"you are my happy place"

_______________________________________

Am I into dating or am I not? I was questioning myself as I was sitting across the table looking into Alexander's eyes not paying attention to what he was saying.

'So yeah that's why your sister is pregnant' he said and I nodded my head.

'Yeah' I agreed and then shook my head quickly.

'My sister is what?' I shot back at him with a misunderstood look. My forehead wrinkled in a frown.

'Well welcome back to earth, Olivia. You were staring at me like I grew a second head,' he said with amusement in his voice. I shook my head and smiled.

'Apologies' I said and lifted my hands in defense. He sipped his coffee with a smile and nodded his head.

'Accepted. What are we going to do today?' he asked and I laughed. Well, we are not going to do anything together because I have school on Monday.

'I don't know how about you but I have to understand aromatic hydrocarbons and I don't think you can help me with that' I said with an apologetical look and also sipped my coffee. His taste is very weird. How can you drink your coffee without milk or cream? You have to be sick in the head.

'I actually can. I was the best in the class in chemistry. I loved it. Of course if only you want my help' he said with a satisfied smile and leaned back in his chair. He was wearing a navy blue shirt that hugged his muscles just right and camel slacks that again hugged his muscular thighs.

'You are telling me you can tutor me in aromatic hydrocarbons? You? Aren't you supposed to be a gynecologist not a chemist? By the way, why didn't you study something where you can use chemistry?' I spilled out all the questions on him that made my head spin and see the stars.

'Yes, I can tutor you. I can be both and because this is a lot more interesting' he answered all my questions and I was surprised he didn't hesitate and remembered all of them because I didn't.

'All right then' I said and clapped my hands on my thighs.

'But before anything we are going shopping' he said and stood up from his place. I followed his movement. We already paid so we could leave but still it is weird to just leave not to pay first but we already did so what the fuck am I thinking about?

'And what are we going to buy?' I asked him and then I wrapped my hands around his and hugged it. I was hanging on him like a monkey on a tree. I must look ridiculous but I didn't care and Alexander seemed like he didn't either. He put his sunglasses on his eyes and walked to the car. Opened the door for me and sat down by himself.

'So? What are we going to buy?' I repeat myself. I fastened my seatbelt and turned my body towards him waiting for him to answer.

'Food, toys and stuff for the dog since it's staying at mine's even though it's your dog' he said with amusement. I frowned.

'I told you it can't stay with me! What would I say to my mom? Hey mom, I made a bet with Alexander, yes that gynecologist, that he will take me out to dinner and he'll try to keep his hands away from me but he didn't he actually made me come in front of a full restaurant. Oh, but don't worry no one knew,' I said and smiled but it didn't really reach my eyes. He started the car and pouted.

'Yes you could say that. But leave out the part where I made you come. I still want to be seen in your mom's eyes as innocent' he said and smiled at me. He smiled. I hate his guts.

'You are unbelievable' I said and crossed my arms on my chest and dipped deeper into the seat. His hand suddenly squeezed my thigh in the most warming sensation. The warmth spread across my body and led to my cheeks that turned to red tomatoes. After a half an hour we arrived at our destination.

It was a dog shop. Everything in it was for dogs. I didn't know there were shops for every animal separately but Alexander proved me wrong. There are few in the city for dogs, cats, birds, fish We didn't shop for long. When we were about to pay our so-called argument turned a little heated about who is going to pay. He insisted that he will pay because the dog is staying in his home and I said that it's my dog and I am not going to let him pay. Just your usual fight about who is going to pay.

'You two are an adorable couple,' the old lady from behind the counter said to us.

'Thank you'

'We are not dating' came at the same time. I looked at him with a frown. Are we dating or are we not? What are we even doing? What am I doing right now? Having a fight about who is going to pay for dog stuff? Going on brunches, having sex, spending time in his penthouse even though he is not home, going on dinners, tutoring? What's going to be next? Am I going to move in with him? I don't even know where we stand.

'But before anything we are going shopping' he said and stood up from his place. I followed his movement. We already paid so we could leave but still it is weird to just leave not to pay first but we already did so what the fuck am I thinking about?

'What's the name of your dog?' she asked us while putting our stuff into the bag. Alexander looked at me and waited for the answer so did the lady.

'We haven't picked yet' I said with a smile. Alexander took the bag with one hand and he wrapped the other one around my waist and pulled me closer.

'You know how is it first is dogs, maybe some cats or other animals and then there are kids, grand kids' she said with a smile. We both smiled at her, thanked her and left the shop.

'Well that wasn't really pleasant'
