Romanogers - What if... nat returned from the dead?

34 - THE DATE part 2

They ran through the empty streets

S: where are we going Nat?

N: we are almost there, you'll see

And then he saw, and it was beautiful

They were in a square filled with little lights and small tables scattered

There was an older man cooking something and two couples sitting on tables

She went over to the guy cooking

N: Mr. Tribiell!! How are you!

T: Naaat! You came!! Oh!!! And I see you brought a friend- he said smiling

N: Yes I did. Steve, this is Mr. Tribiell, Mr. Tribiell, this is Steve

S: Nice to meet you Sir

T: Oh no need for formalities! Call me Benjamin, or ben! So Natalie my girl, what can I get you two?

N: Uhm... What is today's special?

T: Today I'm making gourmet pizzas, but if your friend wants anything different it would be my pleasur-

N: Pizza sounds perfect!

T: Go sit, I'll take it to you when its ready

They sat down on a table. It felt like they went to another dimension, you could barely hear anything, maybe a few whispers from people talking in the distance, but no cars or paparazzi.

N: Benjamin is the sweetest man. I come here every now and then to eat, his food is marvelous. But he would always tell me to come to Friday nights, which is the night he makes these festivals, and to bring a "friend". No one discovered this place yet, so its always so calm and peaceful. Do you like it?

S: Its perfect

Soon the food came, and Nat was right, it was delicious. They talked and laughed. Steve had just said something dorky, and Nat was laughing. They look into each other eyes and smile, feeling at home.

T: Sorry to bother this lovely couple, but now that everyone else left, I was thinking of closing the tent. In the meantime, what about some music?

S: Sounds perfect, thank you so much

They get up and go to the middle of the square. Nat whispers something to Benjamin, who smiles and put's a song to play

The song they never got to dance together... Steve smiled, remembering that day, it sounded so long ago

S: May I have this dance ma'am?

N: It would be my pleasure Soldier – she replied smiling, and they began to dance

Steve never thought he was good at it, dancing I mean, he was Always so awkward, but with Nat, it just flowed.

They danced and danced their worries away. She let go of his hand, putting both in his neck, and he immediately went to her waist. She placed her head in his chest and swore that she could stay like that forever.
