About an hour after I hung up the call Henry pulled up to my house to pick me up. His black sedan slowed to a stop in front of my door. Looking through the window I saw him get out of his car and start walking up to my front door.
He was dressed in a white polo top and blue jeans and had his typically smart watch on his left wrist. Pretty basic date attire but he wore it amazingly. Unsurprisingly, he hadn't done anything special with his hair and just let it fall as it pleased, but I enjoyed the messy look.
Seeing him walk up to the door I ran downstairs and waited on the other side. I spread out my demonic energy and the moment I felt him reaching up to knock on the door I opened it to surprise him. "Hello Henry, I've been waiting."
A surprised look on his face appeared and he stuttered out his next words. "Oh, um, ah y-yeah, hello, Andrea." Cute. It was so tempting to just drag him down to the training room and tie him up, but I resisted.
"Are you ready to go?" He asked while I was still lost in thought, but I quickly regained my composure. "Yes I am, let's go." I grabbed his hand and walked with him to his car.

Beautiful, that's the only word I could possibly attempt to use to describe her. When she opened the door I was blown away, it wasn't even like she had gone out of her way to specially dress up or anything either.
She was wearing tight, ripped, blue jeans and a tight white shirt that perfectly complemented her curves and let her long black hair flow down her back and. When she opened the door for me her bright and slightly mischievous smile sent off fireworks in my heart. I completely lost my train of thought and was barely able to mutter out some words.
She grabbed my hand and started walking to my car, I managed to somewhat compose myself and managed to open her door for her and help her into the car before taking my place in the driver's seat.
"So, where are we going?" She asked with curious eyes which seemed like they could almost see through me. "Just wait and see, I heard about this place from my cousin Benny and it's supposed to be pretty good." I responded and began driving. "Oh, well then I'm looking forward to it."
The drive took about 20 minutes and the whole time we were talking about small things such as school, teachers, friends, and family. It seems her dad has been giving her a hard time recently, but other than that I'm glad seemed to be doing well.
We arrived at the restaurant, a place called Kobe ​​Ti Pendere. [Author's note: Bonus points to anyone who knows the language and the translation, no cheating] We hopped out of the car and entered the restaurant.
A host was waiting in front "how many people?" He asked. "Two" I responded. "The wait will be around 2 hours. Name?" Two hours? I hadn't planned on that. Now what to do? I'm defining chewing Benny out later for this.

Henry looked very surprised when he heard the host say two hours, it was kind of cute, but I knew I should probably save him. "We'll just go somewhere else?" I said to the host and grabbed Henry's hand, left the restaurant, and led him back to the car. He looked a little distraught when we got back in the car, pulling out his phone and seeming looking up other places to go, and maybe cursing someone through text.
"How about we go to FastBurger over there by the park, then we can eat while looking at the sunset?" I gave Henry my suggestion and he gave me a look that screamed 'thank you, I had no clue what to do' "That sounds like a great idea, let's do that." He quickly said before starting the car and beginning to drive.
It only took us a couple of minutes before reaching FastBurger, and Henry spent the entire time trying to apologize for not making a reservation beforehand. I kept telling him that it was okay and that we had originally canceled today's date and that we could always go another time. That seemed to put him a little more at ease, but I know he'd be stressing about it for the rest of the night, which is kind of cute in its own way.
We pulled up to the drive through and each ordered a meal, A regular FastBurger combo with sweet tea. Henry pulled through the drive through and got our food, paid, and drove us over to the park, which was less than a minute away.
We parked the car and ate our food before exiting the car and going for a walk through the park under the setting sun. Looking at the green scenery of the park and listening to the sounds of the critters getting ready for the night while holding Henry's hand was a different kind of experience, it kind of made me want to tease him.
"Maybe your mess up wasn't so bad after all, I mean this kind of date is pretty good, isn't it?" His face immediately turned a bright red out of embarrassment, which only made me want to tease him more. "I wonder what we would've done if it was any later, we wouldn't have had a chance to walk in the park like this if the sun was all the way down."
That might've been a little too far, his embarrassment started to turn into slight panic which, although fun, meant I shouldn't push it any further. "I'm glad it all worked out though." With that I wrapped my arms around his arm and kept walking.
