Burning Passion

CHAPTER 314: NINA'S FAN

* * *

Nina breathed in and breathed out. She needs to settle her chest from beating crazily. But thinking she and Harry finally go on a date, alone. And her heart went wild!

Wait, what should she wear, by the way? 

Ah! She needs to check out what clothes Jessica packs for her! In the next minute, Nina searched her luggage for appropriate clothes she could wear for a date. 

'Harry didn't say it's a date. Just dinner out, Nina. Wake up!' Scolded by her head.

"Okay! I'm awake now!" She cheered herself. However, the clothes Jessica packed for her are all sexy dresses! 

'Jessica! Do you want Harry to think I'm seducing him? Ahh!'

Nina was helpless, staring at her clothes on the bed. She could not decide which one she should wear when all have a revealing cut! 

She shouldn't let her aunt Annie help Jessica packing her clothes. Now she had no choice but to wear what was the decent one among these dresses.

Seven o'clock, Nina heard the knock she anticipated. She picks up the purse on the table; she heaves a deep breath before opening the door. 

Outside, Harry has been anticipating this evening.

In these passing days, the family fight continued. And after a long argument between his father and Steven. Finally, his twin brother agreed to accompany their great-grandparents. Grandma Mei has been homesick. She wants to go home to Zen City. Without their mother begging Steven, his brother won't go back to China. Steven could not protest when he needed to consider his mother's condition.

But then, the next day, he heard his mother called someone in New Jersey. She contacted Li's and invited his aunt Dona to visit them in Hawaii. Learning that Nina would come too, he has been practicing himself how to open up the issue about them.

He wanted to discuss the things that possibly cause everything that happens to them. There's so much to talk about, and this evening he'll end their misunderstanding. 

Knocking on the door, the moment Nina opened it. He froze on the floor and dropped his mouth open. 

Nina is wearing a cream stiletto and an above-knee tube white dress, which reveals her chest. And he couldn't stop scanning her from the head down to her foot. 

Pushing a shy smile, Nina has no choice but pretends she's not feeling uncomfortable with her dress. But Harry's reaction is funny. He keeps staring at her with shock. Rolling her eyes to think of excuses, Nina bites her lower lip while explaining. 

"Hi! Um… I… Do I look, overdressed?" She wondered as she forgot to ask Harry where they would go for dinner. But to look at Harry's get up, he wore a black leather jacket. Underneath are a gray shirt and dark blue jeans.

"Ah… that was fine… You look beautiful…" Harry replied under his breath. He sighs inwardly to calm himself. 'Alright! It's just dinner and talks!' Harry needs to cheer himself. "Let's go?" 

Nina nodded. She followed Harry, leading her to the elevator. Harry cannot stop himself peering at Nina next to him. 

Being with Nina at this moment gives a thrill in his chest. Something he never feels when he's with Kristina. 

It was unfair to both the girls. All this time, everything is still a mess. But he could not stop himself wishing to be with Nina like at this moment. He couldn't conceal how much he loved her.

All he knew, one day, he realized he likes Nina, which leads to a silent wish. But it becomes just a dream to be with her when he gave way to Steven and cared for their blood relation than destroying it just because of a girl. 

However, Steven didn't treat Nina the way she deserves. And after he learned the truth, he could not stop himself from winning her back. 

Since his family supported him and Nina's family gave him a chance to make her his... So, he won't miss the opportunity to be with her every moment that they have. 

Arriving in the restaurant, Nina felt relieved when Harry brought her to a Steakhouse. They could dine either outside or on the second floor of this restaurant, which Harry chose upstairs. 

He offered his elbow, Nina hooked her arms to lend from Harry's strength while they were climbing the stairs. Harry quickly pulled a chair for her. 

"Thank you." 

Harry nods lightly. He walks around to take the chair across from Nina. The moment they entered this restaurant until they sat at their table. He noticed those eyes keep staring at Nina. 

He is certain those fair legs and creamy skin are the first thing that attracts anyone. Added to her beautiful features are her cute heart-shaped face, high-nose, and heart-shaped lips he loves to kiss. 

The Li's properly raised Nina. Dona is hands-on in bringing her up, and they treated her like a doll. So then, it will be normal that several men envied him tonight having this beautiful girl as his date.

Ah… that revealing clothes. He should think of a way to cover that part of her body. After all, he hated that men kept staring at her chest.

Harry's thoughts interrupt when a waiter comes over to take their order. He and Nina both ordered a well-done tenderloin steak and other dishes that are a specialty of the restaurant. 

"Did uncle Nelson allow you to drink any liquor?" Harry asked Nina when the waiter came back with a bucket of ice and a bottle of champagne inside. 

"Yes. But only a glass or two, that's enough for me." 

Back in England, she already used to drink wine and champagne, but she always limits herself not to get drunk. Especially the times' Steven is with her to those parties. 

Ah… she should not be recalling those times. It only ruins her mood. Nina gracefully shook her head lightly. While waiting for the food, suddenly a girl approaches Nina. 

"Excuse me…" 

Nina looked up at the girl curiously. She is wondering what she wanted from her when she knew no one in Hawaii. She pursed a smile, then asked the girl, "Hi! May I help you?" 

"Hello! Sorry for interrupting your date! Can I ask if you are Nina Li?" 

"Ah, yes, I am." It surprised her. But recalling those articles where her name was mentioned a few times, it makes sense why this girl recognized her. 

"Ah, I knew it! You are so pretty in person!" the girl compliments.

"Thank you," she said politely, placing a friendly smile across her face.

"Oh, and he must be Steven Shang, your boyfriend!?" 

Nina glanced at Harry, who pushed a thin smile, feeling uptight that he was mistaken. Well, even she—was feeling awkward. Most of those who read articles about her didn't know that Steven has an identical twin, in which almost they have no difference. 

But her heart knew who Harry was and Steven. Nina wants to correct the girl, but she continues talking. 

"I bought a copy of Val's magazine! You were so pretty in the magazine, and the clothes you modeled so perfectly on you! I actually ordered the pink gown! I will wear it to our Prom! I'm already so excited!" 

"Oh. That's amazing! I love that dress too!" Nina retorted cheerfully.

"Ah, I can't believe it! And this dress you are wearing! It was Val's collection, is it?" 

"Um, yeah." Nina smiled sweetly at the girl. Before she could add more words, the girl was already talking again. 

"Can I take a picture with you?" 

"Oh…" she glanced at Harry, who now looked amused watching her entertaining a fan. 

Nina could not believe him! She glared sweetly at him, which she didn't realize. And this caused Harry's eyes to glow from what she'd done. 

But Harry didn't realize that the girl wants a photo with Nina and him. The girl stood in between them, and her father sat up from his seat, carrying a camera in his hand, and took a photo of them. It forced Harry to tear a courteous smile.

"Thank you so much, Miss Nina!" said the girl.

"You are welcome." 

Nina sighed with relief when her fan went back to her table.. But it worries her when everyone is mistaking Harry for Steven.
