“Excellent. Because I’ve got a 1950s date night at the drive-in theme going here.” I reach into the back and grab the bag, still nice and hot, and lay the options out on the dash. “We’ve got a split grilled hotdog, cheeseburger, hamburger, and grilled cheese. Oh, and this entire bag is fries for sharing.”
“Quite the variety,” he chuckles.
“Anything for you, baby. I got you the entire menu,” I chuckle with him. “However, what they lack in variety, I promise they make up for in taste.”
“And I can just pick whatever?”
“Yeah… that’s kinda the point of me buying one of everything.”
“What if I want it all?”
“You’re going to eat all this yourself?” And I really can’t tell if he’s teasing or not.
“Yup.” He smiles.
“Then I’ll happily eat some concessions instead. This place sells popcorn and plenty of other snacks. A wide variety of drinks, too.”
Bailey goes for the hamburger first and unfolds the tinfoil. “What are we seeing?”
“Double feature. Rom-com first, then a horror flick. But we can leave before the second if you want.”
The sun has already set, and the first movie should start in fifteen minutes or less. I have no idea why I assume Bailey won’t like scary movies, but very few people have a neutral opinion of horror and he doesn’t strike me as a fan. Then again, the idea of him curling into me to hide appeals to me way too much.
Bailey takes his first bite, and he hums from the sheer deliciousness of his burger. That’s the entire reason I chose the place—I felt certain he’d like it. Turns out all that creeping on his social media paid off some.
“Worth being surprised, huh?” I tease.
He nods along, happily chewing. And I have to say, seeing him so content right now makes the entire evening for me. While chewing the last bite, he looks at the rest of the food set on the dash. “What’s your favorite thing to get from there?”
“Trying to decide what to eat next?”
Bailey cackles and nods while rolling the empty wrapper into a ball.
“Cheeseburger.”
He shifts that closer to him. “Second favorite?”
“Grilled cheese.”
He steals that next and looks at what’s left. “That leaves the hot dog.”
“I will gladly eat the hot dog. Honestly, the whole menu is good.”
“And I’m about to figure out how true that is since I will be eating all of this.” He steals the hot dog, too. “Starting with the cheeseburger.”
“You go right ahead.”
Bailey smiles again, and I recognize the smirk of being very pleased with himself. He picks up the cheeseburger and teases it closer to me again.
“You really can have it.”
“Oh, I know. My turn to torment you.” He makes a show of unwrapping it slowly and inhaling.
“Stuff yourself, if that’s what makes you happy.”
“Normally, it doesn’t.” He hands over the unwrapped cheeseburger and smiles so sweetly. Bless him, the innuendo went right over his head. And I continue to think this whilehe lovingly watches me take the first bite of my burger before leaning even closer and flicking his eyes up at me again. “I might like it if you do it, though.”
He’s trying to kill me. Either I will be the first man to die from sexual frustration, or he intended me to choke on that bite of burger. And that smile—nothing short of wicked now. This is exactly how Bailey keeps me on my toes. I have no doubt he knows exactly what he’s doing, but for the first time, I’m struggling to keep up with someone… and I fucking love it.
