The Fangirl Swirl

15 : Thinking out loud

We got in the car and headed to the restaurant for lunch. I was so embarrased to even look at him. But one thing Grace said got stuck in my mind. What are we? Friends? Couple? What is our relationship at this moment? Do I trust him? Does he trust me? What does he think of us?

"Hey you okay babygirl?" Robert's voice interrupted my thoughts. Wait....he called me babygirl!!! Gosh this must be a dream.

"Yeah! Yeah I am." I said smiling.

"Okay" he said and took my hand to kiss it.

After the small conversation we had, the rest of the ride was silent. We reached a cafè and entered. Robert booked us a booth and now he was again in his disguised look with a beanie and glasses. We ordered our lunch and waited.

"What are you thinking so much?" Robert held my hand over the table and chuckled.

"No nothing." I blinkled a couple of times and replied.

"Umm... well" he said disappointed.

"Its nothing, really" I smiled to assure him.

"If you say so!" He returned the smile. "Okay why don't we get to know each other properly?" He said.

"That's a good idea. Lets ask each other questions and the other one has to answer truthfully. Deal?" I asked.

"Hmm okay! I'm ready! Let's start. I'll go first." He said and I nodded as an approval. "So tell me, do you have any highschool sweetheart?"  He asked curiously.

"Nahh. I never had any!" I said. I could hear him sigh in relief and couldn't help but chuckle.

"That's good you know!" He said.

"Ohh and how is it good?" I chuckled.

"Coz we both know they couldn't compete me anyway." he said and proudly smirked.

"Why would they want to?" I narrowed my eyes jokingly.

"Nevermind. Your turn to ask a question." He said.

"Uhm okay. Lemme think." I said but I don't really know what to ask. I've stalked him too much as a fangirl. Then something striked in my mind. The red lady that he was with in the diner. "Yeah who was that lady in the diner with you that day?" I asked. He suddenly became uncomfortable and shifted in his seat. "Its okay Robert. You don't have to tell me. I'm sorry I got too personal." I said lightly squeezing his hand.

"No its alright. You can ask whatever you want." He said and took a deep breath and continued "actually that lady was Elizabeth. My ex wife."

"Ohh okay. I hope everything's alright between you two." I said out of words. How come the internet never had any news about them? I shouldn't trust the internet so much.

Our food arrived and we started eating. We had cheeseburgers and fries which we had ordered. During the whole time, we talked, laughed, asked questions and made fun of each other....Well, overall I enjoyed it and it had taken my mind off from Grace's question.

Coming out of the cafè, I noted that I still had time before I have to go home. "Where to, now, M'lady?" Robert came up behind me wrapping his hand around my waist. I turned towards him and admired his gorgeous  face. His eyes, his nose, his lips..those lips...slowly turning into a smirk...wait..is he smirking? Oh no. Not again. He had caught me staring at him. Again.

 My eyes widened at the realisation and I took my eyes off of him and turned the other side.
Quickly gaining my breath, I reached out for the car door separating myself from him and getting into it looking straight ahead. Robert got in from the other side and we sat there silently for a minute before I broke the silence by asking him nervously, "Do you, maybe,..umm.. want to come with me somewhere, I mean I am not forcing you to since its not a very ...uhhh...posh area but..no wait..no need...its alright......" I guess I was just rambling because he came closer and pressed his lips against mine. It was short and quick but I loved every second of it.
