-1"What am I going to do now?" Julius said out loud as he stopped looking through his dresser. "I already asked her out now what." Then a little voice in his head spoke up 'turn it into just a hangout thing.' "How?" 'Go to dinner and just act normal, don't flirt with her or anything, just act like a friend.' "Okay then, I can do that." 'Oh and if she flirts with you just pretend you didn't hear her or something. Oh and DON'T even think about kissing her.' Then the voice silenced it self.

About half an hour later Julius was done getting ready and waiting outside for Delilah. Julius kept telling himself over and over again. 'We're just friends, we're just friends, we are just friends.'

When Delilah walked outside and went to wear Julius was standing. Julius had to bit his lip to keep from saying something just friends don't say to each other. Right after he saw her he knew this was going to be harder than he thought. Delilah was wearing a shiny black dress that went down a little pass her knees. "I can't do this." Julius whispered so quietly he could barley even hear it. Then the voice came back 'yes you can suck it up, you've known her for over 11 years, she's just a friend that's it nothing more, she's just a friend.

"Okay let's get this over with." Julius said still in a low voice, as walked over to Delilah. As he casually said "You look nice, new dress?"

"Yeah, thanks for noticing." Delilah asked with a hit of worrier in her voice, "Are you alright Jay?"

"Yeah I'm fine. Why?"

"Just wondering."

"Oh, okay. So you ready?"

"Yeah."

"Okay let's get a move on." Then they both walked over to one of the academies car Julius walking slightly faster then Delilah. When they got to the car Julius got into the drivers side without saying a word. Delilah walked over to the passengers side and wondered "What's up with him?" right before getting into the car.

It was a quiet ride which made it seem like forever to get there. But Julius was driving fast, well for him anyway. Most of the ride Delilah was looking out her window. Then she turned her head and looked at Julius. He didn't even notice her staring at him. It looked like he was thinking real hard about something. 'But what.' Delilah wondered, 'and why is he in a hurry. It's like he just wants to get this over with, wait that doesn't make any sense he asked me out not the other way around.' Her thoughts stopped as she returned her gaze out the window.

Finally they arrived at Londoste. It had the name in neon lights above the main entrance. With two big guys with a clip board standing in front of the doors and of course there was a long line. Julius parked the car and got out. Then Delilah got out and said, "It looks way to busy. Why don't we go back home we can go out another time. And I'm not being rude or anything but you don't look to good."

"Mine as well get this over with now." Julius muttered under his breath.

"What did you say?"

"Oh nonsense I fell fine, besides that line is for people without reservations, and we do have reservations, so come on lets go." Then they both walked to the door Julius still walking slightly faster then Delilah.

"Do you have reservations?" asked one of the guys at the door.

"Yes, a table for two under Julius Chevalier." Julius replied before Delilah even had time to catch up with him.

"Yes of course right this way Mr.Chevalier." replied the man before opening the door and showing them to their table. They were seated at a table right beside a window which looked down on the city.

Delilah and Julius sat down just as a waiter came up gave them both a menu and asked, "I hope you have a nice evening. My name is Seth and I'll be your waiter for the evening. I'll give you some time to look at your menus, but in the meantime can I get any of you something to drink?"

"I'll have an iced tea." replied Delilah.

"just a glass of water for me." Julius replied.

"Okay then I'll be back in a few minutes then." Then Seth left.

"He's seems nice." Delilah said trying to start a conversation.

"What?"

"The waiter, I think his name was Seth."

"Oh yeah sure." Delilah slumped back in defeat of trying to start a conversation. Julius was just not in the mood to talk.
