[ TT ] A dinner date between a tech billionaire and a supermodel

Hi. 
 
 
 Hi, Jane it's really great to meet you in person. 
 
 
 Likewise. 
 
 Hi there, my name is Luke and I'll be your server today. Can I interest you in a beverage while you look at the menu? 
 
 I would love a glass of red wine. 
 
 Any preference? 
 
 I am always so bad at choosing, what's your recommendation? 
 
 The 2010 Altagracia is a superb choice 
 
 I'll have that 
 
 And for you, sir? 
 
 I'll have the same, why do n't we just get a bottle. 
 
 Great idea. 
 
 Perfect, I'll be right back with your wine. 
 
 
 Have you eaten here before? 
 
 
 Yeah, It's one of my favourites. I was excited you chose it. 
 
 
 Me too, have you tried the duck? It's unbelievably good. 
 
 
 No, I have n't yet, I might get that tonight. 
 
 
 I was thinking the same. 
 
 
 Would it be weird if we both ordered it? 
 
 
 Haha. No, I think it's kind of funny. 
 
 
 So Joanne told me you just got back from Madrid? 
 
 
 Yeah, I was there for a week for a shoot. 
 
 
 I loved Madrid one of my best friends bought a place there. He spends a good two months a year there. 
 
 
 You know something that I hate to say, I secretly hate the travel. Do n't get me wrong... 
 
 
 Here is your wine, would the lady like to taste? 
 
 
 I trust you, feel free to just pour it. 
 
 
 For sure 
 
 
 Do you know what you'd like to order? Or would you like some more time with the menu? 
 
 
 I think we are ready. 
 
 
 Let's start with the lady? 
 
 
 Sure, I'll have the duck please. 
 
 
 Great choice, and for you sir? 
 
 
 I'll have the same, except no tomatoes on the salad please. 
 
 
 Is it an allergy or a preference? 
 
 
 Just a preference. 
 
 
 No problem. And would you two like an appetizer to start? 
 
 
 I'm alright, would you like one? 
 
 
 No thanks, I'm alright. 
 
 
 Sounds good. 
 
 
 I ca n't believe you do n't like tomato, I love tomatoes. 
 
 Really? I'll never understand that. 
 
 Yep, ever since I was a kid. I'd eat tomato mayo sandwiches. It's a wonder I got into the business I did. Anyway, where were we? 
 
 
 Tomato mayo sandwiches. That is gourmet. You were saying something about Madrid? 
 
 
 Oh right. The travel. I am sure living there would be awesome, but I like being at home so much. I just wish I could plant some roots and sleep in my own bed more than 100 nights a year. 
 
 
 I know the feeling. I spent 158 nights in hotels last year. When I was younger I thought this was the dream life, now that I have it I sometimes miss my old life. Grass is always greener I suppose. 
 
 
 I totally agree. 
 
 
 This wine is excellent. Good choice in getting the recommendation, I never know what to pick. I never know why people always think rich people have such sophisticated palettes. When I was in my 20s the stuff I used to drink with my friends was better suited to strip paint. 
 
 Oh my god. When I was in college my girlfriends and I used to mix tequila and orange crush. I ca n't remember what we called it, Tequila something. Tequila Sunrise was just orange juice... Tequila Sunshine! We'd get so wasted on those. 
 
 
 You know it's funny. When Joanne said you and I should have dinner, I have to admit I was kind of sceptical. 
 
 
 Why is that? 
 
 
 You're a supermodel. I have met supermodels before but never really sat down with them. This is fun, we have more in common than I would have guessed. Despite the fact that you are so pretty people pay you for it and I most certainly am not. 
 
 
 Come on, you're being modest, you're cute. 
 
 
 I'll take cute, for sure. 
 
 
 The duck with no tomato for the gentleman, and here's yours miss. 
 
 Fresh ground pepper? 
 
 No, thank you. 
 
 
 Just a bit on the potatoes Thanks, that's perfect. 
 
 
 -- 
 
 
 Is n't it funny how when the food gets here, conversation stops. We must be hungry. 
 
 
 I was very hungry. The food came just in time, I was starting to feel that wine a bit. 
 
 
 Damn, I knew I should have told the waiter to delay the food. 
 
 
 Ha ha ha. Is that your move? Get me drunk. 
 
 
 I think if that was my move I'd have ordered some of those Tequila Sunshines. 
 
 
 That would be a good move. 
 
 
 Do you think they serve them here? 
 
 
 Somehow I doubt it. 
 
 
 Joanne said you only had time for a quick meal tonight, you're at some kind of party tonight? 
 
 
 Ya, sorry, I have to be at this L'Oreal product launch party tonight but it does n't start until 10:00. What time is it anyway? I forgot my watch before I left the house. 
 
 
 9:05. 
 
 
 Thanks. 
 
 
 How were your meals? 
 
 
 Excellent. 
 
 
 Very good, thank you. 
 
 
 Can I get you anything else? 
 
 
 It's about 30 minutes from here to your party. Do you want to do one more drink? 
 
 
 I better not. 
 
 
 Just the cheque, please. 
 
 
 I'll tell you what. Why do n't I give you my number and we'll do this again sometime. 
 
 
 I think that would be great. 
 
 
 Here, I'll put it in your phone. 
 
 
 This was great, I promise next time I wo n't be so boring. Maybe we'll have some of those tequila drinks? Do you need a ride to your party, my driver is waiting and it's not out of our way. 
 
 
 Ooh. Your driver. 
 
 
 I know, I know. I try not bring it up but I ca n't ever find a cab and I get weird looks if I take the 1. 
 
 
 I have n't been on the subway in forever. I actually kind of miss it. But yes, I'd love a ride. 
 
 
 Thank you both, have a wonderful night. 
 
 
 You too.
