Chapter 39: Dinner Date
Chapter 39
Aaron finally had the courage to ask Katherine out for dinner, a dinner with just the two of them—not with the kids. Hopefully, she’d agree.
He’d messaged her earlier to ask, and it took 30 minutes, 36 seconds for her to respond. He was nervous when he didn’t receive a response quickly and thought maybe he’d be rejected, but surprisingly, she accepted with a curt reply.
Well, he didn’t mind, as long as they were going on a date.
Aaron picked her up at a bus stop after the hotel street, according to what she wanted. She didn’t allow him to pick her up at the hotel.
He parked his car at the restaurant, and as they walked in, he was assaulted by the warm scent of the high-end building.
It smelled rich and expensive—exactly what he needed.
He gently guided her, placing his hand at the middle of her back, to their space. When they reached it, he gently pulled out the chair for her to sit, and after taking her seat, he sneakily inhaled her scent and felt his heart skip and his ears ring.
God, so heavenly.
Aaron took the menu clipboard, skimmed through it before raising his hand to call the waiter. When the waiter came, he pointed and told him what they wanted.
Katherine’s brow raised. She was surprised because everything Aaron had ordered was her favourite. She didn’t think he’d remember them perfectly.
