i'm in love
Chapter 2
We always used to go there when we were really young. Our families were really good friends, and still are.
He saw my face and beamed. I knew this would be a good place. He told me. I was frozen again, but this time I was having a flash back of when I was younger. He began walking forward with my hand in his still. He began to chuckle when he realized I was kind of frozen.
Come on, nothing to be afraid of he teased. I snapped out of it and began laughing with him. We walked into the Bistro, they had made a few changes but it was basically the same old place it was twelve years ago.
Reservation for Woods he told the waitress.
The waitress took us to the back of the restaurant and I saw a table set up for two. We passed straight by it and began to ascend up some stairs in the back of the Bistro I didn't even know existed. When we reached the top I was stunned. It was a cozy room with a small fireplace with a table set up for two in the middle of the room. It was beautiful, Cody had done this for me? This was amazing, I was going to faint.
The waitress left. You like it? Cody asked, looking quite satisfied with my expression on my face.
Do I like it? I asked astonished It's beautiful, you are the smartest, kindest, most thoughtful person I have ever met! I squeaked, giving him a giant hug. He squeezed me back.
Willow, he said quietly do you like me?
Of course I like you! I said smiling, we were meant to be together I said letting go of him to look up at his face. He was beaming.
Come on, lets eat something he sighed letting go of me. We both sat down at the table. He picked up his menu and scanned through the options, I followed his lead. I narrowed my options down to three particular things I saw, spaghetti, Caesar salad, and pizza. Ummm, I thought, the Caesar was the healthiest but the spaghetti looked the most appetizing. I went with the spaghetti, it's spaghetti! I thought, what could go wrong? Apparently a lot could go wrong when one eats spaghetti on their first date. Example, Bolognese sauce all over the face. This was one of my famous uh-oh moments. Defiantly not something every girl wants to go through. I was sitting there, happily eating my spaghetti and chatting with Cody when he begins to chuckle.
What? I nervously asked, Cody only laughed like that when I looked funny or weird. He continued to chuckle as he picked up his napkin and leaning over the table began to wipe the Bolognese sauce that had appeared on my face off. My nervous system shut down, I couldn't feel my fingers or toes, I couldn't move. He had never, ever gotten this close. My heart began to race as if it were in a marathon or something. I could swear Cody could hear it. I was in complete shock. Cody sat back to look at me at this point. He continued his chuckle. Now I was angry,
Stop that! I tried to scold him, but how could someone possible stay angry with an angel for more than a second. So, Instead of finishing off my angry statement with emotion, at the end my voice melted in to a whisper and I ended up sighing and shutting up. This only made him laugh more. I put my head down on the table and gave up. I was only making myself look even worse.
Its okay! Cody managed to stammer through his laughing. You look even cuter when you freeze like that_ he revealed.
Yeah, right I replied, my head still down on the table. Cody sighed and managed to stop himself laughing. I peeked up at him through my arms cradling myself. Cody was smiling down at me.
Hi there! he said, and immediately we both began cracking up again. Cody was the best, he could always make things right when they were weird and awkward. He had such a great sense of humor too, which made it easier to talk to him.
Hey, I need to go to the bathroom, I'll be right back ok? I told Cody.
Alright he replied, I'm not going anywhere! he exclaimed. I shook my head as I left, always being smart. I headed down the stairs and to the bathroom. There was a crowd of people leaving when I got downstairs, through the crowd I thought I saw my moms purple evening coat.
