I smiled as I pulled my car up in front of the little house, the streets empty but a few abandoned cars, weeds poking through the path and porches last painted twenty years ago. The little house was tattered and broken as the landlord refused to upkeep it mostly because the occupants weren't great with paying rent. The light outside the front door broken the glass smashed with the bulb exposed in a few spots but still on cascading orange light on the front porch, sat on the small wooden steps was a very excited Samuel. In his usual half tattered knock off Nike's from the market in town, light blue jeans white and ripped in the knees a couple of the rips having been sewn up, a loose basic white t-shirt with a red and green plaid button down without any buttons done up.

The moment he saw My car he jumped from the steps like a child having spotted the ice cream truck and he bolted over excitedly opening the door and climbing into my passenger seat

"Hi"

"Hi" I smiled leaning over a little to give his lips a sweet kiss which he happily returned kissing me back slowly and softly our kisses turning into a gentle snog after a while till I pulled back "ready to go?"

"Absolutely!" He smiled putting his seatbelt on "where are we going?" He asked

"I have a plan for tonights date night" I smiled as I headed off driving out of this side of town and spotting the neon drive through sign "first things first, chocolate milkshake or hot chocolate?"

"Really!"

"Yep."

"I don't have any money with me"

"You let me worry about it" I smiled tapping his thigh

"Hot chocolate please," he blushed

So I pulled in and up to the speaker "hi, could I get two hot chocolates, two plain ice cream cups, three large fries, a extra large nuggets, two large chicken burgers, two large hamburgers and throw in those little corndog nuggets"

"Please proceed to the second window..."

"You hungry honey?"

"Yes I am starving" I laughed as I moved my car "but when did you last eat something?"

"I'm okay"

"Sammy,"

"I had some sunny side up eggs this morning... well I cooked them I only ate half of one because the eggs were infact gone off. I suspected they may have been but they where a dollar I couldn't say no to one dollar eggs"

"I really worry about you in that house" I laughed paying for our food and moving to the next window it took a couple of minutes given it was a big order but soon enough everything was passed thought and we pulled into a space to get sorted eating a bunch of our food it was cute watching Sammy try and be slow with his food but give he was so hungry most of it was gone in about five minutes leaving us with mostly snacking stuff and of course our hot chocolate which we both took out ice cream and added to the hot chocolate to make it nice and creamy

"So? What's the plan now?" He asks "or is it just food time?"

"We are gonna go an drive around the Rich fancy people neighborhoods and see all there pretty Christmas lights while we have our hot chocolate"

"Awww that's cute. Can we go past the house that has the huge dinosaur wearing a scarf and Santa hat?"

"Of course we will" I smiled giving him a kiss

"I love you"

"Love you too" I smiled stealing a nugget from him
