Dinner

Lara walked into the entrance hall at 8:05 to see Alex standing near the door in a grey suit and a tie that complimented his eyes perfectly. His hair was still in soft UN-organised spikes and he looked incredibly hot. Lara took a deep breath as she descended the stairs and chastised herself for her reaction towards him.

Alex on his part was feeling the same way. Lara looked absolutely divine. Descending the huge stair case dressed in a knee length green skirt and a tight fitting tank top with her hair swept up into a top ponytail with the rest of her main flowing down her back she looked like the most beautiful woman in the world.

" Hey Lara." Alex greeted as she reached him and smiled that half smile of hers. " I brought you some flowers." He stated as he whipped out some colourful flowers from behind his back.

" My, my Mr West, we are doing things properly." Lara commented as she took the flowers from him and gave them to Hilary who was standing quietly in the background.

" Ready to go then?" He asked as he headed for the door.

" Absolutely." Lara smirked as she swept past him and out of the door.

The first part of the car journey was quiet as Alex tried to concentrate on the road and not on how Lara Croft was sitting next to him. Whilst Lara just stared out of the window and didn't say anything.

About 15 minutes into the journey Lara asked a question.

" So, where are you taking me?" Alex turned a little so that he could give her a quick smile.

" A little place near where I live, it's called the Firefly- you'll love it."

"Um," Lara responded, noncommittal.

In about another 5 minutes Alex took a sharp left into a car park outside a old big mansion house clearly recently renovated.

" Here we are." He stated as he jumped out of the car and ran round to the other side so that he could offer Lara his hand and help her out of the car. She just raised an eyebrow at him and ignored his hand getting out gracefully on her own.

" You know, if I didn't know you better Alex I would say that you are trying to charm me." Lara challenged as he locked he car.

" Well, can't blame a guy for trying can you?" He said as he caught her of guard and leant forward to capture her lips but, all to soon they were gone and he stood back a smirk playing around his features.

" Shall we?"
