Chapter 114 - 114: Date III (1/2)

(Third POV)

Michelle held her breath so she won't start screaming like a person who just won the jackpot on a lottery. When the waitress entered the room and shrieked in surprise because of the almost r-18 sight she and Anthony presented, Anthony did not panic at all. Instead, his right hand remained on her back while his left on top of her legs, making her unable to leave his lap and letting the waitress continue seeing this picture as if it's the most natural thing in the world.

She wondered if he was announcing that she was his and he was hers? Though her position looked embarrassing as she looked like a clingy girlfriend (which she believed she was, except that they were not officially together), she liked it very much and it made her quite happy.

Anthony seeing the waitress finally leave the room after serving the drinks shifted his eyes back to Michelle who was still sitting on his lap. She was blushing to the tips of her ears and biting her lower lip. She looked so tempting that way that he considered just placing her on the table and… Fuck. What's up with his brain?

Anyhow, before his imagination gets the better of him like what just happened a moment back, he gently shifted her back to her seat. Then, he moved the glass of coconut shake which was placed on the upper side of her plate directly in front of her so she would only need to open her mouth and take a sip from the straw to taste. ”You should try this. It's good.” He recommended.

Michelle did as she was told. She took a sip, while Anthony continued to stare at her with his expectant eyes. Well… it tasted like… coconut shake.

She turned towards him and smiled, ”It's really good. This got to be the best coconut shake I ever had…” it was kinda true. It's the coconut shake Anthony bought for her, of course, it's the best one in the world. ”You should try it too…” she offered her glass to him even though he ordered the same thing and was only placed on the other side.

Anthony did not think much and only leaned forward to drink from the straw Michelle used. Then he smiled. ”Yes, you're right. This one is the best.”

Well, seeing him do that, we can all guess what stupid things were running in Michelle's head.

(Michelle POV)

After finishing our meal, I had to go to the restroom to brush my teeth. What? We will seat beside each other later, definitely, ehem ehem… maybe we will have another round of make-out session while watching the movie. I can't possibly let him chance my breath smelling like garlic!

Anyhow, when I came back, Anthony just stood from his seat, smiled at me, and said, ”Let's go.”

Oh. Did he settle the bill already when I went to the restroom? Should I just let him treat me like that? In truth, I have no problem with it at all, but what if he thinks that I'm a cheapskate? Then again, he wanted to do it for me!

As I was pondering over this matter, I did not notice Anthony was already in front of me and… he leaned forward… was he going to kiss me again!? Much to my disappointment, he only turned the doorknob behind me.

”We should go, it's already 1:50.” He reminded enclosing me between his body and the door.

Was he doing this on purpose!? I looked up and met his eyes which were in crescents. Oh! He definitely was! ”O-Ok.” I stuttered with my infinite happiness.

Anthony chuckled, he stepped to the side then he opened the door.

Seeing him wait for me exit first as he stood at the side, my heart leaped. Emboldened with some confidence because of his playfulness, I grasped his right hand with my left so that we're now holding hands.

Ha! Take that! We're now holding hands on the way to the cinema! I could not look him in the eye at first, but the walk to the cinema was long, so on the way, I would peek at him from time to time.
