We got into the car. I was relieved he didn't open the door for me.
                              
"I know it's cheesy to say this but you look beautiful." Chase smiled but kept his eyes on the road.
                              
"You're right, that's cheesy. I was surprised you didn't open my door earlier." I snorted.
                              
"I don't think you would've appreciated that." Chase replied. Huh. He knew me better than I'd thought.
                              
"You're right. And you don't look that bad either. I mean obviously I'm the prettier one but you'll do." I joked.
                              
"Funny. I don't like the whole door opening thing either. I mean, you're not disabled or anything. I don't see anything romantic in opening a fucking door." Chase started ranting. Whoa there.
                              
"What is your idea of romantic then?" I asked him. He kept silent for a minute.
                              
"I don't think I have an answer yet. I'll get back to you." He said eventually. I guess it was a hard question.
                              
"Okay, can you at least tell me what we're doing tonight?" I decided to change the subject. Plus, we'd been driving for ten minutes and I didn't know where we were heading.
                              
"Dinner and a movie." Chase said.
                              
"Really? How original." I couldn't hide my disappointment. That was such a cliche thing to do. Don't get me wrong, I love eating and watching movies, I guess I'd expected something different from Chase.
                              
"Don't worry, we're doing it Jill and Chase style" He winked at me. That sparked my curiosity. I decided not to dwell on it and just let it happen.
                              
A few minutes later Chase parked the car and we went inside a Chinese restaurant. I'd never been there before and I loved Chinese food.
                              
"It's an all you can eat buffet." Chase explained. All you can eat? That's amazing. I love those!
                              
A few minutes later we were sitting at the table with a mountain of food on our plates. We got lost in all the food so we both took pretty much everything so we could taste from both of our plates. Yes, we were definitely strategic and serious when it came to food.
                              
I noticed Chase had paid for both of us.
                              
"So I open the door myself but you pay for the food?" I recapped.
                              
"Exactly. If it bugs you, you can pay for the next date." He answered. It made me smile that he was already thinking about a next date.
                              
"Who says you're getting a second date?" I smirked. I could see he was getting a little uncomfortable. He was probably kicking himself because he had let that slide.
                              
"I didn't mean t-" I shoved an egg roll in his mouth to shut him up.
                              
"Dude chill, I'm messing with you. We'll see how it goes." He nodded while chewing happily on his food. Even with his cheeks filled like a hamster he still looked adorable. Damn him.
                              
We spent almost two hours talking and stuffing our faces with food.
                              
"If I don't stop eating now I'm gonna explode." I really overdid it. I was grateful I wasn't wearing a tight dress because I had a foodbaby.
                              
"Me too. I'm impressed with you though." He told me while eyeing my empty plate. Me too, I was pretty proud of myself.
                              
"What can I say? I'm dedicated." Chase chuckled.
                              
"Let's get out of here." He grabbed my hand and he only released to when we arrived at the car. It was getting cold outside and I was already missing his warm hand around mine.
                              
During the car ride we got into a heated argument about how mermaids would reproduce. It was very funny how passionate we both got about that.
                              
I hadn't even noticed Chase had stopped the car until he pointed it out.
