Captured hearts

arriving at the restaurant

Stef's: POV
Lena and I arrived at the restaurant
The waiter showed us to our table
I pulled Lena's chair out for her
She took her seat. The waiter sits the menus on the table, l took my seat
Across from Lena. She's looking at the food selections, l put on my reading glasses. So I can see clearly. Lena how's your week been, Stef asks Lena
Overwhelming Lena says. What about you Stef how's things at the University
Lena states. It's midterms week
So I've been grading papers all week
I went out to lunch with jenna kelly's wife, well let's just say I had to put jenna in her place. Stef replies
I'm sorry to hear that Lena reaches her hand over the table to offer Stef
Some support by holding Stef's hand
I'm here if you want to talk about it
Lena said in the calmest tone, and takes her hand back. I have to keep that in mind, Stef replied. The waiter comes over to them and take their orders. Lena asks for a glass of white wine, can I have the lemon pepper chicken with the roasted potatoes and broccoli, She speaks with Elegance
Stef gets the same. The man writes down the order on a tablet, Lena hands him the menus. He leaves us
And to go put our food orders in
We talked about our favorite books
Lena laughed at my jokes, places we been. Our waitress brings over our drinks, Lena proposes a toaster to new friendships. And I agreed
Lena took a slip of her wine
Me and Lena spended the rest of the time. Getting to know each other
It felt like we have been friends for years, what l pick up from Lena
She's a easy person to talk to. Lena listened to everything I had to say
When the food was brought out to us
Lena said her grace over the meal
Lena has a gold cross she wears around her neck, she says it symbolizes her faith in God.
I never meet anybody who talked openly about there religion, she goes to church every Sunday. For the first time in my life, l'm actually having a good time with a beautiful and amazing woman. She revealed she loss her parents three years ago,
And she was an only child.
Her mother was black and her father white, l tell her about my mom
How me and mom have a strange relationship. How my dad never accepted l was a lesbian, when the check was brought over. I reached in my wallet to get my credit card out
Lena did you want dessert, before I pay the bill. No thanks. I'm good
Dinner was lovely l really enjoyed myself, this evening. Lena said
I had a good time to Stef Stated
Stef puts her card in the black leather folder.
