Chapter 2 â A Proper Date â Episode 1
My frantic work week came to its conclusion on Friday and I was free to focus on my date with Laurel. We were finally getting our long-awaited real date. I selected a restaurant near Laurelâs place that sheâd been to before and said was good. Throughout the afternoon, we sent flirty texts back and forth. I drove home to get ready and headed to the restaurant. I arrived first, a few minutes before our 7:00 pm meeting time. As I waited to be seated, I noticed that most of the tables were crowded together and would make first date conversation more difficult. The perimeter of the room was lined with large booths.
The hostess came to the front to greet me. âHi, do you have a reservation?â
âYes, Jack party of two,â I continued to look around. âHey, is it possible to get a booth?â
âWeâre fully booked tonight,â she said. âIs it a special occasion?â
I thought quickly, âyes itâs our anniversary.â Why did I say that?
âOh thatâs so nice. Thanks for celebrating with us tonight. Is it a big one?â
