DATING Leighton Butler seemed like a fever dream to Bella.

The younger girl who she called hers was absolutely alluring. Bella hated to call her breathtaking, because the word did not do her justice. She was more than breathtaking.

Being able to call Leighton her girlfriend was the biggest privilege and flex ever. Bella understood what she had, and she planned on keeping her lover close.

"Bell do you want more Peach Tea to go?" Her soft voice made Bella fold her hands slightly, and nod. The model watched as her girlfriend turned towards the waitress and asked for more tea and more napkins.

Bella loved when Leighton ordered for her. Bella just liked seeing Leighton in control. It was hot.

Leighton reached towards her phone, her tattoo covered hands tapping the screen gently. Bella could see the girl had several notifications, watching as the girl cleared them all.

"I love this place so much. It is so cute."

"You're right it is." Leighton stopped looking around for a moment, her eyes meeting Bella's. The model allowed a small smirk to cover her face.

"Stop." The Butler girl was blushing under the stare of Bella. Leighton was convinced she'd forever be nervous around Bella when she made comments like that; cute or hot alike.

"You know you don't want me to stop."

"Shut up." Leighton reached across the table, taking a piece of French Toast from Bella's plate. Leighton had already finished her pancakes, but Bella was taking her good ol' time. The model was taking interval breaks. These breaks gave her time to watch Leighton in her natural element.

"I'm so excited for you to meet my dad. And Clarissa."

"Me too. I'm excited for those ribs too." Bella smiled brightly, making Leighton giggle softly. "But I'm most excited to meet the fam obviously!"

"Oh yeah obviously." Leighton bit her lip, watching as Bella cut up more of her meal.

When the waitress returned, she set a to-go cup in front of Bella, and handed the check to Leighton.

"Thank you." Bella stated with a kind smile, handing the girl two twenties. The girl smiled back, grabbing the cash.

"I'll be back with your change."

"Keep the change." The girl looked back at Bella like the model had four eyes.

"Ma'am that's almost a fifteen dollar tip."

"I know. Thank you. The food was amazing. Happy fourth." The model sent the girl a wink, making the waitress smile brightly and thank Bella multiple times before walking away.

"You told me I could pay today." Leighton had her card in her hand, ready to pay.

"I lied." Bella set down her fork, watching as Leighton shook her head, and placed her card back in her wallet. "Ready to go?"

Leighton nodded, standing up. Bella grabbed her cup of tea, and purse, before pushing in the chair. Bella started walking towards the exit of the tiny restaurant, making sure she had everything. Leighton was right behind her, checking her phone, and adjusting her sunglasses.

The model opened the door, thanking the hostess once more. Bella held the door open for Leighton, and offered her open hand for the smaller girl to hold as she stepped out of the restaurant. Leighton didn't look up from her phone, but instantly grabbed onto Bella's hand. It was as if Leighton knew her girlfriend's hand was there.

When Leighton looked up, she saw a couple paparazzi surrounding the girls. Bella's security quickly assumed their positions, making sure the two girls were not touched by any of the photographers.
