10. First Date II

I'm so into you, I can barely breathe

and all I wanna do is to fall in deep

but close ain't close enough 'till we cross the line

so name a game to play, and I'll roll the dice

As we walk into the colorful restaurant, my hand in his, I can't help but look all around. There were so many colors. Every color of the damn rainbow and many other variations of those. 

I loved it.

"Hi! Welcome to Jonny's Play House. Are you guys dining in or taking out?" The hostess asks with a huge grin on her face.

"Dining in. Table for two please." The river speaks up with a smile.

"Can we sit at one of your booths, please," I ask as my eyes scan over to the left half of the restaurant.

"Of course! Please follow me and I'll get you guys settled."

River drops my hand from his grasp as he pushes me forward with his hand, allowing me to go ahead of him.

"Here you guys go. A waiter will be with you shortly. Enjoy."

River and I both say thank you as she leaves and sits on opposite sides of the booth.

"You don't have your glasses on today."

"Aren't you observant?" I laugh.

He grins, "Only with you."

"I look better without them anyway." I lay my arms on the table and grab one of the menus the hostess set for us.

"Mmm. I think you look beautiful either way." River takes my hand and kisses my knuckles, his eyes stay trained on mine.

"You think so?"

"Mhm." he hums as he sets my hand back down on the table as the waiter walks up to our table.

"Hey, I'm Javier and I'll be your waiter for tonight. Can I get you guys started with some drinks?"

"Dr. Pepper for me."

I stare at River for a second before looking up at the waiter. "Sweet Tea please."

The waiter seemed a bit stunned, confusing me as he stumbled over his next words.

"Y-yes ma'am. I'll um have those drinks for you as soon as possible. Uh, yeah." The guy literally fast walked his ass away from our table. I look back at River, only to see him trying to hold back his laugh, making me even more confused.

"What? Why are you laughing?"

"No reason doll."

I roll my eyes, "Yeah right."

"You don't trust me?"

"I mean considering we've only known each other for about, what, three days. no, I don't trust your fine ass. And what's with all the nicknames?"
