We Are Bulletproof

Hey sweeet thing. :)
Had a good time last night!
How about we get together tonight?

Man oh man, were these danishes tasty. Alvaro licked his lips and then made sure he got everything before wiping his face with a napkin. He forgot how good this place was because, well, half the time he didn't come here. It wasn't in his neighborhood. He'd only come because he had to kill some time before...

Oh shit! Checking the time on his phone, he realized that he was late for the big dinner date thing.

His problem was that he still didn't have a date. He'd dressed to kill for it and everything. (Not literally) But his mother was fully expecting him to bring somebody for her to meet... because he was going to meet his mother's new man.

She hadn't dated in a long time. Like, since his dad died. The fact that she was moving on was huge and now Alvaro felt like an ass for not taking this seriously. It was just that the date he did have lined up had to cancel last minute, leaving Alvaro on his own.

He spied somebody sitting by themselves in the next booth. Making sure to brush off any crumbs and check that his tie was straight, he walked over, all smooth like and he smiled--also all smooth like.

"Hello, I couldn't help but notice you're here on your own," he decided to start with because Let's go on a date right now seemed too aggressive.
