While in the car, Bentlee was more composed.
"Are you comfortable?" Zeke asked sliding his hands over the steering wheel, his veins tightening and getting lost in his flesh.
"Not really", she said without thinking.
"Oh yeah?" He said pressing a button that moved her chair closer to his.
His car was customized and tweaked in different parts just for him. To make his life more convenient per say.
She gasped loudly out of shock, the sound ringing in Zeke's ears.
"Is that better?" He grinned.
She stared with a flushed expression and replied, "umm yeah".
Looking away, Bentlee tried to school her reactions and expressions.
She tried to calm her nerves down more and decided that music would be the best thing for that.
She turned on her Bluetooth and her earpods and played a song from her phone. It would be calming, she thought.
Unknown to her, her phone's Bluetooth connected to the car's Bluetooth instead of her earpods.
In for it remix by xoddiac blasted through the speakers.
The horror on Bentlee's face when she realised what had happened, showed Zeke that she didn't mean for it to happen.
"Ahhhhhhhh" she screamed tapping on her phone in an attempt to stop the music from playing.
After a million tries, it finally stopped.
There was silence because Bentlee wasn't ready to speak or be spoken to yet......
After some seconds, he said with a smile, "I like that song".
She lifted her head in embarrassment, "really?"
"Yeahhh, play it" he requested.
Her fingers obliged and played the song.
~you always do this, I know what I want, I know what I want, no more excuses~
The lyrics sounded in his ears and he turned to her. He pulled the car over, the moment dark and mysterious.
"I like it" he said.
"You like what?" She asked.
"The song. It's accurate.....in a way" he replied, his voice low and sexy.
She pressed her thighs together after hearing him speak. Then let out a breath she didn't know she was holding in.
"......." There was silence. After some minutes, she felt pseudo composure come over her.
She cleared her throat and said, "we're still a long way from the mall You know".
Hearing her say that in this atmosphere made him want to go outside and shout at a random person. He smiled at the thought of behaving like a madman because of her attitude.
"True, let's keep going....oh and play more songs, I want to know what you like" he said without thinking.
She turned her head slowly towards him and then towards her phone.
Close with desires by teo glacier played next. The chords and beat collection intensifying the atmosphere. The heat was satisfyingly pleasureable.
They drove in silence until they arrived at the mall.
It was bright and busy from the outside in.
Zeke parked in the parked lot and removed his seatbelt. Before he could turn to help Bentlee with hers, the girl was gone from the car, already walking towards the Mall's entrance.
He smirked at her cat-like display and ran after her, locking the car doors with the press of a button.
Bentlee breathed in and out severally In an attempt to calm her raging nerves.
"I'm fine!" She yelled inwardly.
She felt his presence beside her a few seconds later.
"Ooh he walks fast" she thought.
........
The entrance of the mall was decorated with shiny objects and bright lights. The welcoming smiles were heartwarming and genuine.
"Welcome, have a great time!" A worker said with a bright smile.
Zeke nodded in response, his hand unconsciously moving towards Bentlee's lower back in an attempt to guide where she walked to.
The contact sent electric current all over her body.
It was unexpected and gentle, and ohhh she liked it a lot.
They walked past different shops in the mall, but one in particular stood out to them, undoubtedly.
"Please, come check out our store" a very soft and small voice spoke beside them.
They turned, a bit alarmed.
.......
Bentlee's POV
I turned to see a petite and cute young lady. She wore a light pink short dress that accentuated her body enough to show her curves but not disrupt the soft aura she exuded.
"Hello! I'm Catherine. Please come in" the soft-looking girl spoke.
"Oh my goodness.... she's so adorable", I thought.
"Yeah sure," I answered without looking at Zeke.
I began walking and he trailed after. At this point, I was the one guiding where he walked.
The store was very sophisticated. The internal decor was extravagant and complex yet simple and elegant.
Catherine walked off somewhere while I admired the decor.
She returned after a few minutes holding two pamphlets, handing one to each of us.
Taking one, I read what was written on it. It was a list of what the store sold and what services they offered.
As I began reading, Catherine began talking.
She explained to the smallest detail about all the items and how they are sold.
I was unaware of my beaming expression as she spoke.
.......
Catherine explained to the two potential customers before her, one engrossed in the pamphlet and the other engrossed in the one engrossed in the pamphlet.
As the lady read the pamphlet, the man beside her stared so attentively, shocking Catherine.
Occasionally while talking, Catherine looked at the man to check if he was done staring at the lady so he could start staring at her instead.
"Eishhh" she exclaimed inwardly when he didn't pay her any mind.
She decided to get physical because she'd been told that her touch felt "magical".
She didn't know how to initiate it, but she knew she wanted this man's attention.
He was like this untouchable matter of perfection.
She wanted to get his attention so bad, to validate her skills, but he wasn't budging.
"Are they dating? And he's trying not to disrespect that?" She thought.
"Or am I not cute enough?" She decided while pondering.
She was aware of aegyo and was a professional at the display.
Her skills were unmatched anywhere around, and She could steal your man with just a smile.
"Ummm..... That's what we sellll-ww" she said and Bentlee almost choked on her own saliva.
"What was that?" Bentlee thought.
The attendant girl began making child-like movements with her arms in an attempt to be cuter, but Bentlee was horrified and Zeke was focused on Bentlee.
"Oh my gosh is she..... Is she trying to do aegyo right now.... Ahhhhhhhh" Bentlee screamed inwardly, the second hand embarrassment hitting like a splash of water.
