Till Death Do Us Part

1 Part 2: The Date
"Alright, I've placed the notes in their rooms. Now all we have to do is wait," Sutashi grinned.
"Hopefully, they will fall for it," Kachie remarked.
Duo got up from his seat at the table to get another glass of juice. "Of course it's gonna work," he replied as he sat down, "we planned it all perfectly!"
"I hope you're right.for your sake," Trowa said.
Dena rubbed her eyes and slowly sat up in her bed. She lifted her arms above her head and stretched out her back. She dropped her arms beside her and sighed, "Another beautiful morning." She yawned loudly and threw the covers off herself. Standing up, she stretched one more time. She walked over to her vanity, picked up her brush, and ran it through her messy hair. After her hair was done, she put the brush back and walked towards her door. "Guess I gotta go down for breakfast," Dena said to herself.
Wufei opened his eyes and blinked a few times so his eyes could adjust to the sunlight pouring into his room. He stood up and went over to his dresser. As he fixed hi hair, he noticed a small piece of paper with writing on it. "What's this?" he asked himself. He picked it up and read it over carefully.
Dear Wu-babe,
Hey! I want you to come out to dinner with me tonight. We don't talk much and I'm really getting tired of Trowa just sitting there, speechless. So, tonight, you're coming with me. If you refuse, I will be forced to steal your keys again and take Nataku out on the town! I'll see you at Luigi's Italian Restaurant at 7:30 tonight. Be there or be square!
Sutashi
Wufei held the note in his hands angrily, "I hate when she calls me that!" He sighed at looked at the paper again, "I guess I have no choice. No way will I allow her to take Nataku out!"
Before Dena went downstairs, she decided to change. When she looked at her dresser top, she saw a little note. She grabbed the paper and began to read it.
Dena,
Since we have not had much time to talk in the past, I thought that maybe we should spend some time together. I have made reservations at Luigi's Italian Restaurant for 7:30 tonight. I hope you will come. We have much to catch up on. Merci! Au revior!
Kachie
Dena smiled, "Well that was nice of her. Of course I'm going to go. She is my cousin after all!" She placed the note back on her dresser. After, changing, she walked down the steps and into the kitchen where everyone was eating breakfast.
At 7:00pm, Wufei put on the best clothing he could find in his closet. "Why'd she have to pick such a fancy restaurant?" he grumbled as he straightened his jacket, "she's doing this to make me feel like a fool. I know it!"
Dena ran frantically around her room as she tried to get ready. "I can't be late! Don't wanna keep Kachie waiting. But, what am I supposed to wear?" she asked herself. She searched hastily through her closet and came upon a long, black, silk dress. She looked at it hesitantly, "My mother gave me this dress. If I ruin it, I'll die!! But, it's the only nice dress I have. It'll have to do." She threw off her bathrobe and slipped on the dress. She removed the towel from her head and shook her wet hair loose. She brushed her hair quickly and braided it into two braids behind her head. Checking her makeup one last time in the mirror, she grabbed her purse and left her bedroom. She walked down the street towards the restaurant, glancing at her watch occasionally to make sure she would be on time. "Only 7:15. I have plenty of time!"
At 7:20, Wufei hopped onto his motorcycle and turned the ignition. The engine roared loudly as he sped down the road towards the restaurant.
Dena arrived at Luigi's at exactly 7:30. She walked inside and up to the waitress who was taking names for reservations.
"Your name, please?" the waitress asked.
"Khushrenada. It may be under Dena or Kachie," Dena replied.
"Ah yes. The wait will be about fifteen minutes. Please sit at the bar while you wait for your table," the waitress gestured.
Dena thanked the woman and sat on a stool in the corner of the bar. She could feel the eyes of virtually all the men in the restaurant on her. She grinned happily and ordered a cherry coke.
Wufei parked his motorcycle in the back and cut the ignition. He shoved his hands in his pockets and walked into the restaurant. He walked inside and up to the reservation counter.
"Your name, please?" the waitress asked.
'Crap! Which name did she put the table under?' Wufei thought frantically. "Umm.either Chang or Maxwell," he replied.
"Your table will be ready in five minutes. Please sit at the bar while we ready your table," she advised.
Wufei walked to the bar and took a seat. He ordered a beer as he waited for Sutashi to arrive.
'I wonder where Kachie is,' Dena thought worriedly as she glanced at her watch. Her thoughts were interrupted as a waiter tapped her shoulder.
"This way please," he ordered and led Dena to secluded table in the back of the restaurant. There was a large with a beautiful view of the city and a violin playing romantic music in the background.
'Why did Kachie choose such a fancy place?' Dena thought as she sat down. She shrugged and looked out the window, "Beautiful view, thought."
A waitress led Wufei to a private part of the restaurant filled with romantic music. 'What the hell is this?' he asked himself. The waitress pointed to a table is the corner where a woman was gazing out the window. 'Is that Sutashi? She cut her hair?!' he thought. He sat down across from her. She turned her head and gasped.
"You?! What are you doing here?" Dena asked surprised and a bit annoyed.
"Sutashi asked me here. What are you doing here?" Wufei asked nastily.
"I came to meet my cousin!" Dena answered. As a waiter walked by, Dena stopped him and called him over.
"Yes ma'am, how can I help you?" he asked politely.
"There must be some mistake. I was supposed to meet my cousin here and he was supposed to meet someone else!" Dena replied, pointing to Wufei.
