In my head

Chapter 15

Today is Friday and I got asked out, by Jake. He's taking me into the city for dinner. He's trying his best to make this work and if tonight works out then I'm going to forgive him, not fully, as he did cheat on me. But I miss him. I will be angry with him for a while until he does everything he can to make things better.

I decide to wear my black and white striped dress. It clings to my bum and is a bit flowy up the top back. I pull my high top converse over my feet. While spraying some perfume my phone goes off.

Jake: Be there in 10

I don't bother replying. I grab my phone and walk up the stairs. I didn't bother doing anything with my hair I just took it out of its braid. Once I'm upstairs there's a knock on the door. I open the door to a very handsome looking Jake, wearing a blue button up shirt, with his signature skinny black jeans. I walk outside and lock the door behind me.

"You look gorgeous" Jake says, as were making our way to the taxi waiting at the top of my driveway. I blush at his comment and mumble a thank you.

All of a sudden I feel shy. I don't know why, I mean Jake basically knows everything about me.

The journey to the city is quiet. I wanna say something but I have nothing to say.

We pull up in front of a fancy restaurant which looks like it costs a fortune. We walk in and my mouth is on the floor. The walls are cream coloured, with big artworks hanging on them. The artwork is full of colour.

There are tables with couples and families sitting at them. the restaurant is filled with chatter. Jake and I are guided to a table at the back. The table is set with a white table cloth and a vase with a single pink lily. Lilies are my favourite flower. I noticed that this is the only table with a flower.

"Did you do this?" I ask, looking into Jakes eyes. "You chose the flower?"

"I may have" he smirks while looking down at his menu. A small smile plays at my mouth. I look down and start reading my menu and my eyes nearly pop out of my head.

"Everything is so expensive!" I look at him wide eyed.

"Choose anything" Jake says, whilst still looking at the menu.

We ordered our food. For entrée we ordered garlic bread to share. For main I got a roasted duck with raspberry glaze with shoe string fries on the side, and Jake got a chicken cordon bleu, whatever that is, with a side of salad. We made small talk while waiting for our food. The garlic bread melted in your mouth, I hummed in satisfaction. Main came out not long after. The duck was to die for. I've always been a fan for duck and whenever its on the menu that's what I will order.

"Hey, hands off" I say to Jake as he steals a few of my fries. Dinner was amazing but apparently it wasn't over yet. Dessert was next and I don't think I can shove anything else in my mouth.

The waitress came over with the dessert menu. Looking through everything sounded amazing, and then I saw chocolate lava cake, there is no way I can say no to that.

"I would like the chocolate lava cake, please" I say to the waitress. "Make that one to share please" Jake adds in.

We wait for the lava cake to arrive in silence. I don't know what to say. I'm kind of disappointed I wanted the cake to myself. It's a bit awkward to share, I think. Especially when we aren't in a relationship.

The cake comes, I take a mouthful as soon as I am given a spoon. I don't care what I look like I just keep shovelling the cake into my mouth. It is delicious. Dinner is finally over and we start walking back to wear Jake's mum is picking us up. Jake grabs my hand and I entwine my fingers with his.
