Chapter 7
Life is for the alive, my dear.
Later, they found themselves at a restaurant downtown. It was a quiet place, you got to eat outside, and since it was dark, there were candles lit. Mrs. Lovett was really enjoying it, but maybe Mr. Todd was even more??
"Thanks for bringing me 'ere, Mr. Todd," Nellie looked up at him, her brown eyes sparkling, "Its really quite roman- I mean, ro…uh…romanistic??"
He chuckled a bit to himself. "I think the word you're looking for is romantic, right?" He smirked.
Nellie took a drink of gin. "Yeah, that's wha' I mean. Heh heh…"
"Hm." He said.
"So, Mr. T., why are you being so nice to me now? You truly love me??"
He choked a little, "Ahem…uh…yes, I do. You know, I loved Lucy…but…now…well."
"Yes, love?"
"…I don't think she'd compare to you…"
Nellie swallowed. Wow…he really DOES love me…
"I mean…you're…Wonderful…you're…um…Beautiful…and you're…" He trailed off.
"I'm what, dear?"
"…you're like…my new life." His eyes met hers as he spoke, she caught him blushing with the words.
"Are you're mine, Mr. T." She smiled. "Well, I'm ready to go…let's go home."
"Uh, right." Okay, sir. Now, ask her to walk with you…ask her now, don't hesitate, don't wait. Revenge may be able to wait, but love can't. One minute you may have it, then the next its gone. His conscious told him. He saw her walking away, he paid quickly and caught up to her.
"Mrs. Lovett, lets…"
"Hm?" She asked, turning towards him.
"Walk with me." He motioned for her to come with him, so that she did.
"Wha's with this, Mr. T.?" She asked curiously.
He didn't speak.
"…Mr. T.?"
"You can call me Sweeney if you want…" He said calmly, yet sweetly.
"Huh? Okay, thank you!" She winked, "Haha, is that all you wanted to tell me on this walk? Is that what this is about, Sweeney cakes?"
He stopped. "…what?"
"What, what, love?" She said, teasing him with her words, she know what she did…
"You called me…Sweeney cakes? I said you could call me Sweeney…when did I say 'cakes'?"
She giggled. "I just thought it sounded cute. Hahaha."
"Well, then I have rights to call you honeymuffin!"
He grabbed hold of her and sat her down on a bench they were about to pass. He sat down next to her. She cuddled up against him. "I was just kidding, love." She ran her hand through his hair. He put his arm around her neck.
"Now, honeymuffin," He started.
"Oh, stop!" She said, laughing.
"Haha…Okay, now, Mrs. Lovett, about this little walk…"
"I'm listening, love, listening to every word, I am."
"I…need to ask you a favor…" He said nervously.
"What's your favor, love?"
