Recap: Ted and Lana went on their date to a restaurant that had curtains on every booth, giving their patrons a little privacy.

Truly Priceless

Ted and Lana finished their meals and decided to order dessert, both ordering chocolate cheesecake. The waiter came back with their cheesecakes and Lana was about to take a bite when she noticed Ted take a bite first. Lana stared at him as he ate his cheesecake and kept biting her lip as she watched the cake disappear into his mouth. Lana was so captivated by what he was doing that she didn't notice he was talking to her. "Lana? You in there?" Lana shook her head to focus and looked at Ted.

"I'm sorry. What were you saying?" Ted just laughed at Lana

"Nice to see that you pay attention to me, Lana. I was asking you if you were going to eat your cake." She looked from her cake to Ted and her brain went blank for a moment.

"Oh. Yeah, I was going to eat it. Why?"

"Well, if you weren't going to eat it, I was." Lana smirked at Ted and he laughed. She stuck her fork in her cake, scooped up a piece and popped it in her mouth. Lana watched Ted's expression change to the same expression she had when he was eating his cake. Lana finished her cake and pushed the plate to the side, turning her attention to Ted.

"Are you ready for the bill, Ted?" He simply nodded and Lana smiled as she flagged down the waiter. He gave them the bill and Ted snatched it up before Lana could. "Ted."

"You are not paying, ever. I'm sorry. That's how I was raised." Lana smiled.

"There is no arguing with you, then?" Ted shook his head. "Alright." Ted slipped his card into the envelope and handed it to the waiter as he passed by.

"So, what would like to do after dinner?"

"I don't know. Did you have something planned?"

"If you were feeling alright, maybe we could go dancing."

"I'd love to go dancing, Ted." He smiled at Lana and signed the check as the waiter brought it back with his card. Ted took his card back and put it back in his wallet.

"Ready, Lana?" She nodded and Ted helped her out of the booth after he pushed the curtains back. He opened the car door for Lana and after he got in to the driver's seat, he took off to a club. Ted pulled up to a club and a valet opened the door for Lana as Ted got out. He handed the valet the keys and the two headed inside. The noise in the club was a little aggravating but that's probably because she had a headache from the accident. Ted tapped on Lana's arm so she turned to him. "Want something to drink?"

"You aren't trying to get me drunk, are you?"

"No. I just figured you were thirsty." Lana laughed and followed Ted to the bar. "What would like?"

"Apple Pie Martini." Ted nodded and Lana watched him order their drinks.

"Why apple pie?"

"It's one of my favorites. Why?"

"Just curious." Lana rolled her eyes and laughed at Ted.

"Sure you are." Ted just smiled at Lana and he turned to pick our drinks up. He handed Lana her martini and they went to go sit down away from the dance floor. Lana sat down in a very squishy chair, where she immediately sank into it which made Ted laugh. "Shut it, Ted." Lana swung her legs over and stretched out on the chair, leaving no room for Ted. Lana stuck her tongue out at him and she watched him lick his lips. Lana shrugged it off and continued to drink her martini as she looked out towards the dance floor.

"Would you like to dance?" Lana looked at Ted and finished up her drink.

"You bet I do." She grabbed Ted's hand, weaved through the crowd and dragged him to the dance floor. Lana heard him laugh behind her and he stepped forward to twirl her around once, making Lana laugh. He wrapped his arms around Lana's waist and the two of them started to sway together. Lana bit back a grin and pushed back against Ted, making the DiBiase behind hr groan softly in her ear.

"Lana...that's teasing." Lana grinned and turned her head to look at him.

"It's not teasing if I plan to act on it later."

"Really?" She nodded and she heard Ten groan again.

"That makes me want to leave here for some place more private, Lana." She felt Ted's grip tighten on her waist and she chuckled.

"Then whisk me away, Mr. DiBiase." Ted twirled Lana once more before leading her to the door and out to their car. The young millionaire and his date piled into their car and ted took off towards the hotel. He flew into the parking garage, parking abruptly and shutting his car off. "Someone is eager." Ted winked at Lana as he hopped out of his car, followed closely by Lana. He grabbed her hand and pulled her to the hotel, making his way to his room. They earned quite a few glances, mostly by older couples but that did not sway Ted in the slightest. He pulled Lana into his room after fumbling with the key, almost making her trip over her shoes with the force of his tug. "Ted, easy. I'm not-" Lana's words were cut off when Ted crashed his lips to hers. He just couldn't wait.
