"Pfft, what a joke. We barely know each other, and you think you can assume what kind of person I am? What do I like to eat? What's my zodiac? When's my birthday? Do you know any of it? You don't. So what makes you think you know me? I say who I am."
Sam drove the car in silence and did not interrupt her.
On the other hand, Olivia just kept on ranting, "Are you listening? Your mom has coerced you, hasn't she? You clearly had nothing to say earlier; why had you come looking for me at night? I've already told you countless times. I really don't need you to bear the responsibility. What part of it do you not understand?"
"Are you listening at all? Sam! You a*shole! I don't want to go back. That's your home, not mine. Pull over!"
However, no matter how Olivia shouted the entire journey, Sam acted as if he hadn't heard anything.
Right when the car stopped at Sam's place, Olivia furiously left the car. To her dismay, Sam managed to catch up to her within a few steps.
He blocked her path and said with a calm face,
"C'mon, go up. If you don't want a crowd."
Olivia crossed her arms in front of her chest and sneered, "Are you threatening me? Do you think I'm afraid of rubbernecks? Well, let me tell you, I'm not. Matter of fact, why don't you use a loudspeaker? I'll still make it clear with you here!"
Sam only felt aggravated facing Olivia's behavior. She was a tough nut to crack, and she hadn't stopped moving her lips from the moment she sat in his car. Not knowing what got into him, Sam took a few steps closer to Olivia.
Sensing danger, she widened her eyes alertly. "What are you doing?"
She put her hand out to stop Sam from getting too close, only for him to clasp her wrist. Then he leaned in, tilted his head, and kissed her.
"Mmph."
Olivia was frozen on the spot. When their lips touched, she felt a spark flowing between them, making her limbs and brain tingle. Then her mind gradually went blank.
Why did he kiss her all of a sudden?
What was he trying to do?!
After Olivia came to her senses, she wanted to push him away, livid. However, Sam pulled her into his arms with her head pressed against his chest.
"You're right." Sam's voice was a little hoarse. "I don't know any of that, but I can start learning everything about you from now on."
Olivia didn't struggle but looked up at him. There was still traces of his warmth on her lips, and she noticed her heart was trembling violently.
What did he mean by that?
Olivia blinked and said without thinking.
"Learn about me from now on? Then the person you like..."
If possible, she didn't want to bring this up either. However, Olivia found she minded the issue before she realized when.
"Give me some time." Sam pursed his lips and closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his gaze was filled with resolution. "Give me some time. I can promise you; I won't lay eyes on any other woman but you. You can trust me."
Regardless, she was still living in his heart. But then again, it'd be impossible to ask him to forget someone he had such infatuations with in such a short time.
If he could easily forget about her after being so in love with her, then he'd be someone fickle.
Olivia bit her lower lip and said bitterly, "Do you think this is fair to me? You still have someone living in your heart while I don't. With that alone, how can you be so sure you'd definitely forget about her eventually? What if you hold onto it forever? Marriage is no child's play. I will never choose to put myself at a disadvantage for the sake of sex. The bond between a couple is more important to me. I don't care about the body. So let go of me."
