"Good evening, I'm Tony and I will be your waiter for tonight," Tony smiled at Gabrielle as she giggled and brushed her curly hair over her shoulder revealing her bare shoulder. Josef frowned as well as Mick who rolled his eyes and cleared his throat. "What would you like to order?" Gabrielle smiled and looked down at her menu flipping it slowly with her manicured fingernails.

"Tony, I would like a dish of smoked fish with rice on the side," she said smiling and closing the menu in front of her then looking over at Josef who was staring at the menu with no interest. Gabrielle nudged him with her foot from under the table as he grunted and looked over at her. Mick and Beth watched the two strangely. "What would you like Josef?" she asked sweetly and fluttering her eyelashes at him. Josef cleared his throat before looking up at the waiter with a "Josef smile"

"I'll just get beefsteak," Tony nodded and wrote down the order as he turned to look at Mick and Beth. Beth was still browsing through the menu unable to decided what to eat. She was unsure how she was going to pay for all this. The price was high and it wasn't her type of restaurant to attend to.

"I think Beth would like...stir fry vegetables and seafood pasta, Tony. And Mick, he would prefer a simple dish of spaghetti bolognaise," Tony grinned at Gabrielle who smiled back sweetly and the menus were taken from them by Tony.

"Your order will be here shortly," they nodded and waited for Tony to leave within earshot.

"This place is expensive, the price--" Gabrielle scowled at Beth and she silenced herself. Gabrielle smiled again and rested her elbows on the table as Mick and Josef watched her with interest

"Don't worry Beth, I'm paying for tonight's dinner. Josef, Mick, you really need to blend. You can't be in a restaurant like this and not order anything." Josef rolled his eyes, "So what have we all been up to today?" Gabrielle asked changing the subject and smiling at her friends. Beth groaned silently as she flicked her blonde hair

"I've got boring news to broadcast, about some new club that's opening. Le Sang." She said imitating a French accent which Gabrielle laughed at and Josef rolling his eyes. Mick sat there wondering where he had heard it from. It was awfully familiar. "I don't want to do a broadcast about that," Gabrielle smiled and patted her friend's hand comfortingly,

"I think it means The Blood, Beth. It could be a bloodsucking club," Josef looked over at Gabrielle wondering why she was mixing in that kind of club. Mick scowled looking over at his friend.

"Gabrielle," Mick began but Gabrielle shook her head not wanting to hear his lecture tonight so he bit his tongue to silence himself. Beth frowned again, she was still unsure about Mick's feelings towards Gabrielle but Beth knew Gabrielle didn't like Mick in that way. She seemed for lenient towards Josef. Since the two seemed alike. "I don't want you going to that club anymore," Gabrielle narrowed her eyes at him almost in a threatening way.

"And why not? I am old enough to do as I wish Mick. You have no right to tell me what to do or not." She spoke harshly at him. The words cut Mick deeply. It tore at his chest and broke his mind. He winced clearly as Gabrielle spoke to him. She frowned at herself for hurting Mick like that. It came naturally, she didn't like to be told. "I'm sorry Micky," she apologised softly. Her head lowered and eyes trained at her fingers as they laced with each other. "I know you're just worried about me that's all but I'm fine. I know what I'm doing," before Mick could speak again Josef interrupted.

"May I ask Gabrielle," Josef began looking at Gabrielle who nodded and smiled at Josef sweetly, "Why is it that I haven't seen you around Mick's apartment?" Gabrielle giggled and blinked a few times, the memories of recent events before slowly fading from her memories.

"I haven't been visiting Mick for a while and when I do I usually stay a couple of days before I'm off again. I've been to many countries. France, Germany, Australia, China and of course most states of America but I've decided to stay here for a while until...I'm bored of it and move along somewhere else," Josef grinned and nodded. Beth smiled seeing how lucky Gabrielle was being able to travel the world like that. Having so much time on her hands as well as the beauty forever. Mick, however, noticed the strain in her sentence as she spoke. She was hiding something and he knew it. He planned to figure it out being the P.I he was. It was time for him to investigate on his own friend and if Gabrielle ever caught him, he would be living through Hell.

"Thank you for dinner Gabrielle," Beth said politely as she slipped into her jacket. Gabrielle smiled and shook her head. "It's getting late and I should be heading home now, I've got work tomorrow," Gabrielle smiled and kissed Beth on the cheeks before waving.

"I'll be home soon Gabrielle," Mick informed her as he stood there beside Beth who was slightly shivering from the cold. He noticed and hurried his goodbyes to his friends before helping Beth into the warmer temperature of the car. Gabrielle and Josef watched as the car drove off. Gabrielle sighed as she closed her eyes. Dinner didn't go as she planned. She didn't plan for Mick to notice her slip ups and she didn't plan to be interrogated later on at the apartment.

"Josef?" her voice timid as she asked Josef who was standing beside her waiting for his car to arrive. He hummed telling her to continue, "Can I stay with you tonight? I don't want to face Micky tonight, he'll ask questions," Josef looked at her and cleared his throat as he adjusted his tie. Gabrielle looked up at him hopeful with those round brown eyes and he couldn't resist, just couldn't.

"Of course Gabrielle, it's fine," she smiled at his words and hugged him tightly, burying her face into his chest not noticing how he stiffened slightly and became tense at her warm body against his. Although it made him feel better. Feel more humane to say the least. In other words,

Josef Kostan liked Gabrielle Sawyers.
