21 I Can Handle You Well Enough (1/2)

'I bet Boss was on a cloud nine right now.' He thought inwardly. Miss Raven was a stunning lady and no wonder his Boss was willing to wait that long. Lou can't help but stole glances at his rear view mirror.

Jordan coughed and spoke, ”You look great.”

”Thank you. You too, well, you always looked good.” Raven said shyly and smiled at him. She meant that. Jordan was really handsome in all aspect. Even he was just in a simple shirt and short.

Jordan caught Lou's glances and he frowned at him gesturing that he focussed on driving instead. He scratched his head because the Boss caught him. He must make sure to repent on it later.

Lou dropped them off at a restaurant near the symphony hall. It was a sophisticated and modern New England-French cuisine, with an emphasis on artisanal and New England ingredients. They both had the Chef's tasting menu with multiple courses including caviar and truffles.

The food was good and the two decided to head out and walked at the symphony hall thirty minutes before the concert time. While walking, Jordan can feel Raven's back hand brushed at his from time to time. He was hesitating if he would just grab it or do nothing at all.

But his impulse told him to the first so he quickly held Raven's hand. Raven looked at him while they walk hand in hand. He can feel her questioning eyes although she did not complain or utter any words.

So he just smiled at her and said, ”I will lead the way we are almost there.” Raven just nodded in return but still looked baffled.

Attending the symphony was such an exciting experience for Raven. There was just something about the magnitude and majesty associated with the whole dynamic of being there and being surrounded by others who enjoy good music.

They both enjoyed the performances. Jordan was so happy watching Raven's mesmerized face from the moment they entered the hall and her attentiveness of the show.

”The orchestra's performance was really superb,” commented by Raven while they walked at the park near her apartment.

”Glad you enjoyed it,” Jordan replied while he followed Raven's slow walking at the grass barefooted with her shoes on her hand.

Raven insisted not to go home yet. She wanted to see the view of the night sky and stars from the park and asked Lou to get them things. So with Jordan's hand was a blanket and bag of snack and drinks which was quite heavy he thought.

He messaged Lou that he can already leave seeing the car was still near at the park. Lou was smiling hard with his own ideas of repentance. He had remembered when Raven got drunk at the bar last time his Boss was on a very good mood the next morning.

The beers he bought had high alcohol content. He was sure his Boss will now forgive him at the minor incident earlier.

Meanwhile, Raven stopped walking and seemed to find a good spot. She looked at Jordan and smiled, ”let's stay here for a while.”

Jordan nodded and quickly put down the blanket and they sat beside each other.
