Nocturne did his best to hide his smile behind his drink or his food as he watched CJ eat. She was having such an experience that he was enjoying it more than he was enjoying his food. Everything was delicious but it was the pure delight and even orgasmic expressions CJ made as she tried everything for the first time that got to him. It also confirmed his suspicions that she had a rough life if she wasn’t fully aware of how buffets worked and that she definitely wasn’t eat as much as she should be. When the layers came off as they sat down, he noted she was still as skinny as she was months ago. Hopefully this meal wouldn’t leave her sick from indulging so much in one go.
Still, he encouraged her when he was asked if she could have more. He kept the comments about how hungry she must have been or that she had hollow legs to store all the food in to himself as the skittish girl was finally disappearing behind the more outgoing girl. They had discovered they could trade witty comments but Nocturne felt like the food enthusiasm being pointed out would have CJ withdraw into herself again and rush out the door. He would just have to try his best to keep up with her since he had been hungry but not all-you-can-eat sushi levels of hungry. He’d only suggested it because it was a way to make sure CJ ate as much as she needed.
A few more plates of his choosing were added after CJ selected her next round and as they waited, he explained where the mostly vegetarian diet came from and that he didn’t care if she ordered every meat item on the menu as it wouldn’t offend him. In fact, it was hard to offend him about most anything and he was more likely to piss someone else off with his comments.
As they were nearing the end of the next round, Nocturne directed CJ’s gaze over to a self-serve section that contained soups and salads (he didn’t think she’d care about those and avoided them earlier) and the small ice cream selection for dessert. As much as he wanted to tease her, he refrained from mentioning that deep fried banana was the specialty dessert knowing her distaste for the fruit and didn’t order one for himself despite his enjoyment of them. He did go for a small bowl of ice cream, however, and as he worked on it, he asked, “did you mention you work tonight and wanted to sleep still?”
That just figured. Nocturne chided himself for not paying better attention and taking her somewhere that could be over an hour in eating. But she hadn’t seemed to be in a rush which made him feel a bit better about it. “Sushi is excellent for putting you in a food coma so you should get a few hours in.”
They ate a bit more before CJ finally tapped out and Nocturne paid on their way out. As they were leaving, he took CJ’s hand again, knowing it gave her comfort earlier with how tightly she hung on and refused to let go unless necessary. He only let go when they made it to the Jeep and he had to walk to the driver’s side. Once inside, his phone was pulled out, unlocked, and he brought up a new contact, labelling it as ‘Skittles’ and passed it over to CJ. “This is me asking for your number so we can meet up more on our own whims instead of fate’s desires. And where to, m’lady?”
