A Story From Zinnia

Part 27: First Kiss

The weather in Zinnia has begun to cool. Entering the month of November, the leaves in the trees had already completely fallen. There are 3 days left to go to Oliver's welcoming ceremony and for today's schedule Oliver will do the fitting of the dress he will wear at the event later. Unlike the wedding, now the boutique that came to Oliver to the palace. That's because Xavier was uncomfortable if Oliver had to get out of the palace gate without him, especially when he found out Oliver had been trailed by several paparazzi a few days ago.

"What if you do this yourself?" Xavier.

Oliver nodded "Hm, just calm down."

"Then I'll be back for dinner tonight." Reciprocity.

Xavier can't accompany Oliver for this dress fitting, he has to pay a visit to the base of the military because of his duties.

"Oh yeah Oliver-" call Xavier.

"Come-here"

Oliver raised both his eyebrows in confusion and before long a kiss landed on his forehead, making both of his cheeks blush red. It then makes the servants who watched the anxiety made.

"It's been... Go there." Get Oliver.

Oliver feels lately Xavier has been giving him more attention and skinship than usual. I don't know what he's thinking, Oliver's mind. But it doesn't matter, Oliver doesn't mind that either.

After that, Oliver continued his activities just now. Choose the dress she will wear. There were a few dress choices for her. With all the eye-catching colors and elegant designs. Honestly, Oliver was confused about choosing it.

"Your Majesty can try it and choose which one you like best." Said one of the assistants from the boutique.

"Hm... It's too hard" Oliver said.

"Whatever the dress is, you'll look very graceful if you wear it."

After weighing and choosing, her eyes were fixed on the two dresses. One is sky blue and the other is royal blue.

"What is this...?" Oliver said in his heart.

"I'll just pick this one." Oliver also chose a royal blue dress with lace skirt stacked and white freckle pattern.

"Okay, Your Majesty." The assistant immediately separated the dress that Oliver chose.

"Your Majesty..." Call one of the other assistants.

"Yes?" Oliver Sahut.

"Our baby also has a large collection of evening dresses, such as lingerie and silk pajama for example."

"Lingerie???"

"Yes... Who knows, Your Majesty would. To play around with the crown prince." Kekeh that assistant.

Oliver realized the assistant's intent, "HA-HA-HA NO, I don't need it." Awkward laugh.

"There's no shame, Your Majesty. This is normal for married couples, isn't it?" Ask the assistant to the other assistant.

"Rubber, can give 'signal' on pairs-"

"EYYY DOESN'T NEED TO." Said Oliver whose cheeks were already blushing like a boiled crab.

'If I need it, I can buy it myself.' her inner self.

"Back to the palace." Xavier

"Your Majesty." The engine of the black limousine was ignited and immediately headed back to the palace.

Xavier's job today is done. The body is tired not playing, but just watching the field.

"Your Majesty, have you seen the news on the internet?" Liam said while showing a news from his phone.

"What news is this?" Ask Xavier.

"Someone wrote a rumor about Princess Oliver, Your Majesty."

Xavier read the news carefully. The news was nothing more than cheap gossip about "Why doesn't the Princess wear her wedding ring?"

"Cihh, take care of this Liam. Find out who the author is."

"Okay, Your Majesty."

'Like I thought. Now they're after Oliver.' Xavier's inner.

"Your Majesty, it's dinner time." Elijah knocked on Oliver's door.

"Well, I'll be down in a minute." The law from within.

Oliver came out of his room. Get down the stairs and go through some of the hallways that Oliver finds quite scary at night. Before heading to the dining room, as usual Oliver stopped by the toilet to wash his hands. After finishing washing his hands, before he came out of the bathroom, he overheard the conversation of 2 servants passing by outside.

"really?"

"Really... Although they slept in the same bed and room, the Prince and the Princess had yet to spend their 'flower night."

"You know where it's coming from?"

"From the waiter who tidied up their room."

"Why do you think? Is their marriage just a pretend one?"

"I heard it was Princess Oliver who was displeased, but they were husband and wife."

"What a pity Prince Xavier."

"Rubber."

Oliver listened to the conversation until it was over. Somehow they can talk a no-no about their own superiors.

"Your Majesty? Here you seem to be..." Said Elijah.

"Ah... Elijah, I was just going there."

"Hurry before the King comes."

"Xavier's? Already home?"

"The prince is coming soon."

After dinner, Oliver was pensive next to the window in his room. His gaze was blank, looking towards the distant palace gate there.

Xavier noticed that he knew his wife was thinking about something, "What's wrong?"

"O-oh, it's okay." Oliver seemed clear that he was okay.

"You wanna take a walk? We're looking for the wind." Xavier's Bargain.

"There's a garden near here, outside the palace gates."

"Can I?"

"What the hell can't happen."

Oliver nodded, saying, "Wear your warm clothes, the weather is cold."

At night like this, the two of them went to a park that Xavier meant. Several bodyguards watched from a distance, giving room for the two. Xavier and Oliver walk down the path, under the dim lights of the street and the moonlight.

