The Thief(Complete) (Sample)

VI.

"So.. Where are we going?" I asked Theo.

"Have you ever been wine tasting?"

"No, I don't drink much." I expressed and he looked almost as if he screwed up and I shook my head.

"I just don't have any friends to enjoy a night out or anything like that, I've had a cup of vodka at a party once and after that, I just don't drink too much."

"We don't have to go, we can do something else!" he offered and I smiled while shaking my head no again.

"It's okay, come on, let's go wine tasting but remember that I need to be back by 2!"

"Absolutely! You know what, I have a better idea!" He said while driving down the busy street, I began to slowly lower my body.

He glances at me then watches the road again, I was making sure Adam couldn't see me if we passed by him. He drove to Cheesecake Factory, this or wine tasting would have been fine but I'll enjoy this. He got a table in the back, private dining was a first for me. He pulled the chair out for me like he did last night, he was more casual today and not dressed up in his formal attire. I don't have many clothes but I keep myself decent enough and his fiance looked and dressed expensively.

"There's beer, wine and different cocktails on the menu! I promise you that you won't be disappointed and there's a bar over there, we can definitely indulge in happy hour too!" he points at the bar and I laughed.

"Your laugh and smile are very refreshing, to say the least."

"Thank you, you're not bad yourself!" I smiled at him in return then I noticed him blushing, I made a dangerous man blush.

He orders a beer and then points at the Pineapple Mojito.

"You should try this.." he says to me and I read the description.

"It'll go down smooth with whatever appetizer you pick and whatever meal you choose afterward! You might wanna try wine, who knows?" he shrugs and I nod my head and get the mojito. We agreed on the warm crab and artichoke dip, I glanced at my watch to make sure that I had more than enough time.

"Any luck with hearing back from the places that you applied for?" He asked curiously and I shook my head no.

"I'm probably gonna go to this job fair next Monday, hopefully I stand out a bit!" I expressed and he leans forward a bit.

"Are you good with computers?"

"Yeah, just don't own one to use it regularly!" I replied with a shrug.

"What about answering phones or like sales?"

"Well if working at the café has taught me anything, I'm great at selling some of the nastiest shit on the menu and people think it's the greatest slop that they've ever eaten.." I explained and he burst into laughter but I was serious.

"You're so good, I'm not even going to lie to you! I only go for the waffles, homemade biscuits and you.." He said and I put my head down a bit then lift it back up with a smile.

"Do you say that to every girl that you encounter or?" I asked curiously and he tilts his head with a smile.

"Honestly, you're one of the most striking women that I've ever seen in my entire life so to be truthful, I don't say that to every woman that I encounter." He explains as the server comes back to the table with our drinks, she tells us that it'll be a few minutes for the dip so we engaged back to our conversation.

"You have a girlfriend, well fiancé!"

"Okay, gonna lay everything out for you.." he insisted and I nodded with a nervous smirk while sipping my mojito.
