Adira's pov

Shit.

I should've known by the voice, or way he walked, or even how he wrote down the orders, but I didn't; I didn't notice and now this is going to get me into deep shit.

"What can I get for you, Adira?" My ex boyfriend Ethan asks. I smile back nervously telling him my order while he grazes his eyes up and down my body.

Caspian's arm around my waist tightens, without him saying anything I can understand that he's suspicious of the waiter but still doesn't say anything until after Ethan has left our table. "Who is that? How does he know your name? I didn't like how he looked at you. Do you know him? Wh-" He peppers me with question after question, barely taking a break to breathe.

"God Caprisun, shut up. I'll answer your questions but one at a time please." I cut him off from his million questions. "Sorry, first of all, can you tell me who he is?" He lets out a deep breath moving his hand from around my waist and laying it onto my thigh.

"That was my ex boyfriend, and that's how he knows my name too." Answering his question a waitress walks past our table throwing a dirty look at Leo and Alex who are now eating eachothers faces. "Dude, can you stop kissing my sister for like an hour at least." Caspian groans running his other hand over his hair after taking a drink.

"Mate, you got your girl, I got mine and I'm gonna show mine how much I love her." Leo shrugs going back to kissing Alex. "Gross" Casp and I both say at the same time looking into eachothers eyes until a fit of giggles overtakes us.

"So he's just your ex?" After we calm down from laughing Caspian says. "Well, technically yes." It is true that he was my ex, but not just my ex. He also caused alot of mental pain, breakdowns and occasionally hit me but I'm not going to get into the in the middle of a restaurant on a date.

"Adira, what do you mean technically?" Caspian drops the straw he was twiddling with back into his drink looking me in the eyes. "Shit. It doesn't matter right now, I'll tell you when we get back to the hotel. I promise." Smiling I kiss his lips as Ethan places down our food.

Caspian casts a death glare at Ethan's back as he walks away from our table. "I hate him and I don't even know him." He huffs stabbing the fork into his food. We all eat talking among ourselves until most of the restaurant is quiet with only a couple of men and women chating at the bar.

"Do you want to get dessert? Or would you like dessert?" Caspian whispers in my ear with his arm around my waist once again. The same word yet the way Caspian said it meant that there was a difference, it was very clear for me what he meant.

Caspian continues looking at me with desire in his eyes while his hot breath against my neck makes me shiver. "Yes." I answer leaning into his touch, it was like we were the only people; until Leo spoke up "You idiots are fucking like rabbits I'm surprised that she isn't pregnant but please stop. I don't really care if you do it in your own rooms or at your house but PLEASE do not do it in the middle of a restaurant" He does have a point but Caspian's touch is just so addicting.

"You have a point, let's go then." Caspian picks me up by my waist to get out of the booth and even though he probably meant nothing sexual about it, it was still very hot and sent butterflies all around my body.
