Chapter 38 - Chapter 37 : Dinner date.

Third person point of view

On Saturday, Oliver kissed Christian before leaving for work. Christian held his hand. " Remember to come back early. I made a reservation for dinner ". Oliver's eyes glowed. He just said without much thought and neither of them mentioned it again. So it slipped off his mind but he didn't expect such a surprise. " Okay ". 

He gave another kiss and left for work cheerfully. He was happy throughout the day and he just answered vaguely when his staff asked him about it. He went back home and the first thing he wanted to do was pick clothes. " What are you going to wear ? " Oliver asked Christian. Christian leaned at the doorway as he watched Oliver busy himself in the wardrobe. 

" I did not think of anything ". Oliver hummed. " Not even color ? " " Which do you want to wear ? " " How about black ? " " Sure ". After getting Christian's approval, Oliver picked out a black silk shirt. He found a pair of blue skinny jeans and decided to pair them. He was happy with it. He went to take a shower first. 

Christian read while waiting for Oliver to finish. When Oliver walked out, he took his things and went to the bathroom. Oliver put on the clothes and carefully styled his hair. He did a French tuck and rolled his sleeves up a little. He checked himself and liked it. He sprayed some perfume and quickly walked out. 

He didn't want Christian to see him before dressing up. So he sat in the living room. He took his black boots with him. Christian went to the wardrobe and Oliver was nowhere. He raised an eyebrow. He chuckled wondering what he was up to now. He took out black slacks and a black coat. 

He matched it with a grey turtleneck shirt. He put them on and styled his hair. He put on a watch and paused. He wondered if he should put on his glasses. He thought about it and put them on at the end. He also put on his dress shoes and walked out. He used the perfume which he rarely did. He went to the living room and saw Oliver sitting on the couch. 

Oliver looked up and both of them were stunned by each other. Oliver looked just right for his age, youthful but also a little mature. Christian carried the air of abstinence. He looked really tempting. Christian was the first to come out of the trance. " Let's go ? " Oliver nodded. They walked to the car and Christian opened the door for him. 

Oliver smiled and got in. Christian closed the door and went to the other side to get in the driver seat. He set the GPS and hit the roads. Oliver was very happy with the date. He held Christian's hand and talked to him as he drove. They soon reached the restaurant. Oliver looked around curiously as they walked in. 

He heard one of his staff mention this restaurant once before. And it really looked like it lived up to its reputation. Christian talked to the staff and they walked to their table. Christian pulled the chair for Oliver and then sat down beside him. Oliver saw the bouquet and was astonished. " It is for you ". 

Christian picked it up and gave it to Oliver. Oliver held it carefully and smiled. " Thank you so much ". He glanced around and kissed Christian on his cheek. Christian smiled and kissed him back. Oliver was on cloud line. A waiter came up to them and asked for their orders. Oliver saw a couple set and ordered that along with other dishes. 

They decided to not drink as Christian had to drive and Oliver didn't want to drink alone. They could have some at home if they really wanted to. The waiter left after noting it down. " How did you know about this restaurant ? " " Jacob told me ". Oliver nodded. " I also heard from someone. It really is pretty good ". Christian nodded. 

Their orders were served and the waiter helped with it. They both tasted it and nodded in approval. The waiter left giving them space. They just served themselves as they ate. Oliver enjoyed his time with Christian and the food was also delicious. Christian paid the bill and they walked out hand in hand. Oliver had the bouquet in the other hand. 

" Thank you. I am very happy ". Christian smiled. " Me too ". Christian still opened the door for Oliver making him giggle. He then went to the other side to get in and drove back home. " Let's go to the movies next time ". Oliver said, turning to Christian. " Okay ". " How about going on a picnic ? " " Let's do that too ". Oliver laughed. His heart felt full.
