“What’s wrong with tacos?” She asks, sounding almost offended.
“Theo hates them.”
“Oh. Why?”
“It’s a childhood thing,” I say vaguely, and she frowns but lets it go.
“Do you like tacos?”
“Love them,” I tell her, and she relaxes.
“Good. Me too.”
We’re next, and I roll down my window to place our order. The sun ducks back behind the clouds, and I see Pia frown.
“I didn’t think that it was supposed to rain today,” she says, and I shake my head.
“Me either. Hopefully it passes.”
We pull up, and I place our order, adding another chocolate shake in case Lila wants one, too. I still haven’t met her roommate and best friend. Maybe that’s the next step. Meeting each other’s family.
I haven’t talked to my folks yet, but I know they’ll be over the moon excited to meet Pia. They’ve been hinting about wanting to see me settle down and have kids for a few years now, but I’ve never been interested in anyone before Pia.
I pay for our food a moment later, and then they pass me the box of our food and drinks. Pia pops a few fries into her mouth as we pull back out into traffic.
“Thanks for dinner. You really didn’t have to do that.”
“I wanted to. I like spending time with you,” I tell her, and she blushes.
“Any big plans for this week or weekend?” I ask.
I’m trying to figure out when we can go on our next date without being too obvious.
I’m not sure that I’m pulling it off.
“No, just work and some errands as of right now.”
“Maybe we can grab dinner together again then. Say, on Friday?”
“Maybe,” she says, and I can see her smiling shyly.
That’s a yes, then.
I smile, popping some fries into my mouth as I pull into a parking spot right outside of her place. I shift into park and turn to face her. A mist is starting to cover the windshield, and I sigh. It looks like the rain isn’t going to pass. I should tell her to go inside now before it really starts to rain, but I don’t want to let her go just yet.
“I should head in,” she says, like she can read my thoughts.
“Yeah, here, let me get this covered for you,” I say, taking out my burger and fries and leaving the box for her.
“Thanks,” she says, her fingers brushing mine.
She looks up at me, and my heart starts to race as our gazes remain locked. Anticipation starts to fill me as she sways toward me slightly.
Her purple eyes are dark in the cloudy light, and I reach for her, tucking some of her dark hair out of the way so that I can see her clearly.
“So beautiful,” I murmur, and she licks her lips.
I almost moan at the sight of her tongue smoothing over her lips, and know I can’t hold myself back any longer. I pull her closer to me, over the center console, and her eyelids close as my lips connect with hers.
