As Astrea got downstairs,she walked through the living room and told her parents goodbye,she also kissed her siblings on the cheek.
"See you all later",and with that she was out the door.
She got out of her house to see Ezra waiting outside his car for her as she made her way to where he stood ,she noticed how intently he stared at her or they stared at each other, because she wasn't really sure who was staring at who ,but she was sure that it was making her heart feel funny and beat in over drive.
As she got to where he stood,they both stood there seemingly entranced in each other's eyes neither moving,Astrea was the first to regain her composure.
"Hey", Astrea said snapping Ezra out of his reverie .
"Hi Astrea", Ezra said.
"Lets get going shall we?",Ezra said for Astrea to nod. He opened the door for her and got into the car himself.
On the drive there Astrea asked "Where are we going?".
Only for Ezra to say "it is a surprise ",in a rather mysterious manner.
"You really love surprises don't you ?",Astrea said jokingly to Ezra.
"Guilty as charged",Ezra said with a hint of smile in his voice.
At that statement he suddenly stopped the car ,came out and helped Astrea come down.
They stopped in front of a fancy looking building that she really didn't know what it was. If she was asked how it looked she would say that it looked modern but that's about it.
Ezra took her hand and led her into the building which on the inside looked like a very fancy restaurant except it was empty.
Ezra asked her to take a seat and said that he would return shortly ,while he was gone Astrea looked around the restaurant and then she noticed something everything was either black or gold which gave it a mysterious and luxurious look.
Ezra came out shortly after with a platter of brownies and Sundae dishes filled with strawberry ice cream , as he placed it on the table Astrea happily forgot all her queries about this place and focused on the dessert infront of her.
Ezra sat down and handed her a sundae dish with the platter of brownies while he took a sundae of his own.
Astrea picked up the spoon a had a bite of the ice cream and in it was lovely, she was convinced that it was the best ice cream she had ever tasted in her sixteen years of being on this planet .
"This is amazing ",Astrea said pointing at the ice cream with her spoon.
"I'm glad you like it, It took alot of effort",Ezra said smiling with genuine joy in his eyes .
"Wait you made this ?!", Astrea said not knowing why she was surprised based on their previous picnic. 'He is just amazing ', Astrea said in her head.
"I did ",Ezra said with a wide smile showing his pearly white teeth.
Astrea proceeded to take a bite of a brownie and it was just as great , it also helped that she loved chocolate.
"This is brilliant ", Astrea said pointing to the brownies not aware she was showing how much of a foodie she really was.
"Really?",Ezra said to receive a nod fr Astrea.
"I wouldn't know since I don't really like chocolate ",Ezra said to Astrea's utter shock.
"Wow , I don't think I've ever met anyone who didn't like chocolate", Astrea said thinking and then shaking her head.
"Anyways what is this place?",Astrea asked ,her curiosity returning.
"This is a place my mum gave me a couple years ago but I only recently started using it, I recently used the day of our picnic ", Ezra said .
"You should really consider turning this place into a restaurant in the future, with your cooking skills this place will be famous in no time.",Astrea said looking around.
"Really, I don't know, I know that it worked out for my mother but it may not work out well for me, what if everything goes wrong and I accidentally burn down the place one day, plus the fact that you like my food and desserts doesn't mean everybody else will",as Ezra kept rambling about all the things that could go wrong,Astrea suddenly stopped him,by putting a finger over his lips.
He looked at her finger and then looked in her eyes,"Stop, breathe ",Astrea said taking away her finger to . Ezra did as she said obediently.
"Good,now tell me do you enjoy cooking and baking? ", Astrea asked looking into his eyes .
"Yeah,but...",Ezra said but he was cut of by Astrea.
"No buts, If you enjoy doing something you should at least attempt it and so what if you fail , You know what they say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger ", Astrea said waiting for Ezra to speak .
"I guess you are right,but how would I even advertise and get the place out to the public,you need more than good food to run a business.",Ezra said.
"Don't worry about the advertisement, I'll handle it, I've been taking business classes and I have a couple methods we could try", Astrea said.
"What about staff?", Ezra asked.
"I am aware that is an issue,but we will start small, You could cook and I will be the waitress", Astrea suggested.
"I couldn't possibly ask you to do that ",Ezra said shaking his head with his eyebrows drawn together.
Astrea held his hand on the table and said "But I want to do it, let's just see it as an extra item on my University application".
Ezra looked at their intertwined hands and
then her eyes "You're amazing, I can never thank you enough ",Ezra said.
"There's nothing to thank me for ", Astrea said neither of them breaking eye contact.
"Yes there is, you gave me confidence to do something that I never taught I would have the courage to do, at this point I don't care if it works or not,I'm just happy I have someone like you next to me",Ezra said making Astrea blush and smile showing of her single dimple.
"Has anyone ever told you that your smile is extremely beautiful?", Ezra said making Astrea look at him in shock as she didn't get a lot of complements.
"No, not really",Astrea said with a smile.
"Well then, You have a very beautiful smile and your dimple is very pretty ",Ezra said.
"Thank you ", Astrea said trying to calm her heart down because she was convinced that her blood pressure would rise if her heart kept beating like this.
"Let's get going ",Ezra said.
"Okay,buy who's going to do the dishes?", Astrea asked.
"I will after I drop you at home I'll come back and do the dishes ",Ezra said.
"Nonsense, I'll help let's go",Astrea said with resolve.
