The Blue - Zen restaurant was lit up outside with a trail of bright white lights, intertwining with a vine of deep red roses. The building had an older look about it on the outside, but Danny knew that on the inside it would probably look as perfect as Stella had told him. Danny had never seen anything like it before. Growing up, the only places he had really seen were the Italian style restaurants which were 10 a penny, and generally nothing special. At least, that was his view - and he certainly didn't share the same views as his father did.
Danny pushed through the doors and his lungs were immediately suffocated by the smell of freshly baked bread.
"Hi, I'm looking for Greg?" Danny asked, standing at the bar.
The girl behind the bar turned around and smiled. "Good evening, Sir - I'll just get him for you." She put down the towel and the glass that she was cleaning and exited through a side door to come around the front. Danny nodded in her direction as a 'Thank you' and followed her through to the main dining room, where he waited as she made her way over to a middle aged man who was sat talking to some customers.
She leaned down and spoke gently in his ear, making him automatically turn his head to look over at Danny. He got up from his seat, acknowledged an 'excuse me' and made his way over to Danny, offering his outstretched hand.
"Hi, you must be Danny Messer. I'm Greg."
Yeah that would be me," Danny replied as he shook Greg's hand.
"Ok, so if you wanna follow me, I'll show you the perfect place that Stella told me would be just right for you and Lindsay tonight - Somewhere that is private and intimate, yes?" Greg asked as he started to make his way to the back of the dining room.
"Well, I didn't really have a say in it - you know what Stella's like. I just agree with what she goes with!" Danny replied as he followed Greg. The stepped into the elevator, and pretty much instantly, it stopped at the rooftop. As they stepped out and made their way to a secluded part of the rooftop, Danny could hear soft music playing faintly in the background. Rose petals were scattered acrodd the rooftop's floor, making a pathway towards the table.
"Wow, Greg... "Danny exclaimed as they got to the table. " Stella wasn't jokin' when she said it was going to be amazing."
"Well we all know how much of a hopeless romantic Stella can be.. God knows where she gets her ideas from though!" Greg chuckled.
The table was out of the wind path on the roof, and was away from the noise of the traffic below. Danny had to admit that it was the nicest table and location that he would ever bring a date to - He could never in his wildest dreams come up with something as perfect as this.
Danny stared at the table, taking everything in; The table - not big at all, - just the right size for two people to be comfortable without being crowded, the plates and glasses were set out symmetrically to each others place setting, and the table was plainly decorated in Red and White, the perfect combination for a Valentines meal.
"Seriously, Greg.. This is... wow!" Danny exclaimed, smiling. " I really don't know what to say...Thanks man." he offered his hand out to Greg, which he gladly took.
"It's my pleasure!" Greg smiled as he looked at his watch. "Oh, hey its almost 8.30PM, so.. " He picked up a small bunch of freshly wrapped Red roses that Stella had sent over. "These are for you. Well, not for you persay, I mean for you to give to Lindsay." Greg laughed.
"Stella really has thought of everything, huh!" Danny grinned as he took the roses from Greg.
"Oh yeah, the waiters, and waitress's are on hand nearby, so if you need anything, just call. Ok well, Good luck Danny.. although I doubt you will need it!"
Danny watched as Greg turned around and dissapeared through the walkway to the elevator. He took a deep breath - suddenly those niggling doubts came back to cloud his mind, but he knew that as soon as he finally saw her here, they would dissapear. He walked over to the rooftop's edge and looked over at the hustle and bustle down below, wishing she would hurry up and arrive.
The cab driver pulled up outside Blue - Zen, and Lindsay was left breathless. It was a gorgeous homely looking place and compared to the buildings that were surrounding it, she thought it looked expensive.
She paid the cab driver and stepped out on to the sidewalk. Looking up, she noticed the building was tall, and towered over the neighbouring ones. Lindsay waited for the cab driver to pull off before taking a deep breath and steppin through the front doors. As the door opened, a middle aged guy appeared to be waiting for her with his hand stretched out in front of him.
"Hi, you must be Lindsay Monroe?" he asked, flashing his set of perfect pearly white teeth.
"Oh, ah, yes, I am... and you are..?" Came the reply, as she gingerly placed her hand in his.
"My name is Greg, and I am here to escort you to your table. " Greg replied.
He shut the door behind her, and motioned her forward to the back of the dining room.
