Chapter 18 - Chapter 17 : Suit selection.

Third person point of view

On Saturday, Christian went to pick up Oliver after having a late lunch. He picked up his phone.

Christian : I am here.

Oliver : Alright.

Christian put his phone aside and turned to the door. It opened after a few seconds and Oliver walked out. He jogged up to him with a smile and got in the passenger seat. " Hello ". He smiled at Christian. Christian was a little surprised by the sweet smile. Oliver was indeed good looking. He smiled and started the car. " Hey ".

" What did you have for lunch ? " Oliver asked, turning to Christian. " I ordered some pasta from a nearby restaurant. What about you ? " Christian spoke looking at the road ahead. " The restaurant provides us with food ". " Wow. That's great ". " Yeah. But we are bored of having the same things ". 

Both of them laughed. Christian glanced at Oliver. " Then what do you do ? " " Well since it is my friend, he sometimes makes us simple food other than the menu ones. He also finds it relaxing. So it is win-win for all of us ". Christian nodded. " Cool ". Oliver smiled. Christian adjusted the rearview mirror a little. 

He saw Oliver looking out of the window with a faint smile on his face. Oliver blinked and Christian quickly looked at the road. He let out a breath. They reached the place and took the elevator to go up to the floor of the studio. They went to the front desk to talk about their appointment. There were two men talking to each other behind the desk. 

They looked up when they noticed their presence. The man who was standing, stood up straight and stared at them openly. Christian ignored his gaze and spoke up. " We are here for- " " Wedding dresses right ? " Christian stopped and nodded. " Come with me ". The man walked in and they looked at each other. 

They followed him in. " Please sit down ". He said, showing the couch. They both sat down. Oliver sat a bit closer to Christian. The man sat down on the chair. " Hello. My name is Robin. This is my studio. I am Sophia's friend. She already told me about your visit ". Christian nodded in understanding. Robin continued speaking.

" I want to take your measurements first and then you can try out some samples. After that you will also have an idea of what you want. Yeah ? " They both nodded. Robin's assistant also helped and took measurements of them both one after the other. They then gave them a suit each to change into. 

Christian's was a black three piece suit. He put it on and walked out. Oliver's eyes lit up. Christian's looks seemed to go up a level with the suit. Christian pushed up his glasses and turned to them. Robin also raised an eyebrow. " This one ". He picked up a Tuxedo and gave it to Christian. Christian took it and changed into it. 

Oliver gulped hard. It was hard for his heart to not waver at this point. This was also really good. Oliver looked at Robin who looked like he wanted to make Christian wear all kinds of suits. He pursed his lips and looked up at Christian. Christian saw Oliver's change of expression but didn't know what it was about. 

There were other people and he didn't know what to say. He saw the almost crazy eyes of Robin. He didn't want to keep changing into one after the other. " Oliver ". Oliver looked at Christian. " Which is nice between these both ? " Oliver blinked in confusion. But he quickly came out of the spiral of thoughts. 

" I like the three piece suit ". Both of them were really good but he thought the three piece suit was more in line for the occasion. Christian nodded. " Alright ". He turned to Robin with an expression that said 'there goes my answer'. " I am done. Give him the suits. I will change out of this ". 

He went back in without waiting for any of their responses. Oliver blinked, sitting there like a doll. Robin was stupefied. He nodded to himself in resignation and turned to Oliver. " Would you also like to try a three piece suit ? It would be nice to wear the same thing ". Oliver nodded. Christian came out. 

He was rolling up his sleeves and went to sit on the couch. Oliver already went to change. Christian looked up when he heard footsteps. He saw Oliver standing in a white three piece suit. It was plain with nothing but white. Christian forgot to blink. He never even saw Oliver wear formal clothes. 

He was always in casual wear. But now he suddenly saw him in a suit. His body was well proportioned and looked good in a suit. Oliver felt a little uncomfortable. He was not used to wearing such clothes. " How is it ? " Christian blinked and smiled. " You look good ". " Really ? " Christian nodded. 

Oliver blushed looking down. Christian stood up and went to help Oliver. He pulled away Oliver's hand which was tugging at his collar. Oliver did not expect Christian to come over. He let him do as he pleased. Christian adjusted the shirt properly, also the coat and finally his cuffs. " Really good ". Oliver smiled with a pink flush on cheeks. " Thanks ". 

Christian smiled and moved back. " Let's fix this ? " Robin asked and Oliver nodded. He changed out of it. They sat down and Robin picked up a notepad. " What color would you like for your suits ? " " White ". Christian answered. Oliver and Robin were surprised. Christian thought that white suited Oliver very well. 

It was just right for his temperament. He turned to Oliver. " Fine right ? " Oliver nodded. He really didn't mind. He thought about Christian wearing a white suit and smiled. Robin noted it down. " I will show you some materials and all. Please choose the ones you like ". Robin showed them all the things they could choose for the suits and noted them down. 

It took quite some time for them to finish it all. " We will sketch a design and send it to you. You can give your opinion and we will make changes if you want any ". " Alright ". They were finally done and walked out. Oliver let out a huff. They drove back to the cafe. " Do you wear suits a lot ? " Oliver tilted his body towards Christian. 

" Not a lot. I mostly wear formals. I wear suits occasionally ". Oliver nodded. " They suit you very well ". Christian glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Oliver's shining eyes. He smiled. " Thank you. You look good too ". Oliver smiled. " Thank you ". He leaned on the seat and looked out of the window. 

The sun was already at the horizon. Christian looked at the mirror again. He saw Oliver's face covered in the warm yellow light. He looked very much at peace and happiness. He stopped at the red light and glanced at Oliver. He was looking around outside the window. Christian smiled and looked ahead. 

They reached the cafe and both of them went inside. Oliver looked around and there were no tables available. " Come with me ". He took Christian to the employee lounge. Christian sat down on the chair. Oliver went back out and came back with two cake slices and also coffee. He placed them on the table. 

" We should replenish our energy ". Both of them laughed. Christian tasted it and nodded. He took a sip of the coffee. Oliver also took a bite. They just chatted about some random things. Christian was done and stood up. " I will get going ". Oliver nodded. Christian left the cafe and went back home. Oliver also went back to work.
