Hello everyone, sorry for taking long to put up another chapter. I don't have much to say here, except that oh! I've been reading Precocious Crush by my friend Makokam, it is freaking awesome! If none of you have read it, please do yourselves a favor and go check it out. You won't be disappointed. A big thanks to my beta and friend TorontoBatFan for helping me out with the story.
Misadventures In Dating Chapter 2
As people continued to run around in the chaos that ensued, Mindy turned her head slowly to glare at Dave.
"What was that about you saying that it was smooth sailing from here on in?" She growled, standing up. She could feel Dave's eyes on her as he got up behind her. Mindy took off her shoes once again for the second time that evening, tossing them off to the side before ripping up part of her dress so she would be able to use her legs better.
"Mindy I'm so sorry, I had no ide-"
"Save it, dumbass. We have work to do now…But thank you for jinxing us, it's just what we needed tonight of all nights." Mindy spoke sarcastically. She was in no mood for this, and the rage that built up inside her was so fierce, that the devil himself would fear her if he was in her presence.
Mindy approached the taxi cab, noticing that the driver's face was all smashed up against the glass. Another man emerged out of the taxi, holding a gun in hand.
"Fucking idiot..." He hissed, turning to see Mindy standing in front of him. He smirked and walked towards her, eyeing every part of her, which only helped add wood to her fire.
"You are in the wrong place at the wrong time sweetheart. Damn, it's really such a shame with that body of yours." He shook his head.
Mindy smiled devilishly at him, popping her knuckles slightly before pulling her fist back and slamming it into the scum's face, watching him fall back on the floor. She then drew back a leg and drove a savage front snap-kick right at the wrist that held the gun. The thugs' wrist gave with a sickening sounding crack and the gun went flying safely out of the way, winding up beneath the cab.
"You have no idea how much I'm going to enjoy this..." She cackled, running towards him before taking a quick jump, landing and jamming her elbow into his groin, causing him to emit a high-pitched scream of pain that was gargled somewhat by the bleeding in his mouth.
It continued like that for a few minutes. Kicks, punches, everything that could possibly come to Mindy's mind, she would test out on the idiot who had decided to rob the cabbie at gunpoint, ending up somehow crashing into the restaurant. Mindy figured that the cabbie had panicked when the gun was pointed at him, lost control and wound up crashing through the restaurant window.
"Mindy! Mindy stop!" Dave shouted as he ran towards her, trying to pry her off the man. She ignored him, continuing to punch the man in his by now severely messed up face relentlessly. So far, none of the stunned restaurant patrons had taken too much notice of the young blonde girl engaging in a beat-down of the would-be taxi robber. However, Dave figured that wouldn't last too much longer. He had best get Mindy out of there before people took note of her and/or the police arrived.
"Ok you cunt, you want to play some more?" She snarled in a tone of voice that sounded far too close to Hit-Girl's for Dave's comfort, punching him one last time in the throat before Dave finally managed to grab her and lift her up so she could see the police lights coming towards the restaurant. He set her down on her feet and grabbed her hand, racing towards the back of the building.
Once they made it to the back, Dave slammed the door shut and let out a loud breath, turning to look at a still fuming Mindy.
"What the hell was that about?" He asked, raising an eyebrow at her. She turned to look at him, giving him a slightly confused expression.
"What do you mean?" She scoffed, starting to walk away from the alley. She turned and saw paramedics pulling the thug into a gurney, while police started to question some of the customers who were now all outside.
"Maybe we should just call it a night huh?" Dave suggested, shrugging and putting his hands in his pockets, looking down at the ground. Mindy turned around to face him, shaking her head.
"You fucking kidding me? I am going to have my real date if it fucking kills me!" She declared, narrowing her eyes at him. Dave gulped to himself. Six years of partnership had taught him that look usually meant mayhem was about to be unleashed.
"Mindy, let it go already...So we couldn't have our official first date. We can try another time. For now, maybe we should head home to be honest." He said, running a hand through his hair, shaking out some of the debris that had settled in there after their dive to the floor.
"Well too bad because I'm starving. Come on let's go to that diner down the street." She said, marching straight towards the closest source of food she could get to.
oOoOoOoOoOoo
Mindy entered the diner, taking in a deep breath as the waitress grabbed two menus, going to approach them.
"Hi, is it for two…" The woman's words trailed off as she noticed the young blonde girl was barefoot, and looked a bit disheveled. Her companion looked a little better but was still coated with dust and debris. When she raised her eyes back to her, she was met with a death glare that would make you pee in your pants literally. With that, the waitress said no more and led them over to a table, placing the menus down and practically scurrying away.
Mindy let out a long sigh and then sat down, making a face slightly. Dave stared at her for a moment before reaching forward and placing his hand over hers. She looked up and for the first time in their ill fated evening, she gave him a real genuine smile.
"I love you." Dave grinned, lifting her hand to kiss it. Mindy giggled and let her eyes flick down to the table and then back up at him, leaning across the table to kiss his cheek. Under the table, Mindy began to run her bare foot along his leg teasingly.
He turned his face quickly, so that their lips would meet. Her hands cupped his face as they shared a relaxed tender moment.
"I love you too." She whispered, pulling back and opening up her menu. He did the same, easily deciding on some sort of combo that came with a burger, a piece of steak and eggs.
Mindy closed her menu, putting her hands together and thinking to herself. Everything would be fine. Things would go back to somewhat of a regular evening. After all, a typical evening was spent facing down mobsters, muggers, and –more and more frequently- costumed "theme" villains who only seemed to want to take on her and Dave. All in all, this wasn't so bad. She and Dave could have a nice meal at least. It would all be great.
"Don't move! This is a stick-up!" Came a cry from the front counter as a pair of twitchy looking punks, who were barely out of their teens, pulled a pair of revolvers and started pointing them around the diner with shaking hands.
As soon as those words were spoken, Dave and Mindy faced each other and shared a disgusted look.
I really feel bad for these two lol. But hey atleast they can kick those bad people's asses unlike most couples right? Please leave a review if you can, I would love to know what you think and it'll get you another chapter if you like the story :P Again though, couldn't have done it without TorontoBatFan, he really helped me out a lot.
