NovelEnglish- Chapter 435
The drive was short and sweet, and he hadn't let go of my hand since we got in the truck.
“Drive-thru?”. He asked.
| shrugged. “Do we have tto eat inside?”
“We've always got tbabe”. He brought my hand to his lips placing a kiss on my knuckles.
| liked the touchy-feely, the closeness we shared. It had been a while since we had spent any real ttogether.
Sure, we lived in the shouse and shared the sbed, but to spend real ttogether without anyone else
hardly ever happened.
There was always someone somewhere interrupting. | didn’t mind it, but sometimes | wanted him all to myself.
“You good to go?”.
“Yeah”. | smiled.
Hand in hand, we walked inside. It wasn’t overly busy, and Jake had already spotted an empty table and was
pullingtowards it.
“Do you know what you want?”. He asked.
The smell alone was making my stomach growl. | wanted everything. “I'm going to look over the menu. | think |
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwant a combo meal”.
He nodded as he followed my movements and got to his feet. Slipping his arm around my shoulder, we both
searched through the menu.
“I think I want a burrito instead”. | pushed my lips. “Yeah, the chipotle ranch grilled chicken and a Pepsi”.
“Chicken nachos?” He grinned.
“Oh, yeah, and get extra nacho cheese.”
Jake went to place our order and pay while | headed back to our table. | took my phone from my pocket and
checked through my messages. Alanna wanted a night out; my gran wanted to make sure Chinese was good for
tonight, but the one that caught my attention the most was from Charlotte.
She wantedto cover for tea tomorrow. Jake's gran was visiting, and she wanted to see me. She wasn’t
in town much and | had only met her than one tand don’t getwrong she was nice to me, sweet and kind
but something deep down toldshe was coming for something.
There was a reason behind her visit, and | had a feeling it might be me. Or | was completely over thinking
everything like | always do, and she just wanted to visit.
“Are you okay?”. Jake asked, placing the tray of food on the table before sitting down.
“Yeah”. | nodded. “Do you know your grans are coming to visit?”
“Did my mom tell you?”.
“She senta text invitingover for tea”.
“Don’t be nervous”. He frowned. “You've met her before, and she likes you”.
| wasn’t nervous, was I?
“I'm not”. | took my food, starting with a drink of my Pepsi. “She’s not coming just to see me, is she?”
“No idea”. He shrugged.
“Why would she be coming to visit me?”.
“Cause you're marrying her favorite grandson”. He grinned.
Rolling my eyes, | took a bite of my burrito. “I'm not nervous, but things like this makenervous. It's all I'll
think about all day”. Yes, | was that type of person.
“She probably just wants to know why we’ve not set a date yet”.
A date? | didn’t even have a ring. Marriage would ceventually, but not now, not yet, not when everything
was falling into place nicely. | wanted a career first before | even thought about walking down any aisle.
“Leah”. He reached over placing his hand on mine. “I'm joking she'll be coming to visit my mom just like she
always does. Stop worrying so much over nothing”.
“Haha”. | made a face.
He knew what | was like; | freaked out easily, and the mention of dates and rings was going to sendover the
edge. Don’t getwrong, | couldn't wait to marry him, but not right now.
“Chill out and eat your food”. He winked.
