Our conversation is interrupted by my phone ringing.
"Hello"
"Hey Lala, what are you doing? You eat breakfast yet?"
"I'm just walking, and no why??"
"Cause I know you like to eat breakfast early and it's getting late c'mon"
The call cuts off and a car pulls up next to me, immediately the passenger door swings open "Get in the car let's go."
I stand there confused. "Get in the fucking car Arabella im not supposed to be stopped here." He chuckles, clearly amused by my confusion. I got in the familiar car, I missed that smell.
"JJ how the fuck did you know where I was?" He laughs, "I promise I will explain everything but first we need to get some food." "What are we getting?" I inquire. A smug smile instantly adorns his face, "You'll see."
We pick up food from one of my favorite places and head over to the closest park. We sit down at a table, he hands me my box of food, and I open it to see it's my usual order from there. Aww he remembered. "Alright" he says, already taking a bite of food. "Thank you" I reply "Anytime" He says softly. We enjoy our food peacefully, occasionally laughing over my fear of squirrels when one comes near us.
"Lala, can I ask you something?" I nod my head signaling him to continue, "Are you attracted to me- like sexually?" Caught off guard I choke on the last bit of food going down my throat, "Uhm i don't know, honestly. Maybe sometimes?? If you were to tell me, 'Lets go fuck in the car right now' no, I don't want to. When we've had sex in the past though, in that moment yes it's something that felt right- I felt safe, and I wanted to do it." He nods his head understanding what I just said.
"So, uh you and Colin?" He asks avoiding eye contact. I start laughing, "Oh that one, yeah I broke up with him- cheated on me cause I wouldnt have sex with him." He looks at me with a mix of shock, relief, and confusion. "I'm sorry," I start "it wasn't okay for me to just 'hey i'm in a relationship lol' from one day to the next without at least telling you about it." "You didn't owe me shit-" "we weren't exactly just friends…" I interrupt. "Well," he says, starting to get up from the bench, "I accept your apology on one condition. Come with me and don't ask questions." He reaches out his hand to help me up and I take it. We throw our trash away and walk back to his car, once inside he hands me a bandana, "Here put this on over your eyes." "I swear if this is to fulfill your kidnapping kink-" "How many times do I need to tell you I don't have a kidnapping kink!" He begs, I love fucking with him. I fold the bandana and tie it behind my head, "¡Listo!" I exclaim and we start heading to our next destination.
