Diavolo Ch 10

... he decided to come back to the apartment. As of yet he hadn’t even called her. Swallowing down the pang of anxiety that thought caused, she walked back toward Daniel who extended his arm to her. Exiting the daycare, which was located on the first floor of the North Star Recording company building, Daniel led her to the restaurant near the entrance to the sixty story building. It took up the north-east corner of the building and had glass windows that looked out onto the busy Irvine cityscape beyond. Gold linen-covered tables with white upholstered chairs filled the large restaurant. It was full, but the hostess escorted Daniel and her to a corner booth by the windows. She really didn’t have much of an appetite, but Daniel ordered a steak dinner for the both of them and some wine despite her protests. Abigail shifted in her seat. She was dying to check her phone, but didn’t want to be rude. Had Gabriel called her yet? She regretted not checking when she got her purse. Had she even turned it on that morning? Dread fell over her as she remembered how hasty she left the apartment after oversleeping. She’d pretty much cried herself to sleep and forgot to set her alarm. “Are you okay?” Daniel asked snapping her out of her thoughts. “You seem distracted.” “Oh,” she smiled apologetically. “I’m sorry.

She shook her head. “No, Daniel. I’m actually very happy.” She cringed inwardly when her voice caught and Daniel’s face became slightly blurry. His brows pinched tighter over his straight nose. She blinked her stupid tears and rushed on. “This is what I wanted. To be on my own. Honestly.” A crease formed between his brows, and his voice was soft but stern, “Gabriel is pressuring you to be with him? Mikayla mentioned he was living with you.” Abigail’s face heated some more. She finally snatched her hand away. “My life with Gabriel is a private matter, Daniel, but no. He isn’t pressuring me into anything.” The chair next to her, opposite from Daniel moved back. Abigail watched in stunned horror as Gabriel settled himself in it. His smile didn’t reach his eyes. “Mind if I join you?” The waiter that had taken their order rushed back and Gabriel asked for whatever Daniel was having.
