She agreed to let him stay over the night before, and he nodded at that, figuring that would be easier and that they could go to the appointment together. He always hated the idea of Chardonnay going to appointments alone – he pictured her looking so uncomfortable and miserable the whole time.
”Okay, thanks – “ He said, watching as Chardonnay stumbled slightly on a rock. Instinctively, he reached out to grab her shoulder and steady it, but keeping his hold on her shoulder after she was steady. Another couple walked by hand in hand, and Arthur allowed his hand to slip down her arm and he slowly, bravely (maybe stupidly) made a move to grab her hand in his. Please don’t bitch me out, he thought to himself, and brought his other hand up to his mouth to hide the small flush beginning to form there as he nodded along to the talk about doctors. The sex of the baby... that would make this so much more real. He was nervous, but excited. He hoped to fuck his nervousness didn’t make his palm sweat in Chardonnay’s and force her to retract her hand.
He followed her gaze to the restaurant and was pleased to see that she looked happy. She said that restaurant was the reason she came here that one time, and he grinned to himself. Fuck yeah, he got something right! ”Yeah, I do. It’s for 4:30, so we have about an hour to relax out here before we have to head up. The hostess on the phone said we should head there for about 4:25 to confirm we’re there for dinner.” and then he gave her a look, ”Also, don’t think about paying, I’m paying, and before you say I’m cheap and won’t be happy paying I want to. This date was my idea, and I’m your boyfriend. So I want to pay.” He didn’t know if she expected him to, but he was determined! It reminded him of that first dinner they went to after her appointment and she had her friend cover the tab. He was going to pay for this dinner if he had to kill someone in order to do it. ”Did you ever get to see the sunset from this beach? I figured after we eat we can go wait down there. It should be at about six, I think, which should be the time we’re done eating there.”
