We stop in front of the restaurant and just in time.
Elijah's hand is trailing a little too close to where I want it to go and the smirk on his face says he knows it too.
"Thank you, Logan." He says and opens the door and gets out. He closes it and walks around and opens the door on my side.
"My love?" He says as he holds out his hand for me. I take my purse and my phone and grab his hand, "Thank you, handsome." I say as I get out of the car with his help.
He closes the door behind me and we walk over to Logan at the front.
"I'll let you know when we're done. Don't go too far." He says and gives him a tip.
"Thanks, Mr Ayre. I'll be here when you need me to be." He says and Elijah nods, "Thanks, Logan. I appreciate it. Bye." He says to him. "Goodbye, sir." He says and starts the car and drives.
He grabs my hand and we walk in together.
We get stopped by the host.
"You two beautiful people have a reservation?" He asks us.
"Yes, under Ayre, for 7pm. A table for two." Elijah says.
"Oh, of course. Here it is. Let's take you two over to your table." He says as he grabs two menus and starts to walk further into the restaurant.
I start to follow with Elijah right behind me as we are still holding hands.
After a few moments of walking we come to a stop in front of a very intimate table for two. There's a half wall with some screen on top to cover the side of the table.
You can still see through the screen. It has a beautiful pattern on it, though.
"Here's your table. You may take a seat." He says and Elijah pulls out a chair for me before I can.
"Thank you." I say as I take a seat. He walks to his chair which is arms length away, not even.
He sits down and as he does, his leg grazed against mine.
"Hi, my name is Jack. I'll be your waiter for tonight." He says as he gives us both menus.
"Jack, can you please bring one of your finest bottles of champagne for us?" Elijah asks him.
"Oh! Celebrating are we?" He asks looking at us.
"Yes, in fact we are." Elijah tells him.
"I'll be right back with your champagne then, sir." Jack says and walks off.
"What are we celebrating?" I ask him.
"Our relationship of course, my love." Elijah says as he takes my hand.
"What about our relationship?" I ask him.
"I want you to be my girlfriend, Alana. We can talk to Simon right after your birthday party and tell him." He says to me.
"You're just assuming I would say yes?" I ask him.
He traces his other hand up my leg all the way, under my dress, to my inner thigh.
"Were you gonna say no?" He asks me.
"Is that really how you're asking me?" I ask him and as I do Jack comes back with our bottle of champagne and opens it in front of us.
"I got this Jack, thank you." Elijah says and takes the bottle from him.
"My pleasure, sir." He says, smiles and walks away.
Elijah fills up both our glasses.
"I wanted to ask you after dinner. Do you want me to ask you now?" He asks as he gives my glass to me.
