A/N: This chapter was created with the help of my bestie, xXBalorBabeXx! And her character, Amanda Cena belongs to her!
"You're all dressed up… heading out somewhere?" Amanda responded after Yukie walked downstairs in a silver dress and red stilettos.
"I uh… got a date tonight." Yukie said, as her cheeks started blushing.
Amanda smiled and started to move her arms to hug Yukie… only for Yukie to carefully set Amanda's right arm back to her body, the 25 year old's right shoulder still healing.
"Hey, I'll be alright. It's just me going on a date with Baron. What else could go wrong?" Yukie explained.
"Corbin? I didn't think you two knew each other." Finn replied after he walked over to them… before they heard a knock at the door and Amanda walked over and opened it with her left hand, stepping back and letting Baron walk in.
Amanda's eyes widened slightly as she wasn't used to seeing the Lone Wolf out of his casual clothes or ring gear… Baron was in a pair of black pants, a grey button up shirt and black leather wing tipped shoes.
"Wow…" Yukie only said before looking back at Amanda and Finn mouthing 'Please don't embarrass me!' to them.
"Don't keep her out too late okay?" Finn responded, his right hand resting on Amanda's back.
"And the embarrassing part has started." Yukie announced, before walking towards Baron and smiled at him.
"I promise I won't." Baron replied.
Finn and Amanda looked at each other, Finn whispering to Amanda and Amanda whispering back.
"Can I go now, Mom and Dad?" Yukie questioned.
"Go on." Amanda responded before they hugged, Yukie and Baron leaving and Finn closing the door. "I don't know about this, his temper and the way he fights with you tends to piss me off." She replied as they sat down, Finn helping Amanda readjust her black and red sling.
"He won't do anything to hurt Yukie. If he tries, he'll have us and her siblings and mom to answer to." Finn responded, both knowing that Yukie's date with Seth didn't end well a few months ago.
Baron and Yukie were at Ocean Prime and drinking as they waited for their dinner.
"So from the look I got from Mandy earlier-" Baron responded.
"Yeah, she's still pissed about you picking fights with Finn. What is all that about anyway? I don't remember him ever doing anything wrong to you." Yukie replied.
"I… I felt a little shafted. Mandy and I were close, sibling like basically… but then she and Finn met and I started feeling like she was spending less time with me and her other friends." Baron explained honestly.
"Hey…" Yukie said, before having her hand on top of his. "I'm here for you. I'm not going to ignore you, Baron." She explained with a smile.
"You think I went a bit overprotective? She's been through a lot of hell." Baron replied.
"Maybe a bit. But her and Finn… I don't think I've ever seen two people bond so quickly and trust each other with everything… everyone needs someone to feel safe with." Yukie responded, before removing her own hand from Baron's. "But hey, let's just have a good time tonight, even though this is my first date with you." She explained.
The two ate their dinner and left after Baron paid the check.
"I really appreciate having dinner with you, Baron." Yuki responded.
"I had fun tonight with you too, Yukie… come on, let's go have a few drinks, the night's still young." Baron replied before they headed to a nightclub.
"Alrighty then!" Yukie answered, cheerfully.
The nightclub wasn't overly crowded and they were enjoying themselves as they danced, talked and drank… both had learned things about the other that they hadn't known when they talked at work.
When they got back to the apartment, they saw that the lights were dimmed.
"What is going on in there?" Yuki questioned, covering her face.
"I don't hear them talking…" Baron responded quietly before he went to open the door. "Damn. Locked." He muttered after the handle wouldn't turn.
"Hold on…" Yukie whispered before retrieving the key Finn had given to her.
She unlocked the door and both walked in, Baron quietly closing the door… only to find Amanda and Finn asleep with her in his arms and Dirty Dancing playing on the Tv.
"Guess they wanted to be alone tonight. Since they're asleep… you wanna go upstairs to my room? And don't worry, I'll lock the door." Yukie questioned, after taking off her red stilettos.
"I've gotta get going, we have that company meeting tomorrow." Baron whispered, Yukie remembering it.
"Oh… I thought maybe we can have a room to ourselves tonight, but maybe some other time." Yuki explained.
"Maybe…" Baron responded quietly before he leaned in and connected his lips to hers in a gentle kiss.
After he had left, Yukie headed upstairs and into her room… and couldn't help but smile.
When she woke up the next morning, she heard the shower in the next room running.
"Early riser." Yukie muttered with a slight smile and stretched her limbs before she sat up. She stood up, headed downstairs and saw Finn.
"Good morning, Sunshine. Have fun last night?" Finn responded as he finished cooking the bacon and set it aside to cool before he turned the stove off and put the pan in the sink.
"Yeah… I really did have a good time last night with Baron. I wanted to spend more time with him, but we got that meeting today, right?" Yukie explained, before getting a piece of bacon.
"Yep. Creative's got a big storyline involving all of us so we gotta get ready." Finn replied before he heard the shower upstairs stop running. "I better go help her before she falls and hurts herself." He responded before heading upstairs, Yukie knowing that injuries made it tough at times for people to do things by themselves.
'I'm glad Finn's here to help Mandy… Poor her, I hope she heals up.' Yukie thought herself before getting a plate until she heard her phone vibrate and grabbed her phone, seeing a message from Baron.
'Mornin, Darlin'. Day going good?'
'Yep, I'm already starting out with a good breakfast. Still smiling about last night.' Yukie replied, as she put a heart emoji onto the message before sending it.
'Awesome. I was thinking maybe the next day we have off, we can just spend it together.' Baron responded.
'Really? I can't wait! What do you have in mind for our next date?' Yukie replied, as she put a kissing emoji onto the message before sending it.
'That'll have to be a surprise. ;)' Baron responded.
"Somebody had fun last night?" Yukie heard before seeing Amanda in a white tank top, black shorts and a pair of black sandals before Yukie walked upstairs and returned with Amanda's makeup kit.
"Yeah, I did, Mandy. We went out for dinner, then to a nightclub and had a few drinks, until me and Baron came back with the apartment door lock." Yukie explained, placing the makeup kit down next to her.
"One of us must've locked it." Amanda responded before closing her eyes after Yukie had applied concealer to Amanda's eyes, Yukie applying bronzer to Amanda's face, nose and forehead before applying a champagne colored eyeshadow and black eyeliner to Amanda's eyes in a cat eye look.
"Well we found you two asleep on the couch midway through Dirty Dancing… good movie choice." Yukie replied, Amanda opening her eyes and Yukie applying the mascara.
"Something about classic movies just seems to calm us both down." Finn responded.
"Everyone loves the great classic, it sometimes bring back good memories." Yukie explained.
'Yes it does.' Amanda thought as she applied a nude matte lipstick to her lips with her left hand.
When they were ready, they headed to the Performance Centre.
And for the first time in days, the trio felt truly calm.
