39. OLIVIA

Olivia's POV

I stared at him. What would I ask for? I tried to smile but the smile kept faltering and he stared at me so intently. I felt as if I could sense some passion in his gaze. I felt heat in my cheeks.

"I..."

"You?" He urged. "Come on, Olivia. I don't have all the day to spend. Tell me what you want."

I smiled. "I want ... To..."

I couldn't just bring myself to telling him. I wanted to feel what it was like being loved by someone. All my life, I have never been loved by anyone. Nobody ever showed me love and I really want to know what it feels like. But what if I ask him for that and he denies me?

"Go ahead, Olivia." The way he kept urging me gave me confidence to speak but the moment the words passed through my mind, it would kill the confidence I had gathered.

"Don't feel shy, let me know whatever it is that you want and since I have already promised, I will fulfill it."
