"Looks like we are going to have Italian tonight." Louis announced.

"Wow!" Karmale exclaimed with a bored look.

Louis merrily reversed the car and made for a different direction. In front of the lavish restaurant, he parked his vehicle.

"Don't get up. I would like to get for you the door first." Louis pledged the gentle gesture.

"Thank you. You're such a gentleman." Karmale placed her palm in Louis's as she climbed down. Her other hand held her purse and a dark trench coat.

"Pleasure, honey."

They walked hand in hand and when they reached the glass door of the Italian restaurant, Louis opened.

"Fine lady." He moved aside to let her through first.

"Thank you." She walked in.

"Welcome Sir and Ma'am. Good evening." A waiter greeted the two.

"Hallo." Karmale briefly smiled.

"Good evening." Louis greeted.

"Do you have a reservation for the night?"

"No-"

"I'm sorry then sir. We are booked out."

"Excuse me?"

"All tables are taken, Sir."

"Wow! Couldn't the night get any better?" Karmale mumbled to herself.

"Excuse-"

"Louis-!" Karmale grabbed Louis's arm. His expression was bitter. He wanted to shout at the waiter.

"Our bad, mister. We'll leave right away." Karmale said to the waiter.

"I'm sorry, ma'am. Have a good evening."

"Sure."

"No, Karmale. What kind of place is this?"

"Louis, don't embarrass yourself and I any further. You know it's not the man's fault you did not make reservations earlier."

"I'm sorry."

"Never mind. We can go home and I'll cook for you something nice. How does that sound?" Karmale winked.

"Amazing!" He peeked her cheek.

"Mrs. Black?" A heavy Italian accent called interrupting the romantic moment.

"Mrs. Black?" Karmale's brows rose and fell in confusion but she turned to the call. Louis had not paid attention to the call till Karmale did.

"Who is he calling that? Who is he anyway?"

"Agastino? I'll talk to him, Loui. Give us a minute."

"Okay, Vanilla." Louis peeked her on the cheek again.

"Did I use the wrong name, ma'am? You took long enough to turn."

"Yes. Actually the name is Ms. Kane. How are you, Agastino?"

"I'm okay. How come you are not with boss?"

"I have been good too, Agastino." Karmale spoke otherwise not wishing to discuss anything about Ryxel in front of Louis. Luckily, Agastino understood.

"Ms. Kane, are you leaving already?"

"Yes."

"No, don't. You didn't even sit down."

"We did not make early reservations so the place is full already."

"Who said that to you? The waiter at the door?"
