The audience starts to clap and cheer like crazy when the show comes to an end as the actors bow in front of all of us. I have not felt this way for such a long time, the last musical we went to was, singing in the rain when I was eleven years old. It was the four of us, mum, dad, Dan and me. It's was great we had to drive to Hollywood and it was so much worth it I would pay again and again to see it. All the lights suddenly come on making me come back to reality, seeing hunter sat next to me rubbing his hands together as he does when he his excited. He must be thinking about the next surprise but to be truthful it will be hard to compete with the musical we just watched.

"I see you have enjoyed yourself," he finally says with the biggest smirk spread on his pretty face. He is right though. We get up from our seat as people want to pass by us to leave the theatre and we are blocking them as we are sitting in the middle of the row.  

We head out following the big crowd of people leading us to the exit doors. knowing that now Hunter and I are official doesn't change much because when we are alone we always hold hands and kiss. In front of the boys we have kissed like in Hunter's house but when we are around other people we have kept a good distance between us. Now we have been 2 months like this and I truly love him so what's the problem with showing the world my feelings towards him? I do feel bad for Hannah but she will just have to handle it.

Driving for forty minutes on the highway asking Hunter all kinds of questions to find out where he is taking me next. It's just gone 6 0'clock so I'm guessing he is taking me out to eat. We finally come across with a huge sign that says, Welcome to Los Angeles. 

"It's been a while since I've come around here, my family and I always used to come on the weekends. I think that LA is one of my favourite places to be. You have picked well my dear." I say smirking over at him and he takes his eyes off the road to look at me, his eyes are filled with pride in them knowing that so far it's going perfectly.

"I am taking you to Tinypalace." I turn my whole body to here the name of the most luxury restaurant in LA.

"You must be kidding me. I don't want you to spend that amount of crazy money on me for a dish, let's go to Tacobell."He laughs under his breath as he takes the exit on the highway entering LA. He reaches over and places his hand on my knee and adds,

"It's my treat babe." Every time I have come to LA we always drive past the fancy restaurant and it always catches my eye. Seeing wealthy people sipping on expensive wine and eating hundreds of worth of dollars meals doesn't suit my personality. I think with that amount of money you can buy more useful things than one plate of food that will be gone into your stomach. We finally arrive at the restaurant, we stop in front and two young men come to the car. One of the men walks over to my door as he opens it for me. I have never been treated like this by a stranger.

"Good evening madam." I give him a small smile thanking him. Hunter gives the other man the keys of the car. I look up at the tall building seeing people waiting outside all dressed up. Hunter walks up to me and puts his arm around my waist shifting me to walk. I stop sharply and turn to him,

"You should have told me to dress up. I'm wearing white Jeans and a tank top. Have you seen the women in there?" He laughs pushing me to walk up to the door.

"Don't worry about that." That's easy for him to say he is smart, he is wearing a white shirt revealing a bit of his chest with black suit pants. Another man opens the door greeting us. The room is so decorated it's like I always pictured, chandeliers, round tables covered with so much cutlery and the chairs are tall and white. There is a lady standing up talking to customers to give them their seat. We wait to be attended by the lady.

"Good evening, do you have a reservation?" She says, her hair is tied back into a top bun like a ballerina.

"I'm family Lockwood." I look over at him confused, who is family Lockwood? She smiles again and Hunter grabs my hand and says,

"Will it be possible a table for two outside on the deck?" I am totally paralyzed when the young lady says,

"Right this way." And leads the way. Walking around all of the tables seeing families and elderly couples eating makes me realise that I don't fit here at all. Just compare me with the way I'm dressed, Jeans. The room is quite dark so it's more intimate, the lights are put on low and there are candles set on each table join with a nice touch of flowers. After walking and seeing everyone eating and chatting we come with the big glass doors that reveal the huge big deck. It's nicer outside, to be honest, the tables are round as well with the same amount of cutlery and candles but the difference is that there are no chandeliers so it doesn't seem we are in a luxury restaurant so that comforts me. We sit down and I can't stop but notice the lovely view of the city, the sun is just going down and it gives the city a bust with the different colours of the sky.
