Date night [AaD]

I am getting home from a stressful day at work, my boss wanted me to finish a project, which he said I had time to finish till next week.
The only thing that could safe the day is the Date my boyfriend, Stephen, and I planned for tonight.

I go to the bathroom to take a shower. When I'm done, I look in the mirror for a moment and dry my light brown hair. Then I go to my bedroom and look for my favorite outfit from the closet, it's a black suit, with a red shirt.

When I look at the clock, I see that I have to leave to arrive at the restaurant on time.

I quickly grab my keys and my wallet and go to my car, I get in and drive off.

Arriving at the restaurant, I go inside and sit down at the table we have reserved. I look at my phone and see that I'm still a few minutes too early, so I'm waiting.

After a few minutes, a waiter comes in to my table, "Can I bring you something?"
I quickly shake my head, "No, thank you I am still waiting for someone", she nodds and walks away.

When she's gone, I grab my phone and write Stephen, 'Where are you? I am waiting."
Nervously, I wiggle my legs up and down and keep looking at my phone, hoping to get a response from Stephen.

After about ten minutes, the waiter comes back to my table, "Do you need something? Can I bring you something while you are waiting?"
"Uhm...", I quickly clear my throat, "Only a glass of water please", she nodds and walks away.

The people around me look at me with prejudice and I sink in my chair a bit.

The waiter comes back to me with a glass of water, "Thank you", I say and sip on it a bit.
I look at my phone again and see, that Stephen read my message but didn't answer, at that point I empty the glass and stand up so I can pay but at the moment I start moving my chair backwards a stranger sits on the chair in front of me.

"Hey, sorry babe, I am late, the traffic was hell", he speaks with a clear voice. He leans towards me and whispers, "My name is Anthony, you can call me Ant. I saw you sitting here alone and thought about the person not showing up, the person must be a dickhead", he smiles at me and I smile back.

"Thank you. Yeah, my boyfriend really is a dickhead", I stop talking but he looks at me questioning, so I start talking again, "I am Declan, call me Dec", I reach out to shake his hand.

We talk a bit and eat something, he even paid for my food. After the dinner, we walk outside together.
"This was really nice, thank you for saving me", I say.
"I would do anything for such a cute person", he answers, what makes me blush a bit, "So, maybe you wanna do this again sometimes, only that you didn't plan something with your boyfriend then"

I look at him with big eyes. Did he just ask me out? I answer him, "Yes, why not. Maybe we can learn each other a bit more"
After that, he gives me a little peck on the cheek and wishes me a good night. He gives me a little piece of paper with his phone number on it and walks away.

I walk towards my car and sit inside, "That was the best night I ever had"

A few minutes I just sit there and think about the dinner and how cute the other guy was, as I look on my phone and see a message of Stephen, "Sorry, just noticed I can't tonight. Maybe next time."

I start smiling into my phone and instantly save Anthony as a contact.

This night I slept better than any night ever before.
