We are greeted by front of house at the dining room. Everybody is dressed exquisitely smart and even the walls glitter and gleam.

There's a small live orchestral band and a pianist. Their music fills the room and I smile up at Jay. He looks down at me and squeezes my hand lightly. We're seated on a table close to the band, the waiter pulls my chair out for me and I smile and take a seat.

The tablecloths are linen white and they're several sets of cutlery. Jay passes me the menu first and I peruse it noticing that there are dishes on it that I've never even come across. And I cook myself.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAkfufL0yWL7
"Okay for starters, can I eat oyster?" I laugh.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAfl3NLaVvtv
"Of course so long as they are cooked" he smiles.
79Please respect copyright.PENANANT21cKFYWo
"No raw fish" I say smiling and then go on to eye up the mains.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAkg02X7unGr
"I'll join you with oysters actually" he smiles.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAS55dg79rvE
"Jay they have steak" I smile looking up at him.
79Please respect copyright.PENANADSEPsKRMEr
"They do huh?" He smiles.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAlZMmWSuVxR
"Mhmm" I say looking at the pasta.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAPaC66mvfEB
"Truffle pasta is a temptation that I cannot resist" I say handing him the menu.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAhH7TkCjJ6p
I watch him look over the menu, he's so confident and self assured. He takes one look and then sets the menu back down. The waiter promptly comes over to our table.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAoSu6jzZzHq
"May I take your starters?" He asks
79Please respect copyright.PENANA4UnIWh5x37
"Two oysters" Jay says and then proceeds to order a whiskey for himself. He motions for me to order my drink.
79Please respect copyright.PENANA0TcnBX7pnx
"May I have a virgin pina colada" I say.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAm9wwHEJ8uY
"Certainly" the waiter says and promptly goes to get our drinks.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAPX0Qx7nVIC
Jay lounges back exuding confidence. I marvel at him. The way he is always just himself. I suppose that he is used to places such as this; he grew up with wealth and privilege. It doesn't phase him, he could be chilling in his local pizza place for all he cares. Me however, I did not grow up eating out in places such as these, so whilst he is lounging and relaxing I am looking around the room like I'm in a museum. I always make a point of noticing the art in places.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAz0pbPt98Fn
There are huge paintings, the kind that are in gilded frames. I suppose they are originals, and I'm staggered by the amount of fine art there is in this hall.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAjWvn8Zwnlc
Jay catches my eye looking at a painting that looks as though it's in the style of Claude Monet. It's romantic and beautiful, the colours melting into one another.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAS088XIUJa9
"We should go to a museum, the musee de l'orangerie in Paris has some originals" he says softly.
79Please respect copyright.PENANATmCMAHckQi
"Oh you're going to have to say more French sounding things" I laugh.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAibBnKoeV1l
"Why?" He chuckles
79Please respect copyright.PENANA1aSvw7GSDN
"It was incredibly sexy" I smile keeping his eye contact.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6lXFKdfLH
"I can speak French" he laughs.
79Please respect copyright.PENANA12uoexMmPk
"You can speak French?! Fluently?" I say laughing.
79Please respect copyright.PENANA6Y15jQMlLx
"Why is that such a shock to you, I'm not a total Neanderthal." He teases.
79Please respect copyright.PENANA6EEEBxl1hF
"Prove it" I smile.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAL3rN6h36GG
"Taylor, vous êtes si belle. je vais te faire l'amour toute la nuit" he says softly his eyes watching mine. I melt in my seat.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAW0TLEhVba6
"Oh I have no idea what you said, but I agree wholeheartedly because that was super hot" I laugh.
79Please respect copyright.PENANANgVyGp2opC
"il fera super chaud" he laughs.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAfGTCkeBtIG
"What did you say" I laugh.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAi2GUhtkTOk
"Taylor you are so beautiful I am going to make love to you all night long" he smiles.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAW61jTUL19L
"Mmmm" I smile looking down at my plate.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAwQcJlAuwyB
"I love that you have that skill, I can't believe I didn't know that" I laugh.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAJg4DGt37fZ
"I'm full of surprises. Mum had me take French lessons, something about it opening up your options to know different languages" he smirks.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAUBVxljZcTl
"It sure does open up lots of options" I laugh.
79Please respect copyright.PENANA1J47XP4joS
Our starters arrive and Jay checks that mine are thoroughly cooked. They taste wonderful of course, I try my best to eat them delicately but the baby hunger takes over.
79Please respect copyright.PENANARUXLmqlRQ5
After we have finished them Jay orders our mains. And we have another drink each.
79Please respect copyright.PENANARN5s4ZlrI5
“What other hidden skills do you have” I ask him.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAJbzj0woFby
“I think you know them all by now” he chuckles being modest.
79Please respect copyright.PENANA4ItKgnov3K
“Oh I’m not sure that I do” I laugh.
79Please respect copyright.PENANA7eSO5oLvf3
“Okay” he smiles.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0SD54hrZp
“I can do this thing with my tongue” he begins and I smile.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAX6ty3lsp7c
“Let’s see” I smile.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAqtOaE9Lk8R
“I’ll show you later” he smiles and I blush.
79Please respect copyright.PENANABXvRuvRiUB
“Ohhh I know that trick” I laugh.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAsR2ac6GsRo
Our mains arrive saving him from my probing. Truffle pasta is my heaven, but truffle pasta here dining with Jay is even better.
79Please respect copyright.PENANADViPxTFQZz
“Steak good?” I ask him.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAoZv3Cf4Myn
“Not as good as yours” he winks.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAi2Nsf5BAst
“Such a charmer” I smile.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAZF2gYNeAqY
“How’s your pasta” he smiles
79Please respect copyright.PENANA5w3PE9NpIU
“Far better than the truffle pasta I cook” I laugh.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAWTdhiqIyII
“Try it” I say scooping some up for him. I hold my hand under the spoon and feed him.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAffslyzkc1V
“Mmm” he says after he’s tasted it.
79Please respect copyright.PENANA6x2Oh2ICt4
“That’s very good” he laughs.
79Please respect copyright.PENANA0hQqALsPjd
I finish before him and he looks up astounded, usually he would be finished way before me.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAfCwecvuOz9
“Here” he says and he places his fries in front of me. I can’t escape my hunger and I eat.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAwQMlCcXArw
Once I look up he’s watching me, smile spread across his lips.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAkEkYyRZ17c
“Stop it, I’m gonna get fat at this rate” I laugh.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAQfJi3bPyMa
“No you’re pregnant” he says.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAkT3RC6I6i8
“I think that’s a myth” I say.
79Please respect copyright.PENANApY8REfVtm7
“Eating for two” I laugh.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAxiaiPjB1dA
“You eat as much as you like” he smiles.
79Please respect copyright.PENANAvED6ITNKGl
“Dessert?” He says and I smile.
