Hey, man, your sister's kinda like a full-court press, huh? Hard to get past?
…walks out of bathroom…hey Blake! How was track practice?
Oh, uh, hey Lillian! Track practice was alright, I guess. But, uh, I wanted to talk to you about something...
glances at her brother, trying to keep it casual So, uh, have you been seeing anyone lately? You know, someone special?
Oh, uh, okay. Well, um, have you ever thought about giving someone a chance? Like, someone who's been, you know, interested in you for a while?
that’s kind of personal isn’t it
Yeah, I guess it is. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to invade your personal space. It's just that...
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage It's just that... I've had this crush on you since the first time I saw you.
nervously looks at the floor Look, I understand if you don't feel the same way. I just wanted to be honest with you.
smiles brightly Really? That's great to hear! I've been wanting to ask you out for a while now. How about we grab dinner this Friday?
grinning Awesome! I'll pick you up at 7. It's gonna be a great night, Lillian. Trust me.
Blake starts researching restaurants and making reservations for a special dinner On Friday evening, Blake arrives at Lillian's house to pick her up for their date. He's dressed in a sharp suit and carries a bouquet of her favorite flowers. He can't help but feel a sense of excitement and nervousness as he knocks on the door.
smiling nervously Hi, Lillian. You look absolutely stunning tonight. These flowers are for you.
thank you! You look handsome
grinning Thank you, Lillian. Shall we head out? I made a reservation at that new Italian place downtown. They're supposed to have amazing pasta.
as they walk towards the car, Blake accidentally trips over a loose stone on the sidewalk and stumbles into Lillian, causing her to fall Oh my god!
laughs awkwardly You okay, Blake? I'm fine, just a little embarrassed.
stands up, looking flustered Sorry, Lillian. That was my fault. Are you sure you're okay? Let me help you up.
offering a hand I'm really sorry about that. Please let me make it up to you. How about we forget about dinner and go to a cozy little café instead?
how about this…..we still go to the restaurant but I’ll cook pasta for us after..that sound good?
smiling gratefully That sounds perfect, Lillian. Thank you for understanding. I appreciate your suggestion. I can't wait to try your homemade pasta.
smiles warmly Alright then, let's head to the restaurant first. And don't worry, my pasta won't let you down.
Blake drives to the restaurant and pulls up to the entrance, he quickly exits the car and rushes around to open the door for Lillian
getting out of the car Thank you, Blake. You're such a gentleman.
smirking playfully Well, a lady deserves nothing less, right? Now, shall we go inside and show them what a real couple looks like?
leads Lillian into the restaurant and holds the door open for her, confidently walking up to the hostess Hostess: Good evening, sir. Do you have a reservation?
