Chapter 33

"So, I'm taking you out to dinner tonight. Apparently this restaurant is one of the highest rated places in Paris"

"I'm so excited!" I squealed. I was a big foodie, and Tom knew that. We'd spent many nights in each other kitchens cooking and experimenting with food.

A dining experience at a highly rated french restaurant was sure to be incredible.

"You look so beautiful tonight" He spoke, rubbing small circles against my hand with his thumb.

"Thank you, you're looking very handsome you know?" I said with a flirty smile. Tom had a big grin on his face.

"Oh really?" He asked fixing his jacket.

"Absolutely" I said, staring in to those gorgeous brown eyes.

The car slowed and we pulled up to the curb. Tom hopped out of the car quickly and came around to my side opening the door.

I thanked Théo before leaving the beautiful car. I placed my hand in Toms outstretched one as he helped me up. My feet landed lightly on the pavement and I turned to see the incredible outside architecture of the restaurant.

Tom took my hand and curled it around his forearm as we approached the double glass doors. A young man dressed in a uniform opened the door for us, greeting us in french.

Just inside the doors was a small but tall table with a woman standing behind it. She had a black pixie cut and framed her soft facial features.

"Bonsoir Madame et Monsieur" She greeted us.

"Bonsoir, nous avons une réservation pour la Hollande"
Tom spoke easily, letting her know we had a reservation under his name.

"Suive moi š'il vous plaît" She spoke and directed us to a table.

The inside of the restaurant was divine. The tables were all circular and topped with a white cloth that had grey trimming. The seats looked very soft and comfortable.

Stunning chandeliers hung from all different spaces on the roof casting a gorgeous glow over the restaurant. The light reflecting off the jewels made it look like small shadows were dancing along the tables and walls.

There was incredible gold filagree trimming along the joins between wall and roof. In the centre of the restaurants roof was a gorgeous, classic print made up of pale red roses and chubby cherubs. The same gold trimming was around the oval shaped print.

"Wow" I whispered, my mouth hung open like a fish and I snapped it shut quickly when I realised. This place seemed to fancy and posh, I didn't want to come across as a bit of a bogan.

In my amazement of taking in my surroundings we had reached our table.

"Tom this place is incredible" I said as he pulled my seat out for me.

"I know right, it's stunning"

"It must be so expensive" I said suddenly, imagining how sky high the prices were going to be.

"You don't have to worry about that okay, please" He said unbuttoning his suit jacket and taking a seat opposite me.

"Tonight is my treat, we can get anything you like" He said with a big smile. Before long a waiter appeared at our table and we ordered some champagne.

The waiter came back a few minutes later with some flutes and the botte of champagne. He poured us both a glass and added the bottle to the ice bucket stand at our table.

"Here are your menus, take some time to decide and I will be with you again soon" He spoke and nodded to us before leaving the table.

"All of this looks amazing" I said reading over the menu.
