“Understood sir”.
Both very elegant men go to the reception of the place, but as Andy had already suspected, he needed a reservation.
“Miss, we are very interested in a table for two, my friend and I have a very important business to deal with and the site has been recommended to us”.
“No sir, I don't have months available” The receptionist responds kindly.
“Miss, please check, it doesn't matter that it's a hidden table, what we're really interested in is the local seafood” Andy takes out a two-hundred-dollar bill, and puts it in her hand, she barely opens her eyes like dishes for the tip.
“Sure sir, please allow me a moment, I'll be right back, I'll see what available table I can find for the gentlemen” She leaves with her back to them, Orlando looks at him incredulously, about five minutes later she returns with a smile from ear to ear for his triumph.
“Gentlemen, unfortunately I don't have space at the main tables, but I have one table left in the corner diagonal to the main one, you would only be missing the show a bit”.
“Perfect, you are very kind”  Andy closes his jacket and together with Orlando, they carefully enter the place, he realizes that Camille is sitting at one of the main tables, in front of the stage where a couple of singers, they play a sweet melodica suitable for the place, he sees how she is beautiful and radiant and waiting for the arrival of her companion, fortunately for him, the table that the receptionist had assigned him was right behind her, giving him the opportunity to observe everything he did without her noticing a bit of his presence.
“Gentlemen, I'll leave you the menu of the place, I'll be back with you in two minutes to receive your order” A young waiter approaches Andy and Orlando's table
“While we look at what to order, would you please bring me a bottle of red house wine and a single glass, Orlando, what do you want to drink?”
“A glass of water would be nice”  His driver is quite annoyed with the mere idea of ​​being in that place.
“Right away gentlemen” The waiter gets out of sight, while Andy unseemly observes Camille's table, he observes how she begins to feel anxious, he imagines that it is because her companion has not arrived.
About ten minutes go by and Andy is already drinking his glass of wine, he has ordered something for dinner with Orlando and Camille is still alone, she would have loved to accompany her, but she knew she was waiting for someone otherwise she would have already ordered a dish. When his table was served some thirty minutes later, he observed that Johnny entered the place, he was dressed very simply in blue jeans and a white T-shirt, for Andy, he was not a man who was Camille's profile, it is seen that neither she didn't even bother to get ready for the date.
Meanwhile at Camille's table...
“Hello, you have taken too long to arrive! I came to think that you would not come” Camille coldly greets Johnny as she takes a sip of his wine. She can't help but look at him from top to bottom, because she was the one who invited him to dinner and told him how he should dress at the restaurant, she didn't ask him to be perfect, but she did ask him to show a little interest.
“Excuse me, there was traffic” He sits next to her, the annoyance between the two was notorious that they didn't even greet each other with a kiss on the cheek.
A waiter approaches to take note of your order, both have looked at the letter and decide to order.
“I want a lobster in house sauce” (this was the most expensive dish in the place)- Replies Johnny
“For me some rabioles, thank you” Camille orders embarrassed.
“Do you want to accompany your dinner with a drink? The house wine is the best” the waiter hands them another letter with the drink’s menu, Camille shakes her head, but Johnny does take it without hesitation.
“Oh yeah! Bring us the most expensive wine you have”  he returns the letter to the waiter, I don't even count on Camille's opinion.
“I don't think the full bottle was necessary, with two glasses it had been enough, don't you think?” Camille's cheeks did not stop showing shame.
“I want to take advantage of the fact that we are in this place and since you have invited me, I want to take the opportunity to eat something delicious, if we came to this place it is because we have the budget, right sweetie”  he approaches and repulsively gives her a kiss on the mouth , Camille had just realized that he had been drinking.
During the following minutes an uncomfortable silence between the two of them became, it was noticeably that Camille was angry at the reaction of the one who was posing as her boyfriend, because she tried to break up many times, but he always returned with the blackmail that he could not live without her and that if she left him, she would very possibly commit suicide, leaving a tasteless, so if something happened to her, she would feel too guilty, but at the same time she felt that he was abusing those blackmails.
The waiter approached the table with the order, wine, and dinner, although she hoped that night would be romantic for both, Johnny was behaving like a total jerk, he began to eat with his hand, he didn't use the cutlery, and from one moment to the next, as in an act of rebellion, he began to drink wine directly from the bottle.
“Please, Johnny, could you have a little more culture? Look where we are” Camille couldn't help but reproach him.
“What’s wrong with you, sweetheart? I can eat as I want, besides, I never asked you for an invitation to one of these places, eat what you asked for and leave me alone” He puts a big piece of lobster in his mouth and keeps talking with his mouth full.
This causes Camille to immediately fall into revulsion, and she calls the waiter and asks for the bill. Johnny takes a big gulp of wine to his mouth, almost finishing the bottle in one gulp.
“I haven't finished. Why are you asking for the bill now? Let's go?”
“I don't want to be in this place anymore, we're going to leave, do you think?”
“I don't think so sweetheart, first I'll finish my dinner and then we'll leave, oh of course I also have to finish that fine wine you invited me” She can't help but roll her eyes.
“Well, you stay! Personally, I'm leaving here” Camille passes her card without even looking at the fact that the account amounted to more than 400 dollars and dead with anger she leaves there.
Johnny takes the bottle of wine and goes after her. He was furious at what she had just done to him.
“Come here Camille, what the hell were you thinking when you left me voted there?”
“Look Johnny, I really have made every effort to be with you, but you are a totally different person from the day you came to buy my mother's house, you have become a jerk, and above all an obsessive, but if I have something Of course, you don't feel love for me and the truth is that I don't want anything with you anymore, I hope you understand”.
“You are not going to leave me, remember that if you leave me I am immediately going to commit suicide and you are going to carry my death behind your back” Johnny's gaze had turned dark and somewhat deranged
“Look, I already told you, I'm not going to repeat it again, so please leave me alone!”
“Sweetie, forgive me, I promise I'll change for you, I'll be the same as before, I'll stop drinking, but please don't leave me”.
“I don't want anything with you anymore” Camille approaches the avenue and extends her arm to take a taxi.
But his world turned upside down when he felt that a strong blow had exploded against his face, Johnny took the bottle of wine he was carrying and smashed it hard at Camille. There everything was left without light for her, she lost consciousness and was left lying on the street.
