"I'm here."
"Me too."
I took a deep breath and checked my makeup in the visor mirror. I was nervous but excited. After all, it's not like I was meeting him for the first time, not really. We'd been snapchatting for months. But this was the first time we'd meet in person. I got out of the car.
Chris met me in front of the restaurant and smiled as he opened his arms for a hug. I laughed, almost with relief, and embraced him.
"So, we're finally doing it," Chris said. I tripped on the sidewalk and he quickly caught me before I fell over.
"Me and my 12 year old mind," I laughed. "Doing it." Chris laughed too. We were seated and were looking at the menus with a heavy silence overhead.
"Penny for your thoughts."
I smiled at him and answered,
"Don't you know dirty thoughts cost extra?" He smiled and winked at me.
When the waitress came over to pick up our plates, Chris said, "I don't know about you, but I'm having dessert." I ordered a dish of ice cream and leaned back in my booth, stretching my legs out to playfully put my feet up on Chris's knees. He jumped at first and I started to withdraw them but he grabbed my right foot and began to massage.
"Mmmmmm." My eyelids fluttered shut as I reveled in the feel of his hands. Suddenly, the waitress was there with our dessert and I shot back up in the booth like a guilty little kid. Chris grinned at me and I glared at him before smiling sheepishly myself.
We sat there in silence, eating our dessert. I was thinking about his hands on my foot and staring out into space when he said, "Are you doing that on purpose?"
"Hmm?" I looked at him with my eyebrows raised and my spoon halfway in my mouth. "Doing what?"