"I'm sorry, but there is nothing I can do. Please take it up with the manager, but for now, enjoy your meal," the waiter answered sweetly, walking away. Dena stared at her drink for a few minutes. She grabbed her purse and slipped out of the booth.
Wufei grabbed her arm, "Where are you going?"
"I'm leaving! I don't want to eat with you. You're a meanie!" She replied, sticking out her tongue.
"Why don't you just stay? It's a free dinner after all."
Dena thought for a few seconds, "Alright.fine. But, only because I KNOW this was planned by Sutashi." She sat back down and sipped on her drink silently. After a few moments of silence, she sighed, "Why sit here in silence? We might as well enjoy the night."
"Yea.whatever," Wufei replied.
Dena sat forward and started making conversation with Wufei about their hobbies, interests, and politics. After dinner, the waiter came by again and dropped off a small envelope. Dena and Wufei reached for the envelope simultaneously and their hands touched. She blushed and pulled her hand away. She quickly pulled out her mirror to hide her face. 'What are you doing!' she reprimanded herself.
Wufei opened the envelope and looked inside. "Two movie tickets for." he pulled out the tickets and looked at them, "Titanic. It's for the 9:45 showing and its 9:17 right now."
"Cool!!!!! I always wanted to see that movie!!" Dena squealed enthusiastically. Wufei was staring at her strangely. Dena coughed and ran a hand through her hair, "I mean.umm.k?"
"You wanna go?" he asked.
"YEA!!" she yelled. Dena covered her mouth, "I mean.sure." She stood up, grabbed her purse and straightened her jacket. "I walked here, so I guess I'll hail a cab for us."
"I brought my motorcycle," Wufei replied.
"Really? Can we ride it?" Dena asked.
"Umm..I guess." He took off his jacket and threw it at Dena, "but you'll need that it's cold out."
Dena took his jacket and put it on. "Thanks," she said, smiling.
"Yea." Wufei answered. He took his keys out of his pocket and led the way to his motorcycle. When Dena had gotten on, he started the motor and took off at full speed.
Dena gasped as wrapped her arms around Wufei's waist. She squeezed her eyes shut and leaned against his back.
"Hey! You okay back there?" Wufei yelled to Dena
"Yes!" she yelled back, "just my first time on a motorcycle! That's all!"
After about ten minutes of riding, Wufei pulled into the theater parking lot and cut the ignition. Dena let go of him and climbed off. She handed Wufei his jacket back and fixed her mother's dress. She walked into the theater and excused herself, "I have to go to the ladies room."
"Okay," Wufei replied, walking towards the concession stand. He ordered a medium popcorn and a large soda. Dena returned after he had gotten his food.
"We just ate! Why are you getting more food?" Dena asked.
"I'm still hungry," he replied.
"Men." She rolled her eyes and walked into the theater. She went to the very back and sat down. Wufei sat next to her and placed the soda in the cup holder in between them.
After the movie was over, Dena stood up and began walking down the steps when she tripped on her mother's dress. She almost fell down the steps, but Wufei caught her in time. "Oh no!" Dena cried as she looked at her dress, "I ripped it!"
"So just buy a new one," Wufei replied.
Dena started to cry, "I can't..my mother bought me this dress!"
Wufei helped her down the steps and to the motorcycle. When she had gotten on, he sped away towards the house.
By the time Wufei had reached the house, it was a little past one am. He shut off his motorcycle and nudged Dena. "We're home," he said. He looked in back of him and saw that she was asleep. "Great." he muttered, poking her, "Dena, wake up!" She stirred a bit, but wouldn't wake. Wufei sighed and lifted Dena off the motorcycle. He carried her up the stairs to her room and placed her on the bed. Before he left the room, he glanced back at her quickly and smiled. He left her room quietly and went into his own.
Dena awoke that morning in her mother's torn dress from the night before. She stood up and slipped out of the dress and into her nightgown. She hung the dress on her closet door made a note to mend the dress. She took out her hair, combed it, and braided it again. She washed her face and teeth and walked downstairs.
Wufei was in the kitchen making pancakes when Dena walked in. She sat at the table and sighed. "Where is everyone?"
"Shopping," Wufei replied.
"Hmph," Dena scoffed, "they just don't wanna get yelled at."
"Uh-huh," Wufei agreed.
Dena stood up and walked over to Wufei, "Whatcha makin?"
"Pancakes, but now I'm done." Wufei placed the pan in the sink and grabbed a sponge. He started cleaning the griddle when his hand accidentally slipped and hit the hot metal. "Fuck!" He grabbed his wrist to examine the burn, "Shit! That hurt!"
"Let me see," Dena remarked and grabbed Wufei's wrist. She examined it carefully and chuckled, "It's just a little burn. You'll be fine. Let me clean it up for you, though." She let go of his wrist and ran into the bathroom. She reached under the sink, pulled out the first aid kit, and ran back into the kitchen. "Sit down."
Wufei sat at the table, muttering curses under his breath. Dena grabbed his wrist and pulled out some cotton balls and a bottle from the kit. She opened the bottle, soaked the cotton in it, and gently dabbed Wufei's burn with it. "Ow! That stings!" he yelled, pulling his wrist away.
Dena grabbed his wrist again tightly and began cleaning again. "Don't be such a baby. I'm trying to clean all the grease off." After the cleaning was done, she took out some bandages and wrapped up Wufei's hand. She let go of his wrist and shut the kit. "There! All better!" she said, standing up.
"Thanks," Wufei said.
Dena smiled back, "No problem." She walked over to the refrigerator and looked inside. "Someone needs to go food shopping. There's nothing good in here!"
