"Okay, now let's go from here," Oliver said before gesturing Erica to walk beside him.

When Erica hesitated for a while, Oliver helplessly shook his head and said "Don't insist me to carry you." 

"I —" 

"Shhh, let's talk in our car," Oliver said and held her hand before walking out of the store 

"What happen, honey," Andy asked 

Amy pouted her lips and said stretched her hands "Lift me up, hubby." 

Andy chuckled and lifted her up "You are looking, different babe." 

Amy pinched his cheeks and said "I bought new lingerie today." 

"So, you want me to rip it off tonight?" Andy asked 

"Can't you talk decently?" Amy slammed his chest and said 

"We already did many indecent things honey, talking indecently is just a piece of cake." Andy shamelessly said 

"Cake reminds me, I want to eat butterscotch cake, honey," Amy said 

"You already ate the whole cake in the morning but still you craving for it?" Andy asked

"Yeah, I want to eat," Amy stated

"Don't you worry about weight?" Andy asked

"What is there to worry when my hubby loves me more if I turn bubbly?" Amy smiled and said

"That's true but I'm strict with your health," Andy said 

"Just one day and I won't ask for a cake up to two weeks." Amy pouted get lips and said 

"Are you sure?" 

"Yes, honey." Amy excitedly said 

..... 

Inside Oliver's car

The atmosphere in the car was extremely silent and awkward. Both of them want to talk about something but they felt their throat dry. They want to sort everything out and start a new thing between them but at the same time, they are so shy to confess. 

After thinking for quite some time, Oliver decided to take a lead. 

"Chocolates?" Oliver asked

"What?" Erica asked 

"I mean —" Oliver bent towards her and opened the drawer to take chocolates out from there. 

"Wanna eat?" He asked 

Erica smiled and took Chocolates form his hand and said "Thank you." 

"Can I ask you something?" Oliver asked 

When Erica nodded her head, he asked "Why didn't you stood up for you? I mean it isn't your fault right?" 

Erica sighed and said "I felt guilty over loving that idiot and I also think that I'm at fault." 

Oliver shook his head and said "Always remember one thing, If you won't stand up for you then no one will come forwards to take a stand." 

Erica smiled and said, "Thank you for taking a stand for me."

Oliver smiled back and said "I will always take stand for you no matter what." 

When Erica's cheeks turned red, Oliver smiled and said "You are looking beautiful." 

Awkwardly tucking hair behind her ear, she said "And you look handsome." 

He then suddenly stopped the car and took a deep breath. 

"What happen? Why did you stop the car?" Erica asked 

"C—Can we talk?" Oliver asked 

When Erica nodded her head, he smiled and said "Let's go to my apartment and talk." 

"Your apartment?" 

"Yeah, If you don't want to —" 

Cutting Oliver off, Erica sighed and said "It's okay, let's go to your apartment." 

... 

Oliver's apartment 

Erica smiled in satisfaction when she realised how organised his apartment is. Everything was perfectly organised and cleaned. She couldn't help but praise him inwardly.

"I will brink juice for both of us. Oliver said about to go towards the kitchen when Erica held his hand 

"What happen?" Oliver asked 

"C—Can I make some sandwiches and juice for you?" Erica asked

Oliver smiled and said "I would love to eat the food prepared by you but I will help you out." 

"Hmm, okay," Erica said and walked towards the kitchen

..... 

After few minutes 

Inside the kitchen

"So, You like chicken?" Oliver smiled and asked

"Yeah, I love chicken." Erica exceidlty said while licking her lips 

Oliver almost lost his strong urge not to pull her towards him. It was very hard for him to control himself when she is beside him. Though he dated many girls but Erica is different to him.

Erica widened her eyes in shock when he pulled her closer

Erica gulped in nervousness and clutched onto his shirt and took a deep breath to calm herself down. 

"Please don't so that," Oliver said in a husky voice

"Do what?" Erica asked 

"Licking your lower lip and taking a deep breath to control yourself," Oliver said 

Tucking her hair stand behind her hair, he added: "It makes me hard to control myself." 

When Erica's cheeks turned red, he caressed her cheeks and said "Can I say something?" 

When Erica nodded her head, he sighed and said "I don't know why but I hated commitments, relationships. I never took anything serious in my life. I had many flings and I dated many women but I never ever felt like this. It felt like heaven when you held my hand. I don't know what is happening to me but I loved this kind of feeling. Will, you believe me if is say I didn't kiss a woman after that incident between us? Will you believe if I say I deleted other woman's number in my phone only to make you secure? Will you believe me if I say I cancelled all my dates because I didn't felt it right?"

"Why do you think I won't believe you?" Erica asked 

Oliver shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know, maybe I am overthinking." 

Erica sighed and said "I too don't know why I am feeling the same way you are feeling." 

Pausing for a while, she continued "I used to be the best student in school but my mom completely changed me. I don't know how and when she influenced me but I changed to the bad. I had no friends except mom. I used to think whatever she was doing is to make me happy. I used to think money is the only thing which will make life happy but my perspective got changed from the day when dad gave all the assets to sister Lisa. "
