Why can't it just be easy to eat Western food? She complained on the inside but on the outside, she kept a straight face.
The dishes were placed on the table and they all looked marvelous which made Amelia's mouth water.
"Eat up," Lucian said in a low voice. He cut the beef with knife and fork rather skillfully, his cream-colored fingers blending in with the Chinaware.
Meanwhile, Amelia looked confused as she held her knife and fork. She didn't know which hand to use.
She liked to eat spicy food so whenever she went out with Jasper, they always ate Chinese food or hotpot. She'd never been to such a fancy restaurant before.
She'd seen actors eat like this on TV before but that didn't really help with her confusion.
Noticing the look on her face, Lucian put his utensils down and reached out to reposition how Amelia was holding her knife and fork. "Okay, that's good," he quipped.
Amelia blushed in embarrassment as she still didn't know what to do. The silence weighed in on her as Lucian continued to eat his meal.
She took a deep breath. She was at a loss because she still didn't know what to do.
She needed to have her knife in her right hand and her fork in her left hand. Amelia muttered to herself, trying to bear all of this in mind as she tried to eat.
Lucian seemed to read her mind. He said, "There are no rules. You don
. If Sasha only knew how much you loved her, I'm sure she would be happy."
For some reason, she felt empty after saying those words. She felt as if she was disconnected from herself.
Lucian turned off the car engine along with the lights. It was completely dark as the trees that surrounded them were blocking the street lights. They could see the road from where they were but it was a bit too hazy.
Amelia didn't know why Lucian stopped the car all of a sudden. Just as she was about to turn to him and ask, he suddenly leaned over to her and put an arm around her shoulder. There wasn't much distance left between them as they faced each other, lips almost touching.
Everything was quiet and Amelia felt as if she was floating. Overwhelmed by her nervousness, she tried to steady herself. Luckily, Lucian was holding her shoulders with his hands and soon, he closed the distance between them by touching his lips with hers.
The kiss turned from soft and gentle to passionate really quickly. She stiffened as she inhaled his scent. His warm lips covering hers... It was intoxicating.
Everything happened so quickly and it was almost dream-like.
As much as she wanted to push him away, she couldn't. She couldn't bring herself to because she wanted this to happen.
She relished the taste of his soft lips and the warmth of his breath on her face.
