No. 9 Dinner's
That's where we are now.
A restaurant that I'm not that familiar with but the aesthetic is pleasing. Caylus parked the car and hurriedly rushed out to open the door for me. He extended his hand and I accepted it to help me get out; but why am I so clumsy that I would trip over nothing?
My ankle slightly twisted once I step out the car and almost went straight falling right to the floor that would literally give me me smiling wounds on my face. I was expecting to my face to hit the hard rough cement with my eyes shut but it was the opposite. It was soft and hard cement, it's where I opened my eyes and found myself wrapped in Caylus' arms like a baby being protected. I can hear his heart racing but I didn't mind that, all what's in my mind right now is how close we are. That I can smell his mint breath and air coming out from his nose.
"Be careful gorgeous," Caylus slowly pulled away and slide down his hands to mine to interwind them together.
I tried to let go of his hands but every time I try, he would tighten his hold in me. "Let go and I won't hesitate to kiss you."
"What? Excuse me?" Confused of what he was saying. Joking maybe.
"If you let go then one kiss shall be the payment," Caylus said as if it was nothing but there is this something painted on his lips that I'm not sure what it is.
"You must be kidding," I rolled my eyes inwardly and still attempted to let go of his hands. I don't do threats if that's what he's thinking.
I forcefully withdraw my hand from his grip and successfully got free but Caylus is not a man of bluff. It was as if time slowed down and it was just the two of us.
Caylus lips were getting closer and closer to mine. I can feel his hot breath as it's drawing closer and my heart is starting to beat crazy. I don't know if I'm just crazy but my lips acted on it's own that it slowly parted welcoming Caylus' soft lips. Caylus pulled me closer to him while claiming my virgin lips. It wasn't rough but gentle, you can tell how careful and delicate he is in every move he made. My knees decided to betray me and it felt weak, I quickly wrapped my arms around his neck for support. His lips were soft as cotton and it was like a drug, addicting. My consciousness failed me that I am giving back the same ferocity as him. His tongue made it's entrance and I gladly accepted it. His kisses were getting hungrier and hungrier but that stopped when we heard a beep from the car.
"Get yourself a room! This is a parking lot not a baby making room!" The old man shouted from his driver's seat window.
I quickly pulled away and hid behind Caylus out of embarrassment from the old man. He saw us did the thing!
What am I thinking that I actually did that?! I secretly slap my face to wake me up , if this was a dream but there was a sting left on my right cheek.
Ghad this is so embarrassing!
"My apologies sir," I heard Caylus respond to the old man with a gentle manner but I still hesitate to face him. I can't handle the heat burning on my face with all these butterflies in my stomach. A soft air brushed my ears and gave me a tingling sensation that I jumped out, "I told you. You let go, then one kiss," Caylus said with a wink.
"I didn't know you were serious!" I bravely face Caylus with my heated face.
"I'm always serious when it comes to you," He said in a low tone that I can hardly hear a word.
"What? I can't hear you?"
"I said now you know that I was serious."
"Why you jer-- Hey! my hand!" Caylus grabbed my hand and interwind them again.
Caylus paused for a moment and faced me with his infamous teasing smirk, "Let go and one kiss."
"You!" I shouted trying to free my hand until it was loose but the moment my hand was supposed to be free Caylus' desirable lips landed onto mine.
It was a short quick kiss but enough to shut me.
"There much better, silence," he gently pat my head and interwind our hands togerther and head to the entrance of the restaurant.
Neon lights and retro were the main designs, No.9 Dinner's was like a Riverdale series inspired aesthetic. The savory and mouthwatering chips invaded my noses trills, the sizzling sound of their patty that sounded like it was just flip around, the sound of the blender blending all those ingredients to make a strawberry milkshake, and of course retro music were also played. The staff dressed in vintage clothing greeted us and guided us to our table.
We are seated in this red Cadillac vintage car design cut in half to put a table in between and not far from the table we are seated there is a television with basketball playoff broadcasted. The players are wearing blue and green, not sure if this is a national event but the stadium is filled with crowd dressed in blue and green who are cheering their favourite team for motivation. The game is literally no joke, the players sweat so much just to score and catch up to the leading team.
24 seconds remaining in the clock with a tie of 110-110 points of each team.
