Chapter 127 A Known Stranger

• "what if things don't work out between the both of us? We have to keep working together then," Patrick said... and a smile appeared on Olivia's face. Was that what he had been worrying about the entire time? She had no idea Patrick was an overthinker like she was... That was what had been holding the both of them back the entire time, and Olivia wanted to face-palm herself and laugh... "Why would you hope it doesn't work out" She said and rendered Patrick speechless... he didn't know what to say now. He just stared at her. "I have feelings for you Olivia and I have been a coward by trying to avoid those feelings" Patrick paused for a second before he Continued "I know this isn't the best time or place to confess such feelings to you, but..." Patrick couldn't finish what he had to say before a pair of arms wrapped around him and pulled him into the warmest hug ever...

"can I kiss you" He asked so straightforwardly that it took Olivia a few seconds to nod... her chest heaved and her lips became slightly parted as he slowly started to inch close to her... everything else fading around her and when his lips touched hers it was electric... she kissed him back almost immediately, Patrick hand snaking around her waist and her hand travelled to his shoulder... the kiss was the sweetest kiss she had ever had and by the time he broke it her face was completely flushed... Patrick had a smile on his face as he stared at her...
• "You are so beautiful" " he whispered close to her lips and pecked it, and Olivia couldn't hold back her smile, her heart melting... the joy that was coursing through her at that moment knew no bounds...
