After a week of work, Friday had finally arrived. You flicked the sweat from your brow and put down the cloth you were using to wipe down the tables, when...

"Hey! I'm t-t-t-trying to eat here!" a voice cried out in anguish from another table as you realised what you had done and that may have just ruined his food.

"Oh, I'm really sorry" you frantically apologised to a little pig, wearing a blue blazer and red bow tie. "Do you want me to get You a new one?"

He looked up and saw the despair on your face and regretted being mad. "I-it's alright, I was almost finished anyw-w-way" he gave you a reassuring smile.

You felt relieved. Poor hygiene like that could cost you your job. Speaking of your job, you were done for the day and you just took any leftover dishes to kitchen to be washed before leaving the place to get ready for tonight.

It was finally time to leave and you rushed home as quickly as possible to get ready for your date tonight. You ran in front of a car or two on your way home, and the drivers probably thought you were a maniac, but you were a maniac who had a hot date on tonight.

"Oh my gosh!" Lola giggled as you came in the door, sweating and your hair a mess.

"What?" You panted.

"is it Friday already? Wow, sometimes you'd forget there was six days in a week! "

"That's probably because there's seven, Lola" you smiled. "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going for a shower"

you showered, dressed and Lola drove you there.

"have fun!" she cried and waved madly as you left the car.

"i will!" you grinned widely and waved back to her before entering the place.

"woah, fancy" you whispered to yourself as took your time to observe everything. You noticed all the tables, the music, the aquarium. Everything was perfect, the decor, the atmosphere. As you joined the queue to find your reservation, you could hear someone calling you from another table.

"(y/n)! Over here! " you heard someone cry. You looked across the room and saw that it was Speedy sitting at a table from across the room. You approached him. "No need to check for reservations, I already booked us a table in advance" he grinned. He was wearing fancier attire than from his usual outfit, but still wearing his sombrero.

" Oh, that's great! " you smiled and seated yourself. "I must say, you weren't lying when you said I'd like this place"

"I know, nice, isn't it?"

" very"

"Not so much as my lovely date though"

You brushed a hair out of your face and smiled as your face flushed a bright red.

"So, you got your purse back?"

" I did"

"Ees everything there? Nothing's missing?"

" No, everything is back in perfect order and you know that! We see each other at work everyday"

"I know" he shrugged. "But I just wanted to check you were fine, you know"

"Well thanks. I appreciate your concern"

" how's your plans on moving out coming along? " he suddenly asked.

" Uh, slowly but surely. I don't have enough to move out any time soon though. Why do you ask? "

"Just wondering"

The waiter then arrived and you both ordered. His meal, of course, consisting of plenty of cheddar.

The two of you are your meals and talked. You had all this free time from your busy lifestyles to get to know each other better like this. You found out a lot more about him and as your talk went on, you found yourself falling harder and harder for him.

"What part of Mexico are you from?" You asked. His heritage was obviously no secret, but you wanted to know more.

"Juarez. I haven't actually been there in a while, but I plan on visiting soon" he responded.

"Oh, nice. How long do you plan on staying?"

He blinked twice before he answered you. "Oh no, you're forgetting who you're talking to! I could go there right now eef I wanted, but I'll visit when I'm not working or spending time with you" he smirked.

"You're making me blush now" you laughed.

"I can see that. (Y/n), I have a question for you"

your pulse was now racing. What was it?

"We've already been on two dates and we know each other pretty well"

"True" you nodded, wondering where he was going with this.

"I just wanted to ask...will you be my girlfriend?" He smiled brightly. His eyes sparkled when he said this and his heart was fluttering.

"Yeah! I would honestly love that!" You replied as you reached out, put your hands on the table and held his.

"Perfecto! I can't wait till everyone knows about us!" He laughed. You thought he could've taken off and danced round his sombrero for joy, but he managed to control himself.

"I think it's time I was leaving now" you smiled softly to him.

"Si, me too. See you on Monday, (y/n)"

"Can't wait" you giggled as you both departed.

You noticed something strange as you left the restaurant and walked out into the cool, cold, starlit evening. Lola's car was there.

"Lola? Is that y-"

"(y/n)! Omg! I saw it! He asked you to be his girlfriend! That's so adorable!"

" You were watching me?!? " you choked in astonishment.

"Every moment."

" But why? " you asked, half of you not really wanting an answer.

" because you two were so cute together! "

You muttered something under your breath and tried to hide how red your face was now turning as you put your seatbelt on.

"Where to now? Oh my gosh, I'm like a sofa or something!"

" Home. And it's a chauffeur "

"What is? "

"Can we please just go home?" You asked with a weary smile.

"Have it your way"

On the way home, you couldn't stop thinking about how perfect everything went. As you looked up at the stars in the dark sky, you replayed all the events of this wonderful night and how adorable your new boyfriend is.

I could get used to that. You thought to yourself in a dreamy sort of voice as you imagined how great being girlfriend to the fastest mouse in all of Mexico was going to be.
