Jason

Time flew by without me noticing it. I was having such a good time with Zarah. I've always found her funny, and I'm glad that hasn't changed. Her sense of humour is still there.

Before I knew it, dessert was being served in front of us.

Zarah ordered their chocolate lava cake, while I ordered their brûlée.

"How are your brothers by the way?" She asked as she took a spoonful of her dessert.

"They're doing goo..."

"Mmmm," she moaned. "This is so good. Oh my goodness."

Damn it. It was an innocent moan. It was due to the delectable dessert she was eating, but I felt my dick come alive at the sound.

Fuck.

"Sorry," she said sheepishly. "I interrupted you, but my goodness this is so darn good. You have to try it," she said as she took another spoonful of her dessert and lifted it to my mouth.

I smiled at the obvious pleasure on her face.

I took what she offered, and opened my mouth to get a taste of her delicious dessert.

"Wow. That is good."

She grinned. Then looked down at my dessert and frowned.

"You're not eating yours. You don't like it? Do you like mine better? We can switch," she offered.

I shook my head and smiled. "No, angel. I was enjoying watching you, I completely forgot about mine," I said honestly. She blushed

"You should really eat yours," she said.

I smile. "Alright. Let me see," I said and spooned a mouthful of my dessert. Zarah watched me took a bite and I let my dessert melt in mouth as I stare into her eyes.

"It's delicious," I said and spooned another spoonful for her. "Here, try it, angel.

She took what I offered and moaned. "Mmmm. Wow. That's really good too."

We spent the next few minutes enjoying our dessert.

She finished her plate before me, and I decided to lift my spoon up to her mouth and share the rest of my dessert with her.

She sighed and opened her mouth to accept a spoonful. I smiled at her.

I took another spoonful and held it up for her.

Her eyes grew wide. "No," she said while shaking her head fiercely. "No more for me," she said.

I smiled and said "aahh"

She pouted and frowned. "Jason, don't tempt me. I really can't."

"Why not?"

"Because..." She said and looked at me with the 'you know why' look.

I laughed. "Angel, you have nothing to worry about. You look gorgeous. In fact you could use a few more pounds in your body."

Her eyes grew wider and she flushed.

"Come on, angel, you know you want it," I said in a teasing voice while I wiggle my eyebrows at her.

"No, I don't," she huffed.

Fuck. She looks so damn adorable.

"Yes you do," I said, my mouth curving into a mischievous smile.

"No," she pouted.

"Yes, you do. Come on, angel. Open that pretty little mouth for me," I encouraged.

Fuck. I can't believe I said that. Now wicked thoughts exploded in my mind. Shit.

She glared at me then opened her mouth.

"That's my girl," I said.

And she stopped midway...

Shit, I'm screwing this up.

She smiled and took my spoon from my hand and took a spoonful and lifted it to my mouth. "Your turn. It's the last bite. Now say Ahh."

I chuckled. "Ahh," I said and took what she offered.

"That's my boy," she said, using my words from earlier.

I nearly choked at her cheekiness.

She smiled triumphantly.

"That was the best meal I've ever had in a long time," she said as we walked back to the car.

I smiled her way.

I held the door open for her.

She shook her head. "Let's go for a walk," she said.

"Sure, angel." I found that I couldn't say no to her.

I offered her my hand, and she took it gladly.

She then moved her hand and held on to my arm, hugging it close to her.

I looked down at her and tenderly. I wrapped the arm she was holding around her shoulders and hugged her to me. I kissed the top of her head and she sighed in contentment. She looped her arm around my waist as we walked the streets of downtown LA.

We walked for a while in silence. We both just enjoyed the walk and company of each other. I revelled in the feel of her around me.

A moment later I feel her shiver. I frowned. "You're getting cold. We should head back, angel," I said.

She looked up at me and smiled.

"Hold on," I said and removed my jacket. "Here," I said and draped it around her.

"Thanks," she said.

"You're welcome." I put my arms back around her and hugged her right to my side, as we walk back to the car.

We drove back to her place in silence, but I held her hand all the way back. I stole a few glances her way and found her sitting contentedly with a smile on her beautiful face.

Zarah

We drove back to my place in silence after a wonderful dinner. By the time we walked to my door, I was already feeling disappointed that our date was coming to an end, which doesn't make sense at all since I'm supposed to not... Damn it.

I glanced up at him and he was smiling at me tenderly. "Would you like to come in?" I asked. Wait what? That wasn't part of the plan at all! But the words were out before I could stop myself.

He smiled and brought his hand up to my face. "I'd love to angel, but I better not."

Unexpected pain and disappointment stabbed at my chest.

"Hey..." He said as he tilted my chin up to meet his gaze. "Honey, trust me, I want to. I really really want to. But if I go in there, I don't think I'll be able to stop myself from making love to you. I want to do this right. I want to take this slow with you, angel." He brushed his knuckles against my cheek and gave me a quick kiss on the lips. "Zarah, I acted like a complete asshole to you a year ago. I made the biggest mistake of my life when I let you walk away from me. I'm not repeating the same mistake. I'm just glad, you're giving me a second chance. And this time, I want to do right by you. I don't just want sex with you. You are not just some girl. You're my girl."

His girl? Yeah, I bet he said that to all the girls he hooked up with, I thought bitterly.

"Stop that! I know what you're thinking and no. Zarah I know I messed up and it's hard for you to trust me, but angel, I never said that to any other woman. Just you, angel. Just you," he said.

I heard the sincerity in his voice and saw the honesty in his eyes. But I was fooled by him before. I've made the mistake of believing and trusting him. I'm not that fool anymore.

I plastered a smile on my face. "Okay."

He gave me a quick peck on the lips. "Goodnight, angel. I had a fantastic time with you."

I smiled. "Me too."

"Good. Goodnight, angel. Now go inside."

I smiled and nodded.

I stepped inside and gave him one last smile before I close the door. I glob back against the door and sighed.

"You are not just some girl. You're my girl," he said.

I snorted. "Yeah right..."
