Third person point of view
The next morning, Christian took the cupcakes with him to the hospital. He was going to stay later than usual so he could snack on them. He put it away carefully and got to his work. His day was filled to the brim. He let out a sigh as he sat in his seat and rubbed his temples. He saw the box on his desk and opened it.
He took out a cupcake and ate it. It really made him feel better and filled his energy bar. He remembered Oliver and smiled. " Is it so tasty, doctor ? " Christian heard the voice and saw a kid standing a few feet away from him. He smiled and beckoned the kid to come closer. The kid was around 6 years old and an inpatient in the hospital.
He had an allergic reaction to medication and had to stay for a while. He came down to play in the room nearby and always talked to Christian whenever he saw him. And now he saw him smiling while eating something and was curious. Christian took out the other cupcake and handed it to the kid.
The kid took a bite and his expression was brimming with happiness. " Is it good ? ". He nodded vigorously. " It is. Did doctor make it ? " Christian shook his head. " Then ? " Christian thought about how to answer. " My fiancé made it ". " Fiancé ? " " The person I am going to marry ". " You are getting married ? " Christian nodded.
" Congratulations ". Christian chuckled. " Thank you. Don't tell anyone about this cake. Got it ? " The kid nodded and finished it in a few more bites. " Thank you doctor ". He ran away to play. Christian chuckled. He cleaned up and went to wash his hands. He wiped them and sat at his desk again.
He picked up his phone and texted the designer to inform about the engravings. The designer replied in a few seconds saying they understood and confirmed the date for finishing too. Christian put his phone aside and continued with his work. He walked out of his room and came across a doctor who worked there too.
Christian nodded as a greeting and walked past him. The doctor also smiled and nodded back. He took the elevator to the parking lot. He fiddled with his car key as he walked to it. He got in and put his things in the passenger seat. He paused and thought about the cupcakes. He decided to go to Oliver.
He could just leave if he was busy. He went to the cafe and parked outside. He got out of the car and called Oliver. The call was picked up after 4 rings. " Hello ". " Busy ? " " Nope. What is it ? " " I am outside ". Oliver, who was leaning on the counter, almost slipped. " Here ? " He asked in a loud voice. " Yes ".
Oliver hung up and ran out. Christian frowned at the screen and looked up to see the door opening and Oliver brisk walking up to him. Oliver regulated his breathing. He stood in front of Christian. He blinked when the sun rays hit his eyes. It was a little too bright. Christian noticed it. Oliver narrowed his eyes. " What brought you here ? "
Christian held Oliver's arm and pulled him closer. Oliver was shocked. His gaze wavered. He was now in Christian's shadow. He opened his eyes properly. " The sun is strong ". Christian explained and pulled his hand back. " And to answer your question, I just thought of seeing you once. The cake yesterday was tasty. The cupcakes are also really good ".
Oliver smiled. " That's nice to know ". Christian also explained that he gave a cupcake to that kid. Oliver smiled wider after hearing it. " Do you want some more of them ? " Christian smiled. " It is fine. I will come here if I want them ". Oliver nodded. He was about to speak when Christian's phone rang. " Sorry ". Oliver shook his head.
Christian took it out of his pocket. It was Jacob. He answered the call without moving away. " Hello ". " Brother, my wife talked to those designers. They asked to come by on Saturday at whichever time possible for you and give your measurements. And they will talk about the details with you both ".
" Okay ". Christian hung up and looked up at Oliver. " We should go for the suits this Saturday ". " Time ? " " We can go whenever we want to ". " Then... how about we go in the afternoon. Are you fine with it ? " Christian nodded. " It is fine with me ". " Alright ". " You should go back. I already took up some of your time ".
" No way. There is no problem ". His eyes darted away. " You are my fiancé so there is nothing wrong with you taking up some time ". Christian smiled when he heard it. Oliver's ears turned red after saying that. " Fine ". He blushed harder after hearing Christian say that. Christian tilted his head.
" I will get going then. Bye ". " Yeah. Bye ". Christian smiled and got in the car. Oliver watched him drive away and put a hand to his heart. It took him a while to calm it down. He walked back inside but he thought about Christian's gentle nature. " Would he treat anyone like that ? " The thought gave him a sour feeling.
It didn't settle well with him. He frowned subconsciously. " Did something happen ? " Oliver turned to Jason who was talking to him. " No. Just lost in thought ". He smiled to show he was fine and got back to work. He went back home after work and sat in the bathtub. The hot water relieved his muscles and fatigue.
He played with the water mindlessly and his thoughts went back to Christian. He thought of the smile and his heart melted. But when he thought about the gentlemanly nature... He frowned with the displeasure clearly showing in his eyes. " Will I end up as the only one with feelings ? I never thought I would end up in a situation of unrequited love ".
He clicked his tongue in annoyance. " I can just make him fall for me ". They were going to spend time together anyway. They were already meeting up more than before and even going to get married soon, so there was no reason for him to not show his feelings. Oliver smiled happily. He finished his bath and went to bed with a clear mind.
