Rekindled Love (Book 4) || A Tainted Love Book || Matt Sturniolo Fanfiction

I took her to her favorite restaurant, Olive Garden. In her eyes it was fine dining, and it would always make me laugh. When we pulled into the parking lot her eyes widened like a child on Christmas. 

"Fine dining," We looked at each other and spoke at the same time, causing laughter. 

I got out of the car and opened the door for her, and we walked in. The hostess took us to a table, and we looked at the menu.

"I don't know why I look at the menu, I get the same thing every fucking time," She laughed.

"grilled chicken alfredo and a water," I smiled.

She hid her face behind the menu but I could just tell she was smiling. The waiter came over and took our order and she pulled out her phone.

"Look at this edit I saw," She showed me an edit of the two of us from the new podcast episode.

"You have it saved," I teased her.

"I think it's cute," She smiled.

She looked back down at her phone and I quickly took a photo of her and tagged her on my story.

"Oh you're insane,"  She laughed, then reposted it on her story.

The waiter came out with breadsticks and salad and I had to control the cheese because if Avalon had it her way, we would get the whole block. Once the waiter walked away Avalon picked a banana pepper out and quickly ate it.

"Do you want the other one?" 

"Do YOU want the other one?" She asked.

"No, they're gross," I laughed.

"Shut the fuck up," She took it and ate it and I just laughed.

We sat there and talked until our food came out, and then we sat in silence. I took a piece of her chicken and she smacked my hand. 

"Excuse you-" I accidentally laughed loud.

"Excuse YOU, give it back," She tried not to laugh.

I put it my mouth quickly and ate it. Causing her to glare at me.

"I can spit it back up and feed you like a baby bird," I suggested trying to stay serious.

"I-" She was taken back by what I said, causing me to crack up, "That's it, I'm gonna go vom," she started to stand up but I wrapped my leg around hers so she couldn't move.

"Sit down," I couldn't stop laughing.

She huffed and finished her food, and so did I. We paid on the tablet thing at the table and left. While we walked to the car we were standing closer then normal, our hands almost brushing against each other multiple times. 

"Do you want to be alone or no?" I asked, opening the car door for her.

"Uh, no, actually," She gave me a small smile.

"Alright," I drove back to my place instead of hers, and when we got in the driveway she looked over at me.

"Wh-" She cut me off and kissed me.

I kissed her back, and she put her forehead on mine.

"Thank you for being patient," She spoke in her hushed tone.

"I'll wait light years for you Avalon," I kissed her forehead.

We both got out of the car and she ran upstairs, and I heard Nick yell in excitement. I smiled to myself and saw Chris standing in the doorway.

"You guys kissed," His eyes widened.

"I don't know what you're talking about," I lied.

"I saw you," He smirked.
