Chapter Seven
Leela ordered the most expensive thing on the menu purposefully, with Trevor giving a half-hearted smile as he reluctantly ordered them the meal, this resulted in him ordering the cheapest thing on the menu for himself, Leela smirked.
"Can I have the roast steak for the last and I will have the.. the" Trevor's face went red with embarrassment.
"The kid's cheese burger"
Leela smirked again as she let out a small chuckle. It was clear that he didn't have all the money that she thought he had. The waiter looked at him with slight amusement as did the people on the opposite of him.
"Anything else sir?" the waiter asked, trying to hide their smile.
Leela was getting her phone out, texting all three of siblings. The same text, as she texted.
Trevor just ordered the kid's cheese burger, its' going really well. x
She texted the three simple contacts, Ste, Peri and Tegan. Before placing her phone back in her pocket, he just ordered the cheapest wine bottle to share between each other. She smirked again.
"I'm going on a diet" Trevor lied, she just nodded.
She didn't believe it was for a second as she looked towards him. He was still blushing, his macho image just went down the drain slightly. As he looked around the restaurant, giving some people dirty looks.
"So Trevor, what now? Are suppose to discuss are likes and dislikes cause I got a good ideal already of what you like" Leela winked, his eyes widened.
"Don't flatter yourself, you're not even the best I had this week" Trevor replied, losing his temper slightly.
"Yeah? Well you're not even the best I had today sweetheart but you don't see me complaining" Leela replied with her arms crossed.
They needed something to find common ground on but they were both as stubborn as each other.
"I like your leather jacket" Trevor spoke with a small smile.
She looked back over at him.
...
Ste just got the text, he thought that quite funny as well. As he showed it to Tegan.
"Yeah I got it as well; what grown man orders that?" Tegan asked with a giggle.
She always thought Trevor was strange. Though perhaps this was more funny than creepy, it was hysterical to Peri at least who was laughing madly in her bedroom. Falling of her bed, though her laughter was still heard.
"Dad" Tegan spoke.
As she passed Danny the phone. He looked at the message though he didn't smile. As he took it and walked over to Sam who was oblivious to Leela's little date with Trevor. Neither did Peri, Ste or Tegan until that text.
...
Leela just realized her mistake as she gulped, quickly texting all three again.
Don't tell mum or dad x
Her heart was beating quite rapidly, as she realized her mistake. Trevor noticed her shaking, she wasn't in the mood for a lecture from her mother when she got back. Not at all though she understood why at least.
"Are you okay?" Trevor asked her, she just nodded with an unenthusiastic smile.
...
They all got the same text again, with Tegan sighing. Of cause, she should have known. That is when it came to both of them, including Ste.
"Wait, does she mean Trevor, Trevor?" Ste asked her, interesting choice of words to say the least.
"Yeah, what should we do?" Tegan asked him, she looked over towards her parents. Sam putting her hands on her hips.
"He is dangerous him, she needs to stay away from him" Ste insisted, though he was no strangers to dangerous gangsters.
"I know" Tegan paused before saying. " Mum what are you going to do?" Tegan questioned her mother as she walked over to her.
"Did she say where she was going?" Sam asked her helplessly.
Tegan shook her head.
"She wouldn't tell me" Tegan admitted.
...
"Your roast steak miss and your kid's cheese burger sir" the waiter spoke, as he passed them both of their meals in front of them.
"Thank you" Leela spoke, she was still worried.
The waiter left them in peace after the saying the usual.
"Yours actually looks nicer than mine" Leela spoke with a laugh as she picked up her fork. She seemed genuine unlike him.
His eyes widened.
"Yes" Trevor just spoke simply, he took a bite out of his burger.
She picked up her fork and knife as she began to slice her roast steak, taking small chunks. As she took a bite. She liked that as well as she smiled in delight. Taking some more small bites of it.
"This really nice as well" Trevor told her, as he took much bigger bites of the burger.
She nodded.
"I bet it is" Leela spoke, it was just small talk.
Trevor was trying to words, he wanted to know more about her and what she did. He already had some ideals.
"So, how did you get into the fire fighting business?" Trevor asked her.
She looked up.
"I don't know really, I guess because my mum and dad are high members of society so I thought I join the band wagon; what made you want to get into the 'gangster' business?" Leela asked him.
He gave a nervous laugh as he was trying to find the words on how to reply to that.
"Money, Fraser, among other things" Trevor replied nervously, he didn't want to open up, he was not that type of guy.
"I save lives on a daily basics, and you take them, I don't think it's fair that you make more money then me" Leela just came out and said it, as she took another bite.
"I don't take lives" Trevor replied, trying to defend himself.
She raised her eyebrows.
"You sell you know what though and that's not exactly helping things is it?" Leela asked him, he gave another nervous smile.
"I'm not a trained assassin, Leela" Trevor replied with a chortle.
She leaned in closer slightly.
"Yet"
He sighed, she was hard to please alright but that is just another thing he likes about her. As he gave her a small kick from underneath the table, she gave one back. Both starting laughing as they carried on eating.
"You know yesterday, I had to go on some sort of deal and I seen some old woman running away with her walking stick" Trevor spoke, she busted into laughing again.
"Really?" Leela asked him, astonished.
He shook his head.
"No... it was a toddler" Trevor spoke.
She choked on her wine as she was in fits of laughter again. She couldn't hold it in any longer as she had that image in her head.
"Are you pulling my leg?" Leela asked him, he shook his head again.
"Not yet" Trevor replied, he hesitated before actually grabbing onto her leg. She laughed even louder.
They were now making quite a racket as the waiter walked over with a unpleased look on their face.
"Please, keep the noise down" The waiter told them, both nodding like two naughty school-children.
This date was actually going better than they both first thought. They made each other laugh for one. As they both began to eat their meals, all their troubles seemed to have been forgotten in that moment in time.
