“Welcome to Lambournes! If you would kindly wait until we have a seat ready on the couch we would appreciate it.”
“Oh, we have a reservation” Jake said.
“Oh, that changes everything. What's your last name?”
“Johanson”
“Okay I see you have a reservation in the private room. Seating for four. Is that correct?”
“Yes sir.”
“Follow me then.”
We walked back into a room that I didn't even know they had there. When we walked in it was like walking into heaven. It was filled with the best smelling smells and had a soft sound of music playing. The chairs were lined in red velvet and the wood was a dark cherry. It had the best china and there was our menus waiting for us. The cheapest thing on there was a side salad, FOR $10! I couldn't believe it.
A couple of minutes later the waitress came to take our drink orders. Diet Coke (Paige), Dr. Pepper (Ryan), and pink lemonade for Jake and I. We don't like to drink caffeine. When she brought us our drink she asked us if we were ready.
“I'll take some clam chowder and saltines” Paige said.
“I'll take some chicken alfredo and a bread stick.” I replied.
The guys ordered a steak (medium rare, Ryan, well done, Jake). We also all got a large order of coconut shrimp to share. During dinner it was one of my most memorable things that have happened in my life. We talked about school and our favorite movies, actors/esses, songs, and anything under the sun. When we were done with our food we ordered a strawberry cheesecake and went to the deck to eat it. Oh one thing I forgot to mention is that Lambournes is on a boat. After we were done we went to go pay the bill. Paige and I offered to pay but the guys refused to take money so we ran out before we could realize how much money it cost. On our way home we decided to go change into some jeans and go to a park. So we took turns going home and changing and went to the local park. We ran around on the playground being kids then we hopped on the swings and talked for about 30 minutes. Then my mom called and told me that I needed to go home. I asked her if I could sleepover at Paige's and she said as long as the guys didn't stay there. So we laid down and watched the stars for awhile and they took us home. But the date didn't stop there. For the rest of the night we were texting each other and thanking each other for such a wonderful night. When I finally fell asleep it was 4 a.m. Jake had said he wouldn't go to sleep until he knew I was and I had said the same thing so Paige and Ryan were asleep and when I finally went down he texted me one final time and said “I love you”. And we ended at that. That was the best “goodnight” I had ever gotten.
