Chemistry Of Lust

CHAPTER 36

*CHARLOTTE'S POV*

Ollie's eyes go wide as soon as she scans whatever is there in the box, which I can't see because; the box is turned towards them. My curiosity takes over and I turn the box towards me, "What is i-" I allegedly scream without thinking at what I see.

There are several; 21 to be exact, cupcakes in Ollie's favorite flavor, which individually spell out one letter of each word from the phrase, 'WILL YOU BE MY GIRLFRIEND?'

I mean I saw this coming from ten miles away but it's still exciting in the moment. I know she will say 'yes' but I am still scared about what's gonna happen next.

"For God's sake, reply him Ollie or his face is gonna freeze in the form of that baffled ass look. I don't want his face to be ruined no matter how narcissistic he is about it," I stand up and scream turning everyone's attention towards me, including the waiters. I wave my hand at them, "Get back to work, mates. Nothing interesting happening here." Instead of answering me, I get laughed on by everyone.

Edward holds my hand and sits me down, "Let her make a decision, sweetheart." I frown at him and earn myself another laugh. I don't care. I glare at Ollie questioningly and she bats her eyelashes innocently at me. I smile at her; I know what she's gonna do. That's my girl.

She kisses Derek furiously like her life depends on it. I stand up and hoot and clap because I know this screams 'yes'. I do not care what anyone thinks of me right now because fuck what they think. "Does this answer the cupcakes' question?" Ollie asks Derek as they both smile and shine brighter than stars in the night sky.

Derek nods unable to form a coherent sentence, "Yeah it does. Fuck." He mutters and kisses her again, passionately and desperately. I am so happy for them that I am not even grossed out.

I shove the cupcake in my mouth. Even though it's not my favorite, I still love it a lot. I offer one to Edward and he takes it, still laughing at me.

"Why am I amusing you so much, Mr. Morris?" I ask as I eye him eating his cupcake. He is rarely eating fats and sweets nowadays because of the upcoming match but today, he is eating it. That's good.

"Your excitement is amusing me, sweetheart. It reveals how much you care about your lovely best friends," He says with a smirk lurking on his face. It literally ignites in me a fire so wild that it is bound to destruct me but in the best way possible. That might sound not logical but I don't think anything is logical when you're in love with someone.

"Of course I do. Jealous much?" Now, it is me who's smirking.

Edward leans in as his eyes get darker and whispers in my ear, "Sweetheart, you might care about your lovely best friends more than you care about me but it's my name which you scream not hers  or his when it's me who worships you and fucks you filthily."

A shiver runs down my spine at his words and all the r-rated fantasies come alive in my mind consuming every pint of my thoughts leaving behind nothing but him in there.

"Edward. Let the new couple be hotter for once," I turn to look at him as I say, not even trying to hide that I am red like a tomato.

"Well, I am not sorry to say that they're never winning against us," Edward says and Derek fake coughs. They heard it.

I raise my hands in defense, "He said it, not me."

"Of course I did," Edward says totally unbothered and smugly. He is not the one to mess with for sure.

"Sure, Edward. Now, I have one more surprise for my girlfriend. You guys can leave now," Derek says as he checks his watch. I am pretty sure the next surprise is very decent and that's why we are apparently being kicked out.
