Chapter 17 : McDonald's and Moonlight

**Sofia's POV**

Navigating the route to McDonald's was a breeze. The bustling city lights of New York were gradually dimming as they left behind the towering skyscrapers and the bright streets. The hum of the Bugatti's engine was a soothing backdrop to the drive, and Sofia found herself feeling a mix of excitement and nervous anticipation.

As they approached the golden arches, she glanced at Abhishek. "We're here. What do you want?"

He looked up from his thoughts and shrugged. "Anything you think is good."

"Alright," she replied, pulling into the drive-thru lane. She grabbed the menu and began to scan through it, trying to decide what would give him the best McDonald's experience.

When they reached the ordering mic, Sofia spoke up, "Hi, can I get a Big Mac meal with fries and a Coke, and another Big Mac meal with fries and a Diet Coke? Oh, and an extra large fries, please."

"Would you like anything else?" the voice on the intercom asked.

"No, that'll be all," she said, and after confirming the total, they drove up to the window.

Moments later, they had their order, and Abhishek glanced at the bags in the front seat with a mix of curiosity and skepticism.

"So, should we eat here?" he asked.

"Nope," she replied with a grin. "I have a better idea."

Abhishek raised an eyebrow. "Where are we going?"

"You'll see," she said, giving him a playful wink. "Just drive."

He hesitated for a moment but then turned the car back onto the road. She directed him through the winding streets until they reached a secluded hilltop. The panoramic view of New York City stretched out before them, glittering with the lights of countless buildings, creating a stunning display of urban splendor.

"This is my favorite spot," she said as she opened the car top, letting the cool night air sweep through. She handed him his food. "Go ahead, dig in."

Abhishek hesitated, but she urged him to start. "Come on, you're going to love it."

He took a tentative bite of the Big Mac, and she watched as his expression shifted from uncertainty to delight. "So, how is it?" she asked with a chuckle.

"Uh, it's good," he admitted, still savoring the taste. "Really good."

"I told you!" she said triumphantly. "McDonald's is a whole experience."

He laughed softly, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "I guess you were right."

They ate in companionable silence, the occasional laughter breaking the quiet as they exchanged playful comments. At one point, a smudge of ketchup appeared on Abhishek's lip. Before Sofia could stop herself, she reached out and wiped it away with her thumb.

The moment was electric. As soon as her thumb touched his lip, their eyes locked. His green eyes met her blue ones, and for a heartbeat, the world seemed to disappear.

"Sorry," she murmured, pulling her hand back, her face flushing with embarrassment.

Abhishek nodded, a slight smile tugging at his lips. "It's fine."

They resumed eating, and she decided to break the silence. "So, do you have any weird food experiences or guilty pleasures?"

Abhishek raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Weird food experiences? Hmm... well, when I was younger, I used to eat peanut butter and pickle sandwiches. Thought it was a great combo."
