I couldn't explain the emotions I felt the moment I saw Oliver. He was staring at me like he wanted to be with me when he was with Keisha. How could he ruin my night simply by showing up at the restaurant where I had my dinner with Declan. I hadn't seen his car when I left our mansion, and he was absent the entire afternoon, and I wondered how he knew I was here.
Is it a coincidence, or was he trying to mess with me again? I wanted to compose myself since I didn't wish Declan to notice I suddenly felt uneasy. It was a beautiful night for me since I was having a meal with him, but I know it would be more exciting if I am dining with Oliver
I was just glad when I saw Oliver, Declan was busy with his steak, and right now, I can no longer eat my food without feeling so conscious. And I couldn't stop myself from darting a glance towards Oliver and Keisha's table every chance I could get.
"Thank you, Victoria," Declan mumbled.
"For what?" I asked.
"For having dinner with me, this is epic, Victoria. I want to bring you to my place one of these days." He said, and I felt a little excited that he showed interest in me.
"I should be thanking you, Declan, and I felt glad you asked me out," I replied.
"You make me so happy, Victoria, I am aware that almost all the boys at the academy wanted to have a date with you, and I guess I am the luckiest since I am the first guy you ever dated, and I am aware that Oliver Prize is living in your house since your father and his dad are best friends." He declared, and I could feel my face blush when he mentioned Oliver's name.
"I felt worried that he will take advantage of you." He said, and I almost spit the orange juice I drink since I felt guilty about my feelings towards Oliver.
"Don't worry, Declan, I can take care of myself, and I can assure you it will never happen," I answered him as I gave him my sweet smile. I don't know how Declan would react if he found out I am the one who tended to take advantage of Oliver one day if I couldn't control myself anymore.
"Of course, I know, Victoria, and that is one of the reasons I like you." He replied and winked at me, and if it were Oliver, I know I would have goosebumps all over my skin. I know the longings I feel every time I am with Oliver, and I have thoughts about him and me that I couldn't stop thinking about, and I know I should stop myself before I go crazy about him, but I don't know how to forget Oliver.
His intense gaze made my knees feel so weak, and I wished Declan would make me feel the same way, and I was pretending to look around, so he would not notice that I was only aiming for the table of Oliver. And I couldn't stop myself from hating Keisha for having a date with him.
"I don't want to prolong it, Victoria; I am certain you know why I asked you on a date. I like you a lot, and I want you to be my girlfriend and my wife." He said, and my eyes turned big, since I only go out on a date with him so I can have experience of dating, and his words took me off guard; how could Declan tell me he wanted me to be his wife.
"I am sorry if I shocked you, Victoria, of course, we are still studying, and I want you to be my girlfriend, and then I will make you my wife in the future." He explained, and I felt so confused about responding to him since I will never get married to someone I don't love.
"Wow, I felt flattered, Declan, you are right; we are still studying. And I am sorry because as of the moment, I want to graduate High School first before I can have a boyfriend." I replied since it was the safest answer I could tell him.
"Come on, Victoria, I can be your boyfriend now; you are intelligent and number one of the entire senior class, and I am sure you can handle having a boyfriend." He insisted, and I could see the frustrations on his face.
"I am sorry, Oliver, but I am not ready to be in a relationship." I lied.
"Don't worry; I will be waiting patiently." He replied and grinned at me.
"Please, excuse me, for I need to go to the ladies' room, Declan," I said, and he nodded at me, and I walked to the restroom feeling so guilty as I realized I should never go out with Declan tonight.
I could feel the nervousness as I got inside the restroom, and I was caressing my chest to relax since I felt stressed with Declan's confession. I couldn't deny I felt flattered, but I wouldn't say I like Declan the way I want Oliver, and I need to tell him how I truly felt since I don't want to lead him on.
I looked at myself in the mirror, and I felt so happy that I still looked the same even if I had already eaten dinner. My light make-up enhanced my beauty, and I could tell I was still blushing because of Oliver's intense gaze and not because of the date I had with Declan. It took a while before I got the courage to get out of the restroom, and I was stunned to find Oliver waiting for me in the hallway.
