Lillys POV

“Why don't you tell him thank you for me when he comes back?” He asks me with an adorable puppy dog expression along with pouty lips

I let out a soft giggle as  I watch this grown man act childish.

“O-okay” I say to him along with a big smile evident on my face.

The cashier guy comes out with our ice creams in his hand as he gives me mine and gives Hunter his.

I quickly put the cold vanilla-y goodness into my mouth and almost moan as the amazing vanilla taste hits my taste buds.

Lost in my thoughts as I eat my ice cream in the small ice cream parlour, I don't realise Hunter watching me with his pitch black eyes.

I look up and see Hunter staring directly at me with adoration visible in his eyes. I let out a small smile as I continue eating my ice cream along with getting it all over my face. I'm quite the messy eater if I may say so myself.

I look up towards Hunter, he hasn't even started eating his ice cream whilst I'm almost half way through mine.

“D-Do you not like your ice cream?” I ask him, looking into his eyes.

“I'm not much of an ice cream person” He says to him.

'If he's not an ice cream person then why did he want to come to the ice cream parlour?' I think to myself.

I quickly finish my ice cream. I look up to him with my hands and mouth all sticky.

“Tissue?” I ask politely without stuttering.

He calls the same cashier over asking him for some tissues. The cashier quickly brings over some cute tissues with little ice cream cones on it.

'Fancy much?' I think to myself.

Hunter takes the tissues from the guys hands as he gently takes my hands and starts wiping all the sticky ice cream from it.

He then takes another tissue which he uses to wipe my mouth and gives me a soft smile whilst waking over to the small bin and throwing the used tissues in it.

“Lets go?” He asks as he puts his hand out for me to take.

I place my small hand in his slighty rough yet gigantically huge hand.

We both walk out the ice cream parlour, hand in hand. He stops as a young girl bumps into him with a nervous look on her face.

“Here” He says to her placing the slightly soggy and melted ice cream in her hand.

The young girl gives him the biggest smile I've ever seen along with a polite and soft 'thank you'. She holds the ice cream in her hands as if it was good as she scurries away.

I look up at Hunter and give him a sweet smile. He responds with an even bigger smile as he slightly tugs on my hand.

Walking towards  his car, he quickly opens the front door for me and waits for me to sit. He then jumps into the drivers seat and puts his seatbelt on.

He turns towards me and smirks as his hand reaches over to my seatbelt, his warm breath fans  my face whilst he puts my seatbelt on and starts the car.

As we drive, I look out the window and get lost in my thoughts about Hunter.

I think about the first day I met him in the bakery, and then about him and his mom. I smile to myself as I think about what an amazing  son she raised.

Hunter may look mean and tough, but he is kind. Deep down inside him, he has a good side despite being in the mafia.

I think about how everytime I'm with Hunter and when he calls me 'baby girl' in his deep alluring voice, I feel myself heart melt a little bit. He makes me nervous but also makes my heart sometimes skip a beat.

I feel like I want to be wrapped in his warm embrace whilst he carries me and rubs my back. I feel very shy yet very safe around him.

Something I've never felt before. I feel myself become more and more comfortable with and around him.

As I gazed off into the distance, lost in my own thoughts I didn't even realize when I reached my house.

“-lly Lilly?” Hunter says while gently rubbing my arms.

“Hmm-?” I say as I snap out of my daydream.

“We reached your uh-” He stops as he looks at our surroundings and my tiny house. “-house” He says as he turns back and looks at me.

“Huh- Oh sorry! I was lost in my thoughts” I say with an apologetic smile on my face whilst trying to unbuckle my seat belt.

“Wait.  I'll do it for you” He says with a pointed look on his face as he watches me struggle to unbuckle the seat belt.

He stretches over to unbuckle me. As he unbuckles it I feel his warm and minty breath hit the side of my face.

I feel goosebumps appear all over my body as I get nervous by him being so close to me

“T-Thank you” I stutter nervously and I try to control my breathing and get rid of the goosebumps.

He unbuckles his seat belt and jumps out of the car. I look at him with a confused look on my face.

'What is he jumping out for?' I think to myself.

He walks around the car and stops at my side. He opens the car door and puts his hand out.

I put my hand into his warm one and jump out of the car. He lets go of my hand and places his at my back guiding me to walk.
