Dinner With Victoria

Oliver's POV

I could see her eyes blazing with anger after I let go of Victoria's mouth, and I could tell even if she enjoyed the kiss, she would never accept that I stole her first kiss because I could feel her anger towards me. It was one of the pieces of information I received from Zane. He told me no one had ever kissed Victoria, which made me curious. And since I hated myself for liking her before I even realized she was Victoria Winner, it drove me to kiss her so she would get angrier with me.

And when I asked her why she felt so stressed about it when she enjoyed that kiss so much? And I told her it was just a kiss. And I lied when I said she doesn't even know how to kiss. It made her angrier, and I made it worse when I told Victoria I could give her a kissing tutorial for free. I can't explain the wrath that was written all over her face, and I left the classroom without taking a second glance, even if I wanted to stay and know more about her, and I couldn't accept I was the one who enjoyed the kiss more.

But I already made a vow to the elders that I will choose my mate, and since I am the Alpha of our pack, I can't eat my own words. I have to stick with it even if Victoria Winner makes me ache for her. And the only way to stop the attraction I felt for Victoria was to piss her off because, in that way, we will never get along.

I am sure she will never stop herself from hating me, and that is the best way to survive my pretend senior life, and it was insane because I needed to be here for her until she graduates from high school. After all, I can't be her bodyguard until she graduates from college. I already told them until high school graduation only, nothing more.

After all, they said the Alphas from the other packs would be hunting for Victoria to have her as their mate. When that time comes, I would gladly offer Victoria to them, and all I need is to find my mate before I can give in myself to the greatest temptation of the Zenith Academy.

"Hi, handsome," A beautiful blonde girl greeted me, and I recognized her as one of our classmates.

"My name is Keisha. I like you, Oliver Prize," She said, and I was shocked with her straightforward approach, and I beamed at her. I could use her to distract myself from thinking about Victoria, and I could tell she is willing to be my girlfriend if I ask her, but I don't do a girlfriend thing maybe this time only to make Victoria angry with me.

"Hi, I am sorry, but I don't do the girlfriend thing," I replied, and she sweetly smiled at me.

"I don't care, as long as you will allow me to go with you. I hate you for kissing the school queen because I got jealous, you know, but I could tell you only did it because of your curiosity. Maybe you have already learned that the school Queen has never been kissed, and thank you for doing that because I hated all about her." She declared, and I raised my eyebrow at her.

"Well, she's not the only one who is beautiful in the school, but I wonder why all the boys in this Academy are so crazy about her even the girls like her so much that they forgot that I am the cheerleader captain; of our cheerleading squad." She added, and even if I hated Victoria Winner, I wonder why I suddenly felt jealous after hearing that all the boys wanted her. So, instead of listening to my heart, I moved closer to Keisha, and the next thing I knew, she was riding at my motorbike after class.

Keisha told me she wanted to go somewhere we could be alone, but I am not in the mood to have another make-out session with a girl since Victoria occupies my mind, and just thinking about her makes me have knots on my stomach. And I smiled when I saw her walking on the parking as she walked towards her car, and just in time, I revved my motorcycle, and I could tell she inhaled the dust coming from my big bike because I saw her covered her nose on my side mirror and I can't forget the anger I saw in her lovely face.

I drove fast along the highway until we reached the Zenith hills, and I couldn't believe that I would be having a date with a senior high school student because I was so angry with myself that I felt something for Victoria. And I almost laughed when I remembered she told me she would not play any of my stupid games, and the school queen asked me to shut up since I am new, and she never loses. And I couldn't forget how Victoria spelled out her name in front of me. And even she looked so mature for her age, the way she did it made her look childish.

"What is so funny, Oliver?" Keisha asked when she noticed I was smiling like a fool as I watched the city below us, and she was standing near me.

"Nothing," I replied, and then she came closer to me, and I knew she was going to kiss me. I pulled her closer to me because I wanted to forget the beautiful face of Victoria Winner. Still, I didn't expect as I was kissing Keisha, I was thinking about the feisty girl, the Queen of the Academy. I wouldn't say I liked it that even if I was kissing the cheerleader captain, I couldn't forget how perfect Victoria's lips were. And after kissing Keisha, I couldn't remember our kiss at all, and I could tell she was frustrated since I didn't deepen our kiss; instead, I got up and asked for her address and took her home.

I don't have a choice but to bring some of my things and go to the Winner's mansion. Nicklaus already contacted his butler, and Arthur called me the other day, and he asked me when I would come to the estate; I told him I would be there tonight, and he told me Ms. Winner would have dinner with me. And I couldn't stop my heart from feeling so excited.

"Welcome to the Winner estate, Mr. Prize, and please allow me to take you into your room." Art said, and I followed him going inside the beautiful mansion of the Winner family, and I could say Victoria's life is perfect, and I could not imagine how she was going to take the truth about herself. I wonder if she will accept it without question, but I doubt it since she wanted everything to be perfect in her life. She planned everything, even her first kiss, and I felt guilty that I had stolen her first kiss, but after I kissed her, I didn't have any regrets at all, it was one hell of a kiss, and I will never trade it for anything.

"This would be your room, Sir." Art said after he opened the guest room, and he motioned me to come inside, and I could tell he made some renovations to make it suitable for my taste, and I guess the elders did their jobs perfectly. I can see the color on the room wall is more masculine, and I smiled as I realized I would be living on the same roof with Victory.

"Thank you, Art, but I think you should call me by my first name. It would be obvious if you would address me with Sir. Oliver would be fine with me." I said, and he smiled at me.

"Okay, Oliver, but knowing you are the Alpha of the Valiant pack and CEO of your own company, I should address you properly." He said, and I shook my head.

"You don't need to be formal with me, Art, I am here on a mission, and you know Victoria can't know anything about me yet," I said, and he nodded his head.

"Of course, I understand, Mr. Prize." He said.

"I will see you in the dining room, and dinner will be ready in thirty minutes." Art added and left my room after I said goodbye to him. I unpacked

my suitcase and put my clothes in the closet, and when I was done unpacking, I realized it was time for dinner. I got out of my room and proceeded to the dining room, and I let out a sigh of relief when I realized the Queen hadn't arrived yet, and I couldn't deny I was excited to see her.

I hated her the moment she got inside the dining hall, looking at me with disgust. She fueled my anger when she asked Art what I was doing in her mansion, and she didn't even bother to greet me. When she wasn't satisfied with her butler's response, she asked me with anger what I was doing at her house, and I only told her to ask her dad, and I couldn't believe that it is possible to feel infuriated with someone and be thrilled at the same time.

I thought she would turn away and leave, but I realized she is a fighter since she told me she always wins. She sat across me, and I couldn't deny her presence made me uneasy, but not in a bad way. And I need to control myself now, or I will lose to her. I hated her guts and all about her, but I couldn't stop staring at her beautiful face as she ate her food. I loathed myself that she caught me staring at her. And to save myself from embarrassment, I left the dining hall without saying goodbye to her. I know I am not like this, and I wonder what Victoria could do to me as I realized after meeting her for the first time, it seems I don't know who I am anymore.
