MINE ALONE

Chapter Fourteen

On our way to the restaurant we drove in silence, Daniel glued his eyes on the outside world completely blocking me out. I gripped the steering wheel until my knuckles turned white before I finally spoke. What do you want to eat princess?

Anything you have to offer, he replied, still focusing on the view outside.

Hmm ok. We arrived at the restaurant about half an hour later. Since it was a decision made on the block I didn't think much about where to take him and if I'm being honest, I only brought up dinner to get some time with him. We both got out of the car and he walked off before I could even close my door, sighing, I shoved my hands in my pockets and troughed behind him.

Daniel walked up and pushed the door, I stopped and stared as he attempted four more times to open the door but failed miserably. I stood there, unsure of what to do before bursting out laughing. He turned to look at me pouting angrily and couldn't help but laugh more, how is it possible for one person to be this cute?

I willed myself to stop laughing and went up to him. Im sorry princess, but the way you struggled with the door just now has got to be a lie. He didn't reply and just turned his head to the side as red began painting his cheeks. Wait, he really couldn't open the door? I shook my head, deciding to drop the topic. Pushing the door open, I walked in, turned, and reached for his hand pulling him inside, he tripped over his feet but caught himself before glaring at me. I chuckled and walked towards an empty table close to the windows where you could get a view of the outside. Pulling out a chair I waited for him to be seated before I took my own and called for a waitress close by. She walked over, gave us our menu, and said to call for her when we were ready to order. I nodded and waved her away to which she replied with a bow and left.

Daniel Pov

I watched the interaction between Elliot and the waitress and rolled my eyes when she walked away. The bitch was clearly giving signs but I guess he didn't catch on since he simply waved her away like that. Deciding to look over my menu and decide on what to order, I opened the menu. My jaws dropped when I saw the prices. Is this place for real? What is going on with the meals in this place? Are they made of gold or diamond? I slowly looked up at Elliot to see if he was also freaking out about the menu but he looked surprisingly calm. It's almost as if it wasn't anything new to him.

What shocked me more was when he asked Have you decided on what to order yet? Please choose anything you see that would fit your taste. my mouth opened and closed several times before I could reply. Are you sure your pockets are gonna be alright? This place is a bit pricey.

He looked at me with wide eyes before he leaned back and chuckled. You're the first person to ever be worried about my pocket. But it's alright, my treat. I wasn't sure how to respond so I just nodded. Scanning the menu I looked for the cheapest thing which was the pasta, don't get me wrong, but I did want to try the strawberry banana smoothie and black forest cake.

I'll go with the pasta, he cucked his head to the side and folded his arms. You sure that's all? he asked, and I nodded.

Elliot Pov

I noticed how he was staring at the cake and smoothie, but he chose the pasta due to his concern for my pocket. If I'm being honest, no date has ever thought about my pocket. They'd just order whatever is most expensive. I waved to the waitress signaling that we were ready to order. She came over and took our menu, nodded, and left. I turned my attention back to Daniel who was looking at his hands under the table. I could tell he was, most likely, playing with his fingers. So are you just not gonna talk to me for dinner, I asked, not once taking my eyes off him.

He looked up and profusely shook his head. No, I just thought that there was nothing to talk about, he said but regretted it. He nibbled at his bottom lip. What would it be like to bite those lips until he begged me to stop? My dick seemed to wonder the same as it stirred in my pants. So you thought there was nothing to talk about and so you decided all on your own to not talk to me?. Guilt flashed in his eyes and he lowered his head. Look at me when I'm speaking princess. Dont hide that pretty face Red coated his cheeks as he looked everywhere except me. I smirked. So about what happened that day I– the waitress placed the dishes on the table interrupting me and I glared at her. She looked confused but apologized and left. Turning my attention back to Daniel, I saw him looking at the dishes, mouth agape, and a horrified expression.

I think she brought the wrong dishes to the wrong table. he said, panicking. A chuckle escaped my lips and leaned forward. There's no mistake, princess, I ordered these delicacies for you. Enjoy.

No, we can't, don't you know how expensive these are? he asked, looking all over for the waitress. Well have to sell our kidneys to pay for these and I'm not ready to donate any of my organs.

I tried so hard to suppress my laughter that I swear my lungs lost air. After regaining my composure, I looked up It won't put any strain on my pocket and I want you to have a lovely evening with me. It's ok, I can afford it." I said, offering a smile. He seemed to be convinced because he nodded and picked up the fork heading for the cake first as his eyes shone with anticipation.

With every bite, he exhaled. Humming as he chewed, and swallowed like it was his last. He reached for the smoothie and inspected it, slowly bring the straw to his lips and took a drag. His eyes widened, oh my god, what is this? The flavor is beyond this world! he exclaimed, covering his mouth. Seeing him so happy made me happy and I couldn't help but feel proud. I watched as Daniel ate his fill, completely forgetting he was worried about the prices not too long ago. After an hour of licking his ten fingers, he sunk into his chair and burped, patting his tummy expressing his satisfaction. The waitress walked up with a smile. How will you pay sir? Card or cash? I threw her my card. Let us be on our way now princess, you're full are you not? he nodded and followed me out the door. Going to the passenger's seat I opened the door and waited for Daniel to settle in before I got in and sped off.

Stay tuned for chapter fifteen because that is where the tension will rise.
