Of All The Diners, In All The World...

Chapter Two

Following Ellen's advice, Kate waited until the next night before she called Crowley.

When he picked up the phone, she could barely breathe, but after quickly regaining her composure, she got up the courage to talk to him. He'd been to the diner that day while she was washing dishes in the back, and she was sorry she'd missed him because he intrigued her so much. She couldn't control her shaking, so she sat herself at her kitchen table, trying to calm her nerves.

"Hello?"

"Hi...Crowley? It's Kate from Harvelle's diner..."

She could practically hear the smile on the other end of the line. Then he chuckled and the sound of his voice sent shiver after shiver coursing down her spine. She wasn't sure about where the conversation would go, but after he'd visited the diner while she'd gone out shopping on her break, she realised she'd missed him, and considering that she'd only spoken to him once, it was rather weird that she should miss him.

"Ah...I was wondering whether or not I'd hear from you." He told her, "I hope I wasn't being presumptuous or forward leaving my number...But...I really wanted to get to know you more...I still do."

"No, I'm glad you did..." Kate said quietly, "I want to get to know you too."

There was a silence for a small period of time and Kate wondered whether to say something or not, but luckily he spoke first, because she had nothing in her mind to say. She smiled as he spoke, his voice rich and just so sexy it made her feel weak all over. She bit her lip and closed her eyes at how nervous she felt, feeling like a teenager all over again.

"I was wondering if it would be possible for me to take you out to dinner." He said softly, "I was thinking perhaps tomorrow night? Would eight be a suitable time?"

"Eight would be perfect." She said, blushing slightly, "Thank you."

She gave him her address for him to pick her up and they ended their conversation, leaving her shaking with anticipation. She grinned and hurried to her wardrobe to make sure she had something nice to wear. Her lucky dark pink dress hung in the wardrobe, still without creases apart from the pleats in the floating skirt that only just touched her knees. She smiled softly, reaching out to touch it and smiling at the smoothness of it.

"Stay lucky for me." She whispered, "Pretty please."

Kate was just applying the last of her lip gloss when the knocking on the door sounded, and in her excitement to get up she almost tripped over the leg of the stool she'd been sat on to do her make-up. Hurrying to the door, she straightened out her hair and dress in the mirror by the door before opening it to see none other than Crowley standing outside, leaning against the door frame with a smile on his face, which wavered slightly as he looked her over.

"My God, you look gorgeous." He told her, earning a blush and a giggle as he revealed a bunch of flowers from behind his back, "For you, darling."

"Oh, thank you." Kate breathed with a grin, "For the compliment and the flowers."

She leaned forward and kissed his cheek lightly, going to put them in some water and inviting him inside. He looked around the apartment and smiled at how tidy it was. He didn't like a freakishly neat girl which was why he grinned when he saw the organised chaos that was her coffee table.

"You're looking very handsome." She said softly as she daintily arranged the flowers.

"Thank you." He replied with a smile, watching her grab her purse and her jacket as she turned out the lights.

"So, where to?" She asked as he helped her into her jacket.

"Wherever you want." He replied as they set off walking, "I thought I'd leave the choice to you."

The two walked and talked as they went. Kate found out that Crowley was thirty-seven, and that he worked in business and made lots of expensive deals during his day. He found out about her brothers and they talked about their likes and dislikes, which included their likes and dislikes with regards to food. They settled for dinner in a small Italian restaurant and afterwards they headed to a nightclub for drinks. They talked about their childhoods, told funny stories about past experiences and Crowley managed to tell a few jokes and make her laugh. Eventually they ended up on the dance floor, slow dancing to Video Games by Lana Del Rey. Crowley kept her close as they rested cheek to cheek, and he smiled as she began to sing along.

Eventually, they pulled back to look at each other, and as Kate gently stroked his cheek, Crowley leaned forward and gently pressed his lips to hers. She raised an eyebrow as they kissed but completely relaxed as he pulled her closer. Their hands were running over each other, bodies pressing closer as their lips moved more against each other's, kissing deeper and exploring the other mouth the most they could. Breaking apart, they smiled at one another, and shared another soft kiss, holding onto each other as Kate rested her head on his shoulder.

"Wow." She breathed, both of them letting out a laugh as he took her hands and kissed them, "You've got gloss on your lips..."

She reached up and stroked her thumb over his bottom lip, blinking up at him a little tiredly as he stroked her cheek and pressed a kiss to her hair.

"Would you like me to walk you home?" He asked, "Or shall we take a taxi back and I'll walk from your place?"

"Let's walk." Kate said sweetly, "I like to walk."

The two left the nightclub almost immediately and set off walking linking arms. The night air was slightly cold, and Kate tried her best to stop shivering as she pulled her jacket around her. To her amazement, Crowley simply reached around her and pulled her closer to him, rubbing her arm to warm her. Arriving at her door, they shared another kiss, deep and slow, and Kate gently caressed his cheek before turning to unlock her door.

"Thank you for tonight." She whispered, "It's been wonderful."

"Thank you for coming." He replied, "It'd be nice to do it again."

"It would." Kate answered with a smile, biting her lip and fighting her urge to ask him in for a coffee...Then proceeding to fail, "I don't normally do this, but..Would you like to come in for a coffee?"

"Oh...Um...Yes, thank you." Crowley smiled, stepping inside after her as she closed the door turning on the lights and taking off her jacket, hanging it on the hat stand she had by the door.

She took his coat and hung it up too, setting off the coffee maker and retrieving two mugs from the cabinet above it. She heard him approach her and was about to ask him if he wanted to take a seat, but instead she felt his arms wind around her waist as he pressed against her back just a little, and kissed her cheek.

"You look stunning." He told her, "You're so beautiful."

"You want sugar?" She asked, trying and failing to hide her smile.

"Two please." He replied, "Thank you. You're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. I can't wait to take you out again."

Kate turned in his arms and looked into his eyes, leaning forward and kissing his lips quickly as she ran her hands up his back and allowed him to kiss her for a little longer. They ended up pressed against the counter sharing kisses and giggling like naughty teenagers until Kate caught a glimpse of the time.

"It's getting late." She whispered, "More like early actually."

"Maybe I should get going." He said, trying to hide his disappointment, "I'll call you tomorrow."

"Sure thing." She replied, pressing her lips to his again as they made their way towards the door, kissing as they went, "Let me know you're home safe."

"Of course." He said softly, "Goodnight, Kate."

With one final kiss, Kate pulled him into a hug and stayed there just a few moments more.

"Goodnight, Crowley."
