He shook his head, led her around the vehicle, and opened her door. “You’re the local, and I actually didn’t get food poisoning last night. Where do you suggest?”
“Ha, ha.”
He grinned, shut her door, and hurried around the front of the vehicle. She loved watching him move. Depending on how late he took her home tonight, she was going to watch highlights of him on YouTube. He climbed in and the vehicle rocked slightly. It was amazing he could be so massive yet so fit and appealing.
“Where to?” he asked.
“Hmm. Do you like Indian food?”
He shrugged. “Honestly, Sariah, do you think I got to this size not liking every kind of food?”
She giggled at that. “Valid reasoning.” She pointed. “Great Indian restaurant just a few blocks that a way.”
He put the vehicle into gear.
“It looks really good on you.”
He glanced over at her. “What does?”
“Your size.”
“Thank you.” He smiled as he navigated to the restaurant.
They walked inside and the hostess seated them at a small corner table with a clean but scratched wooden top. Mack glanced around. “It looks a little less sketchy than last night. And it smells good.”
“Well, thank you for the approval. I aim to tantalize.”
Mack’s eyes widened and then a slow smile grew on his handsome face. “Yes, you do.”
“I meant … your taste buds.” Wow, she wasn’t making this any better.
His voice got low and husky. “I look forward to it.”
“Stop.” She pushed at his arm, her face filling with heat.
“I don’t think I’m the one who started this.”
The waitress interrupted, bringing them waters and asking if they wanted anything different than water to drink. They both declined. “Are you ready to order?”
Mack nodded to Sariah. “Will you order for us again?”
She smiled. “I don’t want you going away hungry. Should I order more than last night?”
“Please.”
She could definitely get used to this. She’d felt guilty last night when she’d gotten home late but Teresa had demanded all the details of her date and made her promise she’d go again tonight. Lily and Hyde were with Teresa tonight and would be through Sunday night. Hyde hadn’t said much about her going out with Mack, but he seemed very concerned for her. Lily had obviously told him too much about the Tyler fiasco. She focused back on the menu.
“Let’s do the alu gobi, tandori chicken, beef vindaloo, butter chicken, chana masala, chickpea curry, and we’d better have some spring rolls.” She glanced at Mack. “Is that enough food?”
“We’ll see.”
Sariah laughed and handed the menu back. “Thank you.”
“I’ll bring the spring rolls soon.” She took their menus and walked away.
Sariah took a drink of her water.
“You liketantalizingexotic foods the best?” Mack asked.
