My Double Life

Chapter 28

Kendrick's POV

It's amazing to see how her face lights up out of laughter whenever I tell her a stupid joke. She looks carefree, genuinely happy and in absolute bliss.  Her hair falling back graciously as she tilts her head back.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" She gets me out of my trance, nudging me on my side

I let out a nervous chuckle, "You have food on the side of your mouth. You eat like a child." I say earning a hard glare from her. "Here, let me help you." I quickly lick the inside of my thumb and wipe the side of her mouth

Her eyes widen and her face morphs into a look of disgust.

"Eew gross Kendrick! You are so disgusting." She aggressively wipes the side of her mouth using both her palms

A deep scrawl is plastered on her face as she looks at me unapprovingly.

"That's how mothers clean their babies sometimes, don't look at me like that." I hold my hands up in surrender

"Do I look like a baby to you?" She asks, her scrawl getting deeper

"Well, you could be my baby." I smirk licking my lips

"Too bad, that's never going to happen." She says and I don't miss the faint blush that creeps up on her face

"And when it does, you should make  Never say Never by Justin Bieber and Jaden Smith your ringtone for a whole year." I smile at her

She archs her brow, something she does often when she feels challenged. It's really cute to watch

"Oh really? Fine, I won't have to because it's not happening." She confidently says

We'll see Skylar...

"Alright, are you done yet? We still got one more place to go to." I call for the waiter to bring the bill

We make it out of the restaurant on our way to the second destination. Skylar however still doesn't know where we're going and I can't wait to get there and see the look on her face.

"Before we proceed, I need to blindfold you first." I chuckle at her disapproving face. "You'll love the surprise trust me." I say

I carefully guide her out of the car to the place while she threatens me if she falls or hits her head against something.

"Kendrick, where are we going?" She asks for the millionth time

I parked a bit far from the place because I don't want her to hear the sounds coming from there and instantly guess where we are.

I guide her as close as we can possibly get without her having to hear a thing but she can still see it from this distance.

"Okay, you can remove your blindfold." I say taking a step away from her.

She reaches for the knots at the back of her head and hurriedly untie them with a huge smile plastered on her face.

I take my phone out and record this glorious moment. She successfully unties it, letting it fall to the ground.

It takes a minute for her to fully process her surroundings and her smile falls from her face replaced by an angry frown.

"Kendrick, tell me this is a joke or else run." She says pinching the bridge of her nose and closing her eyes

I'm really tempted to laugh right now but knowing Skylar she'll not only attempt to murder me but she'll walk home and never talk to me again.

"Well it technically is." The glare I get from her is enough to shut my mouth
