We wait in the elevator and I realize that this was going to be our first date.
I start feeling my cheeks heating up and I fear that I might screw up and ruin out whole relationship.
The elevator stops. 3 scary looking men walk in but they are shorter than me so I wasn't that intimidating.
Catherine nods at them and they nod back at her and they look up at me and I am not sure what to do at that moment so I look down
Catherine and she smiles and says "he's new"
the mean men look at each other. The one who I think is the leader of the group says to me "welcome to the team" I smile and thank them.
After some time we reach the ground floor and the men wave goodbye to us and Catherine waves back.
I look down at her hand 'I want to hold her hand' so take it and she turns back to me. She looks down at our hands and back to me
she says with her eyebrow raised "um what is this about?" I smile and try to think of a good excuse.
I say "you haven't been to this Café before but I have so I'll guide you" she smiles and shrugs.
We leave the company area and walk on the streets. I hope that she has fun because she hasn't been having a good day and it hurts to see her like that.
We finally reach the Café and I look down at Catherine and I see her smiling and looking at the Café with amusement.
I'm falling in love with her because of the millions of things she never knows she is doing. Like the look in her eye when she sees something cute and how she takes her work with such pride.
I take her to the small table that had a good view of the streets and all the restaurants across the street. I pull a chair back and she sits and I push it in so she is comfy near the table.
I run into the Café and go to the waitress and say "hi I would like to order a lemon iced tea and a lemonade to drink. And to eat I would like a chicken Caesar salad and grilled chicken sandwich. At the table outside, I think table 3" she smiles and I pay.
I walk back out and see Catherine looking out at the street and smiling and she looks so amazing. I sit across from her and ask "so how are you doing now?" she puts her chin her hand and tell me she is doing better now and we chat for some time.
We chat for a few more minutes and the waiter arrives holding a tray of a glass lemonade and a glass of iced tea. They place it on our table.
I look at her and say "I hope you like lemon ice tea" she smiles and enthusiastically says "I love lemon ice tea! How did you know?"
I smile and try to think of some witty comeback "Magicians never reveal their tricks"
"Jenna told you, didn't she?" I chuckles and remember Jenna texting me all the things that Catherine likes
"ya but I still ordered it" she laughs and looks down at her drink.
We continue talking and the waiter returns with a plate of chicken salad and chicken sandwich.
she reaches for the chicken salad but I pull it back and say "you get the sandwiches"
she shakes her head and say "I am going to have the salad, thank you much"
I don't give it back and instead say "you need to eat. Jenna told me that you don't eat allot"
she sighs and takes the plate with the chicken sandwich and I smile feeling proud and we begin to eat.
"Would you like to play a game?" I ask her and she looks up at me while sipping her iced tea and nods "the game is that I will point at a couple or person. You have to try to guess their life"
she smiles and I hope she like it and she says "okay you point and I'll guess"
I smile and look around and then I point at a couple behind me that are getting out of the car and I say "them"
she sighs and checks them out.
She looks at them a lot of concentration and after a few minutes.
she looks at me and says "the man is most probably a CEO of a big company and he looks dominating. The girl, but looks creative and sweet and is his submissive.
And they're married seeing the rings on their hands and they're married to each other. since the man seems protective of the girl. The girl has a look of love in her eyes while looking at him"
I smile and say "wow that is well done"
she shrugs and says "I studied psychology in college". Well at least I have learned something new about her as well.
I laugh and I look across the street and see a young couple and point at them.
She looks at them and her eyes have a hint of sadness in them but I try not to ask about it because I'm sure that it's personal. She looks back at me and says "they are in college or have just finished college.
The boy is a wrestler or soldier or something like that. The girl is independent and strong even though her face looks the opposite" I clap.
She narrows her eyes at me and says "I get to point now".
She looks around and then points at three friends who are walking side by side and chatting.
The girl wearing glasses and has a mature face and is carrying a notebook and pen. Wearing what seems to be comfortable clothes, so she is most likely a writer or something.
The boy who has her arm wrapped around her is her boyfriend. He seems to be a business man by the briefcase and suit he's wearing.
The other girl has straight hair and looks mature as well and a kind face, she is a psychiatrist or therapist.
I hear Catherine laugh and I turn to her and smile since her laugh is so sweet.
she gestures for me to talk and I say "The girl with glasses is a writer and was born here. Since she is guiding the other two around. She also looks creative and is in love with the boy who is holding her waist.
The boy is her boyfriend and is a good friend of the straight haired girl.
He seems to be in love with the glasses girl and seems to be a business man by his briefcase and suit.
The straight haired girl is best friends with the glasses girl. They look more like childhood friends. She is a psychiatrist since she looks like one." She smiles and we chat for some more time.
We head back to the office and I hold her hand again and she says "I know where the office is"
I smile and say "then why are you still holding my hand?" she smirks but keeps holding hands with me and when we get to the lobby, she let goes of my hand.
I look down at her confused but she gestures her head to my dad who is walking towards us. I sigh since he always ruins the mood by lecturing me and she chuckles and we go up to him.
My dad looks super angry and he asks me "where the heck were you?! I went to the office and saw that you weren't there!"
I sigh and say "we were coming back from lunch, dad"
He looks at Catherine and she says "yes Mr. Red we were coming back from lunch"
Finally my dad lets out a breath of relief and says "I feared you had quit" we laugh.
My dad finally leaves and Catherine heads to the elevator but I hold her wrist.
She turns to look at me and I walk up to her and try to not act nervous and ask "do you want go out for dinner later?"
Her eyes become wide. I just smile at her and say "ya sure"
I begin to blush and start thinking 'I better not screw this up'.
