CH 70

"Can I get you two any dessert?" the waiter asked after clearing their plates.

"Yes, please," Lili smiled, she could feel Drew's glare on her cheek as she looked up at the waiter, "What do you guys have?"

"Tonight we have triple chocolate cake with ice cream or a lemon raspberry tart," the waiter smiled.

"Chocolate cake?" Lili looked over at Drew.

"Sounds good," he smiled, playing along even though he was annoyed with her games and just wanted to rush out, the two had been teasing each other ever since he denied her release.

She would slowly drag her foot along his calf, or constantly fix the top of her dress, making his eyes drop every time. He kept his hand on her thigh through most of dinner, half way through he pushed up the sleeves of his dress shirt, Lili's eyes watching his hands, eyes tracing the veins on his forearms, knowing their power made her heart race.

The waiter brought them the cake a few minutes later, both of them thanking him.

The two split the cake, talking about ideas for the wedding as they ate, trying to act like they didn't want to jump each other right then and their, they both still had a reputation to uphold.

"That was divine," Lili smiled, setting down her fork.

"Divine? Are you forty?" Drew chuckled looking over at her.

"Maybe I am, what about it?" she jokingly sassed.

"You've got some," he started to say before using his thumb to wipe a spot of chocolate from under her lip, purposefully letting his finger run over her plump bottom lip, their eyes meeting, hers flickering down to his lips.

Lili put her hand on his that still was on her cheek, before he could pull away she pressed a kiss on the palm of his hand, "Get the check," she smirked. He nodded following her instruction.

Once they paid Drew led Lili out of the restaurant, his jacket still on her shoulders, the two of them being met with the paparazzi out front. They both kept their heads down, hands latched together as the bright flashes went off around them completely lighting up the dark, their names being called out, questions being thrown at them.

"Drew!"

"When's the wedding?"

"Lili!"

"Are you pregnant?"

"God, I hate these people," Lili mumbled to herself as they made it into the parking garage away from the paparazzi.

"That never gets easier," Drew huffed walking beside her.

"They're just so invasive," Lili sighed as they made their was up three floors to their car, no other cars parked around theirs which was near the middle of the building.

They made their way to the car, Drew getting in the drivers seat, Lili in the passenger seat.

"Hey," Lili put her hand on his shoulder as he started the car, he looked over at her confused, "Did they ruin the moment?"
