use and I didn’t even
even know what to say.
The car ride down to the pizza shop was quiet. Clara hadn’t said a word since she got out of the house and
I briefly glanced at her and the worry on her face made me frown. What could possibly be going on?
“Did Alicia do something to you?” I questioned and she gasped before turning to me with wide eyes.
“No… why
y would you ask that? She…
“I’m not an idiot, Clara. I saw the way your mood dimmed immediately you saw her. What did she do to you?” I questioned and she stared at me for a while before letting out a sigh.
“She didn’t do anything. Fm… I’m not just comfortable with her around” She murmured and I hummed. I knew there was more to it but urging for answers might just make Clara close off to me again and I didn’t want that, not when the night has been going so well
I grabbed onto her hand and gave it a little squeeze.
“Don’t let her dampen your mood and besides she’s not here, it’s just you and me I murmured and she stared at me for a while then smiled.
“You are right, it’s just you and me so I can relax” She muttered and tried pulling out her hand from my hold but I held onto it tightly and even interlocked our fingers.
She glanced up at me and smiled and this time, it was genuine. Her fingers tightened around mine and I let out a breath I hadn’t known! was holding
way this time.
Maybe she wasn’t going to push me away
We got to the pizza shop and the sight of the shop seemed to visibly lift her mood.
“You have got to taste the deluxe pizza. It’s the best” She uttered as we both climbed
dout of the car.
I walked over to her and interlocked our fingers again before leading her into the shop.
As soon as we walked in, Like always all eyes fell on us and if it was in the past, I would have relished in the attention and would have scanned the room for a potential woman I could spend the night with but that was the last thing on my mind.
I was all too aware of Clara’s presence beside me and she was all I could think about.
We got to the counter a
er and the woman behind it kept staring at me with a dreamy look in her eyes but I ignored her and stared down at Clara.
“You said the deluxe pizza right? Anything else?” I questioned softly and she stared up at me with a smile.
“Can I
I get an Oreo milkshake with that?” She questioned and I nodded before turning to the woman who was staring at Clara with a frown.
“You heard what my woman said, right?” uttered coldly and she turned to me with wide eyes.
“Yes… I’ll. I’ll get it ready in a few minutes. Would you like a drink too, sir?” She questioned and i shook
my
head.
“My wife and I will share her drink” i murmured and the woman nodded.
