Our plates arrive, a rib-eye steak for me and a grilled branzino for Jolie. The sides are family style, stir-fried string beans, glazed yams, and French fries. I'm already cutting into my steak before the server has finished putting all the dishes down.
Jolie leans in as the server walks away. "What the heck is aged Wagyu beef anyway?"
I have to take a moment before I answer her, too busy humming at how unbelievable this steak tastes. "I have no idea, but it tastes like pure heaven. You want a piece?"
"You really do like me, huh? Because if you're offering me a piece of a steak that makes you look like that, then I have to believe it."
"That's what it took to convince you?" I grin as I cut her a piece.
I go to put it on her plate, but she leans forward instead, opening her mouth. Swallowing thickly at the lust coursing through my body just from seeing that, I bring the fork to her mouth. Her tongue peeks out before her lips wrap around the fork and she backs up, fork now clean of the steak that was on it. I damn near groan at the visions flashing through my mind.
She just smirks and begins chewing. "That is pretty freaking good."
We each dig into the sides and put some on our plates before we begin eating more.
"What are your plans for the weekend?" I ask.
"Work tomorrow. Then, I am a firm believer that Sundays are for lounging in bed and catching up on all the shows on your DVR, so that’s what I’ll be doing."
"Good to know what I can find you doing on a Sunday." I chuckle. "No group tomorrow?"
"I figure I've done enough fake therapy for the week.. But I mean, if you wanna go..."
I give her an exasperated face. "I would rather get a root canal."
"You might need one after this."
She juts her chin to the side as the server arrives with a dessert cart. I laugh at what she picks off the cart.
"So you're going to start with ice cream and end with ice cream?" I ask.
"This is chocolate. It's different. Plus it's on top of a brownie."
I nod sarcastically. "I can really see where they differ. I'll have the cheesecake."
The server hands it over and tells us he'll return in a few minutes with the check.
"This night has been really beautiful," Jolie says.
"I'm glad. I was nervous if you'd like where I picked."
"You did great. Feel free to wine and dine me anytime. Well, I can't really be wined, but you know what I mean."
"Noted. I gotta start making a list of ways to get to your heart. So far, wining and dining, giving you a piece of delicious steak, giving you hoodies, and making you halfway decent breakfasts."
"You forgot just being who you are."
She smiles at me, not even knowing what she said just made my heart squeeze in my chest. Could she be any more perfect?
"The check, sir." The server states.
"Just let me get my card. You can take it right now."
"I feel kinda bad now. I know all this was really expensive."
"Don't. For one, you're one hundred percent worth it. Secondly, I don't actually spend much of my paycheck. My grandma won't let me help with much of the expenses around her house, so I just save it unless I'm buying something I need, and gas and stuff for my car."
She nods. "I save most of mine too."
