THE ELITE TASTE

I read the name again to check I'm at the right location.

Checking twice I step inside the premise as the doorman opens the door. I smile at him and thanks him. The place is set up in a modern kind of way. Their décor is nice and perfect for photo-obsessed people. Soft and low sound of music gives the place a classy feel. The restaurant is sophisticated and elegant.

"Good afternoon, Emory. I'm glad you could make it" Bob, the manager greets me.

"Thanks for inviting me" I shake his hand.

Bob contacted me few days ago on my social media handle. Said he is a big fan of my vlogging and photography and asked me to review his restaurant. I told him that I'm not a professional but he was quite hooked to the idea and wanted just one post on the matter.

I don't often visit restaurants here because I always wanted to explore local food. People find good food and Bob finds customers. It was a win-win. So, we agreed on today and here I am.

"Please take a seat" he takes me to my table and pulls out my chair.

"Thank you" I smile sitting down.

"You take your time and check the menu. A waiter will be here shortly to take your order. And you can also take pictures for the post." He utters and leaves.

I open the menu card and see all the extravagant dishes. Since I'm really fascinated with the street food, eating fancy feels kind of boring. I'm not quite fond of it. I go for the basic dishes but they don't have anything. Exhaling a defeated breath I finally settle on Frittatas and Sushi rolls. I gave my order to the waiter and ask for a lemonade. I hope they don't experiment with that too.

Not want to waste my time here longer I take out my camera and start clicking pictures. It is different from other times. I don't feel happy about my clicks because I don't want to professionalize my skill. I do it because that's makes me happy. Not because I want to make money.

As I was busy clicking the photos I see someone in my peripheral vision. I turn around and see the man of my current dream walking inside. Holy shit! Dude looks smoking hot in his dark suit and styled hair. I was so lost on salivating over him that I didn't notice when a worker stopped him. The man didn't even say a word and let his eyes do the talking. The worker run away scared.

"Grumps!! Are you following me?" I beam jumping in front of him.

"I came here to eat" he replies curtly looking down at me. Jesus this man is tall.

"Me too. Come join me" I say expecting a no from him but he surprises me by sitting.

Get it together, me

I take my seat across him and study his profile. The top two buttons of his shirt are open revealing his golden skin. His pants are tailor made that shows his strong thighs. I swallow forcing my gaze to his face instead.
