Chapter 430

He looked at the menu, then glanced back at me without picking it up.

“Are you really telling me that with all these options, you’re just going to get a cobb salad and some wine?” he asked.

He raised his brows and asked me a question.

My cheeks turned red, but I wasn’t going to back down.

“Yes,” I replied, even though I didn’t sound very convincing to myself.

He set his menu down and turned to look at me.

I felt his gaze burning into the side of my face as I tried to keep my eyes from meeting his.

“Judy, look at me,” he said, his voice calm and almost seductive. My cheeks flushed even more. Why was he making me feel this way?

I suddenly felt so nervous around him. I awkwardly glanced up and found his eyes looking back at me.

He reached out and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. His touch was surprisingly gentle, leaving me almost breathless. His fingers felt warm against my skin, and I couldn’t help but feel a flutter in my stomach.

The warmth of his breath lingered on my cheek for a moment, and I had to resist the temptation to lean closer to him.

“When you come here with your friends, what do you usually order?” he asked, his voice soft and his eyes focused on mine.

I let out a breath, surprised by his question.

“How did you know I came here with my friends?” I asked in a breathless whisper.

He smirked, his eyes crinkling at the corners.

“Because…”

“I’ve done my research before deciding where to take you,” he said. “Now, answer my question.”

I nervously bit my lower lip, chewing on it again as I felt the pressure in the room.

“Bite your lip again, and I’ll bend you over this table,” he warned.

“Let’s give everyone here a real show,” he said darkly, his voice deep and rough. It sent a jolt of surprise through me.

I stared at him, my face flushing with embarrassment. I bit my lip, releasing it with a quick pop as I tried to regain my composure.

I took a lick of my ice cream as I looked at the menu.

“Tell me what you usually order,” he said again, his voice even softer this time.

“I usually get a pulled pork sandwich with extra pickles and fries topped with garlic butter and parmesan cheese,” I replied.

“I’d like an alcoholic root beer float,” I said, my voice soft and hurried as I looked away from him. I didn’t want to see how he would react.

He set his menu down without saying a word, just as the waiter walked up to take our order.

“Good evening, Alpha Landry and your date,” Marcus said politely. “I am your waiter for the evening. It’s an honor to serve you. Please let me know if you need anything.”

Marcus greeted them with a warm smile, ready to make their dinner special.

“Anything at all, don’t hesitate to tell me.”

Gavin nodded in response, his face showing no emotion. It was hard to tell what he was thinking or feeling.

Marcus took out his tablet, ready to place our order into the system.

“Can I start you off with something to drink? We have an excellent wine selection,” the waiter said.

“Actually, I think we are ready to order,” Gavin replied.

The waiter’s eyes widened in surprise, but he quickly regained his composure.

“Of course, Alpha,” he said as he prepared his tablet. “I should have known you’d know exactly what you wanted for wine. I’m going to guess it’s the most expensive brand.”

Gavin nodded and said, “Bring us that yes, but we’re also getting something else.”

Marcus’s eyes lit up with excitement. He could already imagine the big tip that Gavin would leave him at the end of the night.

“This meal is amazing,” he said confidently.

“What else can I get you?” the waiter asked.

Marcus surprised me when he replied, “We’d like to order two alcoholic root beer floats.” I looked at him, taken aback. Marcus had decided to add something unexpected to our order.

“Great choice, Sir! That’s definitely a fan favorite,” Marcus said with a smile as he tapped on the tablet.

“We’re also ready to place our order,” Gavin informed him. Marcus nodded at Gavin, signaling him to go ahead.

“Can we get two pulled park sandwiches, both with extra pickles, and two orders of garlic parmesan fries?”

I was shocked.

Marcus nodded and quickly typed the order into the tablet.

“Another great choice,” he said with a smile.

“Trust me, you won’t be disappointed,” Marcus said with a smile as he looked up. “I’ll get that to you right away.”

“Oh, and Marcus,” Gavin called out before he could walk away. “Can you hurry up with that order?”

“Are you up for some mozzarella balls and pretzel bites?” Gavin asked, looking at me with dark eyes and a playful smirk on his lips. “I’m feeling extra hungry tonight.”
