#Chapter 99: The Fated Date

Olivia The night of the date finally arrived and I was a whirlwind of nerves. I picked a stunning emerald green dress that accentuated my curves and made my eyes pop. Checking myself in the mirror, I tried to swallow the knot of anticipation in my throat. Movement caught my eye. I looked up to catch Nathan’s gaze in my mirror. He seemed surprised, like he had been caught in the act. “You ready?” he asked. It seemed that, now that he knew that he had been caught checking me out, Nathan's initial reaction was to pretend not to notice. He had this whole casual act going, leaning against my door frame, his eyes casually scanning the room. But I saw his gaze linger on me, the flicker of something in his eyes before he quickly looked away. A smirk played at my lips. “Like what you see, Nathan?” I cooed. His cheeks reddened slightly but he quickly regained his composure. “You look nice,” he said nonchalantly, but I caught the appreciative tone in his voice.
