Zoe’s POV

We arrived at McDonald’s and sat out where the children’s playground was. I waited for our food while Alfie played with Darcy on the slide. Once I was given our food I sat down at the table where I was joined by these 2 childish kids. As we ate, Alfie used Darcy’s chicken nuggets as little jets as they landed in her mouth. The whole time I just observed him goofing around with her; they would laugh and giggle together, and seeing them like that amazed me. After we were done eating, Alfie stayed at the table while Darcy continued her little game in the jungle gym.

“So Alfie, I didn’t know you were great with kids! She practically loves you!” He runs his fingers through his hair as he quietly chuckles to himself.

“I love little kids. I love their innocence.” We exchange smiles, but he soon changes the topic. “It’s such a shame that we couldn’t have done this another day.”

“Why?”

“I wanted to have a little chat with you, remember?” His hand runs smoothly over my arm, each finger running chills through my skin. He had a sinister grin on his face as his bottom lip came between his teeth.

I try to avoid jumping to conclusions for his motives, so I ask innocently, “Why can’t we have the chat here? It’s a good place to talk.” I remove his hand from my arm and glare at him with a playful smile.

His face doesn’t change, but his hands now move onto my own and soon, my hands are covered by his. “I’m not much of a public person. Besides, I don’t think little Darcy would want to hear our not so exclusive conversation.” He tilted his head towards the running child.

I squinted my eyes as my suspicion grew. I knew what Alfie was doing, but I stood my ground. I got up and sat next to Alfie, pressing our bodies closer than I intended too; Alfie clearly didn’t mind. I put my arm up behind Alfie’s head and started tugging at his hair seductively, making the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. I brought my lips close to his ear and sneakily placed my other hand on his hard chest. “I don’t think she can hear us now. Why don’t you tell me now? Hmm?” I tried to sound as seductive as I could as I rubbed small circles on Alfie’s chest. My plan was to psych him out, get him distracted.

Alfie told me back at my house that he wanted me to get to know him, and right now, I could see those weren’t his intentions. But I was getting to know Alfie alright, oh yes, I know guys like him, and I wasn’t let him get away with it. ‘Chat’? Yeah right. I thought maybe there’d be a chance that Alfie actually did want to talk, but his constant touching and ridiculous grin said otherwise. I looked up at Alfie and batted my eyes, causing a shocked reaction from him. His lips parted, his eyebrows rose, and I could feel his heartbeat become faster. He didn’t say anything due to my sudden out of place actions. I laid my head down on his shoulder, “Come on, what did you want to tell me?”

“Umm, I, uh, I forgot.” I wicked smile curved onto my lips as I removed my arms from Alfie abruptly and sat up straight.

“Don’t remember, you told me the other day. Let’s get to know Alfie huh? Come on, I’m so interested in getting to know you.”

“Oh, yeah.”

I went back to my original seat, feeling his glare as I sat down. Alfie Deyes, two can play at this game.

Alfie’s POV

While Zoe was getting our food, I decided to make our little guest feel welcomed, so I played with her on the little playground at the restaurant. A few times here and there, I caught glimpses of Zoe’s tiny little body. I loved how her small frame still included little curves here and there. I could just imagine how easily it would be to pin her down and how my big hands would sit perfectly on her curves, grasping her waist firmly, and she wouldn’t be able to break free. My attention bounced from Darcy to Zoe quite constantly, that is, until Zoe came back with our food. If I wanted to follow through with my plan, I needed to show her my good side, and what a better way to show that than with an idiotic little kid.
