1st Date 🍷😂♥️

It was their 1st date

He was late of course

She was starting to feel like it was a mistake

But they made a genuine connection from what she remembered from the messages exchanged

She didn't want it to go in vain

Plus she heard that this place had some of the best wine but

She was getting tired of standing alone in the lobby

When she got a text message that read...

"I'm here, where are you?"

She looked up and didn't see anyone new

She looked back down to text back and that's when she heard, "Hey, YOU"

This instantly triggered a memory of her ex who used to say the same saying and she always hated it

She did her best to hide her disgust and was just relieved that his face and height matched what she'd seen on the app

She couldn't help but look mad after hearing the, ""Hey you" but squeezed out a smile to approve his tardiness

Sensing the tension he said, "Sorry traffic was bad..."

"Table for 2?" Said the waiter who knew that she had been waiting

Mr. Late was elated to escape the conversation and they followed the waiter to their table

"Can I get you 2 started with anything? Water? Wine?"

"Wine" they both said at the same time

The waiter smiled as they found some common ground

We currently only carry "Bright Cellars"

Our top selling selections are "Mojave Rain"

A red blend consisting of cherry, black raspberry, black currant, and vanilla

AND "Meet Cute", a merlot which consists of plum, raspberry, black cherry, and chocolate

"We'll take 1 of each!" said the man sitting in the seat across from her

She scoffed at his entitlement but didn't mind this time b/c she was also excited to try these flavors that the waiter described

The waiter left the table and the game had begun

Picture a montage of sighs and side eyes

Half laughs, Half truths, and Half lies

Along with other 1st date fake face "please like me back" small talk

Their attraction seemed to be cordial in the sense that they didn't mind each others company for the time being...

Honestly the waiter had described the wine so well that their taste buds were holding their tongues hostage

For just a drop of the "Mojave Rain"

OR

"Meet Cute" that could probably slay midnight cravings and sweet tooths

This daydreaming had gotten the best of them and left them in silence

Their conversation hit a brick wall

The quietness began to go from slightly romantic to weird

But just as things started to get awkward the waiter came back to save them in the nick of time with chips and wine

Here are 2 glasses of our Red Blend, "Mojave Rain"

And here are 2 glasses of "Meet Cute", our merlot

He placed 4 glasses in the middle of the table before asking, "May I ask a question?"

"Sure!" she said as the man across from the table gazed at the glasses

"Would you mind completing our wine surevey before you leave? The 2nd glasses are on me by the way :-)"

Said the waiter with a smile

The 2 of them agreed to the waiter's passive aggressive terms

They didn't care. They yearned this new experience and didn't want anything to interfere.

Anticipation for greatness had mounted

Not even the fountain of youth could quench this thirst

"Mojave Rain"...."Meet Cute"

**Slurp, *sip, *sip

Rhythmic chants of, "mmm's and ahh's" and "YES!" ...​

Some of the other restaurant guests regretted bringing their children

Because they continued to let out these sounds that were similar to sex for the rest of the night

Nothing else mattered, not even the rest of this story

The wine shattered their expectations leaving them in a state of bliss...

THE END
