*Meeting up at the Cafe*
Lissa : Sorry for making you wait. I wish you don’t get upset of my late.
Andre : It’s alright. It must be traffic jam, right? I wish I could pick you up from your house so you didn’t need to deal with the traffic jam.
Lissa : It's okay. I’ve got used to this traffic jam problem.
Andre : Alright, have a seat! You must be tired. Here I have ordered your favorite fresh juice. You can drink it. I know it must have been so thirsty of being trapped by the traffic jam at this hot day.
Lissa : Yes, you are right. Huh? I can drink this? Oh, Thank you. Uuh, It’s orange juice! I love orange juice. How do you know orange juice is my favorite? :)
Andre : Umm… you’ve ever said it to me once. Heii… you look sweaty. I will get you some tissues then. *Andre’s face is suddenly blushing red*
Lissa : You don’t need to. I bring my own facial tissues. Thank you.
Andre : Alright then.
Lissa : By the way, have you ordered your food?
Andre : No, I haven’t. I have waited for you so we can order foods at the same time.
Lissa : Well, that is so nice, Andre.
Andre : Okay, I’ll get the waiter – Umm... Mr!, I have decided our orders.
Waiter : What would you two like to order, lovebirds?
Andre : Um… um… I want a special chocolate toasted-bread.
Waiter : And you pretty lass?
Lissa : Uh!? Umm….. I want a strawberry toasted-bread.
Waiter: Very well, please wait. Enjoy your time, lovebirds!
(Andre’s and Lissa’s faces are blushing red as they hear they were called ‘lovebirds’ by the waiter)
Andre : I feel funny to hear that we were called lovebirds
Lissa : Me too... :D
Andre : Oh! I’d like to give you something. I wish you like it. *Andre takes something out of his pocket*
Lissa : Oh, really? What is it?
Andre : Here it is *Andre shows a pretty necklace to Lissa* I want you to have this.
Lissa : Wow, it’s beautiful. I can really have this?
Andre : Yes. It’s special for you.
Lissa : Oh… Thank you, Andre. It’s really lovely.
Andre : I’m glad you are happy with it.
Lissa : I will always keep this beautiful necklace as a gift from you in our first date.
Andre : That’s great, and I hope we can still have other lovely dates together.
Lissa : Yes. I wish so.
Andre : Uh…. umm… Lessa… Do you mind if I call you ‘Dear’ from now on?
Lissa : *Lissa’s face is blushing* Umm… well… I think that would be fine.
Andre : *Andre smiles under happiness* Thank you, Dear.
