One Week In

Amelia had been at her job for a full week. She was doing well, and really loving what she was doing. Aside from the work, she and Dante had been exchanging glances more and more over the past few days, so much so that she decided that today, Friday, she was going to talk to him, and if all went well, ask him for drinks. Well, little did Amelia know, that Dante was thinking the exact same thing.

The end of the working day was nearing, and Amelia hadn't seen Dante for most of the day, and although she couldn't actually be sad, she was still very much disappointed in that fact. Especially since there was only an hour left before it was quitting time.

As Amelia finished her duties, and clocked out for the day, she turned towards the counter, and jumped a little. There Dante stood, smiling right at her.

"Oh hello.." Amelia said.

"Hi, I'm Dante." He said with a smile.

"Dante, hi. I'm Amelia."

"That's a beautiful name."

"Thank you." She smiled. "I was wondering if I was gonna see you today... I mean, I hadn't seen you walk by at all... which is rare. I mean, not that I'm watching you.... I just happen to notice.." Amelia laughed. "Anyway... I just wasn't expecting to see you here."

"Well.. I do have a pretty good reason.."

"Oh? Do you?" Amelia smirked.

"I think so..."

"Okay then.." Amelia put her things down. "What is it?"

"Well, I was wondering if you'd like to get a drink with me sometime?" Dante smiled.

Amelia smiled shyly in return, "I would love to.."

"Really?!" Dante seemed surprised.

"Well of course..." Amelia said.

"Well alright then.. tomorrow?"

"That will be perfect! I'll give you my number, and you can text me the details... sound good?" She winked.

"Perfect..." Dante said as he dug into his pocket to grab his phone.

As Amelia added her number to Dante's phone, Dante stood back and watched as this beautiful woman was open to receiving his advances.

"Okay, there you go." Amelia smiled when she handed the phone back to Dante.

"Okay.... I will text you the details then.."

Amelia smiled again. "Great! I'll wait to hear from you."————————————————————————More than two hours later, Dante finally contacted Amelia.

'Hi Amelia. This is Dante.'

'Hi Dante! Thanks for texting!'

'Of course! :). So about tomorrow... I was thinking that we do dinner around 6:00? Roanoke Restaurant? If that's okay?'

'Oh that sounds good!' Amelia responded without knowing much about the restaurant, so she will look up the menu later.

'Okay great! Would you be opposed to me picking you up? If you're more comfortable meeting there though, I totally understand!'

'Haha. Well actually, I don't have a car in Chicago yet, and I don't particularly like taking the bus at night. So a ride would be lovely!'

'Excellent! I'll call to see if we can get a reservation, and I'll pick you up tomorrow! I'll let you know what time for sure after I secure a reservation!'

'Yes! Perfect! See you then! :)'

':)'

Amelia put her phone down and let out a very satisfied sigh, and turned to her cat to brag about what just happened. Yes, that's correct.

"Cap! Omg, I'm so happy!" Amelia laughed. "Not that you care.. or actually know what I'm saying since you're a cat.."

*MEOW*

"Thanks boy.." she laughed again. "But now I gotta look at that menu.."

The next day, Amelia was up earlier than she needed to be, and was already trying to figure out what she was going to wear.
