Sorry that it's a bit late again, I've been really busy lately and a bit stressed out. But here's the next chapter, enjoy.
As Blake and Yang rounded the corner, Blake immediately spotted a sign that read The Fancy Fish. 'What an ironic name for an expensive seafood restaurant.' She thought
"I'd assume that's where we are going." Blake pointed at the restaurant with the Fancy Fish sign over it.
"Yeah. The owner's name is Darien. He and my Dad are friends so Ruby and I would go there alot. That is before we started attending Beacon. I know alot of the staff that works there, So I called ahead of time to let 'em know we were coming and Darien said that tonight it was on the house." Yang finished explaining right as they entered the restaurant.
The hostess whom was working at the time didn't look up from what she was writing "Name?" She asked in a tired voice that sound as if she'd been having a long day.
Yang cleared her throat loudly to get the hostess' attention.
The hostess looked up and immediately responded "Oh, Ms. Xiao Long, Party of two. Right this way." She perked up a bit as she began leading them to their table.
"Carrie, There's no need to be so formal with me. You've known me since I was nine, When you started working here." Yang said with a slight hint of amusement in her voice while her and Blake followed the hostess to their table.
Blake listened as the two talked. 'Safe to assume that is is one of the workers that Yang knows" She thought.
Carrie sighed "That's a relief, Being so formal all the time is tiring."
They reached there table and Yang and Blake sat down. The table was in the corner of the restaurant, Where it was more private.
"Anyways who's this?" Carrie said while she was looking at Blake.
"That's Blake." Yang replied before turned to Blake "Blake, This is Carrie, She is the Head hostess and one of the Waitress's here."
"Hi." Carrie said with a smile.
"Hello." Blake responded.
Carrie leaned in close to Yang and whispered in her ear "Is she your girlfriend?"
Yang sunk down in her chair, Her face turning a crimson red that even Ruby's cape would envy, And from Blake's reaction Yang knew she had heard the question. Blake's face turned bright red and she suddenly became really interested in the salt and pepper sitting in the middle of the table.
"I-It's a-a first date." Yang stuttered out.
"Oh, Ok. Well I Assume You'll want the usual to eat?" Carrie asked
"Yes, And the same for Blake." Yang answer regaining her composure
Carrie wrote something down on her notepad "Anything to drink?"
"Strawberry Sunrise." Yang blurted out as if she knew the question was coming.
"Of course." Carrie smiled before writing it down and turning to Blake "And you?"
"I'll take a Blackberry Bramble." Blake replied
"You've got great taste." Carrie said as she wrote the order down "Ok, I'll be back with food and drinks." She finished talking before walking away.
"She's" Blake paused looking for a word to fit the discription of their waitress "Interesting."
"Yeah. I've known Cassie since she started working here when I was nine, She was sixteen at the time. I guess you could say she's like an older sister to me in a way." Yang explained.
Blake gave a slight nod "That makes sense. So, What did you get us to eat."
"You'll see, And trust me when I say that you'll love it." Yang smirked
"Ok then, I'll hold you to that." Blake stated.
"This may sound a bit weird but, How long have you liked me?" Yang asked "I mean you don't have to answer if you don't want to. Only if you feel comfortable answering." Yang panicked slightly, not wanting to sound pushy or anything.
"No, It's ok, I don't mind answering." Blake said before continuing "Back around the dance. That's when I first realized it. At first I thought it was nothing, But then I couldn't stop thinking about how when we danced, It felt like magic to me. And how nice it felt when you hugged me in that empty classroom when you were trying to convice me to relax and get some rest. The more I thought about it, The more I began to cherish the moments we had made and were making. I tried spending more time with you but I didn't what to make things to obvious and not to mention I was really busy with classes, homework, and studying."
"Huh. So I could have made a move this whole time. But I was to blind to see it" Yang said as she thought.
"What do you mean?" Blake looked confused.
"I mean, I've felt the same way since the dance. But the thing was, I was to dumb to see that you liked me back." Yang's face turned light pink "For the longest time I thought you liked Sun. But when nothing ever happened between you two, I could never find the courage to ask you out. I was to scared that you'd say No or something and I wanted to know if you returned my feelings so I waited to see if there was any signs. I started noticing the little things about you, Like how when you hear a faint noise your ears twitch underneath your bow. Eventually Ruby caught me staring at you in class once and she questioned me about it, So I came clean. Honestly, If it weren't for Ruby then I probably wouldn't have even had the courage to ask you out." Yang took a deep breath.
"Yang, You're not dumb. If you ask me I'd say that you're pretty brave. You didn't even know if I liked you back but you asked me out anyways, And yeah, It may have taken you a while to build up the courage to ask me out but you still did it in the end. And Sun is a great friend to have but I don't really see me and him ever being together." Blake smiled, Assuring Yang that She was now Her's "So, What did you order us?" Blake questioned Yang.
"You'll just have to wait and see." Yang smirked
"Oh come on Yang. Is it tuna?" Blake asked, Her face lighting up a bit.
"Maybe" Yang replied in a taunting voice.
"If you don't tell me then I'll-"
Cassie cleared her throat, Cutting Blake's sentence off "Am I interupting something?" Cassie said as she sat the plates of food down in front of Blake and Yang
"Nope. We were just talking." Yang said with a hint of amusement in her voice
"Okay, Well enjoy your food and drinks." Cassie said as she took the drink off of the plater that she was holding and sat them on the table before walking off.
Blake stared at her food for a bit "What is this exactly?"
"It's a Tuna Steak with Lemony Tomatoes and Onions. Try it, It's really good." Yang said before taking a bite of her own tuna steak.
Blake took a bite of the tuna steak and immediately lost control, She began devouring the food and Almost forgot that Yang was there until she heard a snicker from across the table.
"That good huh?" Yang said as she continued to snicker.
"Yang, I think you have some competition." Blake stated jokingly
"I guess that I'll just have win later then." Yang said in a slightly seductive voice.
Blake blushed lightly "We'll have to see about that." She shot back.
"Perhaps." Yang said before continuing to eat.
The two continued to eat and make small talk until they just had their drinks left.
"I think that was possibly the best tuna I've ever had, And I've had a lot of tuna." Blake said as she took a sip of her drink
"Glad you thought it was good. The tuna steak has always been my favorite. We better only stick to one drink though, I wasn't exactly planning on get drunk tonight." Yang said, making more small talk.
"Probably best if we only have one drink anyways, I highly doubt that Weiss and Ruby would appreciant it if we showed up at the dorm drunk." Blake stated making a really good point "So what did you have planned next?"
Yang looked at her scroll to check the time "Well, It's 6:27 right now. We could go for a walk in the park and watch the sunset if you would like?"
"So cliche" Blake said teasingly with a smile "I think I'd like that."
"Okay, Dinner's on the house so I suppose we can just go then." Yang said as she finished her drink off "You ready?"
"Yeah." Blake said, Finishing her drink off as well before standing up.
Yang stood up after Blake, Taking her hand. They both walked together to the front of the restaurant. Before they left Yang stopped at the entrance and looked back at Cassie.
"Cassie." Yang said to get her attention "Blake and I are gonna get going. We should catch up sometime okay?"
"Yeah sure, I got to get back to work now. I'll see you around." Cassie said before smiling and waving
Yang turned back toward the door and began to walk again with Blake. The two exited the restaurant and began walking toward the park. They walked in silence, Enjoying each others embrace.
