We ended up at the restaurant about 45 minutes later. On the way over  here we had just laughed, talked about our day, joked and occasionally stole a couple of flirty glances at each other. I felt like a teenager again. All nervous going on a first date.

Chris found a parking and got off the car so he could open the door for me and help me out. I smile at him and we walk towards the restaurant.

"Reservations for Chris, 2"

"Right this way, sir." she tells us and we follow.

We walked out and it was beautiful. The sun was setting and with the waves crashing it was the perfect view. The tables were lit with candles and it was so romantic. She had set our menus down and left us.
I was about to sit down when Chris grabbed my chair out for me and motioned for me to sit down.

Couldn't really find a picture that I imagined but you get the idea. Just pretend it looks more romantic.

"What a gentleman

"What a gentleman." I smile at him.
"I try." he smiles back

"Wow this is beautiful, but you didn't have to do all this."
" I know but, I wanted to"
"I wanted this to be a good first date." he smiles and looks down at the menu.
"Well I guess we'll just have to wait and see Evans." I smirk at him and he chuckles.

"..."
I really don't want this date to be awkward and I don't think he does either. So I start a conversation.

"So have you been here before?" I question while scanning the menu and looking at his beautiful blue eyes.
"I actually haven't but I heard about it through my friend and always wanted to take a beautiful girl here so..." he smirks and looks at me.

Oh god I feel the heat rushing to my cheeks. Damn he's smooth. I probably look like a fucking tomato. Calm down y/n. relax.

"Glad I get to be that beautiful girl" I blush.

"What you thinking about getting?" he questions trying to shift the subject.

"I actually am not a big fan of fish but I do love steak so I think i'm just gonna get the steak and broccoli." I explain. He chuckles.

"What?" I smile but am freaking out on the inside.

"Every single time I have taken a girl out on a date they would always order a salad. Every single time. They were all the same."
"Well i'm not the same" I say with a newfound confidence and wink at him playfully. (was gonna put "i'm not like the other girls" LMAO but...cringe)
We both laugh.
"I'll keep that in mind."

Then the waitress came to our table and took our food and drink order.

I got a margarita and he got a beer.

She came back with our drinks and walked away.

We had already started talking about where we are from and I told him I was from Los Banos and he gave me a confused face.

"Los Banos?" he questions.
"Yeah nobody has ever heard of it and I get the same reaction every time. It's here in California but it's very small and in the central valley." I explain
"You're just gonna have to show me one day."
I blush.
"Maybe..."
"What about you Evans, where is Captain America himself from?" I chuckle.
"Ah i'm from Boston."
"Ohhh a Bostonian."
"living and breathing."
" I have always wanted to go there but I never got the chance."
"How about you and me, we make a deal." he proposes.
"I'm listening."
"You take me to your little farm town and I take you to Boston one day." he says and I nod.
"Great. Now to just seal the deal" he says and sticks his pinky out.
"Oh my god, you are such a dork" I laugh but I give him my picky and we lock them.
"Promise" we both say in unison and smile.
"So how did you end up here?" he asks and I explain and from there we talk about our lives trying to get to know each other more.

AFTER THEY ATE

"Seriously! you were caught skinny dipping at the school pool in high school!" he grabs his left boob laughing.
"yes! and this guy who was my boyfriend at the time left me there and let me get caught. Ugh it was so embarrassing. I saw the asshole the next day and just let him have it. I was so mad."
He continued to laugh and I was laughing along with him.
"How about you any embarrassing high school stories?"
"Ahh well there was this one time where I was dumped at the prom." he chuckles.
"No!" I say shocked. And he nodded "Somebody dumped you at the prom!? how embarrassing" I joke
" I know. But now I look back and laugh. And i'm glad she did because who knows if she didn't maybe I wouldn't be right here with you" he smiles and grabs my hand.
I blush and let him take it as we stare into each other's eyes.
We were interrupted by the waitress setting down the bill breaking our trance and Chris thanked her.

I begin to reach for my wallet when I see Chris already got his card and placed it into the little book.
"Chris you don't have to pay for-" he interrupts
"I want to." is all he says and he calls the waitress over to take it.
"Fine but next time I will." I tell him.
"Okay" he smirks. We get up and walk out of the restaurant. It was 9:30 and I was not ready to leave this date. It has been perfect. Then I get an idea.

"Chris!" I say and he jumps.
"Whoa whoa what's wrong?" he says concerned.
"sorry it's just I have an idea." I say and he calms down.
"Let's go walk on the beach"
"Are you sure I don't want you to ruin your clothes"
"Ahh don't worry I can always get new clothes. C'mon!" I drag him to the beach and he's laughing.
We reach the beach and we both take off our shoes and we walk towards the ocean.

As we are walking I feel a hand slip into mine and look at Chris and we smile at each other. This moment felt right. His hand in mine. Us walking side by side with the waves crashing. I wish we could stay in this moment forever. As we were laughing and talking about his dog Dodger he had stopped me suddenly and took hold of both of my hands.

"What's wrong?" I say concerned looking at him.
"Nothing it's just I love this. I know we barely met but I just feel this connection with you. This feels right. But I don't know what it means yet and I don't know if you feel the same way but..." he explains and he slowly leans in. I start to lean in also and the distance between us was closed. It was slow and passionate.

I could literally feel sparks flying. Which I know sounds cliche but I mean it. This kiss had so much meaning to it. I loved the way his beard felt against my mouth when he kissed me. After some time we had pulled away and looked at each other. I can tell he felt the same way I did. We both lightly panted and just looked into each other's eyes.
"I think that answers your question." I bite my lip and smile.
