Chapter 188: A Date
"Where are we headed?" Nora asked as she tried to quell the fluttering butterflies in her stomach as the car slowed at the red signal.However, Demetri turned toward her gradually, and instead of answering, he swiftly leaned sideways, capturing her lips in a kiss before just as swiftly pulling away.
Before Nora could fully grasp what was happening, Demetri had already retreated, and the car was back in motion. It wasn’t until they came to a halt at the fourth red signal that she comprehended the pattern. Every time their car stopped, Demetri would lean over, bestowing a kiss upon her...
It was only after they were met with every red signal repeatedly that Nora caught onto the reason why her husband was driving at the speed of a tortoise...
"Are we playing some kind of red signal game that I’m not aware of?" she asked, a playful smile tugging at the corners of her lips.
Demetri chuckled, his gaze lingering on her face. "Maybe we are. It’s a game of slowing down and stealing a moment when the world pauses. I want to do that with you, you know. Pause everything and steal every moment."
Nora could not help but feel warmth at this and quickly looked away and answered with a blush," I think I quite like this game of Red signal..." As the signal turned green, she quickly moved forward and kissed his cheek. When he looked at her in surprise, she blushed red and spoke, "Well, its because we can be together even when everything is unpaused."
Demetri smiled at that and continued to drive towards their destination. It was quite a while later that they reached the place he had chosen and Nora could not help but look around curiously before she said," We’ve come for a drive through movie?"
"Hmm. You’ve never been to a drive through and you wanted to give it a try..."
Nora did not know why she was surprised anymore. This man had the memory of an elephant. She’d only casually mentioned this and yet here they were. "Come on, lets move to the back so that we can walk it comfortably. We are almost late."
