You glared towards Dante, trying all you had to suppress your anger. You let out a breath, ignoring him completely and looking away. "Dante, sometimes you're too cocky for your own good," you simply stated, resting your chin on the palm of your hand. The two of you stayed in silence for a bit when Alice came back with two drinks in her hand. She placed the glass of water at your side and the coke at Dante's side. You tried ignoring her as much as you could.

"So, you two live near here or you traveling?" she asked, chewing harshly on her gum as if she was a cow eating grass.

"More like a road trip," Dante answered and took a sip of his coca cola.

"Oh, I see," she replied, smiling in Dante's direction. You tried forgetting the fact that she was practically flirting with him.

You mumbled under your breath as you looked up to her. "What was that?" she asked, in a snobbish manner. You faked a smile.

"Oh, what? I didn't say anything," you lied in a sweet voice. She glared at you.

"I know I heard you say something."

"Rawr," Dante murmured, as if suspecting a cat fight to go on. You scowled towards him and looked back at the waitress.

"Shouldn't you be getting our food?" you snapped. Alice narrowed her eyes on you before popping the bubble she formed with her pink gum. She began walking away when you looked away from her and out the window. Dante was watching the whole time with pure amusement on his face.

"You are jealous," he stated matter-of-factly. You gritted your teeth together as he said this. I'm not jealous...I can't be jealous for some video game character...God damnit! Damn Dante and his hot damn, good looks. You bit your bottom lip, trying to avoid contact from his eyes. "Look, you don't have to be embarrassed about it, I actually think it's a turn on, really," he said, smirking at you. You felt your cheeks become hot and you abruptly stood up.

"I-I'm going to go to the washroom," you informed and walked away without a glance. You went in quick pace, practically running through the doors. To your luck the public washroom was unoccupied which gave you the time to think. You closed your eyes, taking in a large breath then blowing it out. You scratched the back of your neck. "Okay, relax, ___________, no need to get all edgy. Dante is just being Dante, and yes you have to a bit you are kinda jealous." You sighed and looked up at the mirror.

"He's lucky he has a fucking nice body to match that big ego of his," you said to yourself, laughing silently. You shook your head and went into one of the stalls to do your business. After you were finished, you came out to wash your hands and walked out the washroom doors. You made your way back to the booth you and Dante were at until you stopped to see Alice had occupied your empty seat. Both she and Dante were in a deep conversation, not taking notice to you.

You furrowed your brow and cleared your throat to interrupt. Dante was the one to look up at you first.

"Um, excuse me, you're in my seat," you stated in a rather bored tone as you cocked a brow at the waitress.

"Babe, just take a seat by me," Dante grinned, and patted the spot beside him. You smiled and walked towards him and took a seat. You acknowledged the plates of your food on the table.

"When did our food come?" you asked, pulling your plate in front of you.

"Right at the time you went to the washroom, I didn't want to eat until you came back," Dante said, placing his hand on your thigh.

"Oh," you replied, taking a fry and dipping it in some ketchup before throwing it in your mouth. Alice watched you with careful eyes but you simply ignored her and paid more attention to the fact Dante was now rubbing your thigh with his hand. You soon blushed but you tried your best to hide it. "What have you two been talking about?" you asked, breaking the uncomfortable silence that lingered in the air.

"Just getting to know each other," Alice stated with a smirk. You nodded slowly. "...I'm just wondering, but are you two a couple?" she suddenly asked, pointing at Dante and you.

"Well, actually..." you trailed off as you soon began to blush. You instantly grabbed your cheese burger and took a bite, away to hide your tad of embarrassment. Why does she want to know anyways? Either she's noisy or just wants to see if she has a chance with Dante...damn her.

"Just friends?" she asked, resting her chin on the palm of her hand.

"Something like that," Dante spoke up, throwing a fresh fry in his mouth. Something like that? Alice smiled towards him, narrowing her eyes in order to give him a playful look. You scowled to yourself as you picked up your glass of water and began to drink it.

"So, are you single?" she asked him. Immediately you spat out your drink in surprised as she asked this. Accidentally though you manage to spat the water on her. Dante bit his bottom lip in order to suppress from laughing. Alice had a look of horror and shock on her face. You tried your hardest not to laugh either.

"Heh, um, sorry?"
