Chapter Twelve

Somehow they managed to get out of the restaurant only fifteen minutes later. Jasmine couldn’t stand the scowling on Ernesto’s face any longer than that, so once they had four burritos, she gave him a hug and said she’d stop by to see him again soon. He switched to speaking Spanish to let her know that if John did anything to hurt her, his testicles were going to be on the menu. Jasmine wasn’t exactly sure how much his customers would appreciate that.

“So, I can’t say I’m totally fluent in Spanish, but I understood him calling you granddaughter and I believe my balls were threatened in some way,” John said as he opened the car door for her. With her hands full of about ten pounds of burritos, she needed the assist.

Jasmine kissed his cheek and laughed as she slid in the car. “It’s probably good you didn’t hear the rest of the line about what would happen to your testicles. You don’t have anything to worry about, so I won’t bother spelling it out for you. And technically, he isn’t my grandpa, but he did date Meemaw back in the day.”

The food was situated in her lap, so Jasmine pulled the door shut and waited for John to make his way to the other side. She’d hoped with the crowd that they’d be able to get in and out of the restaurant without making a big deal out of things, but she should’ve known better.

John was quick to join her in the car and start it, but he didn’t immediately pull out of the parking spot. The burritos weren’t going to stay warm forever, so Jasmine was impatient to get moving.

“I know her opinion of your boyfriends probably matters, but does his? Because clearly he didn’t think very highly of me.”

“And that matters to you?” She knew it did, otherwise he wouldn’t have asked. It was just weird to think John cared about what someone else thought when it came to what he wanted.

“I don’t know. Should it? I haven’t been introduced to someone’s family since I was a teenager, and I’m pretty sure I didn’t make a good impression then either.”

Jasmine imagined a dad waiting up with a shotgun for John to bring his daughter home. He had to have been a heartbreaker in high school, since it was pretty clear he was one as an adult. Although, the way his eyes were slightly narrowed as he looked for an answer to his question told her he was concerned.

“So you haven’t had a serious girlfriend for what, a decade?”

“Don’t you think you should answer my question before you move on to another one?” His right eyebrow lifted slightly as he asked. It wasn’t right that the look made Jasmine’s pulse tick up a notch.

“Don’t you think we should get back to your place before I break out one of these burritos and make a mess of your car? You saw them being made, so you know there’s no way they can be eaten without the filling dropping all over the place.
