Dirty Little Secret

fourteen

After buying lunch, I went to the park and ate my sub sandwich there. Contemplating about the whole Carter dilemma. I realize, he's not that worried about Julia finding out about us but more of everyone or anyone for that matter, to find out that he's gay. He's that ashamed of himself. Just the thought of someone else knowing his true self scares him; I honestly feel bad for him. After my savory lunch, I went back to the apartment to catch some more sleep before Lance texted me to meet up with him at this posh new restaurant in the middle of the town.

"Hello, reservations for Mr. Cambridge?" I ask the lady in the front desk.

"Just a sec." She tells me with a smile as she checks on her list of reservations, I take my time to admire the whole place. I do know that this place just opened up a week ago, it looks really fancy and expensive and I thank my guardian angels for telling me to wear something fancy tonight. "Right this way sir, follow me." The lady says as she ushers me inside, through the curtains that led to the real place which was even better looking than the first part.

She leads me to a table at the middle, I see that I am the only person in the whole place and I find it a bit sketchy honestly. She offers me a seat and leaves me to myself.

"Mr. Cambridge says he'll be here shortly." She says just before leaving, I thank her and observe the place. The interior designer really had a knack for something minimal.

A familiar voice sounds behind me and breaks me from my observation.

"Like the place?" Lance asked, amusement in his voice. I turn around and see him, looking all fancy and his hair is looking really kempt and he looks drop dead gorgeous.

"Love it." I tell him as he reaches the table and sits across me.

"I knew you would." He says while smirking, I scoff at him.

"You know everything." I say while rolling my eyes jokingly. He chuckles at me.

"Looks like we're the only people here though." I say while raising my brow.

"Yeah, rented out the whole place for tonight." He says with a shrug and I swear if I was drinking something, I would have spat it out.

"What?!"  I exclaim. He just sits back and beams at me.

"Yeah. I wanted it to be a whole new experience." He says with a wink, I find myself chuckling. This guy is just so full of surprises.

"You never fail to surprise me Lance. But thank you so much." I sincerely tell him as I gently caress the hand he has on the table. He returns the smile.

"Anything for you, you know that." He softly says and my heart does its favorite exercise, where it somersaults then beats furiously. Yay.

Lance takes the liberty of ordering for the both of us and not so long after, dinner is served. And let me tell you, this restaurant doesn't only look beautiful, their dishes are to die for too. Lance has been bragging this whole time that he knows what I like and I just reply with a snort or a scoff. Wouldn't want to inflate his ego. He ordered dessert shortly after our meal and now we're currently waiting for it.
