The Bistro Again

Friday night finally arrives,anticipation of meeting Olivia again has me clock watching. What an eternity to watch a clock change from 6:57 pm to 6:58 pm,when all i can think about is what are we going to talk about. Then i see Olivia coming through the front door her long hair flowing over the shoulders of her raincoat. Olivia spots me waves and slowly makes her way over.

"Sorry Max got stuck in traffic!" removing her raincoat before sitting down 'I swear a little rain and everyone turns into a little old lady driving for the first time!" adjusting her top "You haven't been waiting long have you Max?"

"Just long enough to have three beers and two entrees!" I reply with a smirk on my face. She looks to see if i'm serious "Only kidding Olivia,I've not even had a drink yet!"

The waitress comes over dropping the menus to us "Care for a drink while you wait?

Olivia orders a glass of white wine,I order a scotch neat. We chit chat until the drinks arrive then we order the pot roast dinner.Waiting for it to arrive Olivia proved that she was listening in the coffee shop "So Max how's Petey?"

"I hear it's still there!" Then I reciprocate "How's the leg?"

Still giving me something to stand on!" We burst out laughing causing the people around us to throw us dirty looks.

Well now that the puns are out of the way,how was your week Olivia?"

"Very good actually,long because of the anticipation of tonight but over all good!" "Olivia answers as our entrees are set in front of us. When the waitress leaves "Max how was your week?"

"Really long until I saw you come in!" I take a forkful of pot roast,chewing and swallowing before continuing "You don't know how many times i started to reach for the phone,planning to call to make sure you were going to show up!"

"I would say paranoid much but after what i did last week,it's understandable!" Olivia reply before taking the final bite of her pot roast. We finish pretty well at the same time,looking at the dessert choices Olivia asks me if we can skip dessert here and go back to Grinds.
