*Eleanor's Point View*
I took a bite. "mhm! It's really good! Have you ever had food like this?"
I noticed Ashan looked down at his sandwich peculiarly.
"It's not that I haven't eaten this before…" He made eye contact, "Sandwiches aren't really unique to Jamillia we just use thinner bread and no meat. I enjoy this a little bit more than Jamillia's sandwiches because of the meat. The chefs are really good."
"I'm glad you like it!" I replied.
This thought invaded me: I kinda want to feed him some of the side dishes. It would be cute, but I'm a bit nervous. I feel like I'm about to blush just thinking about it.
"Are you okay, Eleanor?" Ashan leaned in and grabbed my hand.
I looked away to cover my face. "Um-I-I'm okay!!"
*Gosh, I fell for him too quickly. I just blushed at the thought of feeding him.
"My love, it looks like something is on your mind. If you are comfortable, will you please just tell me?"
Ashan looks really concerned. I don't think he will mind my thought too much.
I took a deep breath to calm down. "I had a weird thought that popped up. I got the sudden urge to want to feed you some food. It's a bit embarrassing." I broke the eye contact and looked to the side.
I heard Ashan starting to laugh. "That's what made you so nervous, hahah." He grabbed my hand and placed it on his heart. I felt his heart beating at a fast pace. "Hearing you say that made my heart race. Why don't we feed eat each other?" He gave me a light-hearted smile. He grabbed his fork and picked up the salad with it. "Open your mouth and say ahhh."
I opened my mouth, "Ah."
"Good girl, now eat up." Ashan watched me chew the food and swallow. He pointed at his mouth and said, "Love, please feed me now. I think I'll starve if you don't." Ashan placed his hand on his stomach dramatically.
"You are a very dramatic man…I love it!" I let out a laugh. I began to pick up the salad from my bowl. I held out the fork for him. He began to lean in for a bit. "Wait, you have to say ah."
"Ah." I fed him the salad. "Can I sit next to you? I'd like to be closer."
"Yes, you can." I patted the spot next to me.
Once he was seated, he began to speak. "I want to feed you more."
I noticed he grabbed food from the platter with cheese and fruits. Cheese and fruit together, interesting.
"Do you like cheese and fruit are eaten at the same time? I personally like it."
"I haven't had them together. I usually mix vegetables and cheese, but I'll try it."
"Close your eyes so you can really taste the flavors. I do this when I try new things."
"Okay." I closed my eyes. Ashan first placed a raspberry in my mouth then cheese.
"Describe the flavors."
"The raspberry is a bit sweet. The cheese has a nutty flavor. Together, it matches well." I opened my eyes, "Can I do one with you?"
"Yeah, surprise me."
