#EDITED#

*Olivia's POV*

"Who was that guy?" Jack ask as he take a sip of his water. He have asked me to go to lunch with him, so I agreed.

"He is my friend. He works in London. So he didn't get to come here at least once a month or two." I said, remembering Thomas. Last time I saw him was three weeks ago and I already missed him.

"You seem close with him. Are you sure you guys are just friends?" He seem to be careful while he asked me.

"As long as I remember, yes." I put the loose hair behind my ear. I grab the french fries from my plate and eat it. I took a small bite to finish one french fries.

"You looked beautiful." I quickly look up to see that Jack has been staring at me. I don't know how long he has been staring at me, but I'm sure it's long enough to see him staring at me like that.

"Thank you." I said timidly. I'm shocked to the vein. A guy who just know me for a few hours is acting like we've known each other for long.

"Sorry. I'm too blunt, aren't I? I hope I didn't scare you." He apologize. I found his eyes is interesting to look at. It's just a normal brown eyes, but those eyes were glowing somehow.

I cleared my throat nervously from his intense stared and shook my head. "No."

"I'm sorry, really. I didn't mean to." He apologize again. I know how sincerely he is when I look at him in the eyes.

"It's fine, Jack. You don't have to apologize again and again." I tell him. He looked like as his words hurt himself someway.

I gather the courage and placed my hand on top of his. He seem shock too with my action. But I just smile him away. I don't want the rest of the time to be awkward between me and him.

"I'll be finishing the lunch." I gestured to my food that is half eaten.

"Okay." He chuckles.

I take my hand off his and continue eating the rest of the food. During eating, we have small talk. Like to get to know each other. From there, I find comfort talking with him.

"So what is your real hair color?" What I see now is that his hair is blond. Looked messy.

"It's dark brown. I dyed it and probably would dye it back to how it was." He said, smooth his hair with his hand.

I nodded my head. Probably he would looked more decent with his real hair. He doesn't fitted with blond hair. Look like a bad boy that didn't make it to the point how the bad boy looked.

I'm not going to say that to him. It would be too blunt and bold.

"So, tell me more about Bakewell." Jack said. Our food is gone. The dirty dishes is out of our sight. We just had our drink in front of us. I got tea flavored strawberry. What most interesting is that the strawberry is a real fruit. They dry it and pulverize them into powder. It's the unique of this local cafe.

They make it themselves. From the first step until the last step. So basically is that a tea, a normal one and they add the strawberry powder in it.

"There is this coming event in here. If you are a lover of beer, it's recommend for you. But, they have food line up too. From the local to national, even international. You can find any food in there." I start to explain it to him. I always looked forward to this event.

It's a big event that held once a year. You wouldn't want to missed it. Two reasons why I love the event is one, because I loves food or culinary. Two is that our store will be selling in there. It's a big deal for us to grew out store larger. To make acquaintance with others.

"Really?" He ask excitedly.

"Yes. They open for a week from 3 pm to 10 pm."

"Wow. You really do know everything." He said with a glimpse of smirked on his face. When the first I fall for his beautiful face, I'll be addicted to his dimples and if he added a smile, I'll die.

"Our store will be selling a special pie." I said happily. Such a beautiful human being.

"Well, good then. I'll make sure to visit your tenant. I'm going to buy the special pies. I'm sure it's something that you don't sell in the store." He guessed.

But I nod my head.

"If you'll do the honored to take me to the event."

"Of course. It will be my pleasure." I said, smiled.

I grab the cup handle, bring it to my mouth and take a sip. I sigh in content as the tea make its way down to my throat to my stomach.

"Can I take your number?" He asked, handed me his phone. I still haven't take his phone. I just looked at him without expression. "So I could text you about the event?" He said unsure.

I reluctantly take his phone and type away my number. I put it under Olivia Pie, so he wouldn't get confused. I'm sure his contacts is a lot and important. So I make sure not to confuses him.

I handed him back his phone. "It's Olivia Pie." I told him.

"Olivia Pie?" He ask in amused as he take back his phone and put it down to the table.

"Yes." I nod, looking down, feeling embarrassed of the name. He might find it funny. "I wouldn't want to confuse you."

"Why?"

"I don't know." I don't even know why I named myself as 'Olivia Pie', I wasn't thinking. "Because you bought my pie?" I give me a confused look too. I give him a tight smile.

"Of course." He said, decided to let go of the topic. Which I'm glad. I can't explain it more to him. I just know that I named myself a crazy ones. So, don't judge.

"Where are you staying?" I ask.

"At the hotel close by. My back kinda hurting from the sleeping I got on the bunk bed." He said with a chuckles.

"You can come visit me if you want." He continue, offering me.

Please stop smiling.

I chanted in my mind. His smile plus dimples making my heart racing so fast. He didn't know what I'm thinking and I am glad that he couldn't read minds. Because I'll be damned. He will knows my secret crush.

"I'll think about it if you give me a good offer." I showed him my smirk, first time I have ever done that to anyone in general.

My mother never thought me to do bad things. She always teach me how to drink a tea and to smile generously.
