As we stepped inside, I felt a warm gush of air hit my face. I smiled and looked over at Dan, admiring his black and white shirt and his newly straightened hair. He walked up to the counter
"Hi, I've reserved a table"
"What name is it under?" She asked as she smiled
"Howell"
"Okay, right this way sir" She led us over to a table by the back window. It had a beautiful view, but lets not get too into describing that.
"Any drinks for you sir?" A male waiter asked, looking towards Dan
"Erm, I'll have a red wine please"
"And for you sir?" He turned to me
"I'll have the same thank you"
"Sure, enjoy your night" He replied
"So" Dan said, looking at me "What've you been doing the last couple of days?"
"Er, nothing really, I helped my brother move into the attic but not much apart from that. Have you done anything?"
"I literally just stayed inside the house" He laughed
"I like the way you say literally" I replied, laughing and he laughed in reply

The waiter came back with our drinks and two menus. I had decided to get the 'Manzo al Coltello con Carciofi e Bottarga' but I had no idea how to pronounce that so when the waiter came back, I just pointed. I'm guessing Dan didn't know how to pronounce his dish either because he did the same.

My meal was amazing, but I was focusing more on Dan than I was the food. It had come to the end of the date and the bill had come, Dan and I both got our wallets out to pay.
"No, Phil, I'm not letting you pay" Dan said, pushing my hand away from the bill
"Dan, I'll pay, I don't mind" We went back and forth until we eventually decided to split the bill. It came to a total of £27 each but we both rounded up to £30 as a tip.

As we were walking out of the restaurant, Dan asked 'Did you get here by train again?"
"Yeah, I really need to get a car"
"Do you want a lift home?"
"Are you sure? I know its out of your way.." I replied
"Yeah, I'm sure" He laughed "I should just pick you up next time"
"You're so confident there's going to be a next time?" I laughed
"Well, I want there to be" He smiled, walking up to me and kissing me "Do you?"
"Yeah I guess" I said, smiling at him "Where did you park?"
"Just down this road" he pointed to the left of him

We were in the car, blasting Muse out of the radio when Dan turned it down and said "Do you want to come to mine, like now"
"Yeah, course" I replied, I smiled because I knew what he was implying
