My Captain

Part 29

We then arrived at a quite romantic spot, it was a tunnel that goes through the shark tank fully made out of glass. It was a really quiet day today in the aquarium, we were one of the few visitors in the aquarium. We stopped in the tunnel and went to sit on one of the benches. We both were silent for a moment, it was a comfortable silence. Lee broke this silence by saying something to me. Juul you are truly amazing, this is already one of the best dates I've ever been on, she said while smiling widely. Leah had put her head on my shoulder, and we sat there for about 15 minutes, just enjoying the moment.

( Time skip to when they are done visiting the aquarium)

Alright you have to trust me right now Lee, I'm going to take you somewhere. I walked with her to the restaurant that I found that was around the corner. Alright this is why you needed to dress fancy, I hope you like Italian. She smiled, and said I love Italian.

We were led to our table by the waiter. We then got the drinks that we ordered served to the table. I got an alcohol free beer and Leah got a glass of red wine. I ordered our food because Leah was a bit nervous. Hi can I please get a pizza salami picante with prosciutto, and the lovely lady would want spaghetti and can you ask the chef if he can put a bit of chorizo in the spaghetti. The waiter nods and then walks away. Leah was looking at me with a surprised look. What's up love, I asked. Nothing, I'm just surprised, because I didn't know you can speak Italian. I'm actually fluent in Dutch, English and Italian. That's really impressive, why did you want to learn Italian? I have 4 Italian friends who aren't very fluent in English, so I learned it so I can communicate easily with them. That's so sweet, have you seen them recently? Yeah last year they were in Rotterdam for the Eurovision Song Contest, and I went to Torino this year. That's so cool, I really want to visit Italy for a holiday. It's really beautiful, actually let me promise this, if one of us wins the euros we are going to Italy after the euros alright. Are you serious, now I'm going to encourage the team to give it their all. As if you weren't before I said this, I said laughing. But do I maybe know your friends? Possibly, they are quite popular at the moment, they are now touring with their band called Måneskin. Shut up, you're joking right? Nah I'm not, i said to leah and then showed her a couple photos of me and the band. That's amazing, I actually really enjoy their music, she said and I smiled. They are coming to one of my Euro games. I will see if I can maybe get you an extra backstage pass for their concert in Amsterdam next year. Thanks baby, that would be amazing.
