When it Happened *(Completed) EDITING

CHAPTER 36

"For starters, you tap your thumb," He glances his eyes down. "As your doing right now when I'm near you," He says as he's looking at my thumb. Smartass. I need help with this. I don't even know anymore when I'm doing it.

"Second, you throw objects at me when you're angry," He chuckles. I narrow my eyes at him. Shit, did he have to mention that?

"You tell me to get out most of the time."

"You make me angry," He says as he shrugs his shoulders.

"You love the way I make your body feel into something you haven't experienced," He says in a husky, sexy ass voice. His eyes look deep.

"When I kiss you, you tremble." I swallow, and now I'm begging to see where he's going with this.

"When you sleep next to me, you're in peace and cuddle next to me, holding me tight."

I'm in shock, but I don't know If I should feel embarrassed by his answer 2, 3 & 4. I'm numb to know how he knows the little things like when I cuddle with him, or how I tremble when he kisses me. I mean, I don't remember If Michael ever noticed those two specifics at all? And of course, we are interrupted by the fucking blonde waitress. Seriously. I tilt my head at her.

"Have you decided what drinks you'd like, Mr. Thomas?" she asks, and she's all smiles again. Must she only ask what he needs? Lady's first dear. 

"Mrs. Taylor and I will have the Chateaux, Liftite by Rothschild, the bottle," He begins "For starters, will start with The Oyster and Pearls, She'll have the Halibut, and I'll have the Sea Scallops," He murmurs as he orders for both of us and come to think of it, I don't remember asking for what he said, but, I do like Halibut. I smile with acceptance.

"Thank you, Sara," he murmurs and hands her over the menu. Oh, he knows her name. And she eyes him again and gives him a huge smile and doesn't even look my way, as I'm not here. WTH. I have to keep my calm. I look over to her as she walks away, and I notice her dress can't get any tighter. Youngins, It's cute how he doesn't even acknowledge her, though.

"So, you were saying?" I insisted, placing both my elbows on the table and my fingers crossed under my chin.

"That you're unbelievably beautiful," he beams at me. Oh my.

"Such a charmer," I chuckle. I am trying to figure him out. There's something I'm missing here. I know it.

"What are you doing, Alix," he says, shaking his head, also trying to figure me out.

"Nothing, I...I think there's so much I don't know about you," I admit. I look at the crystal wine glass in front of me. It sparkles beautifully. This place is stunning.

"I thought we covered that," he curiously responds, and the waitress comes with the Bottle. YES! We both look at her as she's opening it. Joe is gazing at me. Why must he make me feel so wet down there, with his eyes? I want to launch myself at him. She pours the wine in my glass. Then in Joe's, as he pays no mind to her. I think he knows she's trying to flirt with him. She puts the bottle right in front of him. Figures. He nods and blinks at her then back at me.

"Is this the way it is, all these young girls flirting with you?"

"I don't know what you mean by that, but if you're asking me if I like the way you're flirting with me, then, yeah."

"Joe, why must you ignore what I'm saying? You bother me," he frowns. I take a sip of my wine.delicious. He knows his selection for sure. I do have to admit, I'm not a fan of much wine, but the one he chose for us tonight goes down very smoothly as my head feels a bit fuzzy.
