33 Chapter 33 (1/1)

Days went by and Olivia found herself studying Lucas more and more. He was surprising her as the days went by. She leant more and live more.

Olivia had some peace and quiet and not once had Lucas berated her when she made any mistakes instead, he was understanding day by day.

Now she was dressed and waiting eagerly for him to come so that they could go and see the stars. Lucas had said that they would be plenty of them, so she became excited. She had never been star gazing.

When Lucas came back from painting, she served him some supper, and they ate together. He asked her how her learning was going and if she liked it. She gave him honest answers that at times it was very difficult to focus.

When they were done eating, Olivia washed the dishes and Lucas went to go and shower and change to warmer clothes. When he was done, they made their way, they walked a bit until they ended up by the lake.

The sounds of the water were soothing. And they sat down by the grass, Olivia looked up and she was in awe of everything she saw. The stars looked like little jewels that she wanted to reach out and grab.

The wind blew and she felt very free, she inhaled, and she felt Lucas's warm arms engulf her. Olivia leaned back into his arms and closed her eyes. She had never felt so much freedom in her life,

”What are you thinking about?”

”I, I feel so free. I know it sounds stupid, but I feel free Lucas.”

Lucas smiled at her, ”It doesn't sound stupid my love. If the sun sets you free, you are free indeed.”

Lucas brushed her hair back from her face and kissed her forehead. Olivia felt so many emotions surging through her from that gesture.

After some time, they decided to walk back.

”I want to show you something.” Said Lucas.

”Okay.”

They took a different route, Olivia saw what Lucas had wanted to see, there was a field of sunflowers and huge trees with flowers. The flowers smelled heavenly and they fell lightly, it felt as if it was raining flowers.

Olivia reached out her hand and she caught one. She felt the texture of the flower in her hand. Her throat closed up and she felt really touched.

Lucas tipped her chin and lowered his mouth, when his lips touched hers, Olivia didn't know what happened but she lost control of everything and her lips softened beneath his.
