I’m Someone Else

Just how much has he gone through to have a gaze like that?

A man with a story was undeniably attractive, especially for a woman like Olivia who was young and inexperienced when it came to love.

After a while, Olivia finally came back to her senses and pushed Thomas away. Their passionate kiss finally came to an end.

I kissed him! How mortifying! That was my first kiss! How did I lose it just like that?

Alas, Olivia had no idea that she had already given Thomas her first kiss a long time ago during the night they first met.

Thank goodness no one else came into the office. Otherwise, who knows what they would say about me?

Olivia walked over to the desk. She looked a little flustered as she gathered her things. Her gorgeous face was as red as the apple that tempted Snow White. One couldn’t help but feel the urge to take a bite.

Thomas was feeling a little awkward too. Why did I let Olivia pull me down? Not only that, but we even kissed. What…

“L-Let’s go. I’m getting off work earlier today,” Olivia mumbled with her bag in hand before she brushed past Thomas and fled the office.

Thomas sighed and put on his jacket before following Olivia out.

It’s good that we’re leaving earlier. Once I drop her off, I still have time to prepare a birthday present for her.

He didn’t forget that it was Olivia’s birthday today.

Olivia didn’t head back to her own apartment. She had Thomas drop her off at Pearson Residence, the Pearsons’ family home.

Birthdays were an important occasion. It stood to reason that she would spend the day with her family. She also invited a few of her friends to celebrate with her and she couldn’t quite possibly fit her family and her friends into her tiny apartment.

Neither one of them spoke throughout the drive. Olivia kept her eyes fixed on the view outside the window.

Thomas had no choice but to play some music to ease the awkward tension between them.
