Chapter Six: Expensive Dinner and Cheap Movie

Michaela and Reagan walked into the apartment. They found it empty so they went into Reagan's room to get ready. Wyatt had told Reagan that it was going to be a fancy place so they should wear something dressy. Reagan pulled out a knee length sleeveless black dress. She laid it on the bed and then to her dresser to put on her make-up. "Pick out whatever you want. Since you probably don't have anything fancy for tonight."

"Actually I did bring one of my dresses with me. You never know where we were going to go so I decided to bring it."

"Which one is it?"

"You've never seen it before. I bought it in New York. I'm going to put on my make-up in the bathroom and then put on my dress. You can see it once I'm all done." Said Michaela walking out to get her dress. "No peeking either."

"Fine." Laughed Reagan. "I didn't realize this dinner was our date."

"Shut up." Yelled Michaela from the bathroom.

Wyatt walked into the apartment. He saw the bags from the mall and knew that Michaela and Reagan were home. "Ray?"

"I'm getting ready. I'll be right out." Answered Reagan.

Wyatt sat on the couch and waited for Reagan to come out. When she did, he would go into the bedroom and get ready himself. He knew that she didn't like it when he walked in on her when she was getting ready to go someplace fancy. Even though they lived together, she still liked to surprise him. Soon enough, Reagan came out. She was still putting in one of her earrings. Wyatt got up and walked towards her. He pulled her into a hug and gave her a kiss. "You look beautiful as always."

"That is so sweet." Said Michaela jokingly.

Reagan turned around and looked at Michaela. "Oh my god. You look amazing. Who are you trying to impress?" Michaela was wearing a low cut, slinky red dress with thin spaghetti straps.

Michaela gave her a glare.

Wyatt noticed this. "I'm going to get ready. I told Chris that it was a fancy place so he's has some clothes with him. Wyatt disappeared into the bedroom and was out within minutes. "You guys ready?"

"Yeah." Replied Michaela and Reagan. They left the apartment and got into the car. Wyatt opened Reagan's door and Michaela's door before getting into his. At about 4:55, they arrived at the restaurant. Once inside, they were brought to their table where Chris was already waiting. His jaw just about dropped when he saw Michaela but she was the only one to not notice it. Wyatt took out Reagan's chair so she could sit and then back in. Chris did the same for Michaela even though it wasn't exactly a date for them.

Chris was staring at her without realizing it.

"Stop staring at her." Whispered Wyatt.

Chris looked away from her and at his menu. Reagan looked over at Wyatt and smiled, noticing how Chris was acting.

"Umm this is really expensive. I don't think I have the money for this." Said Michaela.

"Don't worry about it. Chris and I are splitting the bill." Said Wyatt. "Order whatever you want."

The waiter came and got their orders and then later brought it back to them. Wyatt had the spaghetti and meatballs. Reagan had baked ziti. Chris had the three-cheese pasta and Michaela had the manicotti.

"To Michaela's last night here." Said Wyatt making a toast. They all clinked glasses and drank from them. After being there for nearly two hours, they decided to start leaving the restaurant.

"We should go to a movie." Suggested Michaela as they were leaving.

"I just spent like three hundred dollars in there." Said Wyatt.

"I'll pay. Please? It is supposed to be for me tonight isn't it?" said Michaela giving a pout as well.

"I'm up for it." Said Chris. "The girls can pay for the movie."

"What do you want to do Reagan?"

"I don't know. I mean look how we're dressed. We don't exactly fit in there right now."

"Who cares." Asked Michaela. "I'm going. Who's with me?"

"I am." Said Chris.

"Reagan? What do you say?" asked Wyatt.

"Ok." Reagan got into the car and Wyatt got into the drivers seat. He waited for Michaela to get in. She walked up to the car and Chris started walking to his car a block away.

"You go ahead. I'm going to go with Chris and keep him company."

Wyatt laughed. "Sure you are."

"Wyatt! Are you starting with this too?"

"Bye." Was all Michaela got as a reply. Wyatt started to drive off while Michaela started to catch up with Chris.

Chris looked next to him and found Michaela. "What are you doing here? I thought you were with them?"

"I thought I would keep you company."

"Thanks."

"No problem. So can I get your bed again tonight?"

Chris looked at her for a few moments.

Michaela laughed. "I'm just kidding."

"Was that why you're keeping me company? So I would let you sleep in my bed again?" asked Chris.

"I was kidding. But if you're offering."

They were quiet for a moment. "If you want it tonight you can. You do need a good night's rest since you have a flight to catch."

"No. I'm good. You can have your bed tonight. Thank you though." Said Michaela sincerely.

Chris nodded and turned the lock in his car so Michaela could get in. He opened the door and she got in. He waited until she was in to close the door. He got to the drivers side and saw the lock was already unlocked. He got in and thanked Michaela since he knew she opened the door. They headed to the movie theater. The order in which they sat was Wyatt, Reagan, Michaela, and Chris. They saw Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning. By the time they got home it was 10:30. Wyatt and Reagan went straight into their bedroom. Chris made sure everything was locked and waited for Michaela to come out of the bathroom. When she came out, she was in her tank top and shorts, ready for bed.

"You still out here?"

"Yeah. I thought I would say goodbye now because I don't think I'll be up when you leave here tomorrow. Did you ever check for your flight information?"

Michaela looked at her bag. "Yeah tomorrow at 8:30. I have to leave here at like 6:15."

Chris walked over to Michaela and gave her a hug. "Goodbye. Have a safe flight and call us when you get there okay."

"Yeah I will. Goodnight."

"Goodnight." Chris walked into his bedroom and shut the door.

Within minutes Michaela and Chris were sleeping.

It was three o'clock when the man made his way into the apartment building.
