"Lizzie do you have a lot of other homework?" Paolo asked when they were done.
"Umm no strangely" she laughed" Why?"
"Well I was thinking we could go dancing" He said a little shyly.
'Dancing?" Lizzie asked surprised.
"Yea come on there is this new outside restaurant with dancing and I thought we could go check it out."
"Umm why not but I'm not ready."
"I'll wait for you."
"Ok I'll be down in 15 minutes" Lizzie giggled as she ran upstairs.
When Lizzie came down she found that Paolo had changed too. "Did you know that I would agree?" she asked as they walked out the door to the taxi that was waiting for them.
"I hoped you would" he said simply as they got in the car.
Lizzie wondered where she had heard tat before. Some where some one had said that very same words. But who and where and when? Those details she could not recall.
Their table with a single candle was at the very back of the restaurant area and it overlooked the down town of their town. The thousands of twinkling lights down below made Lizzie feel very worm inside. Paolo excited her in so many ways.
The dancing had already started and they had finished their food. As a slow song came on Paolo stood up and walked on to her. "May I have this dance?"
"Lizzie nodded and giggle giddily as he walked her out to dance."You know I might get in trouble if I stay out too late" she told him.
"Just this dance" He said tightening his grip around her so she couldn't get away easily. But getting away was the last thing on her mind.
"Paolo do you think we'll do good on the project?" she asked trying to get rid of the small bit of tension that was hanging in the air.
"We'll do great!" He promised. And Lizzie believed him and didn't give the issue a single thought.
