Ivory was hard to breathe.
Once again, Aaron managed to make her body tingle with his touch. And his words. And this time, what the man touched was her lips...
"So?"
Ivory stopped her thoughts that were starting to wander off somewhere. She nodded slowly and smiled shyly at her partner. Maybe Aaron was right; she should learn to speak her mind.
"Yes, I want to," she said.
A second later, Aaron immediately booked a place for them to spend their first date. They were led by one of the beautiful waitresses who couldn't stop smiling broadly at Aaron. The girl walked in front of them with a forced sway. Ivory was almost fed up with how the waitress tried to get her partner's attention with too much effort.
'Oh, stop walking like a duck,' Ivory muttered.
The girl finally stopped showing her duck walk when they arrived at one of the empty tents. Ivory looked around it. At first, she thought the distance from one tent to another was very close, but she was wrong. The space was maybe ten meters. On the right and left, the front and back were already filled with each ... couple.
Ivory cursed silently.
She wondered, was this really a special tent for couples? Ivory panicked a little. She really didn't mean to be alone with Aaron. She chose this place because the tent on the hologram looked beautiful. She did not know that the tent in this dining area was intended for couples.
She was worried that Aaron would think that Ivory had chosen a place to be alone.
"This is all that's left, Mr. Magnifico," said the waiter. "The other tents are already full of other couples because, you know, winter is just around the corner."
Aaron Magnifico only nodded curtly. After that, the waiter began to arrange the raw meat and spices on a trolley she had been pushing. Many sauces, vegetables, and drinks are also lined up neatly there. Ready to eat by Aaron and Ivory.
Ivory noticed how deftly the waiter evenly spread the various spices and sauces all over the meat. The waiter flipped it several times with her right hand while her left hand quickly ignited the coals of the available grill. Although her flirtatiousness was a little annoying, Ivory had to admit that the waiter's hands were skillful and great.
The hissing sound of meat sticking to the hot iron really made Ivory have to swallow her saliva. She looked at the beef with longing eyes as if she had not seen each other for a long time. That's the fact. Ivory never eats meat.
No.
Not never. Only rarely.
Rarely chronic, at the stage of ever.
Ivory ever eats meat. Of course, it was all thanks to Roger's warm hands, who had time to cook a big pot of spicy beef soup which they ate together after work was done. Since then, Ivory never ate that sumptuous meal again.
"Leave it to me. I will take care of it."
The waitress gave a flirtatious wink at Aaron, to which the man smiled faintly. He took out a hundred Hara from his wallet and handed it to the waiter, who immediately squealed with joy. Not long after, the waiter immediately disappeared from view.
"Aaron," Ivory called after the girl sped away. "Isn't that too much for a tip?"
And the one who was asked just chuckled softly. He stroked Ivory's hair again. Just rubbing, not ruffling, but the effect is still the same as usual.
Ivory's heart beat faster.
"A hundred Hara means nothing to me, Ivy. Everyone tipped that big. Besides, I make a million Hara every hour. Don't worry."
Ivory just shook her head weakly. "I don't understand Primary life," she muttered confusedly.
The Copulation couple was busy grilling various pieces of meat to perfection. Ivory was in charge of seasoning the meat while Aaron tried to keep the meat from burning. The two move so harmoniously and harmoniously. Aaron would ask his partner for some sauce every now and then, and Ivory would swiftly give Aaron whatever he needed. The two chatted while laughing at the personal experiences shared with each other.
"You know, I almost got expelled from school for burning my classmate's Math textbook! Mom scolded me a lot. I was punished by Dad by confiscating all my toys and gadgets. They even cut my allowance for a whole month."
Ivory laughed at her partner's story. From their conversation, Ivory realized that Aaron was initially a boy who was quite stubborn and troubled his parents. She thought the man was an obedient Primary class of men, but it turned out to be the same. Aaron also had a lot of disgrace in his childhood.
"Not to mention the time Chicco tried to trick me into coming on the field in the afternoon. Luckily I noticed and managed to trap him back. I smeared glue on the bike seat. The next day, he even came to school with pants that had holes in several places."
"Why are you so naughty?" Ivory asked between laughs. She even had to hold her stomach, which felt cramped, to hold back a burst of laughter. "I didn't think you'd ever be that stubborn."
"That's what boys do," Aaron replied, giggling as he held up the cooked meat. He placed it on a wide plate that Ivory carried in both hands.
After the food was ready, Ivory and Aaron sat together on the edge of the tent. They enjoyed the food they had worked so hard to cook for the past half an hour.
"Enjoy your meal!"
One bite finally arrived between her teeth. Ivory started chewing silently and widened her eyes instantly. The smokey and juicy texture of the meat creates instant happiness for her. She felt like she was tasting heaven's cooking as she chewed the meat slowly.
"This is very, very, very delicious, Aar!" cried Ivory. She smiled widely as she looked at Aaron with a happy glow.
"You like 'em?" asked Aaron, to which his cute girl nodded enthusiastically.
"I love it. This is amazing. Thank you, Aaron."
"You're welcome," said Aaron. He stared intently at Ivory, who was eating voraciously. "What do you usually eat at home?"
Unfortunately, at that time, Ivory's mouth was full of food. She covered her mouth with her right hand and asked Aaron to wait a moment. Unfortunately for Ivory, the hot meat that filled her mouth made her wave her hands to reduce the heat.
"Be careful, Girl," Aaron commented as he poured a glass of water and handed it to Ivory.
Ivory drank it slowly. "Thank you. Sorry for being impolite."
"Stop apologizing," said Aaron, a little bit annoyed. "I want you to be as open as possible to me. Don't be so stiff, okay?"
Ivory nodded twice.
"At home, I usually eat vegetables and mackerel. At least once a month, eat octopus. In my home, the price of fish is still affordable," answered Ivory to Aaron's previous question.
"You don't eat meat?"
"It's too expensive."
"Even pork?"
Ivory smiled wryly. "The price of pork can be a full month of my salary. If I want to eat a piece of beef, at least wait until three months of work, then I can buy it. You don't know the difference in the price of meat between Primary and Secondary."
Aaron nodded slowly.
Just before Ivory shoved the piece of meat into her mouth, Aaron picked up a bunch of his own and placed it on his partner's plate.
"Aaron, don't-"
"Eat a lot. I love watching you chew." Aaron displayed his usual grin. "Remember, there's no rejection. No argument."
What can Ivory do but be thankful for meeting a man as good as Aaron?
