Yes

It has been a week since you first messaged him. You and Pedro have been messaging each other daily. Even though you have not seen each other since Disney, there is a connection between you both. Every time he texts you, you feel butterflies in your stomach. 
Teaching has been going well, and you are becoming more comfortable each day. It is Wednesday, which means you only have one class today, which is nice because you like to use the extra time to grade papers and do other things. 

You have your routine down to a T. 

Wake up at 6:30 am shower, get dressed, eat, grab a coffee and take an uber. You feel your phone buzz while you are in line to grab your coffee. 

Pedro: I will be in LA for a few days. 
He has been in London filming a movie, so texting is different, but yet he always says goodnight to you. 

Pedro: So, umm would you like to grab dinner Friday night?

Your eyes shot open. Did Pedro Pascal just ask you on a date? You text back immediately.

You: Yes, of course. 

Pedro: Chateau Marmont, I can pick you up around 7 pm. 

You: You don't have to pick me up lol.

Pedro: As a gentleman, I must. 

You: fine, what should I wear?

You google the restaurant while you are waiting for him to reply back. And wow it is fancy, way fancier then any other place you have been too. 

Pedro: A cocktail style dress. 

You have panic in your eyes.

"Y/N, large Iced vanilla coffee." The barista says. You walk over and grab your coffee and head out the door. Your Uber arrives at the perfect time. You hop into the car and continue texting. 

You: Well, Ummm I don't have one. 

You were embarrassed. 

Pedro: No problem, I can have someone pick something out. 

You: You don't have too, I can go shopping. 

Pedro: You sure?

You: Yes, you have already done more than enough.

Pedro: If you say so

You continue texting him throughout the day. Your day was pretty good so far, and the class went smoothly. You are excited about tonight. You have not seen him since Disney. You get home around 5 pm, which only gives you 2 hours to get ready before he arrives. On your way home from work, you stop at a department store and pick out a dress. It is a simple black dress, with smaller straps, it hugs your body nicely. 

You shower quickly. While you have your hair in a towel, you begin doing your makeup—just a simple smoky eye look. The time is now 6 pm, and you finished your make up, and now it is time for your hair. You go for a half-up, half-down look. You put your dress on and right as you are finished you hear a knock on your door. You go to open it. 

"Hello, wow you look beautiful," Pedro says. He has flowers in his hand and hands them to you.

"Thank you." You said, your face begins to turn red. "Come on in." He walks into your house, and you try to find a vase to put the flowers in. They are beautiful. 

"So, how have you been." You can tell he is nervous too.

"Oh, you know, work has been keeping me busy." You find a vase and fill it up with water. "How about you?"

"It is nice to have a break from work. It has been non-stop for about a year now." Your eyes widen. 

"Wow, I could never do that acting thing." You say with a laugh. "I shall stick to my teaching and writing."
