Truly, Madly, Deeply

Three Strikes

Louis's POV
We pull the parking lot and I can tell that its packed. Oh yea, we're at a five star Italian restaurant. I pull in and I get out, and help her out. I really hope Harry's three strikes rule works. We navigate through the ground of people and to the counter.
"Reservation under Tomlinson,"I say to the lady.
"Sorry Mr.Tomlinson," she says after typing and scrolling. "Nothing for Tomlinson today,"
"What?! I swear I reserved ig last week. Are you sure it's spelt right?" I ask.
"T-o-m-l-i-n-s-o-n?" She asks. I shake my head. " Sorry Sir.Maybe you reserved it for tommorow?" She asks checking. "Oh yes Tomlinson. For tommorow at 8." She said.
"Anway to change that to today?" I ask.
"Nope," she says, popping the p. Great, strike one.
We walk back to the car and I open the door for Kayla and get in.
"I'm so sorry Kayla," I say.
"Its cool. Everyone makes mistakes ," she says. I know its not cool.
"Do you wanna catch a film at the theatre?" I ask.
"Sure" she says.
When we get there she stays in the sitting area and I get the drinks and some popcorn. As I'm walking back to our seats, some jerk trips me, and the pop and popcorn (A/N I made a funny. Pop and popcorn haha! No, not funny? Well at least I'm not a comedian) all over her lap . She gasps in horror.
"I am so sorry," I say. She just nods. Sugar Honey Ice Tea (A/N read the capital letters) strike two. Great. We watch the film in silence. I drive her home And walk her to the door step.
"Sorryfor tonight. I'm not usually like this" I say.
" its okay. Besides all the bad parts I had fun" she said.
I know it was a long shot but I leaned in to kiss her.

"I don't kiss on first dates," she said. I nodded. That was my third strike.
"See you tommorow." She says. I look at her questiongly . "You didn't get out of the dinner date that easily," she said. Take that Harry three strikes, and I'm still in!
Kayla's POV
EWWW! He almost kissed me! Eww I think I puked in my mouth a bit. Hopefully they got some pictures. Talk about terrible dates. Tommorows better be better. Or I may not be able to keep this up. And absolutely positively no kissing. Just the idea...ewww.
