Chapter 738 Excited
Lucy raised a brow, "Carrying me out?" She asked and he chuckled.
"Do you remember our first movie date when we were in a temporary relationship? (Chapter 105)" He asked and Lucy giggled.
"The fake relationship you tricked me into, you mean?" She asked in amusement as she recalled their early days together.
"You\'ve changed a lot since then, you know?" Tom asked and she raised a brow.
"What do you mean?" She asked and before Tom could respond a waiter came to attend to them, and they both focused on the menu and after giving their orders and the waiter had left, Lucy looked at Tom again.
"What do you mean I\'ve changed a lot since then?" She asked curiously even though she knew it was true that she had. She just wanted to know why he said that.
"That night you said you didn\'t like public displays of affection and clingy people, remember?" Tom asked and she grinned.
"Well, I didn\'t like it then," she said with a shrug.
"Remember what you said when I said you can\'t say you don\'t like something when you\'ve never tried it?"
"Yeah. I don\'t have to experience something to know how I feel about it," Lucy said with a giggle.
"See you now," Tom said with a smug smile and she scowled.
"Did you bring this up just so you could feel smug?" Lucy asked and Tom grinned.
"Yeah. I can remind you of a couple of things I said which has now come true," Tom said and she raised a brow.
"Like what?"
"Breaking down all your walls and being in your space until you want to spend every time you have with me (chapter 24)," Tom said and Lucy rolled her eyes.
"Who said you\'ve broken down all my walls? And who said I want to spend all my spare time with you?" Lucy asked and Tom chuckled.
"We both know I have," he said and she shook her head.
"You are feeling proud for no reason," Lucy said as a waiter came with their wine.
"You just don\'t want to admit it. No problem. I\'m sure you will admit it some day. Mark my words," Tom said confidently and Lucy shook her head in amusement.
"Even if it were true, seeing how proud you are right now, I\'m never going to admit it," she said as she sipped from her glass after the waiter had left.
"You just did. I\'m content, knowing that you feel too shy to admit it," Tom said as he picked up his wineglass and raised it in a toast.
"Cheers to me for breaking down your walls," Tom said and Lucy giggled.
"You are so full of yourself."
"And full of love for you too," he said as he blew her a case and she laughed softly.
"So, does this place hold any special memories for you?" Tom asked curiously as they waited for their meal to be served.
"Back then when I didn\'t want to leave the house or go anywhere, Sonia used to force me to this mall with her. Sometimes we would see a movie or window shop or get our hair and nails done before eating here."
"See what I was saying? Sonia used to force you here, but you brought me here," Tom said with a smug smile and she shook her head.
"You are not going to get any more word out of me," Lucy promised and be grinned.
Neither of them said a word as the Waiter arrived with their orders and afte he left, Tom helped Lucy chop her steak into smaller sizes before doing the same for himself.
"It\'s been a while since we ate together this way, just the both of us," Lucy said after they had eaten in silence for a while.
"We ate together last weekend at your place, and we also ate together on Monday before the whole dispute started," Tom pointed out and Lucy scowled at him.
"That doesn\'t mean it hasn\'t been a while. That was on Monday and today is Saturday," she said and Tom chuckled.
"I see. Yeah. It\'s been a while," Tom said with a grin, resisting the urge to tell her this was an example of her wanting to spend every time she could with him.
"And we\'ve never eaten out like this either," Lucy said and Tom raised a brow.
"We have..."
"No, we haven\'t eaten out alone. The only times we\'ve been to a restaurant was to have dinner with Harry and Aaron. And the other time was dinner with your grandfather. The other times we were out alone was at the bar. The first time we met, the other time you took me to a bar while we were getting to be friends, and the last time was when you wanted us to switch roles at the club. And finally our ice cream date on Monday," Lucy said and Tom chuckled.
"You seem to have given this a lot of thought," he observed with much amusement since she was missing something.
"Of course, I have. Since you won\'t take me out on a date I chose to take you out on one," Lucy said with disapproval.
"I see you conveniently forgot that I took you out on a date some time ago. We had dinner together in a fancy restaurant," Tom reminded her.
"That date doesn\'t count. I don\'t even remember it because you annoyed me by tricking me to the spa when you knew Anita would be there," Lucy said dismissively.
"You were annoyed yet I remember you not leaving a crumb on any of the dishes served, and you drank so much that you got drunk," Tom said and Lucy scowled.
"Tipsy, not drunk. And what does that have to do with anything? You are the one who ruined the day by making your ex-girlfriend a part of it," Lucy said and Tom snorted.
"And you don\'t think you ruined the day by bringing up that discussion about adopting kids earlier that morning? (chapter 528)" Tom asked and Lucy glared at him.
"Why are you bringing up the past?" she asked and Tom chuckled.
