"okay! we're here" ruel breathes out, and i take a look out my window, seeing the small banner of the restaurant. "let's go, the food's really good, c'mon" he says nodding his head towards me.

i unlock the car doors, and pull the handle, stepping out of the car. looking up and then at the low lit interior. i look back at ruel and see him shielding his face, and at first i think he's keeping the sun from his eyes, until i see his eyes shifting around. my brows furrow at what he was doing, till he rushes to be by my side.

"let's go inside, yeah?" he says and i nod in agreement. he reaches forward opening the door for me.

"thank you" i nod my head.

"ruel! come in, come in" a tall, slightly pudgy man says, bringing ruel in for a hug. ruel laughs out, returning the hug and patting his back.

"hi luca, thanks for clearing the back for us today" ruel says looking down at me with a big smile.

"yes! yes, of course. please come this way" he speaks with his slight italian accent.

ruel nods at him, then towards me. i feel a hand on my lower back, ushering me along, following luca back. 

"excited, yeah? best italian food i've had for awhile" he leans down and whispers in my ear, smiling back.

"very excited" i say with a smile.

"here's your table" luca says with a smile, "ruel i have your regulars already coming out, and it's on the house today"

"no way thanks, luca" ruel says going in for another hug. while i'm settling in the booth, i see luca whisper something in ruel's ear, then i see a blush spread over his cheeks.

"thanks luca" he says making his way over to sit across from me. after moving around in his seat a little, he looks back up at me and smiles.

we've been eating for a while, sharing pizza and pasta, having some small talk here and there.

"so, you're homeschool?" i speak out, realizing that it's a monday, so he doesn't have typical school either.

"o-oh uhm yeah, homeschooled" he gives a half smile towards me, "you are too, but i guess i already knew that" he shrugs his shoulders at me. i smile back at him, taking another bite of my food, and brushing some of my hair behind my ears.
