nannies and bought them a business as a goodbye gift if they weren’t.
Which meant we could see each other at some event, but I quickly dismissed that thought.
Who knew where he came from, anyway? For the sake of my sanity, I decided not to ask.
“ And it worked out?” It was probably hard to hide the skepticism from my voice; the bakery was empty. I didn't know much about the whole bakery business, but surely, it had to have customers to survive.
“ Don’t let the looks deceive you. She’s successful; just on weekend evenings she has fewer customers. Usually the place is packed.” Well, good for her then. Since it was her dream all those years she spent as a nanny, it probably would have sucked if she failed.
“ I’m happy for her; it’s good when your dreams come true. Your parents did a good thing.”
He nodded his head and then leaned forward. “We haven’t discussed it yet, you know.”
“ What exactly?” I felt like we covered almost everything at dinner.
“ The dreams. What do you do in life?” Before I could answer, Mia was back with two coffees and one chocolate cake. She put it on the table, and then gave us a wink.
“ That’s the last of the cake, but I figured you two could share a piece, right?” With those words, she left our table, heading to the back, and we just shook our heads. Drake grabbed his fork and cut off a bit of the cake, which I have to admit looked delicious with chocolate leaking from all its corners, and then he put the fork up to my lips.
“ Open,” he commanded, and without another word, I allowed him entrance. The sweetest, most delicious, exquisite taste exploded in my mouth from just a small bite of it.
Mia’s cake was the shit!
I closed my eyes and moaned inwardly. How was it possible to resist such a treat? The chocolate was melting inside my mouth all by itself.
“ Eyes open, sweetheart.” I snapped them back to him and his eyes were heated with desire.
“ If you continue to have that reaction to each bite, I’m afraid we won’t be able to stay here very long.” His words made me blush, and I automatically looked around to see if anyone heard him.
Seriously, this man had no filter. Even back at the restaurant full of people, he was sending me innuendoes.
“ Would you stop saying that?” I hissed, which made him laugh.
“ No. It’s the truth anyway. Good, huh?” He took a bite himself, and then fed me another one.
“ You know it is. This cake is like a curse to women; even a chick on a strict diet wouldn't be able to resist it.” No joke, really. “That woman can seriously bake.”
“ Thank you, dear!” she yelled from behind the door. My eyes widened.
“ She can hear everything?!”
“ I do, yeah. I have to have some fun here; part of it is eavesdropping. But since you complimented my baking, I think I can go rest a bit while you kids enjoy yourselves.” Her voice held laugher, and Drake didn’t try to hide his amusement.
“ Busted,” he said. We drank the coffee; it was a bit strong for me, but good nevertheless.
“ You haven’t answered my question.”
“ Which question?” With all this cake and Mia, it was hard to focus on anything else.
“ What do you do in life?”
Exhaling a breath, I decided to be honest. “Can we not do this?”
He frowned. “Do what?”
“ Ask these questions to each other. Who were are, what we do, and all that? Can we not do that tonight?”
He studied me for a few moments, and then nodded. “Fair enough. If you want to have it that way, I’ll give it to you tonight.”
“ Good.” We finished our cake and he stood up to pay, but I stopped him.
“ Let it be my treat, okay? You paid everywhere already.” His eyes narrowed; he completely ignored my words and took out several bills from his wallet.
“ Jane,” his voice was hard and low, “when you are out with me, I cover everything. There is no score or equality here. Understand?” It was clear it was useless to argue
