Dante's Love (18+)

Chapter 24

"No! You're joking." My mouth fell open in shock as we pulled up closer and closer to the big red and yellow sign.

A goofy smile accompanied by a giggle fell pass my lips. Dante beamed at my reaction.

He parked the car near the entrance as I was bouncing on the edge of my seat. However, I sat patiently for him to open my door. I knew this was one of his unspoken rules.

I allowed him to lock his car before grabbing his arms and dragging him towards the smell of burgers and fries.

My hands fell to his and he intwines them quickly. I was so excited, I did not even notice how natural and normal it felt touching him.

"Hi! Welcome to McDonald's. What can I get yall?" The cashier's eyes brightened at Dante.

However, he paid her no mind as he turned his head to me, expectedly. I scrutinised the menu before saying excitedly. "Mcspicy Meal. Upsize."

"Two please."

"I'll grab us a table." I started to head off before being jerked back to his side.

"No stay." I followed his eyes to a group of rowdy teen boys calling out suggestively.

I stayed tucked by his side as we waited for our hot steaming food. We sat down in a small booth by the corner.

I moaned as I started to dig into my meal. "This is exactly what I was craving. How did you know?"

"I had a feeling." A small smile etched onto his chiseled face.

Dante is a big man. To see him squeezed in the small booth was almost comical. Especially when he tries to reach out for food and knocks at least 1 thing over each time.

I laughed at him as he helplessly knocked over the drink again.

"Come I'll feed you."

I grabbed a fry and teased it in front of his mouth. Just as I was about to pull back to grab another, he stopped my arms. He pulled me forward, opening his mouth to gently suck on my thumbs. His warm tongue lathered my fingers, kissing them gently. I pressed my thighs tightly together, trying to stop myself from dripping all over the seats.

Once he was done, he sat back and continued to eat his burger as if nothing had happened.

My mouth fell open in shock.

"What?" A hint of amusement could be detected in his voice.

I just shook my head slightly. Two can play that game.

His eyes followed me as I sashayed to the ketchup and chilli stand, near the group of rowdy teens from before.

I could feel the intense glare staring down my back as I got further away from him.

My nerves got the better of me as I was about to turn back to Dante when a voice called out to me.

"Hey you! Big Apple girl."

I turned around to see the same teen who offered to lend me his jacket in the earlier parts of my trip.

"Oh hi." I smiled back, recognising him.

"I can't believe I bumped into you again! Im sorry about the noise." He nervously laughed it off as his friends made suggestive smiles towards him.

"Its okay. How's your me- ."

"Enough." A stern voice interrupted me.

I jolted in surprise and immediately whizzed around. But Dante was nowhere near me. He was still at our small corner booth, shooting daggers in his eyes.
