She answered, and my face saddened as I realized Oliver was the only guy on campus who didn't show interest in me.

"I know, Lana, and I hate to think that I am beginning to get crazy because of him. He is the only boy who made me feel this way." I responded, and she smirked.

"I don't think you are falling for a boy, Victoria, but with a hot young man, can you see how he act? I don't find Oliver looked like those boys at the Academy, he seemed so different, and it feels like he is older than us." My best friend declared, and I agreed with her.

"And aside from his boyish look, everything about him is mature for his age, even the way he talks and the manner he carries himself, and no wonder you are so drawn to him, Victoria. You were looking for someone like him for a long time, and as your best friend, I want you to take good care of your heart." She added, and she looked so solemn, and she watched me with concern expression on her face.

I could see that my best friend was lying on her bed and her straight long blonde hair cascaded on her shoulders, and how I wished to have another chance to be with my best friend; so we could talk about Oliver until we fell asleep. 

"Yeah, you are right; I know I like his mysterious look and, of course, his undeniable strong sex appeal, and I could look at his face forever since he looked so handsome and hot," I said, giggling, and I heard Lana was laughing on the other end.

"I am happy that at last, you finally found the one, Victoria," Lana said seriously, and I gave her a weak smile.

"Me too, but I am scared of what I feel, Lana, Oliver hurt me so many times, yet I couldn't stop myself from liking him, and it feels like the more I see him, my feelings for him intensifies, and I needed to control myself because I might end up with broken heart and soul," I said, and I saw her shaking her head.

"Think positive, Victoria; I know you; your fighting spirit makes you stronger, and I know you are not afraid of anything, so don't let any boy frighten you." My best friend said.

"Good luck, bestie." She added as she grinned at me.

"Thank you, Lana, and before you say goodbye, please tell me what dress to wear since I find it so hard to decide." I said.

"Wear something comfortable, and I know you will look stunning on it, Victoria, and please, be yourself, like the way you act around those boys in our academy," Lana replied, and I smiled widely at her.

"I am trying, but you know, no matter how I make an effort to calm my nerves, I am still anxious, and I hate that I feel this way," I responded.

"It is only natural that you will feel that way, Victoria, because you like Oliver, and you should be careful, okay. It would be best if you didn't get hurt more. I am aware of how many times he has injured your heart." She declared.

"Don't worry, Lan; I can take care of myself; I will be eighteen soon, remember?" I asked, and she laughed.

"I know, but you have to remember, in the name of love, there is no young or old; all is fair in love and war." She said, and I smiled at her. 

"You better get dressed now, Victoria; I am sure you don't want your prince charming to see you with only towel in your body unless you want to seduce him." My best friend added, and I couldn't stop myself from blushing.

I said goodbye to my best friend, and I started to search for the best outfit from my closet once again. It took me a long time to select my clothing, and I ended up wearing a simple knee-length floral dress; and I smiled as I remembered my best friend's words, and she was right; I needed to wear comfortable clothing if I wanted to face Oliver with my head high.

And I couldn't believe that I would be so excited about my study lesson with Oliver after I promised myself that I would never give him another chance to offend me. Still, he only said we would study, and obviously, we are not going on a date. But the way I get myself ready Is way too much. I could feel the pain in my chest, and I felt like a fool for spending so much time on how I looked rather than studying our lesson.

I was looking at my reflection on the mirror of my vanity table, and I pulled my hair into a ponytail, my favorite hairdo, since it is easy and emphasizes the shape of my face. And when I was satisfied with my look, I walked towards my study table and pulled out my Mathematics textbook and notes from my bag. I got some clean sheets of bond paper to be used in solving the math problems. 

I got up and moved to the sofa, and I could feel my heart is racing as I waited for Oliver to come and knock on my door. I know I should control my emotion, but every time I am near Oliver, I can no longer think straight, and I am sure Oliver will put me under his spell once I look at his handsome face.

I didn't wait long when I heard soft thumping on my door, and I am sure it was Oliver, and it felt like my knees were shaking as I strode towards the massive wooden door of my room. And I needed to hold on to the door frame when I saw him standing outside my door still wearing his ripped jeans, and he only changed his black t-shirt into a white one which made him look hotter, and I wondered what type of spell he was using since I couldn't resist his charm any longer.

"Hey, are you ready?" He asked, and when he smiled at me, I almost fainted on the floor.

"Yeah," All I could say since I found him looking at my face.

"Are we going to study inside your room or in the library?" He asked, and there was no way I would allow him to get inside my room since my clothes were still scattered on my bed and the floor.

"In the library," I answered.

"Okay." He responded, and I couldn't hide the blush on my face.

"You can go ahead to the library, Oliver; I will meet you there. I needed to get my things first, especially the review materials our teacher gave us." I said, and he smiled at me.

"It is okay, and I will wait for you here, Victoria. You can close your door if you want and take your time." He said.

I left the door ajar while I felt guilty that I couldn't invite Oliver to get inside my room, and I smiled as I remembered Oliver's pet, and the wolf is the only one allowed to get inside my room, and I miss him already.

I was wondering what would be Oliver's scheme because I was facing a different man tonight. Maybe Oliver has a twin brother since he was talking and looking at me with tenderness, and I smiled as I picked up my things, and when I got out of my room, I found him leaning on the wall of my bedroom.

We walked towards the library in silence, and I could feel my knees felt so weak as I listened to the rapid beating of my heart. 

Oliver remained calm, and he was talking to me regarding our lessons without insulting me, and I could feel my entire face turned crimson as I found him looking at me most of the time.

"I think we need more time to study together, Victoria," Oliver said.

"Sure!" I responded, and I felt embarrassed that I answered with too much enthusiasm since I didn't want Oliver to know I was so excited to be with him. My heart was dancing with happiness, and I wondered why he still wanted to have a study session with me when he could answer all the review questions without a sweat, and I became more drawn to Oliver.

I couldn't deny I am impressed with his intelligence since Oliver could answer the word problems quickly, and I am sure we will nail the upcoming math competition. My only problem now is how can I win Oliver's heart?
