"It actually wasn't as bad as I thought it would be!" I tell Rain on the drive to lunch.
He chuckles softly, raising 1 eyebrow at me before glancing back at the road. "You sound surprised."
I laugh lightheartedly. "Because... I am... But anyways, it was actually ok... Cato was nice... I was afraid they were going to judge me, but they were so understanding... Listened to all my problems... I only had time to go into my mom's death & how I feel about that... But I guess there'll be time for more later..."
He smiles brightly. "Oh, really? You want to go again?"
I smile shyly, looking out the window. "Yeah... they were really nice..."
His eyes brighten. "That's great! I can make 1 for... in 2 weeks after we get home... or in a month... whatever you're feeling..."
I think for a moment, staring out the window as the cars & trees pass by. "Mmm... 2 weeks? I think a month might be too long..."
He nods slowly. "Ok! That works with me too! I... think... I do better at this type of thing when... you go with me..." He blushes & I smile softly.
"That's great to hear. I'm glad to hear that... I help you in some way..."
He smiles slowly. "You do a lot for me... More than you can know... Thank you..."
I smile shyly, blushing some in this tender moment. "No problem... Anything for my boyfriend..."
. . .
We make it to the restaurant shortly after. I wasn't expecting a whole lot, but we end up going to Olive Garden...I smile nervously as we head toward the door. "You... really didn't have to do this much... isn't this expensive?"
He smiles understandingly. "Don't worry, I got us a private section, so we won't have to be around other people... & besides, I know how much you love their soup & salad..."
I grin crookedly, laughing lightly. "Well I do love bread..."
. . .
It ends up being a lovely afternoon, despite my initial presumptions. We have our own private curtained booth away from any other booth, which is great. I like fancy restaurants, but I hate feeling like people are staring at you the whole time... Especially since me & Rain are both guys...
But Rain took that into account (bless my amazing boyfriend) & we had a great time. I ate a lot of soup & bread. But didn't eat too much bread because Rain said I had to have actual dinner too. Bread isn't a meal & just filling up on bread isn't healthy... & the soup has vegetables & things... I mean, it's delicious so I don't mind, really... It's great that Rain cares so much for me.
Sometimes I forget that people care about me... That probably seems weird to say, but it happens... For so long, I've thought that I was nothing special... Average at best... But Rain sees me as amazing &... I can't help... feeling that... maybe I could be, with him...
Hope you guys liked this chapter :). Sorry my date restaurant ideas aren't very original :'D. I'm not very good at that aspect (especially since I've never personally gone on dates :/)...
Welp, anyways, I'll see ya guys later, whenever I update :'D
Bye! :D
