With slim fingers slipped around my ribbon, he stood on tip toes to give me a kiss.
"Next time, come see me at night. If you want to know my secret..."
There began an inescapable labyrinth of love.
"Stop bouncing around like a little kid."
I'd never seen his handsome face that close before, and I'd certainly never seen him smile so gently at me, so I caught my breath, my heart pounding.
"You can pay me back with your body, instead. Got it?"
(With my body?!)
As a crooked smile appeared on Oliver's face, I was left too shocked to speak.
"I guess this fever is messing with my head."
(I hope he gets better soon.)
I squeezed Oliver's little hand reassuringly.
(I wasn't expecting to see him, but I'm glad he's here.)
I allowed myself a slight pout, but my heart was racing happily.
"I'm glad you came straight to me, Alice."
"Just give in and let me love you."
With a handsome smile on his lips and a taunting look in his eyes, Oliver was still the picture of calm and cool.

(I want to celebrate all the unbirthdays with Oliver, too.)
