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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4Gza0TgRs
"Okay for starters, can I eat oyster?" I laugh.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMYMwrBqmK
"Of course so long as they are cooked" he smiles.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrmmYROpmx
"No raw fish" I say smiling and then go on to eye up the mains.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvNhofQqJq
"I'll join you with oysters actually" he smiles.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7pxO7sa3G
"Jay they have steak" I smile looking up at him.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeE97VyBdbW
"They do huh?" He smiles.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVn4mZXdbQ
"Mhmm" I say looking at the pasta.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8KR56A7xk
"Truffle pasta is a temptation that I cannot resist" I say handing him the menu.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9jH9OYm5n
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAasNTWHckf
"May I take your starters?" He asks
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1PQYgtFqt
"Two oysters" Jay says and then proceeds to order a whiskey for himself. He motions for me to order my drink.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGk4jrb0Kl
"May I have a virgin pina colada" I say.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTApraXmvE
"Certainly" the waiter says and promptly goes to get our drinks.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJGC6mN9VK
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQFVgmzLxO
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFY6dqvKIPJ
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDB8De2jkQG
"We should go to a museum, the musee de l'orangerie in Paris has some originals" he says softly.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnkGmwMQtG
"Oh you're going to have to say more French sounding things" I laugh.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgntT6Eojdh
"Why?" He chuckles
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sNgL3VlGY
"It was incredibly sexy" I smile keeping his eye contact.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3mhl1o2LI
"I can speak French" he laughs.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIJpDpctwO
"You can speak French?! Fluently?" I say laughing.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNHJzwGPlY
"Why is that such a shock to you, I'm not a total Neanderthal." He teases.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡujOR7dzMEn
"Prove it" I smile.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzP0mvswMJV
"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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rEUjX89Vp
"Oh I have no idea what you said, but I agree wholeheartedly because that was super hot" I laugh.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRe2kQqkkbw
"il fera super chaud" he laughs.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4kA7GhdOB
"What did you say" I laugh.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvY4wBptTi
"Taylor you are so beautiful I am going to make love to you all night long" he smiles.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogvuZVg6PO
"Mmmm" I smile looking down at my plate.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWs2K2ViRK
"I love that you have that skill, I can't believe I didn't know that" I laugh.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQGb2FKajw
"I'm full of surprises. Mum had me take French lessons, something about it opening up your options to know different languages" he smirks.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKDTfrjxhxn
"It sure does open up lots of options" I laugh.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiKxT6x8Hm
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.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbZqqPFQCC
After we have finished them Jay orders our mains. And we have another drink each.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHZcQax1ca
“What other hidden skills do you have” I ask him.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdadwJVoO59
“I think you know them all by now” he chuckles being modest.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcAj7bNxXC
“Oh I’m not sure that I do” I laugh.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgS1hvo3kt
“Okay” he smiles.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9HaxnyBdr
“I can do this thing with my tongue” he begins and I smile.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80q9Uxz90h
“Let’s see” I smile.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWFJUOFGHk
“I’ll show you later” he smiles and I blush.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPyVyFBC4a
“Ohhh I know that trick” I laugh.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqT71qxbMil
Our mains arrive saving him from my probing. Truffle pasta is my heaven, but truffle pasta here dining with Jay is even better.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4OWgEvyb5
“Steak good?” I ask him.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6SN1kRQQz
“Not as good as yours” he winks.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5Zn80Ji5G
“Such a charmer” I smile.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pYWzvaaPh
“How’s your pasta” he smiles
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iAG9KdsUX
“Far better than the truffle pasta I cook” I laugh.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06fCOZgZ8k
“Try it” I say scooping some up for him. I hold my hand under the spoon and feed him.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpc6t9Jjmvy
“Mmm” he says after he’s tasted it.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QycvQVMT6
“That’s very good” he laughs.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOCBA7rYvr
I finish before him and he looks up astounded, usually he would be finished way before me.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzh8Rb5kf1
“Here” he says and he places his fries in front of me. I can’t escape my hunger and I eat.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmw5K5ZQt8
Once I look up he’s watching me, smile spread across his lips.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNa4vlcOix
“Stop it, I’m gonna get fat at this rate” I laugh.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16mshx4Fuv
“No you’re pregnant” he says.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdD775CFXi
“I think that’s a myth” I say.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNblY8PYdL
“Eating for two” I laugh.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBunT9M31hC
“You eat as much as you like” he smiles.
86Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ2MMqIdvG
“Dessert?” He says and I smile.