The green player was about to shoot for three point but the blue was able to get the ball before he could even shoot it: the blue player rushed all the way to the opponent's ring to dunk the ball but the green team is quick to defend it's ring ,the ball bounce of the player's hand.
With 10 seconds left and I couldn't help it but bite my fingernails anxious on which team will win the game. I'm not sure which team am I even rooting for, they're all pretty good players who are passionate about basketball and who worked really hard to get there and their efforts to defend and score is the visible evidence of it.
But the ball was once again in the blue team, he dribbled the ball once and threw the ball for a three points shot. It felt like time slowed down as the ball went flying to the air but it didn't land on the hoop yet, it was spinning around it and slowly and unclearly in which direction it would fall but the blue team didn't waste a second. The blue player jumped as high as he could to finish the ball off and the ball went inside the ring exactly as the time ended.
Unconsciously I stood up with my hands balled into fist punching the sky and a loud voice came out of my mouth unexpectedly, "YES!!!"
I felt pairs of eyes looking at me and the ambiance felt silent until I heard Caylus laughed and that gave me the idea that everyone was staring at me with my fist held high facing the television screen. I quickly sat down and covered my tomato like face, I can't believe I would say that out loud.
"So you're a basketball fan huh?"
I parted my fingers a little so see Caylus' handsome face, "N-no, the game just looked pretty intense and I didn't realized that I was already engrossed with the game," I admitted shyly reflecting from the embarrassment I did just a few seconds ago.
"Will you cheer for me if I play in the court?" Caylus asked out of nowhere.
I look at him through the small parted hole my fingers to cover my face; to see if he was joking but there was no hint of Caylus fooling around with such question. What does he mean I will cheer for him. Does this handsome looking guy even play sports?
"You play sports?" I asked back.
"Well, I mean I can play if I wanted too," he shrugged.
I slowly removed my hands that covered my face and gave him a smile.
"Of course I will!"
I'm not that bad who doesn't know how to support a friend. So of course I'll cheer him till I loose my voice.
Yes until that day happens,
I'll stay by his side and cheer for his happiness.....
Even if my happiness was at stake....
"Alright that's good to hear." Caylus bit his lower lip trying to hide his smile, it was sexy alright, but his ears were turning bright red.
"Here are your orders ma'am, sir," the waiter interfered with a kind manner.
The waiter got our order that I don't remember ordering my food, so I turned to Caylus with a confused look. He seems to know the meaning behind my confused look that he replied without even looking at me while he is busy setting the ordered meal, "You were so engrossed with the game that no matter how many I times I called your name you didn't budge to answer. So I ended up ordering for you, not sure what you like but I can guarantee you that it's delicious." He gave me a smile and lightly pinched my cheeks.
"Eat up gorgeous," Caylus then chowed down on his burger.
I looked down at my plate and there was a huge mouthwatering burger, not sure what you call it here but by the smell of it it screams delicious. There was also a side dish of savoury fries and coleslaw salad; for the drinks Caylus got chocolate milk shake with a whipped cream and cherry on top while mine is a strawberry with whipped cream top with rainbow sprinkles and cherry.
Strawberry?
Gross
I don't like strawberry flavoured food or drinks, they taste like medicine, yuck.
I looked at Caylus hoping he would turn his attention to me and he did. I gave him a puppy eyes and slightly pouted frown.
"What?" He asked confused.
I didn't reply and eyed on his milkshake and back looked at him hoping he understands what I mean.
He let out a sigh and switched our drinks " Here you go."
"Thank you!" I said with my smile stretched to my ears.
"Anything for you gorgeous."
I started digging into my burger and in my first bite, I think I'm in heaven. The meat melted in my mouth and the sauce and veggies were really perfect match with the burger; and the buns were soft and hot. I took another bite and I couldn't help but let a moan escape my mouth; it was so good! My stomach approved their burger's here, might as well bring my friends over here, I'm sure they would enjoy it here.
"You seem to love your burger huh, gorgeous."
"It's so good! Can we come here again?!" I asked Caylus full of glee and his eyes shows surprised and his mouth slightly parted, he wasn't expecting what I said neither do I but I already said it anyway it would be more embarrassing if I take it back.
Caylus' face soften and smiled at me, "of course, anytime gorgeous."
