Ace POV
I wake up a few days later to a text message from Marco, and I spend a few moments staring at it. I hadn't expected him to ask to meet again so soon, and the idea makes my heart beat faster and a grin cross my face.
{Sent from Marco at 7:32 am}
Hey, I know we were just hanging out a few days ago but I would like to ask you out on a second date. If you say yes, I will call the nearby restaurant Baratie and reserve us a table for the next possible day we can go.
I quickly called Sanji, hoping he wasn't busy at the moment. Thankfully he answers on the second ring.
"Sanji here." His voice reaches me through the phone, along with the sounds of chopping.
"Hey, I have a request, if it's possible for you to do it."
"Depends, I will do my best. What is it?"
"Marco wants to reserve a table at your father's restaurant. Do you think you can get us one for the weekend?" I hear Sanji laugh, the chopping pausing momentarily.
"Can I? That's a silly question, Ace. Of course, I can, so long as the restaurant is completely packed. Give me 5 minutes and I will call you back." Sanji hangs up before I can say anything else and I stand up to grab some food.
It is 6 minutes later when my phone rings, and I quickly pick it up.
"Hey."
"Luckily, there are a few open tables on Saturday. Do you have something to write this down on, so you don't forget?"
"Yeah, one second." Pulling open a nearby kitchen drawer I pull out the pen and notepad normally used for grocery lists. Turning to a blank page I click the pen to use it, "okay I am ready."
"Good, your reservation is for Saturday at 6 pm, at one of the private tables. The reservation is under the name Vinsmoke. Oh, and don't worry about the tab."
"Thanks, Sanji! Vinsmoke? What the heck is that?" I would argue about the money but figure it would be pointless, since he would just pay it anyways without me noticing.
"You're welcome. Anything for Luffy's big brother after all, and Vinesmoke is just a family name. The workers know not to question anything when it's used for a reservation."
"Okay. Well thanks again! I will let you get back to your cooking." I grin when Sanji simply hangs up the phone, and open the text from Marco again.
I just got us a reservation at Baratie for Saturday at 6 pm! The reservation is under Vinsmoke, don't be late ; )
