Cruz couldn't keep his eyes off of Rachel. She was stunning -- to the point he had no words and was left speechless while he handed over the coat and walked this beautiful woman to their table. It wasn't private but it was secluded enough they could probably have sex under the table and no one would notice. Not that would be happening or even was a blip on his radar, but that was just the nature of the place. It wasn't overly crowded there was room to walk and dance and people didn't have to listen in on anyone's conversation. If you were bored you would just have to find some other excuse to leave.
Rachel complimented him and he blinked. "Thank you but I do not do you justice. You are absolutely stunning." Not that she wasn't beautiful on a normal day, this was ... exquisite.
Their server came and asked them what they wanted to drink and Cruz ordered a mid range wine that he knew Rachel liked. He could go all out, but he opted for something he knew she'd like versus something expense. He wasn't trying to show off, at least not show off the price tag. He was here to wine and dine her at an expensive restaurant. And maybe... if he played his cards right.
"Order whatever you like, but the surf and turf is excellent. A perfect steak and the surf is this crab and shrimp type salad. " Cruz leaned forward and whispered. "Like tuna fish salad, but fancier" He grinned at her and leaned back to speak normally "I'm sure there is a fancy name for it. But it's heaven. My grandfather doesn't order anything else and won't let you either. But have whatever you want." He knew he was having what he always did -- thanks to his grandfather.
