We stayed there posing more, like when I rested my head on his chest, when he pecked me on the lips, when he wrapped his arm fully around my waist and rested his chin on my shoulder.
"I'm tired" I said exhausted.
"What did you do?" He asked as we walked through a hall. I gave him a frown as he held my hand into his.
"I did more than you did" I replied.
"If you say so" He said, we somehow reached a restaurant at the end of the hall. It looked very fancy painted with white and pink. We walked to the counter as Antonio spoke to the lady there.
"Reservations for Mr & Mrs Edwards" He spoke. His surname was Edwards, am sure the lady would be thinking we were married couples. She gave a surprised face.
"Your married?" She asked.
"I will explain later" Antonio whispered with a wink to her, now am getting a little jealous. Why would he wink at her?
The lady looked at the computer probably searching for reservations until she looked up at us.
"Let me show you to your table" She said sweetly walking out of the counter as she directed us to a table it was the one in the middle. It was actually looking special than the other table, it was covered with a pink cloth, a flower vase was kept in the middle with flowers in it, they were menu list on two sides of the table and the beautiful pink chair complimented it more.
Antonio pulled out one of the chairs for me to sit as he pulled the other to sit on.
"You can go now" He said to the lady as she gave a disbelieved look and walked away.
I took the menu from the table about to read when he spoke.
"She's one of my mum's friend daughter" He said with a smirk, I pretended to not understand him giving him a confused look, he chuckled straight away.
"You looked kinda jealous when I was talking with her" He said matter of fact.
"That's a lie" I said looking else where.
"You know your the only woman in my life" He said placing his hand on top of mine. "And you will always will" I blushed shyly as he said the words.
"Can I get you lovers something to start with apart from the main dish?" I looked up and saw a waiter standing with a friendly look, He held a pen and a book.
Me and Antonio looked at the menu quickly.
"A bowl of ice-crean first" I said with joy as Antonio looked at me in disbelief.
"And you sir?" The waiter asked.
"A cup of wine" I gave him a frown as the waiter walked away.
"I told you not to take wine again it's not good for your health" I lectured him.
"You said I shouldn't take much, this is the first am taking this month" He replied.
"This month just started today" I said facts.
"It did?" He asked teasingly as he laughed a little.
"What's with you and ice-cream, haven't you had enough?" He asked.
"How did you find this place?" I asked changing the topic purposely.
He smiled widely.
"Your stubborn" He said pinching my cheek.
"I've come here once with my sister, She's the one who introduce me to this place" He said.
"Your order is here" The waiter interrupted. As another guy walked towards us, placing a bowl of ice cream with a spoon and giving a cup of wine in front of Antonio.
"Thanks" I said excited about to start licking, the ice-cream was the strawberry with vanilla which had sprinkles and cherries on it. Antonio own only had a block of ice [Sad]
"I will be back" The waiter said walking away with the other guy.
"You really planned today" I said happy.
"Just because of you" He said as I put one spoon of ice-crean in my mouth.
"Who gave you the idea of pink?" I asked suspicious.
He smiled before he answered."Sofia" He replied.
"She said your favorite colour was pink so I decided to use it"
"I love the dress and the shoe" I said to him.
"I love you more" He said taking a sip out of his wine.
I was rushing in the ice-cream in my mouth as I tried to hide my blush, and I felt Antonio gaze on me throughout but I didn't want to look. The ice cream was so nice and I loved it.
When I was finally done and I looked up Antonio was looking with disbelief, his wine was already half way.
"Wow" He exclaimed.
"I'm having brian freeze" I said looking sad as Antonio laughed.
"Why did you eat so much at a time?" He asked.
"It was too sweet for me to stop" I said holding my head half lying.
He still kept on laughing.
ANTONIO'S POV
I don't know whether to tell her right now, I mean I should right now before the main meal comes up.
"I don't know what I would be without you" I said trying to hide my nervousness.
She smiled. "Well am happy I met you in my life"
"Since the day I lay my eyes on you i've been mesmerized and since then I've been falling for you the more everyday" I said the truth, She'll kept on blushing as she bent her head a little.
I use the chance to get on my kneels immediately. Bringing the small pink box from my pockets, then she looked up shocked.
"What-" I interrupted her.
"I don't know how to express how much I love you with all of my heart" I said increasing my voice so that people could hear.
Her shocked face was immediately replaced with little tears dropping from her eyes.
"I just want to thank you so much for everything you've done for me, the happiness and change you've brought in my life. I've become a new being since you stepped into it and I can't imagine myself without you. Your the only girl who I know is different from everyone else because of your strong, beautiful, extremely honest and smart" I paused looking at her with love.
"I want to make our relationship official that's why am asking you to be my girlfriend" All my nervousness disappeared at that moment.
Happy New Month Family💖🥰. It's a great honour to enter this beautiful month with you guys am extremely happy🌈🙃.
