Annie and Blake walked to the restaurant, Blake had offered his hand to Annie and she accepted it right away, somehow, she felt attracted to him, she felt as if she wanted to stay with him all day and do absolutely nothing, she could see how all faces turned when they entered the restaurant, Blake looked happy and that somehow made Annie happy, what the hell was she thinking? He hadn't seen the guy in 10 years! How could she possibly care so much for him?! Its ridiculous.
In the other hand ,Grace, Annie hadn't even bothered on asking her for an apology...her idea of a romantic date had lowered one level
Of happiness...she missed her friend, she needed her near.

Yeah, Monica, Miranda, Laura, Andrea, Margaret, they were all here, staring at his beloved Annie, he had dated all 5 of them, but he could notice how all the girls saw he was happier with Annie than he could ever be with them, and that gave Blake satisfaction, that ment he was on the right trail to find what he had seeked for all this time.

"They're all staring at us" Annie whispered.
"That's because you look beautiful"
"Or its because you've dated half of the girls here" Annie said and Blake's heart stopped, she knew, and that's why she hated him, for being such a player, no he wasn't a player, he will never be like his father! Who wasn't even there when his mother died, he was seeking for love, that was it...nothing else...why didn't she trust him?

Annie and Blake sat down at a cornered table, how lucky!
A handsome man with a smoking came by and served them both champagne, while he took their order.
The restaurant did feel like home, it was warm and with a kind atmosphere...perfect. She thought, she wanted to take her friends here, they would have so much fun, it seemed perfect for any possible scenario.

They had the best spot in the whole restaurant but even if they were the best seated and Annie was happy, Blake seemed sad and serious, was it his mom?

"Blake...are you sad because of your mom?" How stupid! Stupid, stupid, stupid! If Grace hadn't been mad at her, she would have written Annie a list on ' what not to ask Blake', and asking about his past away mother, would be #1 on the list.
"No, I'm sad because you don't believe I'm serious when I say I like you"
"I never said that"
"No, but you say it in small ways, like 'you've dated half of the girls here', you don't trust me"
"Should I? Do you trust me?"
"Yes, yes I do Annie, and you should trust me too"
"Then if you trust me, Blake, tell me your story"
Annie was serious, he could tell it by her expression, he could tell how into his 'story' if that's what you called it, he shouldn't tell her, he though, a smile showed up on his face, he had to tease her, that was for sure, he wanted to see how Annie worked, how much she would do just to know what had happened in his life.
"What story?" He asked.
"You know what I mean, blake"
"I don't, like, you've known me all your life"
"That's not true"
"We have been together since primary school"
"I have never taken any time to get to know you"
"Annie.."
"Blake."
They both stopped when the tuxedo waiter came and served their food, as soon as he left Annie felt as if reality had shaken her, maybe there was no story and her friends were just making it up, no...he had a story, everyone has one.
"Hey, Blake, just forget it...its okay, I believe you, if there is no story then its okay"
Blake looked at her one more time, sooner or later he had to tell her, but would she stay if she knew? Lots of people had somehow abandoned his life when they had found out about everything that had happened to him, and he didn't want to lose Annie, she was all he needed for now.
He leaned closer and rested his hand on her cheek, he posed his lips on her's and kissed her, their lips seemed to match perfectly.
"I promise that there is nothing I'm hiding from you"
What was he talking about?! This was their first date! There was no compromise!
