BOBBY

“ H ey little prince,” he says, towering over me. He enters my loft, and then leans in to give me a kiss.

Suddenly, I hear his strong stomach rumble. “What that’s your cooking,” he ask, a hand on his stomach in embarrassment.

Darke chuckles and shakes his head, “I guess I’m just hungry. Sorry about that.”

I grin mischievously, “Well, I think I can help with that. I was thinking of ordering some dinner instead. What do you say?”

Darke’s eyes light up, “That sounds amazing. What were you thinking of getting?”

I pull out my phone and start scrolling through food delivery options, “How about Chinese? I know this great place that delivers.”

Darke nods enthusiastically, “Chinese sounds perfect. And maybe we can try the dessert you got?”

I smile, “Of course, beast.”

We order the food, and then the food delivery guy is here to drop it off. “The delivery-”

“Let me go get it for you” Darke say being generous.

“Okay, beast. He’s right at the front door,” I say to him.

Darke gets up from the couch and walks to the front door, his broad shoulders and confident stride making him look even more handsome. He opens the door, and I hear him exchange a friendly greeting with the delivery person.

He returns with a big smile, carrying a bag of steaming hot food. “Alright, little prince, our Chinese food has arrived!” He sets the bag down on the coffee table and starts unpacking the containers.

The aroma of freshly cooked Chow mein, soup dumplings, and fried rice fills the room, making my stomach growl with anticipation. Darke notices and chuckles, “I think someone’s hungry!”

I nod enthusiastically, and we both dig in, savoring the delicious flavors and enjoying each other’s company.

As we eat, we chat about our day, sharing stories and laughter. It feels so natural and comfortable, like we’ve been doing this for years.
