Chapter 11 - Getting closer

Franco was quiet and I stared outside the window,to the passing building.

"I think we should eat something before we reach your home."

He suggested.

"I am not hungry but if you want to have a snack then we can."

I said.

"Suggest a good place. Enter it on the map."

Franco ordered. Does he ever asks?

I entered the Cafe Macchiato's on the map and sat quietly.

I have never taken anyone else other than Cindy to Cafe Macchiato, Franco was the second person whom I am taking there. It was the place where I felt most comfortable and cozy, I have never even been there with any of my friend. When Franco asked me suggest a place don't why it was the first place that hit head and I just wanted to show him the place .

We reached the cafe and luckily there wasn't much crowd there, I directed Franco to the booth where I usually like to sit with Cindy.

We made ourselves comfortable and sat opposite to each other,when a blonde waitress appeared to take our orders.

"What would you like to have,sir?"

She asked Franco,obviously awed by his stunning body and gorgeous face.

Franco pointed at me to order food and she smiled awkwardly,looking at me.

"A Baguette Sandwich and a Latte macchiato will do."

I said.

She looked at Franco and he spoke,

"Same as hers."

I giggled listening to him. He smiled back.

"So I suppose this substitutes the date,you asked for,right?"

I asked trying to sound teasing.

"Well, my idea of a date is not exactly have a latte and some snack. You will know when we'll go on our actual date."

He said and don't know why I felt relieved that his idea for date is still on.

Our order came and we ate it quietly.Just Franco giving me glances time to time and I tried to ignore but couldn't. Have we become so close just in a few hours?

We finished eating and Franco paid the bill.

We reached the car and Franco asked,

"Do you visit this place oftenly?"

"Yes,this is my favourite place which I only visit with my best friend, Cindy."

I replied.

"Why did you bring me here when you only visit with your best friend?"

He asked another question.

"To be honest, I don't know the answer myself.When you asked to suggest a place this was the first place to come in my mind and seriously I wanted you to visit here."

I admitted. There was no point of lying.

He was standing close to me and my heart beat was again risen like previously on bathroom door.The wind that blew around us, brought his fragrance to me and it aroused me in every possible way.

"How do you feel,when I am standing close to you."

He asked, decreasing the distance between us. My expressions were so obvious for him to notice my uneasiness around him.His breath fell on my face and that minty smell... I could not believe what I did next.

I rose on my toes to reach his face and the next moment our tongues were talking to each other,dissolved in the juices of passion,yes,it was a passionate and my first kiss.

Franco was future alpha and I have never imagined to feel this close with him not because of my own desire after all.He is different from the others and very subtle in nature. I can take a chance and want to explore him more, I want to know more about him and spend some more time with him. I am more than glad that our official date is still pending and I can be Franco again.

Our kiss lasted for few moments and I took a step back, panting. Franco was amused but delighted. He liked the kiss.

"That caught me as a surprise I did not expect to happen now."

Franco admitted.

"Well, you expected it to happen sometime?"

I asked teasingly.

"Obviously yes, if you are to marry me then the kiss could not fulfill the desire."

His words made me blush,imagining the things he wanted to out on my mind.

"Our wedding isn't confirmed yet."

I said.

"But you said you are ready to marry,during lunch, don't you remember?"

He asked,his eyes concerned.

"Yes I did. But the problem is the alpha of Chicago expects me to be in the list of eligible brides for his son, Eliott Jones. And they are also invited in the party tomorrow. So I don't know to whom I'll be married off to."

I told him.

"You can't be kidding me. Why didn't you tell me the other time I asked you about marriage."

His question was legit but I did not wanted to answer but I did,

"Because I did not trusted you."

"And now you do? Just in a few hours?"

His questions are making me sick.

"I really don't know Franco, I don't know what's happening in my life. Two days before I was planning on convincing my dad to flirt me admitted to a university and yesterday when I got to know about all this I feel like I am destructed,mentally. I could not understand what I want to do for myself,what I can do for myself."

The pressure rising in my heart finally got released but I chose wrong person for it. It wasn't Franco's fault, none of this was. Then I felt a tear rolled down my cheek.

Franco stared me for a moment and suddenly hugged me before I could say anything.

I was pressed against his muscular body and the rhythm of his heart made me forget my worries,his smell helped me to calm down and him caressing my back made me feel it's OK to feel things.
