"Principal" Jay says smiling at me
We're sitting in a cosy Italian, I insisted on telling him over a glass of wine even though I couldn't contain my excitement.
He stands up goes to the bar and buys the most expensive champagne.
Returning he pops the cork and pours me some.
"You are incredible" he says genuinely.
I laugh.
"My partner is the principal dancer at a dance company." He smiles.
"Wow, amazing" he says again.
"Thanks it's pretty big" I say looking at him.
"So I have to rehearse quite a bit, in the studio. But because we're the principals we get to decide when." I say to him.
"Oh there's two" he asks.
"Yes" I hadn't quite thought through how to tell him this.
"There is always a female principal and a male principal. I was just auditioning but the choreographer felt female principal best suited me" I tell him.
"Because you're amazing Taylor" he smiles at me.
The waitress comes over ogles Jay and then sets her eyes on me and sighs.
"What can I get you" she asks Jay.
"Ladies first" Jay says and I smile at him
"Please may I have the arrabatia." I ask her once she finally looks back at me.
"Lasagne for me and can we have some olives and bread for the table please" he comments and she sidles off.
"I'm so excited to eat" I laugh. I love Italian food and it's my favourite, he knows that.
"Me too" he smiles at me.
"So how often are rehearsals" he asks me after a short pause.
"Four times a week, however we get to choose the days." I tell him.
"Jacob is the male principal and we have to organise the other dancers, and do a touch of staging and choreography" I tell him over enthusiastically.
"Maybe we can make eating out a thing, if you're rehearsing more I can come meet you afterwards and we can try out all of the restaurants" he smiles and I hook my leg around his under the table.
He's so utterly different now, everything is about us with him. He focuses solely on our relationship, and I've noticed.
"I'm so happy for you" he explains clasping my hands.
"Thankyou Jay" I tell him and he strokes my hands.
Our mains come and I can't help but to tuck into my food instantly he smiles and eats some olives first.
"So I've got the perfect thing for this occasion" he smiles at me. I look up from my food feeling like a child whose stuffing her face.
"We have our two week break this Friday and I've kind of got something booked for us, I can't tell you what yet but you will love it and we can truly celebrate" he says and a wide grin crosses my face.
"Oh tell me, tell me" I say.
"No" he smiles.
"It's special" he adds teasing me.
"I can't wait to see what it is" I tell him and his eyes glisten at me.
"Just before we go back, we're all going out by the way. It slipped my mind before. But we all booked for a play, I included you and you're sitting with me. Plus I kinda told Ross I'd go with him to get another tattoo, so think about what you want as I'm getting my nipples pierced" I say.
His eyes bulge.
"You are are you?" He teases.
"Hot" he stares at me.
"Is this the weekend before uni starts again?" He clarifies.
