Kimberly POV

Jalen grabbed my hand as he was driving causing me to blush and look out the window.

"I hope you not getting shy over me just holding your hand because I plan on doing more than that some day." He said causing me to look over at him shook af to see him smirking.

"Boy, ain't nobody shy, you just caught me off guard." I said, and boy did he catch me off guard with that one. I mean I've thought of doing more with Jalen but I didn't think he would return the feelings. After a ride of is singing off key me on purpose, Jalen just couldn't sing and a some more random conversations we finally arrived at the restaurant.

Jalen got out and walked over to my side and opened the door me before helping me out, he shut the door and took my hand we walked inside. It was beautiful, I guess this place was new because I've never heard of it. I was snapped out of my little gazing when I heard Jalen say we had a reservation and told the man his last name.

"Right this way sir." The man told Jalen as we followed him. "Is this okay?" The man asked pointing to a booth that was kinda at the back of the restaurant but it was secluded and I like it.

"Yes, this is fine." Jalen answered for the both of us. I sat down and Jalen got on his side.

"Here are your menus and your waiter should be with you shortly." The man said said before walking away.

"This okay Kim?" Jalen asked looking at me with his fine ass eyes and them lips I just wanted to suck off his face. "Kim what do you be thinking about?" Jalen asked another question snapping me out of my own reality.

"Huh? Oh yeah. This is great thanks Jalen, more than enough. And I couldn't tell you if I wanted to." I said smiling lightly. Jalen raised his eyebrow before sitting back slowly in his booth chair, crossing his hands. The way he was looking at me wasn't making it any better. "You umm, know what you want?" I asked looking down at my menu not really searching just trying to distract myself.

"Yeah. I know exactly what I wanna eat." I heard Jalen say. If I hadn't spent time on my hair I probably would have ran my hand through my hair out of habit. But then I thought to myself Kimberly we can't let him see you sweat if he wanna play this game so can we, I don't know what Jalen got that's making me act this way but we can't let him keep doing it.

"Same." I stated bluntly looking him in the eyes and biting my lip. Jalen look to have got choked up himself.

"Hi, I'm Mel I'll be your server today, the specials are-" she continued but I was zoned out on what she was saying. "Can I get you guys started with some drinks? We have Pepsi products, tea, lemonade."

"What do you want Kim?" Jalen asked looking at me.

"Yeah, can I have a kiwi lemonade?" I asked looking up at the pretty waiter. She smiled at me a little bit to much before turning to Jalen, a smile still on her face just not as big.

"I'll have the same, thanks." He said giving her nod.

"Alright I'll have those out to ya, and be back to take your orders." She said we both smiled at her and she walked away. Jalen turned to his menu and I just had to mess with him.

"I thought you knew what you wanted" I said sarcastically, with me laughing at the end.

"I still do." He said looking back at me then turning back to his menu "Now figure out what you want to eat before the waitress comes back and eye fuck you some more." He said.
