A/N: Date Pt2

JAE ▪︎ POV

Ezra let out a startled yelp as I grabbed his hand and pulled him into my body. He quickly steadied himself, looking cutely confused as he wrapped his strong arms around my shoulders. I ran my hands down his back and settled them just at the top of the curve of his ass before pressing a brief kiss to the side of his mouth. 

"I'm hungry, let's go eat," I whispered, dragging my lips along his soft ones and inhaling his intimate scent. Ezra briefly closed his eyes, squeezing my shoulders as I held him. He'd been saying insanely adorable and romantic things while we played games in the arcade and honestly, I'd never had so much fun on a date until now. Ezra just had this way about him and his words that made me feel wanted and cherished and like it was only the two of us left in the world. 

Either he was just a pro at buttering me up all nice and good so that I willingly spread my legs for him later - not that I would need any persuasion - or he was genuinely into me and the latter was making my heart melt. How dare he be a sweetheart on our date and make me fall even further in love with him? The audacity. 

I smiled, shaking my head and gently biting his bottom lip. My heart was beating a little too quickly because well... I was so darn happy. Even if it was just now, in these few hours with us together, I felt closer to him, I felt like I mattered to him and well, I liked feeling special to him. 

"You sure there's nothing else you want to play?" Ezra asked lowly once I released his bottom lip from between my teeth. He swiped his tongue across the pink flesh and I had to stifle a breathy moan at that. Part of me wanted to fast forward to the sex part, but the other part was enjoying having Ezra as my date for the night and wanted to slow things down so that they never ended. 

"No, I've had my fun," I smiled, shaking my head. I was admittedly pissed off that he beat me at most of the games we played because I liked to think I was on top, but... he made an impressive arcade king so I wasn't too mad. Plus, seeing him laugh, although at my expense, was like a happy drug in itself. Especially because I was so used to seeing him looking stressed or upset. 

We'd tackled most of the arcade games, although I hadn't managed to get Ezra on the dance machines just yet. My persuasion hadn't worked and well, it was impossible to drag a six foot five guy anywhere he didn't willingly want to go, so I gave up on my fantasy of seeing his booty shake for the moment. I'd make him dance for me another time. 

"Let's go then. I warn you now, I've never eaten Korean food before so you're going to have to help me out," Ezra grabbed my hand and laced our fingers together before leading me through the rows of noisy, flashing games and out into the street. 

"So uncultured, Ezzy," I shook my head teasingly and he let out an easy laugh at my harsh words. "I'm joking honey. It's the best, I'm sure we can find something you'll like on the menu. How are you with spice?" Maybe I should've asked that last question before promising to bring him to my favourite restaurant. Most dishes had some sort of chilli paste or power as the base so it was often hard to find milder things.

"I'm okay with spice," Ezra told me and I blew out a relieved sigh, squeezing his hand. That made things ten times easier, not that we were going to go crazy with the chili since we had plans that involved certain body parts later... ew.

I internally laughed at my own immature thoughts before swinging our linked arms chidishly as we walked over to where he parked the car. I wanted a cigarette, but refrained from reaching into my back pocket for the packet and my lighter. I wanted to taste him when we kissed, not the tobacco. Maybe Ezra's mouth could be my new nicotine if I ever decided to quit.
