~Chapter 9~

Rob's POV
We get to a booth that's in a back corner. "Your server's name is Lainey and she'll be with you in just a moment." The lady hands out our menus and walks away.

I notice that neither of us look at our menus. "So I'm guessing you know what you want then."

"Yes I do."

"Hello, my name is Lainey and I'll be your server for today. Would you guys like to order now, seeing that neither of you are looking at your menus."

"Okay!" Preston looks at Lainey and looks at me. "Want to go first?"

"Sure. I'll have a coffee and some pancakes please." I say.

"Okay, what kind of pancakes and side do you want."

"Plain, and I'll have toast."

"Okay..." She writes everything down and looks at Preston "You?"

"Yeah, I'd like a coffee as well, and I'll have a breakfast sandwich with egg, ham, and cheese, and a side of toast please." He tells Lainey and she writes everything down.

"I'll be right back with your beverages." She says and walks off.

After she left, we both talked on and on about our lives and what's happening and all that.

"Here is your coffee," Lainey puts my coffee down next to me. "And here's your coffee." She hands Preston his drink.

"Thank you." We both said in unison. She smiles and walks off.

After she left again, we picked up or conversation where we left it.

We chat until Lainey comes to refill our drinks, and of course, being the gentlemen we are, we say thank you, and when she goes, we continue our conversation.

After about 30 minutes of talking, our food finally comes. "Here are your pancakes," she hands me my pancakes, "And here is your sandwich." She hands Preston his sandwich. "Anything else?"

"No, we're fine. Thank you." Preston told the waiter and she walks away.

Then his focus is on me. "What?"

"Eat. I want to see your reaction to the food."

"Okay." I spread the butter and pour syrup on my pancakes. I cut up a small piece and I eat it. This food is really good.

"Well?"

"This food is amazing!" I say as I dig in on my pancakes.

"I told you!" He grins and I chuckle.

We both were silent as we ate. When we both were finished, Lainey came back. "How was your meal?"

"It was amazing." We say in unison.

"Good to hear! Here's your check when you're ready." She puts the check in the middle.

"Okay. Thank you." I told her and she goes away.

"I'm going to pay." I say grabbing the check.

"No, your the guest." He tries to get the check.

"But you welcomed me into your home." He paused for a few moments and I saw a little pink form on his cheeks.

"Alright. But I pay for dinner."

"Deal." I slip my credit card into the check and set it in the middle.

Lainey comes back and takes the check and goes to the register.

"Thank you Rob!" He smiles at me.

"You're welcome!" I return his smile.

Lainey sets down the check. "I hope you guys had a great time. Come back soon!"

"We will." We say in unison.

"Goodbye!" She says and walks to the back.

I sign the check and leave a tip. "You good?" I ask getting out of my seats

"Yup!" He says and gets out of his seat and walks with me out to the car.

We both continue the conversation on our way to Preston's home.

5 minutes later, we park, get out of the car, and walk inside. "Hey Rob?" 

"Yeah?"

"Want to do a recording later?"

"I'd love to!" I cheer.

"Okay! We'll do it after dinner?"

"Sounds great!" I say and we go our separate ways. I walk to my room, close the door, and check my emails, messages, texts, and that sort of thing.

After that, I grabbed my iPod, and turned on my sleeping playlist, and I closed my eyes.
