* I called it Luke and Doreen's dat for now. But when I maybe actually works, I could rename it as Luke and Doreen's romance, something like that. I don't have much inspiration right now, but I'll make my first post soon.*

Luke and Bo entered the restaurant. It was pretty classy. "How the hell did you know this place? I live in New York and I've never heard of it?!" Bo shrugged: "Oh, I just did Googled on your laptop." "Yeah, thanks for throwing the coke stain on the screen, by the way."
Luke looked nervous around. Bo noticed it: "Don't worry Lucas, she'll be here. Besides, I am the one that should be nervous. I'm about to meet my new sister-in-law." "Oh, first things first. Don't emberass me by telling 'nice' anekdotes of our childhood. "Okay" "Or our puberty!" "Okay" "Or last Christmas" "Oka...huh? What happened last Christmas?" "Never mind."

Doreen entered the restaurent. It was very classy and elegant. She hoped she brought enough money to pay half the bill. She looked around and spotted her date. Well, techically, dates but she'd still call it a date. She walked over to them.
"Hi," she said, smiling. "Wow, you look great, Luke."
She turned to Bo. "And you must be Bo. So nice to meet you."

Bo smiled, "Hello Doreen, nice to meet you to. I've heard a lot about you y'know." Luke said: "Oh well, only good things. You look great too Doreen. Have you done something different with your hair? It looks pretty."

Doreen smiled. "Yeah I curled it a little earlier on before coming here. You like?"
A waiter came to get them their seats. Doreen took a seat across the Versteeg brothers, looking at them. It's hard to believe that they were related. They looked different from each other.
"So, how are things going with the Versteeg family?"

Luke answered: "Well, you know how I'm doing." Bo smiled: "As far for me, I'm doing great. I just got rehired at my last job, with a bonus. For some reason I'm never fired for a long time, they always want me back. And for the rest of the family, eh..." Bo hesitated and Luke gave him a weird look. Bo continued: "Eh...They're all fine. So Doreen, how are you doing? I'm really curious about you. By the way, sorry for my English, I can't just get the accent right."

"Nah, don't apologise," said Doreen. "I'm part Italian but I don't have the accent, even when I speak it."
"I'm fine, thanks for asking," she said. "So, what brought you to New York?"

Luke said: "Italian? Cool, I never knew that."
Bo answered: "Well, Luke of course. And I've been dying to come here, it's one of my favourite places to travel to. So Luke's divorce kind of came in handy, it gave me a good reason to come here. Just kiddin'." Luke and Doreen both smiled. "I'm gonna go to the men's room, if you don't mind", Bo said.
When Bo went away, it was immediately silent. This was exactly why he was present at this date. "So, what is your first impression of my little brother"

"Well, you know now," said Doreen, laughing. "The other part of me is Canadian but I don't speak French."
As soon as Bo left, everyone grew silent. Then Luke asked her what she thought of his brother.
"He's nice and friendly. Very likable. I cannot believe that he is gay!" she said and Luke laughed.

Luke laughed. "No one can! When he came out to me, I thought he was joking. When he was still being serious about it three weeks later, I understood that he wasn't. It was weird in te beginning, but it didn't change anything, luckily."
Luke took a look at the menu: "Let's pick something out, shall we? I haven't had lobster in a long time. What do you like?"

"Italian food," she said. "But seriously, I'm happy with just any type of food as long as it's good."
She studied the menu. Her eyes wandered over to the price of the food and her eyes grew wide. The food was really expensive! She hoped that the restaurent had something good at a decent price.

Luke suddenly felt a bit awkward. He had no idea the prices were this expensive here! How could Bo pick this place out?
Bo came back from the bathroom and Luke asked him in Dutch: "Eh Bo, this is really just too expensive. I feel ashamed towards Doreen, don't want her to pay this!" Bo said in English: "Don't worry, I pay it all." Luke and Doreen gazed at him. "How the hell can you pay this?" "I worked a lot." Luke laughed: "Yeah right."" "Seriously. I've had 3 jobs last year. Don't give me that weird look, I can be a hard worker as well!" "Okay if you say so. But I don't want you to pay everthing, this is just too much." Luke turned to Doreen." "Wanna be impulsive and go to the Burger King around the corner?"

Doreen shrugged. "Hey, I'm up for anything. But we better be quick if we don't want the waiters to see us or else they will think that we're idiots."

Bo laughed. "Okay, let's get out quick." Luke, Doreen and Bo quickly left the fancy restaurant. When they were outside, Luke asked: "Did we forget anything? I hope not, we can't get back in there now, haha."

"Nope," said Doreen, checking her purse. "Everything's here. Now, how about those burgers from Burger King?"
She looked down at her fancy outfit along with Luke's and Bo's and laughed. "I bet we'll get weird looks going into Burger King dressed like this. But I don't care. I'm hungry."
