Coffee or Dessert??

I nodded and got up from the chair and started walking towards the door. His hands were at my waist holding me. This was a simple gesture but I was feeling mushy inside. As if the earth disappeared, I could not see the restaurant, only his hands and my waist were present in this entire universe. “Wait for me here” He murmured in my ears and I nodded. I was deep in thoughts when a voice called me “Eve, is that you?” I looked up at the familiar voice “Oliver?” I could not believe my eyes. He took me in his bear hug. Oh my God he smells so nice. I heard someone clearing their throat. I tried to look from the bear hug but it was impossible to turn my head around. Andrew called “Evangeline.” This caught Oliver’s attention too. He released me and took my hands in his hands. I was surprised and embarrassed both at the same time. Surprised to see Oliver and embarrassed, not sure why I was embarrassed. “Oliver?” Andrew knows Oliver. “Hey Andrew, Long time.” Andrew gave me his hand and I took it leaving Oliver to the other side. “Evangeline is my fiance.” Andrew said with a clenched jaw. “Wow guys.. Congratulations. I do not see any ring though. I guess it’s not official then.” Oliver replied enthusiastically. “It is very much official.” Why do I sense a big tension between them or am I reading too much here. “Oh Okay. congratulations again.” Andrew nodded. “Call me Eve, we have a lot to catch up.” Oliver said to me and gave a quick peck on my cheeks and left. Andrew was clenching his jaw, helped me with my coat and brushed my hair from the shoulder. “Oliver. How do you know him?” um.. It was like a low whisper and I was getting goosebumps with sudden proximity. I stared in his blue eyes, such beautiful eyes and I was speechless. After a while I realised we are still standing and he is waiting for me to answer “Ummm.. He used to come to BBQ parties.” He nodded then mumbled “But you hate those parties.” I really wanted to ask him “How does he know everything about me?” But I refrained myself. He took my hand and we went outside. It was chilling. Thank goodness I have a coat and I hugged myself in an attempt to feel warm. Suddenly, Andrew hugged me from the side and started rubbing my arms, he was like a furnace. I also leaned on him. He was like my big warm blanket with arms, cheesy. “You are getting cold.” Our limo arrived and Parker opened the door for me. I quickly slid in the limo and Andrew behind me. I was still rubbing my hands to warm them. “Parker put on the heaters please. Eve is getting pale by minute.” I opened my mouth to say something but I didn't realise I was shivering. Andrew mumbled “Thought so.” and engulfed me in a big hug. My head was resting on his chest and I was feeling warm in his embrace. The musky cologne was inviting and soothing. I closed my eyes and drifted to sleep. I woke up with a startle when I realised I am still engulfed in the musky cologne and someone is kissing my hair softly. I jolted and tried to look up only to be greeted by the familiar blue eyes looking deep in my soul piercing through me. I tried to straighten my back but Andrew dragged me closer, if it was possible. My heartbeat picked up the pace. I was panicking, the professionalism was waving goodbye and left out of the window. I could not think of anything but the beautiful blue orbs and his lips. Suddenly my throat felt parched, I wanted to end the quest. Parker knocked on the rear cabin, making us realise our mistake. Andrew was still holding me. He closed his eyes as if making some decision. “Yes, Parker in a minute.” He murmured and gave a lingering kiss on my forehead. It was a tingling sensation that felt warm and I wanted to shriek but instead closed my eyes and savored this moment. It was just a kiss on the forehead but it felt so intimate. He opened the door and slid out giving me his hand. I was trying not to feel affected with such a cozy updo but he looked fine. He was looking at me with such affection. I turned around to see Parker “Thank you Parker.” He smiled “Good night Miss.” I wanted to run and hide away from his hands which were holding my hands and his breath that was hitting my neck and giving me sensations way down from there. “Evening was good. Thank you for everything.” I replied without looking at him. He laughed and suddenly whispered in my ear “I wanted some dessert.” My breath hitched, his other hand was sliding inside the jacket and rested on my waist. He kissed on my shoulder “You are so tiny.” I was hyperventilating. The merger was not in my head now, my head was trying to get me out of the lust his sweet nothings were doing to me. I wanted to grab him and crush my lips on his, but that would be inappropriate. I do not want to jeopardise anything good coming for the company. Tia waved “Hey love birds, stop PDA. There is no paparazzi now. But there is an article about you two and said merger.” As if the word merger brought me back to senses and I tried to move past him but his hand was still holding me gingerly to my place. “Is Catherine awake?” Andrew questioned. “Oh ! So you mean, you are here to meet Eve’s mom and not for the dessert.” I blushed profusely. I never thought a simple word could make me blush. Andrew chuckled giving me a small peck in cheeks “Desserts are always good and yum.” My legs are giving up and any moment I may collapse. The way he is talking and gesturing I am not sure if this is for the contract or him in reality. “I would leave you two to decide” Tia winked at me and I pleaded with her with my eyes to not leave me alone here. She walked out gracefully and gave me a look that said enjoy. “Would you like to have a tour of the house or perhaps later?” Tour at this time, he must be thinking I am out of my mind, but I was desperate. He laughed, moved in front of me and questioned “You are aware of the fact that this is not my first time in the house.” Ofcourse, silly me. I smiled to cover up. “Coffee?” I asked. “Not what I had in my mind, but coffee would do just fine.” I called the maid and gave her instructions, she nodded and left. We reached mom's room and she was sleeping peacefully. Andrew asked about her health. She was doing fine, better than earlier. But with her condition, it's always one step forward and then 4 steps backwards. I wanted all the good times to come back again, like it was, with dad and mom. My eyes watered thinking this and I excused myself but Andrew caught my wrist making me look at him. “We are in this together. Do not forget.” I wanted to ask him why he was helping us but I held my thoughts. Maid brought coffee and we left the room. “And this is my room.” I said as I opened the doorknob and took a peek if everything was fine. I opened the door when I saw everything looks organized, Tia or maids must have cleaned the mess we created before leaving for the date. He chucked and strolled inside, keeping his cup on the table he walked towards the balcony door “I have used this one time.” I was not surprised, his stalker abilities. "I am sure in the recent future we are going to uncover lots of your stalking habits. " He chuckled "are you upset? " I was taken aback by the way he questioned. "No, not upset, I just didn't know what to think about it. " He slowly covered the distance between us in long strides and took my hand in his hand and kissed knuckles softly. " You were sleeping here like a baby. You looked like an angel though the room was a mess." Suddenly it dawned on me he was referring to the night I was grounded. I dared to look up into his eyes. His eyes were soft blue radiating charm and I was so hard falling for it.
