Chapter 432
“Am I doing something wrong?” He asked.
Without thinking, I picked up a mozzarella ball off his plate with my fingers and dipped it in the sauce before popping it into my mouth with a grin. His eyes narrowed as he watched me take another and also pop it into my mouth. I chuckled at his awestruck expression.
To my surprise, he placed his fork and knife down and tentatively picked up a mozzarella ball with his fingers. I watched him as he brought it to his lips and popped it into his mouth, mimicking my movements like he was learning to eat finger food for the first time in his life.
I suppressed another laugh, clearing my throat to mask it. He glanced at me and smirked as he pizza up a pretzel bite, dipped it in the mustard sauce, and ate that as well.
“Do you like it?” I asked him.
He chewed slowly as he analyzed the flavor.
“It’s different than what I’m used to,” he admitted. “But it’s not bad.”
I smiled as I too ate at the pretzels. I grabbed the root beer float and took a sip, moaning at the delicious taste. His right brown went up immediately at the sound of my moan, his dark eyes following my every movement.
He took a sip of his root beer float and the surprise that was on his face made me nearly choke with laughter.
The waiter returned with our wine and then a few minutes later, he came back with our food.
“Do I eat this with my fingers too?” Gavin asked.
I glanced at him and saw that he was gesturing towards the pulled pork sandwich.
“It’s a sandwich,” I laugh. “Of course, you are supposed to eat it with your fingers. It’s nasty and greasy but so good.”
The alcohol from the root beer float and wine combined was loosening me up and making me say and do things in front of him I wouldn’t normally do, like be a slob. I grabbed the sandwich, watching as the juices dripped onto my plate before taking a giant bite. I knew it was all over my face and the startled look on my face confirmed that very thing.
He grabbed his sandwich as well
and took a bite out of it; I waited for his reaction; and I saw his eye flashing dangerously. A low growt escaped his throat as he took an even bigger bite. It was like a child discovering something delicious for the first time; I also think the alcohol was loosening him up a little as well. swnovel
I snorted at the sight of him, unable to contain my laughter. His smirk grew into a full-grown smile and to my surprise, he started laughing. We must have looked like a couple of lunatics, laughing with pulled pork sauce all over our faces. I think this is the first time we actually laughed together, and it honestly felt amazing. swnovel
We continued to eat and drink until we were both stuffed.
“Is there anything more I can get for you, Alpha?” Marcus asked as the wait staff took away our plates and cups.
“I think we are all set,” Gavin replied.
Once the bill was paid we left the restaurant. I started towards the car, but Gavin took my hand and pulled me in the opposite direction. It was nearing 7 pm and the sun was now officially setting in the background.
“What are you doing? The car is this way,” I told him, walking with him as he held my hand a bit tighter.
“Yes,” he replied simply without giving me much more explanation. “You didn’t think dinner was all I had planned, did you?”
I raised my brows but didn’t ask any further questions as we continued to walk.
We walked for a few more minutes
and soon we were surrounded by a
crowd that were all heading towards the entrance of the fair. My eyes grew wide when I realized we were also heading towards the entrance, I looked up at him, shocked beyond belief as excitement bubbled inside of me. swnovel
I grabbed his arm with my free hand, stopping him for a minute. He frowned as he
looked down at me but when he saw my expression, he smirked.
“Are… are you taking me to the fair right now?” I asked him, my tone breathless and filled with wonder.
He winked at me and entwined his fingers with mine.
“I was serious when I said I wanted to do things you enjoy,” he replied. “So, let’s
go have some fun, shall we?”
