Henry was a kind man, and when Krymzon had finished explaining her story, the food had arrived.

The waitress set down the Italian foods on the table, and left us to 'bond'.

There was a pizza with sausage meat, cheese and jalapeños, Krymzon noticed Henry's face light up at the sight.
He must like pizza and awful lot. Same.

Besides the pizza, there was a bowl of wet garlic and pinenut risotto. Mmm... Smells good, reminds me of my parents' wet garlic risotto. Haven't had that in a while.

The third, and last, dish was spaghetti and meatballs. With basil. Nice.

Henry looked up at Krymzon, "You watched 'Lady and the Tramp'?" He asked. She nodded, of course she had, and she had a pretty good guess at what he was thinking.

"You thinking about the spaghetti kiss?"

"Uh huh." He grins, his eyes shining.

"No you won't." Said Krymzon defiantly.

The actor shrugged his shoulders and picked up the pizza cutter.
After carefully cutting up the pizza into four pieces (it was small). He offered her one.

She took it and ate a bite. The warmth of the chilli spread down her throat.

He also took a bite out of his slice, but, not knowing about the jalapeños, immediately regretted it.

"Wow, that's hot!" He exclaimed. Reaching for his water and gulping it down.

Krymzon chuckled, "The chilli took you by surprise? They are hotter than I'm used to."

He nodded, choking and coughing.

"I could take them off for you?" She offered.

"Thanks."

She grabbed a fork and took the offending jalapeños off of the poor man's pizza slices and put them on her own.

"You really going to eat them?" He asked, worried.

She took a few off again, "You're right, even I can't take that mutch heat."

After the chilli incident, they ate the risotto, or rather, they took turns feeding each other.

After Krymzon gave Henry the last spoonful, he leaned over and he whispered, "I like you already."

When the spaghetti was eaten happily and quickly, (with no kissing involved), Krymzon stacked the plate, bowls and cutlery and pushed them to the side of the table.

Henry shuffled his chair closer to hers and got out his phone.

Before Krymzon could stop herself she blurted, "Shiny!"

They both paused and looked at each other.

Oh no! I blew it.

Henry looked bemused, until he smirked and scooted even closer.

"You like my phone eh?" He asked.

Krymzon nodded, not trusting herself to speak.

"Here." Henry pushed the white Huawei P9 phone with his signature on into her hand.

She looked it over, rubbing the smooth back lovingly.

Then she gave it back to him, avoiding skin contact with him.

It is beautiful, I wonder how good the cameras are compared to what Huawei say they should be like.

Henry flashed a smile at Krymzon, grabbed her hand and then kissed it.

She jerked back and almost pulled her hand away.

"I'm sorry... I'll say when next time." Henry apologised.

"That's okay, I just wasn't expecting it so..."

After paying for the meal, Henry took Krymzon's hand and gently guided her out of the diner and they walked side by side together along the pavement.

Krymzon stopped in front of a pub, "Hey, would you like a beer?"

She looked up at him. Standing next to him, she realised how small she was and how tall he was.

I only just come up to his shoulders!

Henry's face softened, "I do like my beer, but I'd rather miss a pint of Guinness than miss your company tonight."

After they walked around the block, they exchanged numbers and addresses to keep in touch later.

Krymzon's dad came to pick her up to drive her home after a quick chat with Henry.

It seems that Dad approves of Henry, Good!!!
