Ryan was finishing up his homework in the poolhouse as he put his books in his school bag and walked out of the poolhouse across the garden and into the kitchen where Kirsten was standing setting the kitchen table for dinner.She looked over seeing Ryan entering the kitchen and smiled over at him
'Ryan would you mind going to pick up dinner for the restaurant' Kirsten asked Ryan as she continued to set the table
'Sure' Ryan agreeded. 'Where's Sandy and Seth thought' Ryan asked not seeing either of them around the house
'Sandy's still at the office finishing off some work and Seth's up in his room doing his homework' Kirsten explained as she walked over to her purse handing Ryan some money
'Thanks i'll won't be long' Ryan said taking the money and car keys off Kirsten and walking outside into the driveway entering the Range Rover and reversing down the driveway and making his way towards the restaurant
Arriving at the restaurant Ryan parked the car in a opening parking space getting out of the car locking it before walking into the restaurant and up to the front of the restaurant
'Can i help you sir' The waiter behind the counter asked
'Em yeah i'm here to pick up a delievery for Cohen' Ryan answered
'Of course sir i'll just go and check that for you' The waiter replied walking away to check the order
Ryan stood back patiently waiting on the waiter coming back with the delievery when he looked around bored and noticed someone he knew from school out of the corner of his eye
'Hey Ryan fancy meeting you here i mean out of all the restaurant in town we both end up being here at the same place same time' Taylor babbled leaving Ryan confused who just blinked
'Yeah pretty weird' Ryan admitted looking at Taylor
'Are you here with Seth' Taylor asked

'Yeah' Taylor nodded her head

'Well nobody's asked me yet so no' Taylor confirmed wishing she could go
'Me either' Ryan said soflty before looking into Taylor eyes.'Unless you maybe wanted to go with me or maybe you've got other plans' Ryan asked at Taylor whose eye widned in shock before a huge smile apperared on her face
'I'd love to' Taylor beamed looking at Ryan
'Great' Ryan replied before seeing the waiter shouting the order was ready' Well i better go see you at school tomorrow' Ryan asked
'Sure' Taylor agreeded before walking off to the bathroom like she had first planned smiling thinking how she was going to a school dacne.With Ryan Atwood no less
