Eve hated dates and even more she hated getting ready for dates because it took ever so much time to cover all her nasty scars and find the proper looking dress. Eve threw dress upon dress onto the bed and found fault in each one "Too trashy, too frumpy…eeck too Amish" she said looking at a rather dismal looking black dress in an uncomfortable linen fabric. She sighed and gave a frown at her leftover choices checking the clock once more she had forty-five minutes to get finished dressing and get down to Chez Rodolfo for her double slash blind date with Charlotte, Chris and his brother, it wasn't looking too bright but Charlie would understand if she was fashionably late 'wouldn't she' she thought to herself.
The whole table was bored to say the least they had been waiting a good ten minutes for the one member of this group who was late, yes it was stupid to be bored they had only just arrived fifteen to twenty minutes prior and that was just Charlotte and Chris who had gotten the reservation and waited for a table, Wyatt had barely made it two minutes before the time he was supposed to be there. "Is she really going to come or have I been stood up" Wyatt asked Charlotte impatiently wringing his napkin in his hands "Oh calm down she's a woman and we take time to get fixed up if you haven't noticed" she said gruffly completely annoyed by him at this time and a bit upset that Evie was late for a date she had set up, but she knew her friend had so many rituals to go threw to get ready that they went later to everything they wanted to do.
Eve sighed she hated dates, but she had thought this earlier already and it was getting old as is, she walked up to the maître d' "I'm here for the Halliwell party of four I'm the late fourth member" she said an uncomfortable smile on her face "I'm afraid I'm past fashionably late even for an French born English lady such as myself" she said with a small smirk, which got a smile out of the maître d' who was obviously French "No problem Mademoiselle we must make exceptions for ladies such as yourself" he said apparently having already looked her over and found her lovely, she blushed a slight shade of pink. Wyatt looked over his shoulder when Charlotte gasped and there he saw an angel no she must have been a goddess walking over to the table, her auburn hair had been done in beautiful curls and put up in an extravagant and complicated updo that must have taken hours to do and her very face seemed to glow in the light of the restaurant, not to mention the dress which was of the darkest midnight black with streaks of ivory at the bodice it looked like an old Victorian dress from some costume shop, but on her it looked ravishing.
"Forgive me my trespasses" she said sheepishly Wyatt could do nothing more than stare at her open mouthed so Chris said it first and for all of them "Your forgiven even for being late with a grand entrance like that…plus you've shut him up finally" he said with a laugh motioning to his brother who had finally regained the use of his faculties and was getting up out of his chair to help her into her seat "Your amazing looking" he squeaked out which elicited a secret wink from Charlie and a slight lowering of the corners of Eve's mouth "Thanks" she said curtly to him while deftly adjusting her skirts so she could sit properly, she disliked men who were so obviously entranced by her so this was a bad start of the date and an omen for the rest of the night. The four sat about the table making light conversation but one could tell that it was strained, though Wyatt was completely oblivious to the whole thing he couldn't tear his eyes away from her for more than a few minutes and she was growing weary of the whole date for more and more reasons. The food was lacking and she knew fine French food she had lived for it for more than a lifetime already and it was damn sure not actual French chefs doing the cooking no matter what one said and this irritated her more than the waiter who was serving them as he kept looking down the front her dress.
Charlotte had seen the glazed look on Evie's eyes and the irritated face she made, she knew she had to have a friendly intervention before the whole setup blew up in her face "I'm going to the powder room guys I'll be back… want to go with me Eve" she said and then added on the order to Eve and she had meant it as a direct order or else. As soon as they had made it out of the guys sight and within two feet of the ladies room Charlotte began her tirade of upset "You've been nothing but a spoil sport a few moments after you got here, you've been so cold and distant when a question was asked of you and your not even paying attention to your date" she said raising her voice slightly but not enough to get the attention of the other restaurant goers "I think you need to get your attitude in order Eve you've been alone so long you've walled off any enjoyment in dating" she said to her in not so much anger but disappointment "I have not I just don't like this place and he's so annoying with his staring at me I wish he wouldn't it's unnerving I swear…I'm sorry though I'm ruining your night am I not" she said the coldness had gone from her eyes and she felt truly bad for doing this to one of the few people who loved her for being her. "No your not ruining my night but I think this might have been the wrong place to have a first date I should have known a French restaurant would make you critique it more than others" she said putting a thin and well kept finger to her forehead as she felt a headache coming on but pushed it away with her mental barriers relieving the pain. Eve hugged the younger blonde she knew she was the cause of most of that headache but she hadn't lived this long to lose a friend before it was time to "Let's get back there and try to make it better I promise I'll try" she said with a sheepish grin as the two made it back to the table taking there seats once again, the two brothers raised there eyebrows at each other but didn't say a word or dare ask anything about what had gone on, they knew women usually went to the restroom in packs since they had more females in the family than males.
The date took a turn for the better and Eve showed a bit more attention to Wyatt, but it wasn't all that better she still showed a lack of true interest in him altogether but this time he didn't get totally ignored by her…then came the final insult and boy did everything go bad after this. It was all fine till the waiter finally made an appearance and stared down the front of Eve's dress one more time which was fine but, this time though he was pouring another tables wine and dropped the bottles contents right onto Eve's lap the red wine seeped into the front of her dress staining the ivory stripes a dull burgundy and she was seething with anger, she had kept this dress well maintained since the Victorian era and now it was most likely ruined by this bumbling fool. So Eve did what came first to her mind… she punched the guy and hard sending him flying a few feet away, splaying him across the floor looking like a black and white heap against the dark green carpet. Eve made an anger fueled exit from the place and left Wyatt, Chris and Charlotte scrambling after her, the men trying to pay the bill quickly as to not loose her but it was in vain because as soon as she had made it a few feet into the open air she teleported away in a flurry of gray and silver light going straight to her apartment where she began the process of striping herself of the dress and carefully scrubbing it in the bathtub tears running down her face the whole time.
