Chapter Two: The First Date
Tydus waited impatiently, what was his mother doing to poor Dava? Could his mother be telling Dava some of the things he used to do as a little baby? Or maybe his mom was just being mom and complaining about Dava's hair. Personally he didn't see anything wrong with her hair...he actually wanted to run his fingers through it even though that's what a girl's suppose to do in the kind of situation he was thinking about.
"Hey Tydus, look up and see if you like my new masterpiece." his mom yelled as Dava walked in the room with a tight spaghetti strapped dressed decorated in blue glitter. Dava's black hair was styled in a French bun with a blue stair bobby pin on the side.
"You like?" his mom asked as Tydus grinned.
"Yeah, defidently." he said thanking God he picked the blue cummerbund and bow tie.
"You're not looking too bad yourself Acestar." she said smiling.
"You two go have a good time." Lori said as the two thanked her and walked to the car.
"You look beautiful." Tydus said as they sped away in his car.
"Thanks." she whispered looking down at her bare arms.
"What's wrong?" he asked as she smiled softly.
"Nothing...I'm just not use to glitz and glamour...at least not like this anyway." she said as he reached a red light.
"Hey, look in the mirror." he said as she pulled down the mirror.
"You see that beautiful face? That's you and the other beautiful face is I. Don't you see, we belong together Dava." he said grinning.
"Yeah. I guess your right." she said as the light turned green and Tydus drove off.
'He thinks I'm beautiful...well he's certainly not the first to say that to me and possibly won't be the last. Maybe this is a little bit too fast for me to handle. All of this in just one night. All he knows about me is my pseudonym, my false profession, and that I'm what he calls Beautiful. Maybe I should just call the whole thing off and make up some excuse about a stomachache or a migraine or something. But he's just too sweet for me to break his heart like that. He'd probably follow me home, tuck me in and take care of me while I'm supposedly ill. And besides, at least people aren't screaming my name and bugging me for autographs. It would be so embarrassing. And what would he say about me when he found out? He'd probably never talk to me again.' Dava thought as Tydus opened her door.
"Dava, are you alive in there? You look pale, are you okay?" Tydus asked as Dava looked at him and froze.
His eyes...they were so hypnotic. Or what some people would call mesmerizing. Dava could have sworn she saw beautiful ocean waves splashing up on an island paradise in his eyes.
"Oh I'm fine. Just a minor staring seizure...you know how those thinks just come and go." she lied as he escorted her to the front entrance.
'Staring seizure was that all you could think of?' Dave yelled at herself in her mind.
'Staring seizure...when did that become an illness. Then again when did anything become an illness in the first place?' Tydus thought as they walked into the restaurant.
At first it was slightly noisy, but a hush waved through the restaurant as the two walked towards an empty table.
"Is that who I think it is?"
"Oh my god...she's got the perfect figure. And she sure is wearing one of Lori Acestar's gowns."
"Man he's lucky."
"And look at him...isn't that the star player of the Zanarkand Abes?"
"Who cares somebody call the media...tell them Tydus Acestar and Aaliyah Bonet are at the Ritz in Section C Zanarkand...together."
Were some of the hisses and cries that came from the people.
"Tydus...I suddenly don't feel comfortable anymore." Dava whispered as she sat down and he pushed her chair in for her.
"Let them stare..." he whispered sitting down as a young French waiter ran up to their table...he was about fifteen not much younger that the two.
"Hi my name is Eerie...I've been a big fan of...both of you! Can I have your autographs?" the boy asked handing a sheet of blank paper and a black ink pen to Tydus.
Tydus Acestar
He then passed the paper and pen to Dava.
Aaliyah "Dava" Bonet
Dava quickly gave the boy the paper so Tydus wouldn't see her signature. Eerie put the paper in his back pocket and pulled out a ticket book.
"Would you like me to take your order now? Or later?" he asked as Tydus looked over at Dava.
"Sure. You go first." he said as Eerie prepared to write.
"No I insist. The one who pays always orders first." she said smiling at him.
"I'll have a Cordon Bleu with a side order of spicy French fries. And a light champagne." he said as Eerie looked over at Dava.
"Same thing." she said as the entrance doors busted open.
"There they are! Aaliyah and Tydus!" a news reporter yelled as reporters and camera crews ran into the restaurant.
"Who's Aaliyah?" Tydus asked as Dava shuddered lightly as the lights from the camera crews flashed.
"Who cares let's just get out of here?" she said as Tydus grabbed her wrist and ran out the back door with her.
"That was a disaster." Dava said as her hair fell back into it's previous style.
"Totally. But I wonder, who was that Aaliyah Girl they were talking about in there." he said as she leaned up against the building.
"Tydus, there's something I need to tell you." she whispered.
Tydus waited impatiently, what was his mother doing to poor Dava? Could his mother be telling Dava some of the things he used to do as a little baby? Or maybe his mom was just being mom and complaining about Dava's hair.
