I walk up to the hostess stand at Mon Ami Gabi in Paris, Las Vegas. I researched the shit out of all the hotels around the Bellagio, I know its cliché, but I want to take Layla to see the fountain. I have timed our reservation perfectly and asked for the perfect table, so the fountain show will go off during dinner. Hopefully, she enjoys it.

“I have a reservation for two, it’s under Daniel Webb.” The hostess looks down to locate our reservation. “Right this way, sir. Please, follow me.”

We follow the hostess toward our table, everything is exactly as I requested. A vase of white lilies is in the center of the table, and a bottle of champagne is chilling. I pull Layla’s chair out for her and then walk around the table and take my own, the hostess places menus in front of both of us before returning to her place in the front of the restaurant.

Before opening my menu, I glance over at Mama. She has a sly smile on her face. “What?” She just shakes her head and opens her menu, I try to ignore the look, but I just can’t let it go.

“Mama, come on. What was the look for?”

She takes a sip of her water before placing her menu down in front of her. Our waiter comes over motioning toward the bottle of champagne, giving him a nod, he pops the cork and begins to pour both of us a glass.

“Are you going to answer me?” I ask again, before placing my own menu down.

“Would you like to order?” the waiter asks.

“Yes.” “No.” We both respond at the same time. Mama raises her eyebrow. “Yes, I would like the chicken and mushroom crepe with brie and kale.”

“And for you Sir?”

Before I have a chance to respond, she tells him, “He will have the salmon with quinoa, wild rice & barley.” Taking both of our menus, he gives us a small bow and heads toward the kitchen.

I take a sip of my champagne and look out the window, I hate that she thinks I can’t even order my own food. Does she think I’m a fuck up like the Team does? Have I come across as an idiot?

Staring out the window, I stop thinking to take in the magnificent view of the fountain. The sun is just starting to set, the show should start anytime now.

“What made you choose this place, Daniel?”

My head snaps in her direction. Just hearing her say my name has me adjusting myself in my seat.

I wonder if I could get her to scream my name?

“I did some research, it has the best food in town,” I respond before taking another sip of my champagne.

We both enjoy the view, waiting for our food to arrive.

“Are you going to continue to pout like a child, Daniel?”

“I’m not pouting.” In reality, I am. I want to be someone she can depend on. Someone that can take care of her, she didn’t even think that I was man enough to order my own food.
