Giselle POV:

Rose led me to her car during lunch. She had offered to take me out to get something to eat. Immediately, I responded yes.

I was shocked when she had emitted to being jealous. She had no reason to be, I have been in love with her for three years, not that she knew that. Cara was great, but she did not compare to Rose.

Rose had driven her own car today, rather than having her driver take her to school. She was being so sweet today, despite the incident with Cara.

She opened the passenger door for me to get and asked me if there was any specific place that I wanted to go to. I told her she could choose.

Once she got into the driver's seat, she drove off.

"Where are we going?" I asked as we drove through the city, passing many restaurants.

"You'll see," she said with a smirk.

"Is it somewhere I have been before?"

"Hmm," Rose quickly glanced at me,"I don't think so. Just wait and see, okay, Ellie?"

I love it when she calls me Ellie, it makes me feel all tingly inside. Also, I love the red dress she's wearing, it complements her olive skin.

We arrived at Le Jourdain. I've never been here before, but assuming by its name, it's a french restaurant.

Rose hurriedly hoped out of the car and opened my door for me once again.

"Thank you," I said.

She smiled in response and hesitantly grabbed my hand. She paused and looked at me with a questioning look.

"It's okay," I said and entwined our fingers. Her rosy cheeks became a darker shade of red. She led me into the restaurant.

The waiter seemed to know who Rose was because he greeted her right away.

"Bonjour, mademoiselle. Right this way, please."

We followed him as he led us into a back room of the restaurant. The room was pretty, it was red and had a round table with two chairs in the center. A chandelier hung from the ceiling and paintings of France hung on the walls. The lighting was dim, creating an orange hue. The table was set up and there was a bottle of red wine on it. I have had wine on a few occasions, it has never been something I loved, but I didn't hate it.

The waiter gestured for us to have a seat. Rose pulled my seat out for me and pushed it in once I sat down.

He handed us our menus, poured us each half a glass of wine, and told us he'd be back in a couple of minutes to take our orders.

I felt under dressed for this fancy restaurant. Additionally, being with Rose, who looked like she just came out of a magazine, made me feel even more underdressed. As if she could read my mind, Rose told me I looked beautiful. My heart was going to explode with all her kind gestures towards me.

"What are you going to order?" She asked me as we looked through the menus.

"Um," I had no idea what any of these dishes were, "I'm not sure."

I read through the ingredients and said the first thing that sounded familiar, "I'll have La-," I saw the price, "holy shit!" Nevermind. I could not afford any of this.

"Don't worry about the price, I'm paying," she stated, casually looking through the menu.

"No, I won't let you pay."
