Side note: I think I'm far enough into the story, that you guys can help me come up with a title. So, if you have any ideas, then comment on my profile. Thanks. Enjoy!!

Chapter One Part Five
We walk
through the doors, and the smell of bread and wine hits us.
Abele's has been my favorite place to eat since Jax took me
here two years ago for my birthday. It looks like a little
restaurant from a glance, but when you walk in you see how big it
really is. There's three different dining rooms, a fireplace,
and a section in the back for their Friday night DJs. They have
the walls painted so you feel like you're actually in Italy.
The added bonus of this place; it's built pretty much on the
water, so if you get a seat by the wall you get to watch the sun
set.
"Reservation for Illiana Dawson,"
Jax tells the hostess.
"Two?" She questions.
"Yes," Jax answers.
"Right this way," she says.
I was excited when she took us to a seat overlooking the water.
The sun was already starting to go down, and the sky was
beautiful hues of purple, pink, and blue.
"Hi there. I'm Alessa, and I'll
be your waitress tonight. Can I start you guys off with drinks or
appetizers?" She says, interrupting my sky-gazing.
"Yea, I'll take a Coke. Illy, what do
you want?" Jax asks.
"Umm, I'll just have a water for
now," I say, turning back from the window.
"Great. I'll be back with your
drinks," Alessa says as she pivots away from our table.
"It's so beautiful. I could watch the
sun set all night," I exclaim.
"I could watch you all
night," says Jax.
"Umm, that's creepy," I say
while making a face.
We sit in silence for a little bit before our waitress, Alessa,
is back with our drinks.
"Do you guys know what you want?"
Alessa asks.
This time I'm first to answer.
"Yea, I'll take the fettucini alfredo
topped with shrimp."
"I'll just have an order of the three
cheese raviolis," Jax tells her.
"Alright then. I'll see you guys in a
few," Alessa tells us turning around.
I watch her walk into the back where they place orders. In a way,
she was skipping. I wonder what that's about. Then I turn to
face Jax. He looks at me with such a yearning, it's adorable,
but he looks like he's trying to hide something
too.
