Chapter 210 - Not Friends (2/2)

Trisha glanced down at their intertwined fingers and felt her heart beat out of rhythm. Why did this man always stir up her feelings like this? If he continued to do stuff like this, it would make her misunderstand.

”I can honestly return to the hotel on my own. Don't forget, I have a black belt in karate,” Trisha said as she tried to free her hand.

At that moment, Oliver turned into a quiet alleyway and gently pressed Trisha against the wall.

”Why are you suddenly leaving?” he finally asked.

Trisha glanced up at the man. The night was dark, but his diamond blue eyes somehow managed to sparkle under the moonlight. They were completely mesmerizing and Trisha felt herself get lost in his eyes for a moment.

”Don't look at me like that,” she whispered as her heart broke. If he kept looking at her like that, she wouldn't be able to leave him.

”Why?” Oliver asked as he moved in closer to the woman and trapped her between his arms.

”Friends don't look at each other like that,” Trisha said. ”You should leave that look for women like Mila.”

A trace of amus.e.m.e.nt appeared in Oliver's eyes as he continued to stare at the woman. From where he stood, he could feel the woman's warm breaths against his lips and they tickled his heart. Earlier that day, he had snuck a kiss from the corner of her lips, but at that moment, he wanted so badly to match his lips with hers and kiss her properly.

”Do I sense jealousy?” he teased while looking hopeful. He always thought his feelings were one-sided, but today, he noticed something that he never did before. Trisha always maintained a poker face, but he saw underneath the surface today and sensed something from her heart. Was he imagining things?

At that moment, Trisha's breathing sped up and her face turned slightly red.

”N-N-No...” Trisha replied.

Oliver felt his heart almost explode when he heard this response. The usually composed Trisha was stuttering. She was nervous. She was lying!

Trisha felt her cheeks heat up and quickly tried to add to her lie, ”I was simply...”

But, before she managed to tell her lie, a pair of lips covered her mouth, preventing any sound from escaping.

Trisha tried to gasp in surprise, but when she opened her mouth to take a breath, she felt the man slip his tongue into her mouth.

Trisha opened her eyes wide and looked at the face that was in front of her. Oliver had his eyes closed as he continued to kiss her.

That's right, he was kissing her and she was subconsciously kissing him back. Trisha felt like she was in a dream as she closed her eyes and savored the softness of the man's lips. This kiss was different from the questionable kiss from earlier. This was a real kiss. A passionate kiss. A kiss between lovers...not friends...

Trisha gently nudged the man away. As she caught her breath, she asked, ”Why are you kissing me?”

Oliver smirked slightly and wrapped his arms around Trisha's waist. He then pulled her close to his body and whispered beside her ear. ”Isn't it obvious that I like you?” he asked.

He then pressed his lips firmly against hers again and kissed her with all his might. She wasn't leaving for Hong Kong tomorrow. He wasn't letting her leave...
