"it's just up here," you motioned to me as you opened the door to walk me into this cute little izakaya that just opened up a few months ago.

I walked in with you, my arm through yours as we stomped the snow off our feet as we head in and hung our coats and hats just on the wall near the entrance.

The atmosphere was warm and toasty. Perfect after the wonderful night (and first date) we were having thanks to the last minute tickets the a local performance of Rent I scored. So we were definitely in a really good mood and ready to eat.

The hostess quickly walked us through the crowded little intimate place and sat us just at the corner at the counter area so we could watch the chefs make our food.

"omg everything looks so good," I said as I squeezed your knee a few times and glanced a smile at you, happily ready to eat and keep your warmth near me more.

"I already know what I'm getting," you smiled as you placed your menu down and turned your body to face me, watching me lovingly as I tried to decide what I wanted.

"Yep I'll have the Chicken Shoyu Ramen and green tea and she'll have?" you said as you looked at me, "same," I replied as we handed the menus back to the hostess, rubbing my hands together fast to warm them up.

Just then you quickly put my hands in yours and starting rubbing them fast against mine, making me laugh as made funny faces as you did so.

"Soooooo...." I said, now leaning my head against my hand as my elbow rested on the bar.

"Sooooooo....." you said, smiling back at me.

"you're really cute..." I said softly and rolled my eyes a bit.

"you know you like it..." you replied, always confident.

"I do....," I said, unable to stop smiling so hard as I looked at you.

Just then the hostess squeezed her arm between us to set down our tea.

"Ohhhh thank god, im freezing still!" I remarked as I held the warm cup with both hands.

"hey...." you said to catch my attention as you ran your arm around my shoulders just then and move yourself so much closer to me....."I'll keep you warm, I promise," you said softly and gently.

I couldn't help but feel butterflies in my stomach. You looked so good tonight. Your blond hair falling perfectly just over to the side. Your eyes mesmorizing. Your lips soft and delicate. I left out a soft sigh as I looked at you and then looked up to watch the chefs as they danced around making our ramen in their bandanas.

Just then another couple got seated next to us and you immediately struck up a conversation with them. They were from out of town and seemed really nice. You, always the life of the party, had us all laughing and feeling good.

I loved watching you. I'm so quiet all the time but you compliment me really well. The way you move and go about living...it's intoxicating.

That's why when you asked me out at work for the millionth time, I finally said yes. I mean, I'm a professor and you're an adjunct. We're colleagues. But....somehow....I guess I just finally needed to see what you were like outside of academia. And I was so pleasantly surprised at just amazing you really were. 

God, I even spent a ridiculous amount of time getting ready for this date. I never make that effort for anyone. But I felt cute. My black wooly sweater and my black beanie complimented my tight dark jeans and my cute little snow boots. 

You noticed it instantly too and complimented how beautiful my skin looked against the colors of my outfit when I took my coat off at the theater.

I hadn't had a fun night out like this in such a long time. But I'm glad I came. And I'm really glad that it's you.

Just then as you broke from your conversation with the other couple for a moment I tugged a bit on your shirt.

"hey..." I said as I leaned in and slowly kissed you.

I think you were shocked I made the first move.

"What was that for?" you smirked and look at me intensely, content with how my lips tasted.

"because I wanted to," I said as I winked and moved back to take a sip from my tea and watch the chefs.

After we finished an amazing dinner you walked me home. I only lived just up the street in a tiny 1 bedroom. I never liked having too much space and always preferred cozy.

We stopped just at the front steps of my building.

"So..." I said, this time looking you over, my eyes suddenly gazing.

Wasting no time you pulled my waist to yours and kissed me deeply. I felt myself melt at your touch....at your kiss....

"wanna come upstairs?" I said softly when we finally came up for air.

You nodded as you leaned back in for another kiss.

As we walked up the stairs all I could think was how none of this felt weird or fast.

It was already feeling so right.....and the night was just getting started...
