"Give me a moment. I'll just be back..." Daisy got out of the car without finishing the sentence and trotted towards the bakery down the street.
Edward wondered where she was headed, as it was quite possible that she would run away from him.
Daisy began to select some cakes and beverages, after she confirmed that she could pay the bill by card. She picked out several pieces of mousse cakes, a cup of coffee and a carton of milk. When Daisy reached back at the car, loaded with the supplies, she beckoned Edward to open the front door.
Edward glanced at her with a strange look. He was genuinely surprised that she had not run away.
"Here, take this. And now, I will drive." Daisy ordered him while stuffing all the things she had bought, and his wallet, in his hands.
"What are you doing?" Edward frowned, reluctantly taking the stuff while getting out of the driving seat.
"I've brought you food, I am sure that you have not had dinner yet." replied Daisy raising her perfect eyebrows.
Edward flashed his trademark grin and innocently asked, "My love, are you worrying about me? And how did you know that I had not had my dinner yet?" ...
"If you had had your dinner, you wouldn't be so angry." Daisy complained while getting in the car. She reckoned that Edward had immediately rushed to the military district while still talking to Justin on the phone. And then he had waited there for three hours, during which he had not eaten anything as there was nothing there to eat.
Edward looked at her shopping and was surprised to see the cakes. He selected one and took a dainty little bite. Although he was not a big fan of matcha mousse cakes, he found that he could tolerate this one.
"Do you like it? Justin loves this flavor, so I thought you'd find it good too." Daisy expectantly looked at Edward and her normal icy look melted.
"Hmmm...I like it. Here, try it for yourself." Edward said putting the cake to her lips and signaling her to open her mouth.
Daisy blushed. She felt awkward as Edward had already bitten the cake. It would be like an indirect kiss! She did not like cakes, but still took a bite when Edward encouraged her with his eyes.
Edward had done this on purpose as he thought that the frustrated look on her face broke her icy demeanor making her seem more alive.
Daisy was able to drive smoothly even in the densely populated city center. Her adept driving skills impressed him.
Satisfied that she could handle his beloved car well, he leaned back in the seat and studied her with his deep eyes. He found Daisy attractive and charming. She could maintain proper distance without being ruthless. At this moment, he found himself fall in love with the serenity she brought. Simply sitting beside her gave him a sense of relief.
