"Hi, Reservation for six in the name of... Celine Jayakody." Smiled a chirpy middle aged woman behind the counter. Salecia knew her name was Becca because of her name tag. "There was an issue with finding a table for six but I got you one table of four and one of two by the window." Becca said with an apologetic smile.
"Uh, Salecia and I can sit at the table by the window if you guys don't mind."
"No, no you guys go, the rest of us will sit at the four seater." Logan said.
"Are you guys sure?" Salecia said with a thankful smile.
"Yes, go have fun." Ashanti said as she shooed them to their seat.
Salecia and Christopher walked to the table.
"M'lady." Christopher said in a mock grand voice that made Salecia laugh as he pulled her chair out for her to sit.
"Thank you kind sir." Salecia said with her best curtsy before they bust burst out into laughter. People were staring, but neither of them cared.
"So what are you studying in Uni now?" Salecia asked after she swallowed her spaghetti.
"Uh, I'm studying to get my degree in Accounting and Finance."
"Ahh, a smart guy." Salecia said with a playful smile
"How about you? What degree are you studying to get?" Christopher asked, trying to hide the blush apparent in his cheeks.
"Bachelor of Creative Intelligence and Innovation." Salecia smiled proudly. "I have an internship at Sundley & Co."
"So you're into Journalism." Christopher said as he took a sip of his Champagne.
"Yeah, I want to be either a multimedia journalist or a photojournalist." Salecia said looking wistful.
"Maybe we can go to the city sometime and, you know, just take photos." Christopher smiled. "I mean like only if you want to." He rubbed the back of his neck.
"Yeah, I'd like that." Salecia smiled back.
Before Salecia and Christopher knew it minutes had turned into hours and they had finished all the courses for the night.
"No, I don't care what you say the fourth Transformers movie is the best one hands down." Salecia said with mock hurt.
"No way, the first one with Megan Fox is the best one." Christopher laughed.
BVVV
"Oh, sorry do you mind if I check." Salecia smiled apologetically.
"Yeah, sure, you're not on a date with the Prince of Wales." Christopher laughed.
When he said they were on a date, Salecia couldn't help but smile.

"This was fun, but we should better start going." Salecia said, trying to hide the disappointment in her voice.
"Um, before you go home can we stop at my house. Christopher said, rubbing the back of his neck." I have a surprise for you." He said blushing once again.
"Sure, no worries." Salecia said smiling.
