Shadows In Durango

Chapter 78

*****Sofia's POV*****

I felt like I was on the edge of my seat waiting for Vincent to choose a game for us knowing that the consequences could result in me having to strip down bare naked if I were to lose...

But the thrill still remained, enjoying every second of him chasing and teasing me more than I had expected to...

We both sat and ate our food which went down a treat, the service being flawless amongst other pros about the place. I had ordered the fluffy French toast and Vincent had gone for a burger with hand cut fries which he was close to finishing. "Is yours good?" I question, as he nods back with a mouth full of food to say yes which causes me to giggle.

It doesn't take us long before we finish up eating, as Vincent pays the bill swiftly as I thank him for taking me out to lunch.

"Oh don't thank me yet, the day isn't even over yet doll!" Vincent smirks, before standing up to his full height - reaching a hand out for me to join him.

I get up, taking his hand and feeling suddenly thankful for how care free my life felt whenever I was spending time with him... it was a feeling I had longed for and to finally not feel scared, for that alone I would be eternally grateful to him. "Where to next? Didn't you say that you had another meeting thing on today?" I ponder, as we thank the staff kindly and head out onto the busy street.

"I have people handling that one, I should be all yours!" Vincent winks down at me, interlocking his fingers with mine as I allow him to lead me to our next destination.

So far, this had been the best decision I had ever made to travel here with him for a few days - to take a chance. He was showing me how playful and considerate he could be - shocking me at this point since him and Daryl seemed to have fully switched roles!

"It's not far." He comments, looking around every so often to check his surroundings.

I wonder why he keeps doing that? He almost seems, paranoid?

"Is everything ok? You seem on edge?" I call it for what it seems, genuinely concerned for him as he just laughs me off.

"Yeah I'm good, you don't have to worry." Is all he says, as I sigh slightly and decide just to take in the surroundings on our walk.
