Isabella's POV

Today is Monday, and I'm at school, having lunch with my friends. When I heard a notification on my phone.
I open it and I see that it's from my mother.

'honey, me and your father arranged a blind date for you with a wonderful man. It's time for you to get a partner don't you think?
The meeting is at the Café near your school, it's convenient for you right? He said he can when your school ends so go right after, don't worry about your clothes. He doesn't mind! He also will be in his work clothes so don't feel embarrassed! We will wait for your opinion! Love you honey'

Seriously mom? Another blind date?
I've been to another two and they were a perv and an old man... I don't have high hopes...

The Café near my school? The Bella giornata? It's the nearest... I guess that's the one...

I don't really want to go, I'd rather go home and read one of my books... But I don't want to appear rude even if it ends up with me or him not liking it.

(School's Hours are over)

"Luckily the school's uniform isn't bad... For first impression tho.."

I leave the school and walk to the Café,mother didn't even tell me what that man looks like

I leave the school and walk to the Café,mother didn't even tell me what that man looks like... How do I find him...?
I enter the Café and the doors bell dings.
I look around, I see a few couples on some tables... And a man alone beside the windows. It must be him...? I mean he is alone.. And it's time for this 'blind date'

I walk up to him, he is wearing a black suit... How old is he...? He looks around 30? At least he isn't in his 40s right?

"Hello, are you here for the blind date?" i ask nicely.

The man turns and looks at me
"Yes, you must be ms Isabella?" the man stood up,he was tall, around 1.85cm?im 1.70cm so I think he is around there.

"Yes, that's me" i answer politely

"please, have a seat, you must be tired from school right?"
The man said.

I smile and take a seat in front of him
"not at all, it's not that tiring, and the café is near so there isn't a problem"

The man smiled "glad to hear that"

"if you don't mind me asking... What's your name sir? I wasn't informed"

"oh right, I'm Gabriel, Gabriel Roberts. It's nice meeting you Isabella"

I nod my head as the man introduced himself, Gabriel... He seems... Nice..

He was going to speak but the waiter came and interrupted him.
Gabriel ordered a coffee and I ordered a strawberry cake, I was hungry after school and it was one of the cheapest, I don't want to make him pay, and if he does at the end, I don't want him to pay something expensive because of me.
