263 His private time (1/2)

Hence, he could only play a selection of songs, the songs he chose just for her. The car was then filled with romantic and soothing songs.

They were just entering the main road when Jeremy suddenly took a turn to the right. He did not say anything about their destination or why they detoured from the way to the countryside where her parents lived.

\”Where are we going?\” she asked finally, could not hold her patience anymore.

\”Can't you see what right in front?\” he nudged toward the front, at the tall signboard.

Ryn narrowed her eyes and shook her head in disbelief. How could she be so stupid asking a stupid question when the answer was so clearly right in front of her eyes?

He chuckled when he saw her reaction. He guessed she realized why he made a turn.

\”Coffee for you too or you want chocolate?\” he asked as they got closer to the drive-through of Starbucks.

\”Iced cappuccino? The biggest one,\” she replied but her eyes were busy staring at the menu for the food. She did not even realize how starving she was. She rubbed her growling stomach sadly.

He chuckled to see her like that. Without she even told him what she wanted, he started to order food, a lot of food for the both of them. Of course, it was only for their lunch. They would stop again for tea and dinner if they hadn't arrived at her parents' place.

Her eyes lit up when she heard his order. Of course, she did not have to say anything because he knew everything about her. He knew what she liked and what she disliked. She rubbed her hands in anticipation.

He handed the paper bags full of food to Ryn after he put their drinks at the drink slots. He smiled watching her impatiently opening one of the bags and took out a packet of cheesy sausages.

She stabbed one with a wooden skewer and opened her mouth to eat it. But before the food went through her mouth, she stopped and looked at him silently.

\”What's wrong? Why didn't you eat?\” he asked when he noticed her look.

\”Here, take the first bite,\” she said and tried to feed him.

He smiled and opened his mouth for her. His heart was blooming happily seeing her care of him. See, he knew she was still worried about his health and wellbeing. Just a little bit more before she would accept him back.

She took the second bite, forgetting the fact that they were sharing the same food and they were 'sharing a kiss'. But he did not. He could not stop smiling all the way, happy to see she did not mind at all.

Just a little bit more. All he could do right now was being patience.

Hence, he was so happy during the journey he even prayed they would never reach the destination. Of course, as the time passing by, their journey almost come to an end. But before that, they made another stop for another meal. This time they did not eat in the car but the premise instead.

He led the way and chose a table quite inside the restaurant, away from everyone. He put on a cap to disguise himself, which Ryn felt weird. With his height and his handsome face, nothing could block others from recognizing him.

It was useless.

Luckily for them, there was not many people enjoying the food there. So only the waiter who served them and a few more recognized him.

They were so excited but managed to control it. The woman who took their order tried not to stumble. Her eyes glowed so bright and the smile on her face, if she could she would smile from ear to ear. But she couldn't because of the botox she had during the short holiday with her best friends. So only her eyes showed her feeling. Nothing else moved.

Ryn tried hard to hide the shiver when she saw the waiter's face. The waiter looked just like a doll, a creepy doll.

Jeremy, being a guy, did not notice it at all. His focus was on the food. Driving such a long way really made him hungry. He only chose two for himself and waited for Ryn to finish ordering what she wanted. Of course, the amount she requested was double than Jeremy with nary of bunny food.

The waiter tried to pull Jeremy into a conversation with her but Jeremy smiled and apologized with the waiter gently. He explained that it was his private time and wished for them to respect it.

And he promised to take a photo with them, which make them feel better and leave the ex-couple alone. Instead of laughing at the misery Jeremy, Ryn just looked at her phone, frowning.
