Chapter 118: Breakfast Diner.
"So, what are we doing today?" Bethany asked, breaking the comfortable silence between them as they’d finally left the forest area into the town. She was going to miss the forest, but she was beyond excited to spend the day with Tristan.
Given his always-serious, and down to business personality, she really didn’t know what to expect.
"All are surprises." He clipped, winking at her.
"Hell, no! You have to tell me one thing at least. You can’t leave me in the dark." She argued, defiance shining in her eyes, but Tristan just chuckled, shaking his head.
"I definitely can." He teased, with mischief in his own eyes, placing his hand on her thigh, squeezing softly. "Relax, you’re going to enjoy it." He assured her. Something in his tone and the way he looked at her briefly before turning back to the road made her believe him and relax under his touch.
They fell into quietness again, none of them being able to strike a conversation, but eventually Tristan was able to think of something after successfully shoving his nervous thoughts to the back of his mind, putting them under lock and key.
He couldn’t afford to let them ruin his day with her.
"So, you’ve spent two days with us." He pointed, swallowing. "How do you feel about those days? Did anything make you uncomfortable?" He asked, glancing at her.
"Uncomfortable?" She asked, letting out a small chuckle. "No. Nothing has made me uncomfortable. What ever I don’t like, I tell you guys about it at once, and that’s all. Besides, this is our first week together, we are still getting to know each other." She explained.
Nodding in satisfaction, he responded. "Okay. I understand. I have another question." He said.
