Somehow Love is Found (BWWM)

Chapter 33: A reunion I could've gone without.

We headed into a posh restaurant downtown.

The ambience was so different from the noise outside, it was if we were in two different spaces of time.

I headed over to the hostess.

"Good day, Ma'am," she said, "do you have a reservation?"

"Good day, yes, I do. Reservation for Hale."

She smiled.

"Of course, right this way Ma'am."

She led us to a table and we sat.

The waiter came and handed the menus to us. He kept looking at me, a soft smile on his face. He was cute.

I smiled back.

Mr Costas cleared his throat.

"Please do your job young man," he said.

"Right! Of course, sorry sir!" squeaked the waiter.

He walked away, giving us the chance to decide on our orders.

"Are you always this grumpy?" I asked.

He scoffed.

"I am not grumpy-"

"Says the guy who got mad at a waiter for smiling at me," I said.

This guy was very amusing.

"His job is to serve us, not ogle at you. You're too encouraging," he said.

I smiled.

"That may be true but at least I don't get whacked upside the head for being a blatant idiot."

He reddened and opened his mouth to say something when the waiter returned.

"I can't believe you ordered all that food for yourself," muttered Mr Costas.

I shrugged.

"What? I'm a hungry girl," I said.

"You can't possibly eat all of that," he said.

I laughed loudly.

"You have a lot to learn about me, Mr Costas."

In less than five minutes I was finished with one plate.

I was just about to head to the second plate when in walked a human I hoped to never see again.

Refael Koch.

He looked genuinely happy.

His hair was fixed neatly.

As usual.

He still looked good in a suit.

And in his arms was the girl that he dumped me for.

She was wearing a blue dress, her hair in an updo.