"Really? You can bring it up, but I can\'t?" he asked and she sighed.
"Alright, lets say we are even. So you took me out on a fancy date once before, so what? You should do that more often," Lucy said and Tom grinned.
"Would you like me to take you out on a date every spare time you have?" Tom asked and without thinking she nodded.
"Definitely. Shit! You bastard!" Lucy cussed when Tom roared with laughter and she realized she had fallen into his trap.
"See? You do want to spend all your spare time with me," Tom said with a cheeky smile.
"You also want to spend all your spare time with me," Lucy said defensively.
"True. I never denied that," Tom said casually.
"Whatever," Lucy hissed as she resumed eating and Tom grinned.
"Would you say you\'re the jealous type?" Tom asked after they had eaten in silence for some time.
"You know I am. My action on the queue earlier should be enough proof of that. Why?" Lucy asked as she sipped from her wineglass.
"What action? Kissing me like you are supposed to, as my girlfriend?" Tom asked, feigning ignorance and Lucy narrowed her eyes.
"You saw her, didn\'t you? I know you did. You enjoy watching me get jealous, don\'t you?" Lucy asked with a scowl, and Tom chuckled.
"I enjoy watching you act so possessive. If the situation was reversed I know I would do what you did or even more," Tom said with a shrug.
"What more could you possibly do? Make love to me in public?" Lucy joked.
"Announce to everyone present that you are mine and they should stop staring?" Tom asked and Lucy laughed.
"That would be too much," she said with a shake of her head as she imagined him doing that.
"That\'s because my love for you is clearly too much," Tom said and Lucy grinned.
"Why did you ask if I was the jealous type?" Lucy asked, and Tom shrugged.
"You keep giving me mixed signals. I can\'t really tell if you\'re jealous or not," Tom said and she raised a brow.
"What do you mean?"
"I wouldn\'t allow any of your ex or their friends or even family members come an inch close to you," Tom said and Lucy rolled her eyes.
"Lucky you, I don\'t have any exes then. I guess this is about Kimberly and Dawn again?" She said and Tom shrugged.
"Why should I be jealous of Kimberly because she had you, no. She didn\'t even have you. You both only had sex once as strangers. I\'m the one with you. I have you all to myself so why do I have to be jealous of her? She isn\'t even an ex. Well, truth be told, I was a bit jealous when I thought Dawn was yours. But that was as far as it went," Lucy said as she picked up her cutlery to eat.
"Why were you jealous of her then?" Tom asked with interest and she shrugged.
"Because having a child together means you both share something special whether or not you think so. And it means you will both be a permanent part of each other\'s life whether you want it or not. And I don\'t like to share," Lucy said and Tom smiled.
"You must have been very happy to know Dawn wasn\'t mine," Tom said and Lucy bobbed her head.
"Yes, I was. I still am," Lucy admitted and Tom smiled.
"Is that why you wanted to be friends with her?" Tom asked and Lucy rolled her eyes.
"Why do you keep bringing that up even after I\'ve cut her off? You seem to like talking about her a lot. Do you perhaps want to go back to her and have kids with her?" Lucy asked with a scowl and Tom chuckled.
"Will you let me do that?" He asked sweetly and she pointed her fork and knife at him.
"Do you know how much damage these can do to a man?" She threatened and he laughed.
"I don\'t think I want to know," Tom said as he sipped from his wineglass.
"Good," Lucy said as she returned her attention to her meal.
"Ace?" Lucy called when she remembered something she wanted to discuss with him.
Tom raised a brow as he met her gaze since he was chewing.
"Remember what I said about hosting parties at your place?" She asked, and Tom nodded as he swallowed the morsel of meat in his mouth.
"Yes. What about it?" He asked curiously.
"How about we host a Christmas party this year?" Lucy asked, and Tom looked at her thoughtfully.
"A Christmas party? That is five months away," Tom said and Lucy nodded.
"It would be a themed party. Although I haven\'t decided on the theme yet, I just wanted to run the idea by you first," Lucy said and Tom smiled.
"That is fine. You would need an event planning agency to work with you on it so you\'re not stressed out. You can employ the service of the company who handled our anniversary event. They\'re rated as the best in the country," Tom suggested.
"I take it you would need a list of people to invite since you would need to send out the invitation early," he said and Lucy nodded.
"Yes. I would need a list of your major shareholders and top business partners. Also, a couple of very important personalities would be invited. And the press of course," Lucy said, her eyes gleaming with excitement.
"You seem pretty excited about this," Tom observed with a smile.
"I am," Lucy said with a nod. Who wouldn\'t be excited at the thought of planning her own engagement party?
"When we get home I will give you one of my black cards. You can use it to take care of the expenses," Tom said and Lucy smiled.
It was funny that she was going to be using his own money to organize their engagement party. She hoped he would like what she had planned for him. For them.