"Is there anything you're thinking?" Ask Xavier.

Oliver shook his head slowly.

"Your face hasn't looked excited since dinner last night, why? What was? Is something troubling your mind?"

Oliver remained silent. Oliver takes Xavier to sit on a park bench and sighs for a moment.

"Something I want to ask you." Oliver opened his mouth.

"Just ask, I'll answer." Xavier Sahut.

"Our marriage has been 3 months.... Don't you care about us never having sex despite being husband and wife?" With a heavy heart Oliver asked that.

Xavier was silent for a moment, and he chuckled "So that's what you're thinking"

'Xavier's 'Sounds.

Oliver waited for Xavier's reply with his pouting face.

"You... Started to hear the palace servants talk about that huh?" Ask Xavier.

"Where do you know?"

Xavier chuckled softly, "I told you, there are no secrets in the palace. Even the walls have ears."

"I heard it too" Xavier continued.

".... That's so yeah."

"Yes so."

"Then? What was your answer to my question."

"My answer...." There was a pause before Xavier continued his words, "No problem."

Oliver widened his eyes, he had already ventured to ask that. "E-Eh??? Doesn't matter??"

"Yes, no problem. Is there something wrong with that?"

"There's no one. But he said when men are married, it's harder for them to hold back their lusts." Obviously Oliver.

"Who said? I'm not a pet that's mating, Oliver. I can control it. Not that I don't want to, I'm just waiting for you to be ready."

"W-I??"

"Yes, you. I don't blame you. Being by your side like this alone makes me feel comfortable, that's more than enough for me."

Oliver was pensive, he was now looking into Xavier's eyes. "I'm sorry." He looked down slowly.

"Sorry for what? You're not wrong."

Now Xavier rubbed Oliver's head slowly, "Marriage isn't just a bed affair, Oliver. There's still a lot of interesting things we can do together, isn't there?"

"But are you okay with this? I keep putting it off."

"Connection is a matter of mutual agreement. I don't want only me to be happy about this, you have to be happy about it too. Slow down, even if it takes more time I'll wait."

Oliver made him teary-eyed, "Why??? Why cry?" Ask Xavier.

"Because of me, the servants are talking a no-no."

"They'll always be like that about whatever we do, so strengthen yourself."

Xavier rubbed Oliver's tears against his cheeks.

"Xavier's..."

"Yes?"

"You can call me 'honey' or whatever you call me. I want us not to look awkward and seem closer."

"HAHAHA have we been impressed awkward all this time?"

Oliver shrugged both of his shoulders.

Xavier smiled, "Alright, if that's what you want. Dear."

Oliver felt there were butterflies in his stomach, he liked the call.

"One more" said Oliver.

"What's that?" reply Xavier.

"I haven't had my first kiss yet."

Xavier flinched, what's wrong with his wife tonight.

Oliver faced toward Xavier next to him, "May?" Shamefully asked.

Xavier nodded, as he had not even had his first kiss with anyone.

With hesitation Oliver brought his face closer to Xavier's face and kissed his lips slowly and briefly. If you say kissing, it's more like a short kiss. This princess, really doesn't know anything.

"Have you?" Ask Xavier.

"Hm." Nod Oliver.

Xavier's turn brought his face closer to Oliver's. He held onto Oliver's chin and pulled his face slowly. His hands scoured the jaws of the woman before him. His thumb deliberately pressed down softly on Oliver's lips. Before long, Xavier landed his lips on Oliver's lips gently. His hand, which was now on Oliver's nape, pressed the back of the neck gently, making their kiss deepened.

Oliver could feel his heart beating. Like an electric shock, he liked this sensation.

Xavier now removed the link of their lips to take a breath, "The kiss is like this. Can I teach you more?"

Oliver nodded.

Again, Xavier pressed his lips against Oliver's. But now it is less powerful. The two of them tried to close their eyes, trying to enjoy their moments together. Xavier tries to suck Oliver's upper and lower lips in turn. Oliver was unknowingly swept away by this activity, and tried to retaliate by doing the same. Their noses touched each other.

Xavier embraces Oliver's waist, trying to get him closer. Oliver reflexively draped his arms around Xavier's neck. A short, slow kiss turns into a long, hot kiss, as if there is no tomorrow.

The atmosphere of the night, the moonlight, and the company of loved ones. Even nature supports them.

After feeling enough, Xavier removed the link between their lips. He looked at Oliver inside. Rubbing her flushed cheeks was blown away by the winter night breeze. Iris the two meet. Xavier's sapphire eyes looked so bright under the moonlight, as did Oliver's bright brown eyes. In Xavier's eyes, Oliver looked extremely beautiful. Hugely.

"Pretty." Said Xavier who was still staring deeply at Oliver. A slow kiss landed on Oliver's forehead and now Xavier is holding Oliver in his arms. Oliver's body feels tiny and fits perfectly in Xavier's arms.

"You going home now?" Take Xavier.

Oliver returned the invitation by nodding in Xavier's arms.

In the midst of this cold weather, while holding hands the two went home with a warm heart.

Let the world bear witness to their love story.
