Chapter 230: Rx Nancy!
Contrary to the pressure that David had imposed on Nancy, he actually felt nervous. It had been quite some time since he had been interested in a woman so the whole process felt quite odd to him.
Nancy made small talk that did not get very far with David since it did not seem like he was willing to do so.
In reality, he was actually feeling very nervous about being in herpany. It did not take long for Nancy to reach her limit with him. She thought it was just shyness but after getting time to think, she figured that he was deliberately avoiding her.
"Do you not like me now that you have seen me once more?" Nancy asked after a period of silence. She actually felt bothered by the fact that David was not very willing to talk to her so she could not keep the frown away from her face
"That''s not it," David said but was unsure of how he should be reassuring her. He felt that if he said anything he would make matters worse but simultaneously, he felt that if he said anything it might run everything since his brain was not functioning to the most optimum degree.
"Then?" Nancy asked curiously. David slowed down his driving so that he could talk to her.
He was actually the type of person who acted on his impulses but he was being careful since Nancy was friends with Jen meaning that if he ended up doing something that would make her ufortable he would be the one who will be facing the consequences.
David turned on the hazard lights on his car and parked at the side of the road before he looked at Nancy.
"What?" Nancy asked after being stared at for a few minutes.
"You look beautiful," David said suddenly starling Nancy. She had not expected him to say that suddenly. She noticed that his thumb was furiously rubbing at his index finger giving her the impression that he was probably nervous.
"Ah~" Nancy responded but couldn''t find anything else to say to what he had just told her. She had expected to beplemented but she did not think that David would go to the extent of stopping the car to do so.
"Thank you," Nancy said once she regained her senses her cheeks turning bright red in the process. When he saw her reaction he became more confident as he realised that he was not the only one who was nervous about their date.
"Mmh" David answered and manoeuvred the car back into the road.
"Did you have to stop the car though?" Nancy asked after clearing her throat. She was morefortable since David''s evey were on the road and not fixated on her as they were before.
"Mmh?" David responded as if he did not understand why she was flustered. He had actually wanted to say somethingpletely different but it would have probably overwhelmed her and the rest of the night would have be awkward.
"Never mind," Nancy said with a chuckle.
"But you do look beautiful" David repeated silencing Nancy for the next few minutes in the process.
Nancypletely avoided his gaze and stared outside the window. She tried to calm her heart as she counted the number of buildings they passed on the way to the hotel.
"What time does the event start?" Nancy asked once she felt that she wasposed enough.
"It''s already started" David answered simply and Nancy ended up gaping at him in surprise.
"I don''t think I was thatte" Nancy said with a small pout. David had turned to nce at her and caught the cute expression on her face making a smile naturally spread on his face.
Even his amber eyes softened behind his sses, unfortunately, Nancy couldn''t see his face since his focus had already returned to the road.
"We aren''tte as long as we get there before Lucas" David said with a smile and before he even realised it, the hand that was resting on the gear, reached out to hold Nancy''s hand that was half dangling on the side of the arm rest.
Nancy almost jumped out of the car seat when her hand was suddenly enveloped with warmth, she even involuntarily let out a cute squeal that earned her a low sexy chuckle from David.
For the first time, she wished she had kept her hair long so she could at least hide in it, but she had pinned up her shoulder length hair so there was no way she was going to be hiding her face.
She repeatedly scolded herself internally as she was frustrated with how nervous she was when she from the moment she saw David.
"Rx Nancy" David said and twined their fingers together holding her hand more securely in his. Nancy pursed her lips together in frustration, did he think she was not trying? It was not easy for her at all. Who asked him to look so handsome and smart at the same time?
