Since decididing on a reception location was out of the way Laura, Fiona and Adam headed out for dinner. Laura was taking the couple out to a new place they hadn't been to yet.

"I really hope you like the food at this place" Laura says looking at Fiona. "I am sure Adam is going to love it" she continued

"Adam loves all food" Fiona joked

"No, I think this food will be familiar to him" Laura says seriously

"Well now I cannot wait. I was hungry before but now I'm starving!" He joked

The taxi pulled up to a small restaurant. Adam paid for the taxi and helped Fiona and her mom out. Laura lead the way into the place and as soon as Adam took one look around he was all smiles. Fiona seemed lost.

"Why are you so happy?" She asked Adam

"This is a puerto-rican restaurant... basically what my mom cooks" he replied

"Will they have that steak dish you made me?"

"Which steak dish?" He questioned

"The one you made me the first time I spent the night at your apartment" she grinned

"Bistec con tostones! Yeah I'm a hundred percent sure they will have it" he answered then looked at Laura "how did you find this place?"

"I did some research. Then I brought Fiona's father here to try for myself what Fiona loves so much about puerto rican food. I must say, it is heavenly" Laura says
Adam chuckles then quickly replies "you haven't tried my cooking yet Mrs. Coyne"

"Don't flirt with my mom Adam" Fiona joked

"I wasn't flirting!" Adam blushed

"Adam you are a flirt" Laura stated as she took her seat. Adam blushed a bit more.

-mmmmm-

Adam was eagerly awaiting his food. He ordered a jibarito which is a steak sandwich but instead of bread its fried plantains flattened holding the sandwich together. Adam hadn't eaten one in so long that his mouth was watering at the thought. Once the food was placed in front of them Adam stopped talking and focused on his food.

"Slow down, we don't need weighing three hundred pounds during the wedding" Laura stated

"I'm sorry. It's just been so long since I ate this" he replied

"He always eats like this. Don't let him fool you" Fiona said

"I didn't always eat like this" Adam smiled

As he took another bite Fiona put her hand on his leg and squeezed. She was frozen still, he looked up at her eyes and followed her line of sight and spotted Bobby. Adam put down his sandwich and wiped his hands with the napkin.

"Switch seats with me" he said to Fiona
Adam thought putting himself in between Fiona and where Bobby was sitting might ease her mood a bit. She quickly complied and quietly stood up. They switched seats but not without Bobby noticing. Adam noticed Bobby looking and gave him a warning glance. Adam's expression screamed 'stay away'.

"Please don't do anything" Fiona says to Adam.

"Don't worry princess. I won't" he replies

"I heard from Declan you've been taking anger management classes" Laura says attempting to change the subject

"Yeah. I think they are helping" he half smiles

"So far they've helped you alot" Fiona states.
He could tell she was still looking in Bobby's direction. Fiona was clearly uncomfortable. Adam put his hand on her knee and gave her a light squeeze. It helped a little however she was still preoccupied during the conversation. After about ten minutes Adam had enough

"We should just go" he said

"I think that would be wise" Laura stated. She then got up and walked off towards the cashier.

"Fi, I know he makes you uneasy but I'm here. I'm not going to let anything happen to you." He says as he puts a hand on either side of her face.

"I know, I'm sorry for overreacting"

"You're fine. Come on let's go" Adam smiles

As they walked out Adam glanced over at Bobby's table. It was obvious that he was out with his girlfriend. The girl was showing all signs on being comfortable with him. Adam wondered if Bobby was still up to his usual abusive ways. It was already hot out and the girl was showing plenty of skin and there were no obvious bruises. Bobby glanced up at Adam and gave him the dirtiest look. Adam kept walking, they quickly paid the bill and got in to a cab. It was still early but Adam convinced them to turn in for the night.

-mmmmm-

Adam and Fiona made it back to Declan's house. They went straight to the bedroom. Adam hadn't been very talkative since they left the restaurant.

"Are you ok?" Fiona questioned

"Yeah I'm good"

"Then why are you so quiet?" She pressed

"It's nothing"

Fiona let out a sigh. Something was wrong and she knew it but she didn't want to interrogate him and risk arguing so she dropped it.

"I'm going to shower" she said as she walked in to the guest washroom.
Adam walked in right behind her.

"Hey. You know I love you more than life itself right?" He asked as he grabbed her hand.

"I love you too. But somethings wrong isn't there?"

"I just... I really want to beat the shit out of Bobby. He gave me a dirty look and I just..." he paused and took a deep breath.

"You controlled yourself" she smiled

"Why are you smiling?"
Fiona leans in to Adam's chest. He hugs her then leans his face down and takes in her scent.

"I'm just happy your classes are helping. If this was a few months ago you would've hit him"

"Why am I still so pissed?"

"Because you hold grudges... just like your brother"

"I had almost forgotten about that. Damn it I really have to talk to Drew. This is driving me crazy"
