* Lia's POV *

"So, what did you ask Bruno?" Carter asked, curiously with a smirk.

"Well, you know how he said all those sweet things about us? Well, I teased him and asked him if you had payed him to say them. That was really sweet of him to say though." I explained, while thinking.

"Hey Mrs. Reynolds?" Carter teased.

"Yes, Mr. Reynolds?" I said, playfully.

"Well, I really like hanging out with you. I had an amazing time tonight. And in all honesty, I really like you and I wanted to know if... If you'd like to be my girlfriend? You don't have to answer right now. You can take your time to decide." Carter asked with a smile.

"Carter, there's nothing for me to think about." I said looking down at my lap.

His smile faded away, he looked down a little sad and said "Oh.."

I got up from my chair and walked over to him.

"Of course I'll be your girlfriend, Carter!" I accepted excitedly.

"Lia!! Oh my God! I'm literally the happiest guy on this planet! I promise you, I'll never hurt you. I'll treat you like a fucking princess!" He basically screamed.

"I know you're not going to hurt me. I trust you Carter." I said as I held his hand.

"I'm so freaking lucky to call you mine, babe!" He said, then leaned in and kissed me.

It was as if the world suddenly stopped in place and everything was perfect.

We heard clapping. We looked around and saw Bruno and a couple other waiters.

"That was the cutest thing I've seen in my life." Bruno smiled.

"Thank you Bruno." Carter blushed as he hugged me, I simply smiled.

He handed us the bill, it said "$23.86". Carter took out $50 and handed it to Bruno.

"I'll be right back with the change." Bruno left with a huge smile on his face.

You can tell he was really happy for us. I was too, I was speechless! Today has been the best day of my life!

"So, where to now?" Carter asked happily.

"Well I'm stuffed, so nowhere with food. Let's go for a walk?" I giggled.

"Yeah me too, the food was delicious but I'm full. A walk sounds perfect, where though?" Carter asked, once again.

"Here's your change Mr. Reynolds." Bruno said, handing Carter the receipt and change.

"Keep the change, that's your tip." Carter grinned.

"But Mr. Reynolds. You're tipping me more than you payed for your food! Are you sure?" Bruno asked surprised.

"Yes I'm 100% sure. You deserve it. You were a great waiter." Carter reassured.

"Wow! Thank you Mr. Reynolds! Have a wonderful night." Bruno smiled.

"Thanks Bruno." We both said and walked out the restaurant.

We got in his car and drove to the mall. Once we got there we went inside and walked around.

We held hands, and out of nowhere he just stopped walking and started kissing me. I went along with it. It felt magical.

"Lia!? Is that you?" Called out the oh, too familiar voice..
