Ever Since My Eyes Captured You ( Under Editing )

Chapter Eight - To the amusement park

Christine's pov

When me and Amy got down , two cars were waiting for us , Marc was heading towards his girlfriend who was all red , while John was leaning against his car , his eyes lit up when he saw me, he looked so handsome with his white shirt and jeans hugging his toned and muscled body perfectly , he looked hot ! So hot that you can't take you eyes off him , probably I was the only one to think that , i think Amelia didn't notice him because she was busy with Marcus, I rolled my eyes at how cute they looked , they were going to have a date today and Amelia was happy for that , i was also happy for her , I trusted Marcus because he seemed like a nice guy too , and he seemed to be the right man for her and the hottest one because she didn't even notice how hot John was

Not for me though , John was hot , more handsome than all man I've seen in my life , white and black looked so good on him

" good morning princess , missed me ? " his masculine voice snapped me out of my daydreams , I snapped my head towards him , he was smirking at me , i glared at him though I'm sure I looked like a child

" in your dreams " I shot back not even saying good morning , I actually missed seeing him , i didn't see him yesterday , for the past time , I was so used to seeing him , every single day , he would come to the coffee shop , order a coffee and stay there while looking at me

" actually in my dream this morning , you were do-"

" I so do not want to hear about your dream , and I'd be so glad to know that your dream did not include me " I said , Amelia must've noticed the awkwardness between me and John because she came back , looking between me and him , i was the one to speak " are we going there or do we stay here for the rest of the day ?" I said

" I'm sure you two have a date " I added , gesturing between Amy and Marc

" Yes ! Right , we will get going now , since it's going to be a date , I'll steal my girlfriend for the rest of the day , means she's going to ride with me " he said and we ( Amy and I ) nodded , i looked at John and saw him smirking at me , i blinked in confusion as heat rose to my cheeks from his gaze on me , i was drowned in my own daydream again until realisation hit me hard like a ton of bricks

Since Amelia will ride with Marc, who am I going to ride with ?

No no ! It can't be !

There's no way I'm riding with John!

I looked at John again and his smirk grew , I swallowed , shifting my gaze to Amelia who was sending me I'm-sorry-I-didnt-mean-this-to-happen look

" there's no way in heaven I'm going with you ! " I said to John

He grinned , if it wasn't for the awkward situation , I would be drooling at him

" oh but you will "

" why ? " okay that is a stupid question to ask , but i didn't care at the moment

" first off , you don't have have a car to use , and if you have it will only slow us down , second off, Marc and Amelia are on a date today , I'm sure you don't want to be a third wheel , do you? "

I sighed heavily , I looked at the couple , they were talking , they were trying to have fun today , and I would never try to stop that , or even interrupt that , i sighed again and looked at John

" fine ! But only for the sake of Amelia and her date with Marcus " I said as John shrugged again and went to the other side of the car and opened the passenger door for me

So he's a gentleman after all

I was going to sit in the back because I didn't want to be near John but since he offered to open the passenger door for me , it would be rude to ignore his offer so I hopped in the seat but what almost gave me a heart attack was when he leaned in so close that our faces were inches away , I could feel his breath on my cheek as I closed my eyes ignoring the heat that radiated off my body . I waited for what was about to happen to me .. he sure isn't going to kiss me -

Right then I heard the sound of the buckling of a seat belt I sighed and mentally scolded myself for being so stupid and desperate

As I opened my eyes I was taken aback by the beauty of John's blue eyes staring directly into mine , for a moment I forgot that anything existed around us , it was like me and John were the only ones in this world and I wondered if he felt that too , but as always , something has to ruin the moment because the sound of a ar coming to life made John pull back and clear his throat , he quickly closed my door and went to get in the driver's seat, I saw Marcus' car drive as I looked at John

I can't believe what happened just now ..

He started the engine and drove off , I didn't even notice how beautiful and luxurious his car was

Of course it would be like that ! He is a billionaire for God's sake!

" aren't you too old to be going to an amusement park ? " the uncomfortable silence was killing me so I decided to end it and start a conversation

" you are never old for fun "

I hummed in approval , " how old are you by the way ?"

" 26 and you " oh so he's only four years older than me " I'm 22 " and he nodded

" don't you have work today ? "

" it's the weekend gummy bears " my heart made a jump at the nickname , I blushed as I looked at him , he teared his eyes from the road and grinned at me , then winked , I swallowed nervously , I looked down to my lap , with my cheeks red and my heart beating so fast

Then my face dropped

Don't be stupid Christine .. he must be a player , he's only doing this for fun , you should never feel this way

Perhaps he has a girlfriend who's thinking about him now , or even waiting for him at home if she lived with him

" don't call me that " I snapped

" call you what ? Gummy bears ? " he said and I hated myself for feeling this way , I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a crush on John but I knew he would never feel the same way , he was way too rich and I was poor , I didn't even have a house , he was way too handsome , and I was ugly , I was tall , with curly brown hair and brown eyes , he would definitely prefer short girls , blonde ones , with blue eyes , a curvy body , I sighed for the hundredth time today

He would never like me " don't say that again "

He looked at me , probably confused to why I was acting this way , his smile dropped when he saw me " what happened ? "

" don't act like you mean this ! You are probably just talking like this for your own fun ! Do you not care about my feelings and your girlfriend's feelings ? " I didn't even notice I was crying, as if he knew what I was thinking he stopped driving and my body jerked upwards

" are you seriously thinking so low of me right now ? "

" I'm not-"

" I'm not talking to you like this for fun , okay ? And I care about your feelings more than you think , and I don't have a girlfriend "

" I haven't had a girlfriend since I was in university , which is years ago " his confession surprised me , no shocked me , i was speechless, he didn't have a girlfriend and I was so happy for that , now he won't seem like he's cheating on her if he had one

" I a-"he cuts me off again

" I'm sorry for the other day , when I said I didn't care , truth is I care and this never happened before .. I .. please don't think like that again , okay ?" He asked as he looked at me , his gaze held sincerity and honesty , and I believed him " okay " was all I said before he drove off towards our destination, when the car was filled with comfortable silence he gently and softly placed his hand on my knee , I sucked in a breath as I tried to calm my breathing , I was blushing so hard and he chuckled , probably thinking I'm an idiot , because even when I'm wearing jeans , the touch felt like he was touching my bare knee

" you are so cute when you blush like that ".
