Selfless

Chapter 24

"You brought me to a Persian restaurant." Sadia observes with a smile as I park the car.

I move my sunglasses to my head before turning off the car. "Yeah. You're always cooking Persian food, figured it was your favorite." I also know that she is able to eat everything on the menu here, because it doesn't serve pork.

"You happen to be right." She smiles softly.

I grin. "Don't get out yet." I say while getting out, she gives me a questioning look but I ignore it as I quickly go to her side and open her door. She smiles and stands. "I should have known that's what you were doing."

I shrug and close the door before grabbing her hand and leading us to the restaurant.

I look her over as we walk, liking what I see, I always do. She could never disappoint.

Both of us dressed casually. I wore a tropical print top with matching high waisted shorts. The kimono that came with it, I tied around my waist. Sadia wore a blue floral romper. Both of us had our bikinis under our outfits because we planned on going to the beach after. I had the perfect spot picked out, before Sadia woke up I went out, explored a little and asked around. That's how I found this restaurant.

We're led to our seats by a waiter and tell him to give us a minute to order our food. We do go ahead and order our drinks though.

"What should I order?" I ask as I look at the menu. "Actually I'll just let you order for me." I smile and set the menu down.

"I'll order us Dolmeh, it's so good."

"What is it?"

"Stuffed grape leaves."

I smirk. "I trust your tastes. It must be excellent if you like me."

She rolls her eyes.

The waiter returns with our drinks and we order the same thing before he goes off.

"So tell me, hermosa, what's it like being so beautiful?" With my elbow on the table I rest my chin in the palm of my hand and smile.

She rolls her eyes but can't hide her smile. "You're so stupid."

I chuckle and grab my straw to open and put in my drink. "I just wanna know."

"You already do, you're the most beautiful girl I know remember?" I feel my face flush a bit. I know I'm attractive, but when she says it, it's different.

"Awww, you're blushing." She teases.

I ignore her. "Do you like it here, in Cancun?"

She nods. "It's pretty. I've never been anywhere like it."

"I'm glad be the one your first time was with." I smile.

She squints her eyes and raises a brow as she sits back in her chair. "Is there a double meaning behind that?"

I smirk and shrug. "If you want there to be. But you already knew I was glad about that." I honestly hadn't intended for there to be but it works.

She smiles before biting her lip and looking down at her hands as she plays with her straw paper. "Yeah."

I lean forward. "What?"

"Nothing." She doesn't look at me.

I purse my lips to hide my smile. "Are you remembering?" I tease.

She looks up with a glare and throws her balled up straw paper at me. "I'm not."

I giggle and hum skeptically. The waiter happens to show up in that moment with our food. My first bite of what she ordered and I was in heaven, she wasn't lying it's amazing.
