She squirmed in her seat as her skin darkened in a red hue, wishing to just move forward and kiss him since he was being so sexy now she could hardly stand it. “O-Of course..” she breathed, chest rising and falling. If he continued like that they would hardly get to the next part of the date.
Oh dear now she was at a loss for words because of how badly he was affecting her. She couldn’t take it anymore and let herself slump slightly in her seat, biting her lip.
“Love..why must you be so sexy..?”
The situation wasn’t any easier for Jack. The poor man was nearly purple in the face now. He hadn’t been trying to be sexy or seduce her, at all – why did it feel like it only came out when he wasn’t trying?
“Just, um, natural talent?” he replied weakly. Nodding at the delicious cake waiting for them, he went on, “So, shall we eat?”
The manager kindly lent them a knife, and Jack began slicing up his cake. “I know it’s my birthday, but I’d still like you to have the first piece,” he said to Katelynn. “How much … ?”
“But the birthday boy gets first slice,” she argued softly though still indicated the small piece she wanted. “Sorry I didn’t celebrate it with you yesterday by the way but I really wanted today to be a surprise. Next year we can have two parties for your birthday and anniversary.”
Her present to him was also waiting in the room she wanted to take him to but that was still a surprise on its own.
“Hey, I’m the birthday boy, and I say you get the first piece,” Jack teased her back gently. He set the slice in front of her, along with a fork, and cut a slightly larger piece for himself (though not as big as he would have cut if he’d been alone, since he didn’t want to look like a pig, birthday or no birthday). “And you don’t need to do that, Katelynn. Our anniversary is a lot more special to me than my birthday. I’d rather just have one party, really."
