Chapter 2: Date Night
Skye practically skipped all the way back to her hotel. She couldn't help the feelings she felt, bubbling to the surface. She thought she would be dreading their first date tonight, but she was surprisingly calm.
After she ran a quick shower, she dressed in a simple black dress with high heels that were actually comfortable to wear anywhere. When her clock struck 6:45 p.m., she grabbed her black purse and headed to the hotel lobby.
When she arrived, she noticed a red rose on one of the chairs. Her heart immediately began to flip flop and a smile worked its way out.
Oh Ward. She thought as she inhaled the sweet scent.
When she came outside, she saw a black SUV waiting. Ward was waiting outside the car, smiling when his eyes fell upon her. She came up to him and pecked his cheek.
"Thanks so very much for the rose." He smiled and opened up the passenger door. "Shall we?"
She smiled even bigger. "We shall."
When they reached the diner, he opened the door for Skye and they headed into the little Crete diner. Once they were settled in their seats, Ward began looking at the menu while Skye sipped on her water. "What brought on your gentleman ways, Agent Ward?" She teased playfully.
Ward smirked at her. "I'm no longer part of S.H.I.E.L.D. I'm rogue". "Why are you rogue now? I hope you aren't still working with HYDRA." Ward shushed her. "I'm not a part of that organization anymore. I chose to work alone now." Skye narrowed her eyes. "Why can't we discuss this further?"
Ward looked around to make sure no one had heard their conversation. "I would rather not discuss this in a public place. Too much risk."
Skye sighed as the waitress came back to take their orders.
