chapter 10

Of course. She reached for the wine bottle and filled up her glass again. Asshole. She suddenly felt stupid in her fancy dress. If she was acting her part, the least he could do was act his part also. What idiot would see the two of them this awkward and conclude they were in a relationship, much less married? Roshua returned with two other waiters who placed their orders on the table.

''Enjoy your food.'' He grinned at her.

Alexis' eyes roamed about, wondering where to start from. Reaching for a fork, she dug into the chicken lap, groaning when the juicy meat touched her tongue.

''This is amazing.''

''Made by one of our finest chefs,'' Roshua said.

''I assume everything in this restaurant is made of the finest quality,'' Alexis said.

Roshua winked. ''Of course. Let us know if you need anything.'' And with that, he left.

Haven finally set down his phone and took a long look at her.

''What?'' she asked, mouth full with chicken wings.

''You have a stain at the side of your lips.''

Alexis dropped her fork, wiping her hand across her lips which caused the stain to smear even further. ''Is it gone?''

Haven sighed and reached for a napkin beside him. He tapped it lightly against her lip, as if he was worried the stain would spread even more. Alexis watched him. He could be sweet at times if he wanted to.

''What are you? Nine?'' He withdrew his hand, setting the napkin down.

Alexis scoffed and ignored him. They ate in silence. The more they ate, the more she drank, and after a while, she began to feel tipsy. It was already pitch black outside.

''Alexis?'' She heard Haven call her name.

She blinked, her eyes heavy. ''Hmm?''

''We're leaving.''

''Hmm?'' She repeated. She was definitely drunk now.

She heard Haven sigh. He stood up from his seat and moved to her, grabbing her by her wrist. ''If you can't handle alcohol. Then why drink?''

She waved her hand, dismissing him. ''You're not my mom. Don't tell me what to do.''

''Then don't embarrass me. We still have eyes watching us.''

Had she been sober, she probably would have just nodded and tried to compose herself. But as of the moment, she wasn't. Composure be damned.

''I said don't tell me what to do.'' She removed her hand from his. ''I am the one doing you a favor here.''

''I am paying you.'' He retorted.

''Screw you and your money.'' She clearly didn't mean that.

She stepped backwards, her heels clicking against the marble floor. ''Arrogant bastard. Fucking idiot. You think you're all that, huh?!''

Haven frowned, taking a step closer to her. ''Stop.''

''Don't tell me what to do!''

Her little shout caught the attention of those in the room and suddenly all eyes were on them. She could hear their tiny voices talking, gossiping about them. Haven wanted a rumor, well, he would be getting one from the looks of things.

''You're making a fool of yourself.'' She heard him say.

''I am making a fool of myself? All day, you've been a pain in the butt. But I thought I could put up with it cause I need the money but that doesn't mean you can dictate how or what I do.''

Haven frowned but quickly recomposed himself. ''I am paying you.''

''That's all you have to say?'' She wasn't surprised anyway. Without another word, she turned on her heel almost too dramatically, feeling all eyes on her until she bumped into a table. ''I'm so sorry.'' she cried, tapping the table.

She wobbled forward a bit before she straightened herself, determined not to fall until she reached those automatic doors. She didn't bother to turn around and neither did Haven call her back as she passed through them.
