Chapter 15: Dinner together.
~*~Seifer's POV~*~
She looked so beautiful as the candles sent their pale light over her at our table. We were lucky and had gotten a corner table out of sight of most of the other diners that filled the rest of the place. It was quiet and cosy, like an old favourite place you feel secure in. From what I could see in her eyes, she felt the same way as we sat alone in silence, both just taking in the atmosphere that surrounded us. I reached across the table and took her hands in mine as she twisted the cloth napkin between her fingers. She smiled and dropped her hold on it, linking her fingers through mine. It was wonderful to just stare into her eyes and know she wouldn't say something that would jar the moment, because she trusted me not to do the same. I leant towards her with the intent to start another of those wonderful kisses, when a cough came at my elbow. I settled back and lifted my gaze, finding a waiter standing there, two menus in his hands. I waited for Selphie to order first. As I'd guessed, she ordered a chicken dish, she loved chicken, she always had.
"I'll have the same." I smiled up at the waiter, closing my menu and holding it out to him. I think it was my smirk that made him recognise me because he glared at me, taking my menu as if it was infected with some disgusting disease.
"I should have known filth like you would crawl in here." He snarled the words and I felt Selphie tense up as her grip tightened on my hands. I squeezed back and stood slowly, letting my tall height of six foot two inches tower over his four foot something.
"If you have a problem with me, tell me and I'll go somewhere else." I looked over at Selphie, an apology in my eyes.
"Don't go, please stay." Her voice was soft as she reached out, trying to catch my hand with hers. I shook my head at her as the manager came scurrying over. He looked vaguely familiar to me as he paused.
"I know you." I spoke in a soft tone and he nodded.
"Of course you do, it's me, Watts sir, remember?"
"Of course, how are you?"
"What's the problem here?"
"Your waiter doesn't like me, I was just going to leave."
"I don't WANT you to leave." Selphie spoke up angrily from where she was seated. She knew I wouldn't let her stand up and confront the waiter, it was below her to challenge him for me. I was cast out of several places since they defeated Ultimecia and freed me from her spell. It was something I was used to.
"Of course not, you must stay and enjoy a meal here, it's the least we can do for you, sit down, you get back to the kitchen until I decide that your manners have improved." Watts spoke angrily and the waiter fled, leaving the pad and menus in Watts' hands.
"Your meal will be here shortly, you just settle down and relax, do you want any wine?"
"Selphie?" I turned to her and she smiled and shook her head. I sank back down opposite her, taking her hand in mine the instant she reached for me.
"Ah, so you and Selphie are together?"
"Yeah." Selphie spoke up before I could answer and I looked at her in surprise. There was a smile still on her lips as mine touched hers, a soft gentle kiss. I didn't want to push it here, so I pulled back and smoothed a lock of her hair back behind her ear. The smile I got was beautiful. She shone so beautifully, I couldn't resist brushing my fingertips across her cheek and lips. Our dinner arrived soon and we ate in silence. I didn't feel the need to rush through the silence and talk about things that interested neither of us, it was pointless. I often held her hand, having cut all my food to start with, so her hand in mine was so comforting as the silence became warm and almost more expressive than our conversations had been. After we finished eating, I drew her chair closer around to mine, pushing mine around as well, so I could hold her close. Our empty plates were taken away as our lips met and locked for the longest yet. When we finally broke apart, we found dessert waiting for us.
"Watts." Selphie whispered in surprise and I ran a hand down her side, stopping at her hips to pull her just those few millimeters closer against me. She smiled up at me, her lips parting in wanting. I was happy to comply with her silent plea and my lips sank into hers for a long moment before we drew apart to eat.
AN: Does this warrant another batch of reviews? C'mon, does it? Pwease?
