Third person point of view
Their week went by like usual. Christian was in the kitchen when he heard the front door open and close. It was Saturday and Oliver came back early. Christian walked out with his glass of juice. " You are early today ? " Oliver froze in place. " Did I not tell you ? " Christian raised an eyebrow. Oliver covered his mouth in shock.
" Sorry. I forgot. There is actually a reunion today for our batch. I agreed to it last week and then all of that happened and I forgot to tell you. I am sorry ". " It is fine. Nothing to apologize about. You should go get ready ". Oliver kissed his cheek. They both went up to their room. Oliver went to take a shower.
Christian sat on the couch with the juice and a book. Oliver walked to the wardrobe and was having difficulty choosing clothes. " Hubby ! " Christian put the book aside and went to the wardrobe. " What happened ? " " I don't know what to wear ". " Is there a color code ? " " Nope ". " Dress code ? " " No ". " Oh ".
He walked in and back hugged Oliver. " What do you feel like wearing ? " Oliver hummed. " Maybe casual or semi formal ". " That is what you wear daily ". " Hehe. Right ". Christian laughed. Oliver looked around and his eyes landed on Christian's shirts. He walked up to them and took out a white linen shirt.
" How about this ? " " Wear it ". Oliver smiled and took out blue jeans to match with it. Christian walked out. Oliver finished putting on his clothes and rolled up the sleeves. He put on a watch and white sneakers. He wanted to spray some perfume too. He picked his up but stopped. Christian did have a perfume he liked but he did not spray it to work.
He would use it when they went out together. He picked up Christian's and sprayed it. He would definitely brag about it saying it is his husband's if someone said it smelled good. He grinned, very satisfied with his plan. He walked out and went to sit on Christian's lap. " Do I smell good ? " Christian leaned in and smelled.
He understood it was his perfume. He really felt a little weird and chuckled. Oliver was wearing his shirt and his perfume and going to his own class reunion. " Are you going to show off that you are married ? " " Not really. But what if I do ? " He asked righteously. Christian laughed out loud. " You are so freaking cute ".
He kissed Oliver's cheek. Oliver smiled. Christian rubbed his cheek. " What time will you come back ? " " I am not sure yet ". " Then how will you come back ? " Oliver shrugged. Christian let out a breath. " Want me to come pick you up ? " " Will you ? " Oliver perked up. That would save him a lot of trouble and also give him another thing to brag about.
" Yeah. Send me the location. I will be there around 11. Will that do ? " " Yes ". Christian nodded. Oliver kissed Christian and left for the hotel in a taxi. He paid for it and got out. He let out a sigh and went up to the fifth floor where it was being held. He already sent the location to Christian. He walked to the door and there were also others who were going to the hall.
He took a deep breath and walked in. He went to find his classmates. He greeted them first and then went to find some other people he knew. The friend he opened the cafe with was there and also the owner of the restaurant was present. He went to greet him too and they were all also very happy to see him.
The others were shocked when they saw the ring on his hand. " You got married ? " Oliver grinned. " Yes. It had not been long ". " No wonder you are glowing so much. So it is the power of love ". They all laughed. Oliver sat with his friends. He picked up a glass of champagne and sipped it slowly.
" Long time no see ". Oliver did not bother turning around even when he heard the greeting. He ate the fruits on the plate. His friend tapped his shoulder and gestured to look back. He turned around and saw a man in a semi formal suit standing there. He raised an eyebrow. This guy was Jason.
He was in the same class as the friend who opened the restaurant. Oliver nodded as a greeting and turned away. Jason was actually someone who chased him before. He used to visit their class from time to time and this guy ended up telling him about his feelings. He rejected him on the face very bluntly but he still did not let go till they graduated.
He did not come across him ever since then and he couldn't help feeling ecstatic. He forgot about this creature and now he showed up again. He rolled his eyes in annoyance. He always wondered how two people with the same name could be so different. Both of them were like wooden blocks but his employee Jason only had a poker face and was single.
But this Jason had a brain which was of no use. His mood was really ruined. Jason did not feel bad and smiled. " I will greet others and come back to you ". " Please don't ". Oliver said it to himself. Jason left and came back after a few minutes. He sat at one of the empty chairs diagonal from Oliver. Oliver didn't bother with him at all and acted like he was air.
But Jason kept trying to talk to him. " I heard you have your own cafe ". Oliver didn't respond. " I work at a Michelin restaurant. I also get a decent salary ". Oliver rolled his eyes. " You are working under someone else. And I know how low your role might be in a Michelin restaurant. While I am my own boss ". Oliver smiled. He turned to his friend. " Give me the fruits ".
His friend wanted to laugh but stopped himself. " Here ". He gave the plate. Jason noticed the ring on Oliver's hand. " You have a lover ? " " Husband ". Oliver corrected him and bit the apple slice. Jason was shocked beyond belief and frowned. " When did you get married ? " " Not long ago ". " What does he do ? " " Why should I tell you ? " Jason frowned harder.
He noticed Oliver's shirt looked big. It was not like it was oversize but it was definitely not his. He had a hunch in his heart but could not do anything. He guessed it may be someone who worked in the cafe or maybe just a regular customer. He suppressed the rage in his heart and could only swallow his anger. There was no way it was someone who is better off than that.
