Chapter 7: Oops
A week later Raven was feeling a lot better, her and Rex scheduled another date. Bo sat on the couch his feet propped up on the coffee table reading a newspaper. Raven was in her room trying on a thousand different outfits for the hundredth time Raven walked out this time she was wearing a blue jean skirt and black top. She did a twirl in front of the TV. "What do you think? Dad!" Bo pulled the corner of his newspaper down and looked over it, "You look cute." She ran into her room, "So, not the look I was going for." Bo laughed, "Girls can't live with them, can't get them out of the house without a fashion emergency." Rex knocked on the door and Bo looked over at Raven's door it didn't open so he got up and answered. "Come on in Balsom." Rex, "Hi commish." Bo sat down on the couch, "Raven your date's here!" "Be right out!" Bo laughed, "That means we'll see her in another hour." Rex took a seat on the couch next to Bo. "Ooh TV." He went to pick up the remote and Bo took it before he could, "Oh, come on what am I suppose to do while I wait." "You can answer a few questions." Rex looked over at Raven's door hoping she'd come walking out that second, but she didn't "I plead the fifth commish." "Not this time you don't. Where are you taking her?" "To dinner and a movie." "Where at?" "The Palace and Movie-town Cinema." "What time are you bringing her home?" "Midnight?" Bo laughed, "11:30." "Right 11:30. " "And in here. Not in the parking lot. Not outside the door. Inside the apartment." "Okay warden." He popped up when Raven's bedroom door opened. Raven was wearing a light pink spaghetti strap top and a dark pink short skirt. She smiled at Rex. "You look great." Bo walked over to Raven and gave her a hug and whispered, "You look great." She hugged him back and said also whispering, "Thanks Dad, but this time I was going for cute." Bo chuckled and Raven took Rex's hands as they walked out of the apartment. "Have fun." Bo waved as they left. At the palace Raven smiled at a couple of guys that were checking her out and Rex glared at them. He pulled out her chair and she took a seat and then he took a seat. The waiter walked over and handed the two menus, "I'll be back to take your order in a moment." Rex opened up the menu as did Raven they both chose what they wanted and ordered. "So, I'm glad you're feeling better." "Thank you. I am too. Lying on a couch and wearing your pajamas all day is not very glamorous." "Aw, but you looked so cute and those fuzzy slippers what a turn on." Raven giggled, "Well, I thought they were very cute." "You looked very cute wearing them. Maybe you should have wore braids in your hair to go with." "Stop picking on me." She laughed. He smiled, "You're really beautiful when you laugh." She smiled back and they sat silently eating. When they finished eating Rex paid the bill and he took Raven's hand as they walked out of the palace. They headed to the movie theater. "What are we going to watch?" "I thought I'd let you help pick it out, but go easy on me. I'm not big on chick flicks." She laughed, "Well I was so gonna go for a sob story, but I guess I could torture you with a kids film." "Oh, no I can't stand talking pigs and singing flowers." He ran around acting scared. She laughed at how goofy he was, "Okay I guess I'll save you from the singing flowers. We can watch whatever you want to watch, but next time prepare for wall to wall sobbing." Rex bowed, "I am not worthy. Thank you for going easy on me your majesty." She hit him playfully, "Behave and get me my ticket peasant." She said waving him away with her hand and pretending to wrap a scarf around her neck she walked with her head high in the air and her nose even higher. Rex laughed and bowed again, "Yes your majesty." The two after successfully freaking everybody outside the theater out went inside and watched their movie. When the movie ended Raven and Rex came walking out of the theater. "Did you didn't find that in anyway scary?" Raven shook her head, "No, not really." "That's disappointing." Raven laughed, "Why because I didn't snuggle close to you in your strong protective arms?" She laughed and feigned being scared. "Oh, Rex save me." She pretended to faint and fell back into her arms. He caught her and smiled looking down at her she stood up straight in front of him. He brushed hair off of her face and gave her a kiss and to his delight she didn't pull away from him. Twenty minutes later they arrived at Bo's. Rex checked his watch. "It's 11:29. We have one minute. I had a really great time tonight." "I did too. It was really fun I needed it." Rex smiled and gave her another kiss. Bo opened the door and cleared his throat, Raven and Rex broke their kiss. "It's 11:31 Balsom." Rex showed him his own watch, "It's 11:30 exactly." "We're going by my watch here." Rex smiled, "Oops. Won't happen again. Bye Raven night Commish." Bo shut the door then turned to Raven, "How was your date?" "It was great." "And Rex?" Raven smiled, "He was a perfect gentleman." She gave Bo a kiss on the cheek. "Good night Dad." "Good night sweetie." She headed to bed and so did Bo.
