Finding Love Again

Chapter 15

Bucky had a hard time finding a restaurant that both Steve and Sharon would like. He searched and searched through the internet. He looked at menus, photos, and reviews to make sure it was a nice place with good food. On Monday morning, he had finally found the restaurant. He immediately told the rest which one he was going to suggest to Steve. He sent them the link so that they could look at the menu and give their approval. Everyone agreed that he should suggest it because of the wonderful reviews the place had. All he had to do now was talk to Steve about it.

Bucky dialed Steve's number and waited for him to pick up.

"Hello?" Steve answered.

"Hey, punk. It's your pal."

"Oh, hey, Buck. What's up?"

"Nothing much. How about you?"

"Well, I'm at home working on a drawing for the art gallery. Livy is napping."

"That's nice."

"So, why did you call me?"

"Well, I have a question."

"You have a question. That could be a good or bad thing."

"Do you have a restaurant picked out for your next date?"

"Why are you asking?" Steve asked slowly.

"Because if you don't, I have a recommendation."

"Since when do you give me restaurant recommendations for dates?"

"Since right now. You want to hear it or not?"

"Yeah, sure. I really have no clue where I'm going to take Sharon next."

"Well, it's a Mexican restaurant. I really hope you don't mind. It's called Casa Enrique."

"Mexican you said?"

"Yep. You guys do like Mexican food, right?"

"I do. Honestly, I'll eat whatever as long as its food. I imagine Sharon does. I mean, she travels a lot, so she must have gone to Mexico once and eaten Mexican food."

"You're telling me you don't know if your girlfriend likes Mexican food?" Bucky asked, not believing what Steve had just said.

"Yeah, what's wrong with that?"

"How do you plan dates if you don't know what types of food she likes?"

"We usually just go to her favorite restaurants," Steve stated matter-of-factly.

Bucky mentally face palmed himself. "Well, it's about time to get her to try something new that is if she hasn't tried Mexican food."

"I don't know about that, Buck," Steve doubtfully said.

"It has great reviews, and they say the food is delicious, the service is quick and attentive, and the place is comfortable. At least give it a go."

Steve stayed silent as if he still wasn't sure it was a great idea.

"Look, tell Sharon I recommended it. If she doesn't like it, she can blame me for picking it out and not you. How about that?"

"If you really want me to take her, then I guess I will."

"I'll send you the link so that you can see the menu. It looks like they have great options to choose from. I think I may even go there sometime."

"Thanks, Buck, for the suggestion."
