EVE'S POV

I wasn't an actual fan of rock music but I found myself nodding to it, once Nathan increased the volume. He sang every word of every lyric. I turned my face away from the darkness of the night, to take a look at him.

He was absolutely drowned in the energetic melodies. He sang with much enthusiasm which caused me to giggle. He abruptly turned to my direction and smiled. He went back to what he was doing as I tapped my feet lightly to the beats of the songs.

--------------------

As compared to other Saturday nights, there wasn't much traffic in town today. We drove smoothly to a fast food drive through to get food. It was soon our turn to order what we wanted.

"What would you like?" Nathan asked after he had placed his order. I thought of what to eat as I wasn't extremely hungry.

"A normal burger and a milkshake will do. Strawberry," He looked at me oddly and I stared back at him, totally confused.

"That's it?" He asked and I merely nodded. "Are you sure? You can get any other thing..." I smiled and he stopped talking.

"That's fine Nathan. They're waiting," He quickly turned his direction to the machine. I smiled and shook my head.

We picked up our food few minutes after we had ordered it. Nathan's car was the only object sitting in the empty parking lot. After switching on the lights in the car, he started enjoying his meal.

I took a small bite of my food and sucked in the scrumptious taste. I fit more pieces into my mouth, munching on it slowly. Nathan ate the thin fingers of fries one by one. He supped his drink, stealing quick glances at me.

I finished my food quicker than I had expected, considering the fact that I claimed not to be too hungry. I stirred the last bit of the milkshake before sending it down my throat. We mostly ate our food in silence while songs played in the background.

I sat quietly as Nathan busily ate his food. I stole a fry from him and shoved it into my mouth, giggling. He looked at me without uttering a word and just smiled.

"I thought you said you didn't want anything more," As he spoke, I took a handful more. I took my time to eat them without replying him.

He playfully snatched them back and I pouted. "But I was eating those!" I whined like a five year old child, still munching on the leftover in my mouth.

"But they are mine!" He copied me dramatically, making me chuckle. "Here you go. They're all yours." He handed the container and my face lightened with joy. I took them with honour and ate them, leaving one last fry.

Nathan stared at me, clearly confused. I took the fry and drove it to his mouth. He gladly opened his mouth and ate it, smiling. I wiped my greasy fingers and packed the containers.

------------------------

"No, that's not true!" I squealed, hitting Nathan lightly as he drove me back. "I can handle crowds." My palms continued meeting with his solid arms causing a stinging pain to develop on them.

His deep, contagious laugh filled the dark car and I remained silent. "You had to run through the people to get to my car, you preferred eating in the car to eating inside, the list goes on and on Eve."

"Do you read me or something?" His brown eyes lightened up even in the thick darkness as he smiled. I watched him slowly as his eyes averted back to the road after he shrugged.

I hit him again and regretted it quickly. I rubbed both palms together as he spoke up. "It's been such a little while, but I feel like I've known you for forever." He stated, looking at me and smiling briefly.

A sheepish smile spread vastly over my face. I sat there quietly, taking my phone and focusing on practically nothing. The silence in the car grew so thick, it could be cut with a knife. The only sound heard was the soft background music from the speakers.
