The couple at the food truck was Bella and Justin.
It was hard to imagine the billionaire president, proud and blue-blooded, slumming it at a food truck in the middle of the night to accompany his beloved woman. Despite his usual taste for finer things, Justin indulged in high carbs and greasy food, fed by Bella.
It was an amazing feat.
“Is it tasty?” Bella tenderly took a napkin to wipe the grease off Justin’s lips.
Justin saw his chance to peck her on the lips. “It’s good. Everything tastes delicious when I’m with you.”
Bella blushed. Even the old lady working in the food truck grinned.
The couple was perfect for each other.
The old lady was happy for them.
“Tsk. You only said that because I brought you here.”
Bella pouted. “Just be honest if you don’t like it. I don’t like it when you put up with it and indulge me. I won’t bring you here again.”
As his lashes fluttered, Justin reached past Bella and grabbed two bottles of seasoning on the left side of the table—black pepper and balsamic vinegar.
He then added a few dashes of the seasoning to Bella’s food before urging her tenderly. “Try it.”
She would enjoy eating at food trucks on occasion as a treat, but it used to be Justin’s reality when he was a kid.
“Back then, I would get really hungry after helping my mom out with the labor. My mom would take me to eat at food trucks.”
Twirling the plastic cup, Justin dwelled on the locked memory. “My mom would only order something for me to save money, but she made sure I had protein. She would add a few condiments and seasonings to the food so I wouldn’t get fed up with the same food. This is my favorite combination. The taste is addictive. I still enjoy my food with the same combination of seasoning, but I can never get back the taste I savored during my childhood.”
The air was filled with a heart-wrenching silence.
Justin snapped out of his memory and smiled apologetically. “I’m sorry, Bella. I didn’t mean to ruin your supper.”
Bella’s eyes welled up as she cupped his face and sealed his lips with a kiss.
