She seemed awkward. Which made Oliver feel guilty. He wasn't quite sure why it made him feel guilty since none of this was his fault, if anything the stupid holidays were at fault, but still. He felt like there was something he should've done instead of asking her if he could kiss her, but it wasn't exactly like he could take her out for drinks and dinner first. And they were going to be stuck under this stupid bloody leaf (was mistletoe a leaf?) unless they kissed. None of these facts made Oliver feel less guilty about the absolutely sad look the blonde woman was giving him. Bollocks. How did Oliver always end up in the most awkward of situations?
"Um," he paused for a moment. "This really isn't a good time to ask this, I realise that," Oliver said almost mumbling. "But would you go out for a drink with me? After this," he asked, because, well. She was pretty and what he could tell from three sentences, nice, too. And there was the fact that Alicia kept going on about how he should date. It was hard to date someone when you never asked anyone out. What better time than just before you kiss them to be released from under a mistletoe, right? "We could consider this a reverse date," Oliver finally offered with a small smile playing on his lips. It wasn't often that Oliver smiled but he did want to make her feel better.
With a slight shrug, Oliver brought his hands up, to cup the woman's face. He then leaned down a bit, to press his lips against hers. It was a soft kiss but it definitely wasn't a very awkward one. Oliver figured that if he was going to kiss her in order to get away from mistletoe he might as well do it well. And she was very attractive, which helped. There was no tongue involved in this kiss, because she was a stranger and that would make this awkward, but as far as soft and sweet kisses go? Oliver thought he had done quite okay. Once pulling back, he gave her another smile, his hands still on her cheeks.
