When Lovers Meet

Chapter 3: First Date

We arrive at the restaurant, the valet opening the door for me. Thanking him, Dillan comes over handing him the keys.

"Ready?" He puts his arm out to me, and I nod taking a hold of it, and we walk on in.

Fine dining indeed, was the status of this restaurant. The luxurious interior screamed expensive, and the people inside spoke wealth.

I knew Dillan had money. His accountant job wasn't just any regular kind. He is the executive director of accounting at his job. Six figures was his yearly income.

"Hi good evening. Welcome to Francisco's Luxurious Dining. How can I help you?" The hostess spoke with a slight Italian accent.

"Hi reservation under Walker. Dillan Walker." She looks through the list.

"Oh yes Mr. Walker. Your table is ready, and awaits you. This is Gideon. He will be your waiter for tonight." We thank her, and follow after the young man.

A few people look our way as we pass, and normally I would feel shy, but with the handsome man next to me, I felt confident.

He leads us to a table for two, in a more private area of the restaurant.

Dillan pulling out my chair for me.
"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

"Can I start you both off with some water?" We both nod, and he walks off.

"It's beautiful." I comment, looking around in awe.

"Indeed." I blush, realizing that he was looking at me.

-

"What was your first impression upon seeing me?" I ask and he pauses eating looking to me.

"Wow. She's even more beautiful in person." I shyly smile.

"Really?"

"Hmm. You're a very beautiful woman Carlene."

"I know." I slyly say, and he chuckles.

"What about me?"

"You're very handsome Dillan. Maybe a little too much." He laughs.

"How can I be too handsome?" I deadpan him and he laughs more.

-

"You're sister is adorable."

"Oh please don't tell her that. Her ego is already so big." He laughs.

"What about her best friend, boyfriend? Are they still together? I know you told me they were having a moment last time."

"They made up a few days after, but now their not talking again." He nods in understanding.
"I want her to be happy you know. And with someone who doesn't continue to stray her along."

"You think she'll go back with him this time?"

"I don't think so. She seems really serious this time around." He nods.

"Are your parents okay with you not being home for Christmas?"

He nods.
"My mom only asks that I call on Christmas morning, and that she gets to tell you Merry Christmas." I giggle.
"She really likes you. She's also excited to meet you."

"Me too. Maybe I can be the one to visit next time." His lips spread into a smile.

"That would be nice. I can introduce  you to everyone. My little Dester is always asking when the Queen will make her appearance." Aww. Dester is the cutest little seven year old you'll ever meet. I remember when Dillan was at his younger brother's house, and he introduced me to his little nephew.