And as usual, when I saw Oliver, I couldn't control myself, and I felt my entire body weakened. I could hear the loud pounding of my innocent heart against my chest when he strode closer to me, and I hated that he looked so hot as ever, and I couldn't take away my eyes from his red lips.
When he cornered me on the wall with his frame I felt so worried if he would hurt me, but I didn't expect him to do the opposite, and I thought Oliver was only kidding when I accused him of coming into the restaurant to ruin my night, and Oliver answered, he wanted to kiss me. And when he leaned down and captured my lips, everything I felt at the moment was gone; all the anxieties, worries, uncertainties, and doubts.
And once again, I allowed myself to melt into his strong arms, and I let Oliver kiss me for a long time that I no longer care if we are kissing in a public area, and we are here in this place with a different date, and I don't want Oliver to laugh at me again.
And before he could humiliate me, the realization hit me like a bomb, and I used all my strength to push Oliver hard; I was shocked when I realized I was so strong that I made Oliver's body hit on the opposite wall with a loud bang.
I could see the pain that registered on Oliver's face, and I wanted to say sorry and ask him if he was alright, but I felt so confused about what had happened. And kissing back Oliver again with total abandon made me feel so embarrassed, And physically hurting him is not part of my plan for tonight since I am not a violent type of person.
"Victoria, wait!" I heard Oliver call out for me, but I ran away from him as fast as possible, and I felt glad Declan had already asked for our bill and made the payment. I asked him to bring me somewhere where we could talk since I didn't want to deal with Oliver.
Declan beamed and gladly offered his hand to me, and we walked out of the restaurant together; I don't know if he knew that Oliver was in the restaurant together with Keisha, and I felt glad Declan didn't mention anything.
I was still touching my lips with my fingers, and I relived the kiss I shared with Oliver moments ago. And I can still feel the lingering kisses of Oliver. It felt so lovely kissing him, and I still feel light-headed until now, and I couldn't believe I turned to be a playgirl.
Never in my life, I realize I would be dating a hot guy and kissing another hunk on the same night. But I couldn't deny, Oliver will always be the temptation that I can't resist. I could still feel the butterflies on my chest as I tried to control my breathing.
I was shocked when Declan drove me to the park, and I could tell no one was in the Park at this moment; the place was dim, and I suddenly felt worried, but I knew Declan would never hurt me. He opened the car door for me, and he assisted me in climbing out of his car, he was looking at me with great intensity, and I felt so afraid if he would kiss me, and I was glad that he only took my hand.
We walked towards the center of the park holding hands, and I suddenly felt apprehensive since I wondered what happened to this place when it used to be well lighted. I used to see many children playing here at night, and even teenagers our age would be having a date at this park.
But I don't want him to think I am afraid of his company, and he took me into one of the park benches, and Declan asked me to sit down. He put his jacket around my shoulders when he noticed I shuddered, and I wanted to tell him I didn't feel cold, yet I was a little nervous since I could feel that something was about to happen to me tonight.
Declan suddenly excused himself and told me he would be right back since he had forgotten something in his car. I wanted to tell him not to leave me, but I could hear my inner self is telling me everything will be alright. I fished out my phone, and I suddenly felt excited when I saw missed calls from Oliver, and I felt glad I turned my phone silent, or else I would be tempted to answer his call.
I was terrified when I raised my head, and I saw a big black wolf not so far from me, and he was on the other bench next to me, and I wondered what was going on with me since I kept seeing wild animals. And I screamed louder than I could imagine when I saw the wolf leap towards me. I kept my eyes wide open as I waited for the black wolf to attack me, and I couldn't move my legs due to my shock.
I realized I would die even before I could have my eighteenth birthday, and I could no longer say goodbye to my parents.. But my cries ceased when I saw another wolf lunge towards the black wolf, and they were fighting each other, and my tears fell on my cheeks when I realized it was Oliver's wolf who saved me from my attacker.
