Epilogue 7

"Where are you taking us tonight?" Mitch asked as he was putting on his shoes.

"That's a surprise, Loves" Avi replied while he was checking his phone once more.

"Okay, mister secret" Mitch replied with a cocky smile on his face.

"Seriously though, Avi" Scott began. "Are you okay? You seem to be nervous and you're always looking at your phone..." He stepped up to the smaller man and put an arm around his torso, leaned in and kissed his cheek softly.

"I'm maybe a little bit nervous, but that's just because I want tonight to be perfect for us" Avi said sincerely. "And I'll put my phone away now, just had to check a few things..."

Scott sighed. "Avi, dearest..." he began. "Please don't be nervous. It's just us." 

Avi smiled up at him. "I know. But I want tonight to be special, so I had to organise a few things. It is all settled though, let's go. Our uber should be here any moment."

Mitch, who had just tied his shoes, stood up and joined his boyfriends. "Avi, tonight will be wonderful, don't worry too much." He softly kissed his lips. "Thank you for organising date night" he added.

"La Cucina?" Mitch asked when the car stopped in front of the restaurant and they were getting out. "What a throwback, we haven't been here in ages..."

"And what better way to celebrate our anniversary than to feed one another little tapas and drinking wonderful Spanish wine" Scott added as he closed the door of the car behind them.

"Mmhm" Avi hummed. 

"What is it?" Mitch asked. "That grin on your face?"

"Just you wait and see..." Avi opened the door of the restaurant. "Entrar, Cariños" he said. 

"Aaah" they were greeted almost immediately. "Señores Grassi, Hoying y Kaplan. Buenas noches. Come, I'll show you to the terrace."

Mitch and Scott just followed him as usual, but were taken aback when they weren't led to the big terrace at the front of the restaurant, but to the back. It was a smaller place, that would usually be for five tables, but that day, there was only one round table for three. Candlelight, soft music and a lot of flowers created a romantic atmosphere.

"Here you are, I hope everything is as you wanted it to be?" 

Avi smiled. "It's perfect, thank you very much." He looked at his boyfriends.

"It's... wow" Scott shook his head as they were sitting down at the table. "Thank you."

"Such a lovely surprise, Avi" Mitch added. "It's wonderful." He took his boyfriend's hand and squeezed it slightly.

"Very well" the waiter said. "Jorge, over here will be responsible just for you tonight, so if you have any wishes, let him know" he pointed to a young waiter who came outside with champagne and quickly filled their glasses. "Enjoy your stay" he added before he went back inside.

"I will leave you to it for a moment and then come back with some starters and the menu if it's fine with you?" Jorge offered.

"Sure, thank you very much" Avi replied and raised his glass while Jorge quickly made himself scarce.  "Well then, Loves. To us."

"To us, to you for this lovely surprise" Scott added.

"And to five years of being together with the loves of my life" Mitch stated.

"Cheers."

"So..." Scott began as they had taken a sip from their drinks. "A terrace just for us..."
