Great Chicago Pizza at Connies
Posted on February 3, 2010 - Filed Under Entertainment
The day had finally arrived, Jen and Travis were going to go on their first date. They had been secretly eyeing each other for over six months when it was by chance that they happened to be at the same party and a mutual friend, Tina, ended up kind of forcing them together. It wasn’t anything overly romantic or exciting, there was just a small group of people talking about having just seen New Moon. Well, they were talking about a lot more than that. They were talking about the books and comparing it to the movie and talking about the various performances and then differences in the mediums. Travis is the one that brought up the subject by casually mentioning that he had just taken his little sister to see it at the AMC Loews on Michigan and was talking about what a rave everyone seemed to be making of it. He had never heard of it until his sister talked him into taking her and was amazed at how many people seemed to be obsessed with it.
Jen hadn’t seen the movie but she overheard part of the conversation and noticed the small gathering of people so she thought she could get closer to Travis and joined in, as an observer not participant. At one point it became clear that Jen and Travis where the only two who had never even heard of the book series or the movie. That’s when their friend Tina made such a todo about it and said they must be the only two people in the world that didn’t know about the Twilight Series and sarcastically told them they would have to get married because no one else would have them.
Well, due to the mutual, yet undeclared, feeling between them, that was enough to release them from the Twilight conversation and they started talking alone. Of course after a few minutes had gone by and they were still engaged in an intimate conversation, Tina shouted at them to get a room, which embarrassed the two so they stepped outside. By the end of the evening Travis had finally summed the courage to ask if Jen would like to get some pizza or something, that was all he could think of, the following weekend. As if it weren’t a kind of odd suggestion, Jen immediately said that it sounded great and then hoped she didn’t sound to eager. And so the following weekend arrived and Jen and Travis had their first date at Connie’s Pizza, which coincidentally happened to be their favorite. They shared an order of buffalo style Calamari and then a deep-dish bbq chicken pizza, which also happened to be both of their favorites. It was beginning to seem like maybe they were in fact made for each other.
