Chapter 23
Mavis POV
"So where are we going?" I asked Grayson as he started the car. I was doing my very, very best to try and hide the giddyness that was about to make me squeal.
"It's kind of a surprise" he shrugged giving me a smile, that made me smile even wider.
"Can I get a hint at least?" I asked hopefully.
"You'll just have to wait and see, but first food" he tapped my nose making me giggle.
He took us to Johnny Rockets, which was favorite place to eat.
"How did you know I loved this place?" I asked him as we walked hand in hand towards the diner.
"I didn't" he shrugged.
We slid into the red vinyl seats and looked at the menus. I decided on a bacon burger with onion rings. Grayson's phone rang making me look up at him.
"I'm so so so so sorry, I need to take this it'll just be a sec" he pleaded.
"Of course" I gave him a reassuring smile before he went outside to talk. I don't know why he was nervous it's just a phone call.
"Are you ready to order?" A young blonde asked holding her pen and pad ready to write. I opened my mouth to speak but nothing came out. She looked at me expectantly, annoyance appearing on her face at my quietness.
"Hello, are you deaf?" She waved her hand in my face making me move back further into my seat.
"Are you ready to order or not" she crossed her arms.
"No" Grayson appeared. "Not yet sorry"
"Oh it's fine" her mood changed completely. She went from bitchy to flirtatious in 0.1 seconds. "I'll be back in a couple minutes, by all means take your time" she gave us a faux smile and went back to the kitchen.
"Sorry about that" he slid into his seat. "But change of plans"
"What do you mean?" I asked confused. Was the date over? Did he not want to continue this? Am I that boring?
"I had something planned but it's not working out so we are going to take this to go and do something else" he smiled at me holding my hand.
"Okay" I blushed.
"Are we ready now?" The blonde popped up again. This time her hair was down instead of up in a bun and she had the tiniest bit of make up applied.
"Yes I'll have the bacon burger with a side of onion rings and..." he looked at me.
"Same thing" I mumbled.
"She'll have the same" he handed her back the menus. "To go please"
"You got it" she stroked his arm before leaving. I glared at her back as she walked away.
"Move over" he commanded. I gave him a confused look but did it anyways. He got up and slid into the seat next to me slinging his arm around my shoulders pulling me closer.
"You don't have to be jealous" he made me look up at him by putting his hand under my chin. "I only have eyes for you, beautiful"
I blushed at his compliment hoping he wouldn't notice. I looked down at his plump, pink lips licking my own at the thought of kissing him. I wanted to really bad but I wasn't brave enough to make a move. So I just looked down tucking a strand of hair behind my ear.
"Well your not so bad yourself" I chuckled. He held my chin gently, making me face him. He gazed into my eyes and began to slowly lean in. I closed my eyes ready to savor him.
