"So we're we going" I asked when he got in the car
"It's a surprise"
"You like saying that"
"Okay fine I'll tell you"
"Really"
"No of course not"
"Jerk" I slapped him arm playfully
After a 1 hour drive we reached, we were at a zoo?
"We're here" he said as he parked
"Wow this place is amazing"
"My dad used to bring me her when I was a kid, okay so let's go"
He paid the entry fee for both of us.
"I could have paid you know"
"I never let girls pay"
"Aww so cute look at this duck"
"Here put your hand like this and don't be scared it won't peak" he put some food that the zoo keeper gave to feed the animals
"Hahaha it's tickling me with its beak"
"Yeah haha you'll get used to it in time"
*We'll be coming again"
"Yeah I mean if it's okay with you"
"Yes yes yes let's come back on Friday I'm off"
"Sure why not"
"Thank you thank you thank you" I hugged him
"Okay now let's go and see the other animals"
We looked at all the animals and James told me all about the animals we saw lions, giraffes, elephants, monkeys, turtles, birds, rabbits, and so so much more.
"It's so beautiful here at night the lights, and the sounds of nature, this place is just so beautiful"
"Not as beautiful as you" he said and I blushed, we were both staring into each others eyes
"Umm, you must be starving, how about we go to the restaurant there's a small one in the zoo"
"Yeah I am starving"
"I told you let's have lunch earlier but no you wanted to stay with the turtles instead"
"They were so cute how could I leave them, imagine leaving those cute turtles just so I can have lunch? no way"
"Ooh, so you would rather starve then leave the turtles"
"Yep, oh I miss them already let's go to them I wonder how they'll look when they are asleep"
"They'll be in they shall and no we are going to the restaurant to eat" he picked me up bridle style
"Put me down, please"
"No only when we're there"
"Pleease"
"Nope"
"Pretty please with a cherry on top"
"Hmm, Nope"
I gave up, and he smiled and in no time we were there
"We're here"
We were almost by the entrance
"Umm, James, can you please put me down now everyone will look at us"
"Okay fine" he put me down slowly
"Omg this place is so beautiful woow" I said as we entered the restaurant, James just smiled
"Hello sir" the waitress said
"Hello"
You can have a seat over there she said pointing to the table for two in the middle of the room. We walked to our table and James pulled out my chair for me.
"Thank you" I said and he went to sit on the chair opposite mine 
"Here is our menu" she gave the menu to James and touched his hand and I felt like breaking her hand, I knew what she was trying to do
"Thank you"
"Would you like the dessert menu now or later"
"Later"
"I thought a sweet guy like you would like to start with a sweet dish"
"He said later" I said
"Oh I'm sorry I forgot about your sister, should I bring a menu for you"
"She's not my sister she's my friend"
"Sorry she looks like she's your sister"
"I'm his GIRLfriend and his my BOYfriend, um babe what would you like to eat" I was so jealous? what, why was I jealous and what did I just do
"Um I'm going to uh— I'll be back when you decide"
James was staring at me smiling almost laughing
"I'm so sorry" I said feeling so embarrassed I wish I could just sink into the floor right now
"Why babe, were you jealous"
"No of course I was not jealous, I'm really sorry"
"Na it's okay I would do the same, only you looked so cute jealous haha"
"Can we forget this ever happened"
"Never, so what are we ordering today babe"
"Ugh, how about you choose"
"Okay and you choose the dessert"
"Sure"
"Is roast chicken fine"
"Yeah"
"With salad and some chips, uh buns or rice"
"Is buns fine"
"Yeah anything"
"Okay buns"
"Okay and coke or—"
"Coke is fine" I cut him off
"Should I order now or wanna add something"
"I think it's more than enough"
"Waitress"
"Yes sir"
"I would like the meal for two, the roast chicken, with chips, salad and 2 large Coke's"
"Okay anything else"
"No that's all"
"Okay your order will be ready in 30 min, would you like your coke now or with the meal"
"Babe, now or with the meal"
"With the meal"
"Okay I'll bring your order in 30 min"
"Thank you" James said and she left
"So um tell me what you did yesterday" he said
"Oh yeah haha umm I went shopping with my besties Bella and Katie, Katie came with her boyfriend but he wasn't with us when we were shopping he was with his friend, so we shopped for 3hrs then we did our nails, hair and makeup and I told them about you then we had pizza and then I got home took a shower and message you, Yeah that's it"
"What did you tell about me"
"Just how we met, um—"
"Here is your order" she said and placed the tray with the roast on the table then brought the salad, chips, cokes and the plates........
"Thank you" James said
"You welcome, call me if you need anything" she left
We started eating
"The food here is amazing" I said
"Well it's one of my favourites"
"Now I know your favourite restaurant food, so tell me about when you first came to this place"
"Okay so it was 5 months after my mom gave birth to my sister my father brought me here and we were at this same restaurant and he told me I was now a big brother and I shouldn't be jealous of my sister he said he and my mom will always love us the same so ever since I saw this place I couldn't stop coming here I used to tell our driver to bring me because my dad was always at work and my mom was looking after my sister and I was 6 so I couldn't come alone so this place became my favourite place and the driver was my best friend but he retired when I was 13 but I was old enough to come on my own even though we had another driver I used to take a taxi so yeah that's it ooh and I brought a very special person here the first person who I brought because I wanted to not because I had to"
"Who"
"I'm looking at her"
I blushed
"So you have a sister"
"Yep and she wants to meet you"
"You told her about me"
"Yep"
"How old is she"
"She's 14"
"And do you have other siblings"
"Nope only her"
"No wonder you were jealous you were the only child"
"Yeah but I'm no more jealous"
"She must be so lucky to have you"
"What about you do you have any siblings"
"No I'm the only child"
"You must be spoiled"
"I am"
"Woow I'm full"
"Same" we were done with our meal
"Still have place for some dessert"
"Nope"
"Okay then I owe you, tomorrow after work"
"Sounds great"
"Okay lemme pay then we can go it's 7:36 this place will close just now at 10:00 and we have a 1 hour drive to get home"
"Okay"
James paid the bill and we walked to the car and again James opened the car door for me
"Thanks" I said wow I was tired as soon as James started the car I was fast asleep. 1 hour later we reached and I was still asleep James carried me out of the car
*Knock knock*
"Hello James" my mom said as she opened the door
"Hi ma'am"
"Um her room is the second one upstairs on your left"
"Thank you" he put me on my bed took out my shoes and covered me then went downstairs
"We went to the zoo and she got tired and fell asleep in the car"
"Okay thank you for bringing her home safely"
"You're welcome, sorry for bringing her this late"
"No it's okay, I hope you guys had a wonderful time"
"We sure did"
"I'm going to leave now, ma'am"
"Umm, please come over tomorrow and have lunch with Emma and me we'd love it if you join us, and please call Nancy"
"I would love to but isn't Emma working tomorrow"
"Ah no, her boss called me because he couldn't get through to her to tell her that the coffee shop isn't opening tomorrow"
"Okay then I'll be there"
"Lovely, good night James, see you tomorrow"
"Good night miss Nancy"
