Date Night.
Alley and Sam loved to have special dates, so a few weeks ago they sat down together and wrote down special dates that they wanted to work through in order.
The list consisted of 20 dates, of which the two had already completed 2 items.
A few days ago, the two of them had picked out a difficult recipe which they had tried to cook.
In fact, it had turned into a big mess, making it impossible to even begin to get the recipe right.
However, Alley and Sam had found out that the two of them couldn't really cook, which is why their date tonight was at a pizza place.
Sam knew the owner of the small pizzeria, not far from Alley's flat, so the two had the pizzeria to themselves that evening.
The two of them were going to learn how to make a pizza together - hopefully this would be easier than cooking.
But Alley had a good feeling when she came to a stop in front of the small and cosy looking pizzeria and waited for Sam.
Alley had found out by now that Sam always arrived a little later than she did, but it wasn't because he was late.
It had a completely different reason. The Bengals player never came to a date without flowers, like now.
Sam approached Alley with quick steps, holding a small bouquet of Alley's favourite flowers that he had asked for on the very first date.
Sam was really thoughtful and Alley loved this little gesture incredibly about Sam.
"Hello Alley", Sam greeted Alley by pulling her into a short hug, then giving her a kiss on the cheek, making her blush slightly, before handing her the small bouquet of Alley's favourite flowers.
"Hey Sam," Alley returned the greeting, smelling the flowers, which once again smelled heavenly.
"Shall we go in?" Without waiting for Alley's reply, he had also opened the door for her gentleman like, so Alley quickly slipped inside.
Even though the pizzeria must have been closed for hours, the typical pizza smell still hung in the air, making Alley's stomach start to growl.
"I think we should hurry up with the pizza baking," Sam said with a grin, who had heard Alley's growling belly.
Alley looked around for a vase or something similar that she could use as a vase.
Because she didn't want the beautiful flowers to be broken by the heat in the pizzeria in the next few hours.
"Ciao" greeted the two of them the owner of the pizzeria, who first greeted Sam as a brother and then pulled Alley into a warm embrace.
"Do you want to start right away?" , the Italian asked the two, who introduced himself as Giovanni.
"I guess my flowers need water first," said Alley, who still hadn't spotted a vase.
"I'll take care of that. Why don't you go into the kitchen and put on the aprons I had set aside for you," Giovanni let them know as he took the flowers from Alley.
Alley followed Sam into the kitchen where they found the aprons and helped each other tie the apron at the back.
On the table in the middle of the room, Giovanni had already prepared a dough for each of them and various toppings for the pizzas were in small bowls on the table.
There was indeed a huge selection, so Alley was already thinking about what she would put on her pizza.
Shortly afterwards Giovanni came into the kitchen and showed them how to prepare the pizza dough professionally.
And indeed, Alley and Sam found out that they were more talented at this than at cooking.
--
"I guess my work is done. I'll leave you guys to it. You can just drop the key in my mailbox later," , Giovanni pressed a bunch of keys into Sam's hand before saying goodbye to the two of them and Alley and Sam were then alone.
Over the last twenty minutes the two had learned from Giovanni the perfect methods for making the best pizza dough, so there were now two perfectly and finished pizza doughs in front of each of them, waiting to be topped.
"Do you feel like listening to some music?" Sam asked them as he pulled out his mobile phone and seemed to connect it to the small Bluetooth box.
"Sure," Alley said and began to carefully spread tomato sauce on her pizza dough.
A moment later, after Sam had connected his phone to the box, he had started one of his favourite playlists and quietly the music enveloped the room.
So, quietly but with concentration, the two of them began to take care of their pizza toppings.
And in doing so, they realised how different tastes actually were.
While Alley's pizza had all her favourite toppings, Sam had spared no small amount of cheese, salami and pineapple, causing Alley to tear up.
" Pineapple on pizza? Really?" Almost shocked, she looked at the older man, who looked at her uncomprehendingly.
"What's wrong with that?"
"Pineapple just doesn't belong on a pizza. I'm really disappointed in you. Why are we dating again?" , Alley asked him playfully indignant while she just wanted to tease him.
Even though it was really a no-go for her to eat pineapple on a pizza.
Sam just rolled his eyes while a slight smirk formed on his lips and the two of them finished their pizzas and Sam put them in the oven.
So while Sam took care of the pizzas, Alley walked through the small and cosy pizzeria, which was decorated in an Italian style and immediately delighted everyone.
As she looked around, she still couldn't get over why they could put pineapple on their pizza when they had a huge selection of other foods.
And so Alley decided to tease Sam a bit as a kind of 'revenge'.
--
With the pizzas ready, Alley and Sam sat at one of the tables while a candle burned in front of them, and Sam told Alley what he was going to do with the rest of his football break.
Alley listened intently to the Bengals star as she reached for another slice of her pizza and bit into it with relish.
In fact, she hadn't thought her own pizza would taste so incredibly good.
"Shall we swap a slice?" Sam asked Alley a moment later, after he had finished his story.
Alley looked puzzled at her counterpart, who pointed at his pizza.
"Alley? Have you lost your voice?" Sam asked her again, while his opposite continued not to say a word.
Confused, Sam raised his eyebrow, while Alley just looked at Sam.
Had he done something wrong?
Or was it actually still the pineapple that was on his pizza?
Sam started to ask Alley a few more questions, but she didn't answer them and ate her pizza in silence.
But Sam spotted a small grin on Alley's lips, which made Sam stop worrying about whether he had done something wrong, because he knew that Alley was just teasing him.
And all because of the pineapple on his pizza.
But over the next few minutes, Sam began to be more and more bothered by the fact that the younger girl seemed to ignore him, so he couldn't stand it any longer.
He really wanted to talk to Alley, get to know her a little better and continue to enjoy the date, which had already been a complete success.
"Can you stop ignoring me please? I'm going crazy."
Sam started to pout slightly, whereupon Alley lifted his eyes and looked at Sam.
His pouting increased, whereupon Alley began to giggle, ensuring that her 'plan' was now noticed.
"Is this the punishment now for having pineapple on my pizza?" , Sam asked her sulkily, to which Alley nodded with a grin.
"Have you even tried this? It's really tasty" , he tried to convince Alley about the pineapple on his pizza.
"No, because it just doesn't fit" Alley answered convincingly, whereupon Sam held a slice of pizza in front of her mouth and asked her to try it.
And that's exactly what Alley did.
She chewed for a few seconds and took her time answering while Sam watched her carefully.
"It's quite good," Alley said, even though it tasted really good, but she didn't want to let Sam win, so she didn't tell him.
With a grin on his lips, Sam just nodded and the two of them finished the rest of their pizza while they talked and a successful date slowly came to an end.
And who knew what great things the next date would bring?
