A/N I know all this lovey dovey stuff is going on right now but I promise there will be more action in the coming future.
Ch. 25 Dinner
At right about 8 o'clock Blake came and got Dante from the dance floor. He was dancing with his sister and the two were being dumb about it. She tapped him on the back and when he started to turn she kissed him on the check. "It's time to get going."
"Alright." He turned and bowed to his sister who bowed back in a more feminine way.
"Here." Wynne started as she turned back to where they were sitting and pulled his coat out from under the table. "You are going to need this." She tossed it to him and went back to dancing with Ruby. Blake had brought a nice jacket of her own for the night and once they were both ready they started for the train to Vale. When they got seats on the train Blake put her head on his shoulder. He grabbed her hand and locked their fingers together.
"So do I get to know where we are going?" He asked leaning back in the seat watching the buildings go by.
"No." Was all she said before putting her head back on his shoulder. He laughed some before leaning his head back against the glass. After a few more minutes of riding on the train it pulled into the station in Vale. The two exit the train and Dante waits for Blake to lead the way, but she never starts walking.
"What are we waiting for?"
"Well you know how I talked with Weiss." She turned looking up the street as a car was coming down.
"Yeah?" Dante said looking over at the car that stopped in front of them. The driver got out and walked to the back door opening it for them.
"Well not only did she get us the reservations but she also got us a car." She walked over to the car gave the driver a small nod and sat down. The driver shut the door and Dante followed him to the other side and he opened the door for him. He got in and the driver shut the door and returned to the front seat. After the driver got situated the car started to move rolling down the street.
"You went all out with this." Dante said turning to Blake who was looking out the window. A smile came across her face as she turned to him.
"Yeah, with a little help." The two locked eyes for what felt like ages and before they knew it the car had come to a stop. Dante was let out first and looked around to try and get his bearings when his eyes came to a rather big building, not big as tall but long. By this point Blake was by his side and she had wrapped her arm in his. That's when he saw the name that hang from the building, The Ivory Key. Dante knew this place it was a very high end restaurant where some of the best pianists from around the world came to play. He was at a lose for more than just words, his body had no idea how to react to what his eyes were seeing. That was until Blake pulled him out of it. "Come on we're going to be late." He shook off the shock and started walking towards the door. The door opened and everything he thought about this place had come true. As they walked to the podium as a man waited for them. "Belladonna." The man ran his finger down the book looking for the name.
"Ah. Best seat in the house, please follow me." The two followed the man into the main part of the restaurant walking past tables full of people. Blake still had her arm wrapped in his, but she could not take her eyes off of him. He was looking to the center of the place where the floor was risen and on it sat a grand piano. The man lead them to a spot right next to the piano where you could see the musician. Before they sat down the man took their coats, and Dante was hesitant to give it up. Once they were both seated almost on perfect timing the musician came out and sat at the piano. Dante looked over to Blake who still had a smile on her face watching him.
"Blake this is all." He paused for a second looking around. "Amazing."
"A little fox told me you like piano music." Was all Blake said looking over at him. He knew who she was talking about. What she did next took him by surprise, Blake reached up and pulled her bow off revealing her ears. "The same little fox told me you think these are cute." Dante looked down at the table laughing some before looking back up.
"This little fox would be right." A server came to their table with menus and the two found something they both liked and ordered. The rest of dinner was full of talking and eating. Every now and again Dante would look up and get lost in the music. He would just watch as the pianist fingers danced across the keys. Once they finished dinner dessert was brought out and with it wine. Dante watched as the server poured the wine into the glass for the both of them. After the server left Dante looked at Blake. "Do you think we should?" Blake looked the glass up and down before reaching for it.
"One glass is okay I guess."
"Okay." The two toasted each other and both took a small sip, this being their first time drinking anything alcoholic. Over the course of dessert the two finished the wine and once they were ready to go the first guy brought back their coats.
