Don't Mess with the Girl with Candy novel Chapter 1324

"Heh." Jimmie let out a low, breathy chuckle. "Shanley's romantic lines are way more nauseating than mine."

"True."

The man standing in front of her was far too gorgeous. Terrified she might actually lose her self-control, Luella quickly looked away and changed the subject. "You haven't eaten, right? I brought dinner."

"No."

Watching the girl slip out of his space, Jimmie followed her toward the dining area.

"I'm going to change."

After two steps, he suddenly stopped and looked over his shoulder. "Want to feel them first? 100% authentic, rock-hard abs."

Luella froze, her hands mid-air over the takeout bags, staring at him with bright, eager eyes.

Jimmie smirked and walked into the bedroom.

When he reemerged, he was fully and properly dressed.

"Eat up." Luella served him a portion of rice and arranged the side dishes. "I wasn't sure what you liked, so just eat whatever."

"Whatever you like, I like," Jimmie answered smoothly.

Honestly.

These dishes were all his favorites.

"If you say one more cheesy line, I swear I'm throwing you out the window." Luella raised a fist at him.

"I'm serious!"

Jimmie looked entirely innocent, emphasizing every word. "These dishes are perfect!"

To prove he wasn't just sweet-talking her, he even pulled up photos of his usual catered meals on set.

Luella pursed her lips.

Okay, maybe she misjudged him.

"Let's eat." Jimmie proceeded to pick up every single piece of meat from his container and place it into hers.

"I don't like meat," Luella complained.

Jimmie immediately moved the meat back to his plate and asked if she wanted the feta instead.

"Is this how dating actually works?" Luella mumbled, poking at her food with her silverware.

"That's how they do it in the movies," Jimmie answered earnestly after a few seconds of genuine thought.
