Secrets // C.H

Chpt 22

*Calum's POV*

"Where did you wanna get food?" Tessa questioned keeping her eyes on the road as she turned the radio station down.

Lost in my thoughts I quickly shook and shrugged.

Tessa scoffed "your no help you know"

I rolled my eyes and continued to look at the many stores and cars pass by us as she drove. My mind was still on the kiss we shared earlier this morning.

I didn't like this but again I craved it. I was so dazed when ever my lips locked with hers. The way I would control her mouth. It was like we never had to gasp for air but in the end we'd eventually have to.

But in the end we couldn't have anything more. She was a girl just trying to make ends meet and I was a well known killer. The difference was she could find love, I couldn't, I never would.

"We're here"

I looked up seeing we were in front of a nice size sea food dining area. There was a lot of people surrounding the building advertising that it was a pretty popular joint.

Tessa got out the car and I followed as my stomach got in position to attack at any moment if I didn't feed it something.

Stares followed us as we got in line and Tessa going through her purse. I noticed quite a few guys glancing her way and scrolling up and down her body. Especially since she was wearing a nice little shirt that was showing a good view of her chest.

I leaned over her way "Next time wear a more concealing shirt." I grunted as I shifted her body a little closer to mine making the few guys eyeing her scowl.

We finally reached the counter and an older male about in his 30's smiled at us.

"Are you guys dining in this evening or is this to go? " he questioned making Tessa smile back

"Dine in please and I'll have the grilled shrimp on a stick, a small salad, no tomatoes and a water." Tessa looked over to me once she finished.

"Uh just give me the Grilled and fried shrimp plate and a coke"

The man nodded telling us our food will be out soon and I paid for the meal after a small disagreement with Tessa. After we got our number we sat in a little booth toward the back of the restaurant.

"You've been here before?" I asked Tessa and she nodded.

" Tony brought some to work while he was on break and he gave me a few pieces reluctantly" she laughed before sitting her chin on the palm of her hand leaning in some.

"You have to work tomorrow?"

"No thank god"

I smirked at her reaction and thought of some of things we could do tomorrow since I honestly didn't want to stay in the house.

"Maybe we'll go to a house party tomorrow yeah?" I questioned and she shrugged.

"I don't mind"

I nodded as a waitress eyed Us before giving us our meals.

"I-I um enjoy your meal" She said rather quickly before scurrying to the back of the counter and whispering things to another worker causing them to look this way at us as well.
