Chapter 7- Escaping

As Xander pulled me to his car I couldn’t help the huge grin that spread across my face as I gazed down at our entwined hands.  He opened the door of his sleek, black jaguar for me. I giggled as he grinned and waggled his eyebrows at me.

“Thank you.” I said shyly. He grinned in reply. I stepped into the car and sat down. He quickly walked to the hood and slid across it and got in. I laughed at his stupidity. He frowned at me but I could see the amusement in his eyes.

“I thought that was pretty cool, being it was my first time doing that.” He pouted. I tried to contain my laughter but one look towards him and we both busted in laughter.

After the laughter died we were launched into a comforting silence but I still wanted to talk to him. To hear his velvet voice that made shivers run dow- wait what am I saying?! After five or so minutes I decided to ask a question that was considered an ice breaker.

“So how’s the weather been treating ya?” I said casually.

I was definitely not expecting the response I received. He stopped the car suddenly and I looked around for any potential danger. Luckily there was extremely light traffic today so there weren’t any cars behind us in the road. I kept looking until I heard the unmistakable sound of laughter coming from the driver’s seat.

I turned to Xander to see him bent over laughing! He was laughing so hard that he had small tears at the corners of his eyes. He was repeatedly banging on the steering wheel as if to get a hold on himself. I frowned and furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. Why was he laughing?

“What’s wrong?” I asked worriedly.

His laughter begins to dissolve into light chuckles. He sits back up and lets out a long sigh. He turns to me, wiping the laughter tears at the corners of his eyes. He smiles at me and lets out another chuckle. I arch one of my eyebrows in question.

“Darling, you just asked me about the weather.” He states obviously chuckling a little.

My lips form an ‘o’ as the realization of how olden aged the question actually was dawned on me. I too laughed hysterically as he started the car again. My laughter stopped just as he pulled into a parking space.

He shuts the car off and gets out. He once again slides across the hood and I do a un-lady like snort. I quickly cover my mouth with my hands and blush. I look up to Xander hoping he didn’t catch that embarrassing feature of mine. He stands there holding the door open, arm outstretched, and an awe-stricken expression on his face. I release one hand from my mouth and put my hand in his grasp.

He pulls me up and strokes my cheek. I release my other hand and automatically lean into his touch, reveling in the sparks that I am now officially addicted to.

“You’re so cute when you snort and blush.” He said the same awed expression in his eyes. I look away and blush. I felt a small smile tug at the corners of my lips. He squeezes my hand that is still wrapped in his. I look up to him to see him turning around and heading toward the restaurant.
