Six o'clock rolled around and Dean hadn't picked me up yet,that's fine,if he's a little late,that's fine.
6:15,still no Dean. I thought about texting him but held off.
At 6:20 I was about to call him and curse him out for standing me up but I heard a knock on my door. I opened it,ready to let him know that I had been waiting for him almost half an hour but I held my tongue. The sight of Dean made me forgive him for being late immediately. He was wearing dark jeans,a black button down shirt,red tie,a black blazer and boots. The man always wore boots. I also noticed he was freshly shaved.
''I am so sorry I'm late. I couldn't figure out which tie to wear. You look beautiful.''
I'll admit I was happy with my appearance too;black dress with a lowish bust line and red high heeled pumps.
''Thanks. You look amazing,too,Dean,really.''
''I see we're color coordinated. I hope you'll forgive me for being late.''
''Of course I forgive you. After your little favor for me last night,you're forgiven for anything you do for at least a month.'' I joked.
''Same goes for what you did to me in the gym today.''
''Speaking of that. AJ knows about last night.''
''Really? How?''
''Her room is next door to mine.''
''Oh.''
At that Dean and I make our way downstairs.
Instead of taking a cab,Dean had rented a car.
''So Dean,what do you have planned for tonight?''
''Well only a couple of things,seeing as we have to leave early tomorrow for the next city. I figured we'd grab a bite to eat and take a walk down The Hollywood Walk Of Fame,cheesy,I know.''
''It's not cheesy,I've always wanted to do that. I really wanna see Jim Morrison's star.''
''I hope you like the restaurant I picked,it's this very fancy Italian place,I've never been there so I hope the food's okay.''
''Anywhere is fine with me.'' I smiled.
We get to the restaurant and Dean was right,it was very fancy. Dean went over to talk to Maitre D about his reservations he had made. I heard Dean get upset so I walk over to them.
''Dean,what's wrong?''
''This prick says there aren't any tables available.''
''Sir,I'll ask you not use that kind of language.''The guy said.
''Look here you little fucker,I had reservations for 7 o'clock!''
''I'm sorry,sir.''
''Don't you fucking talk to me again in that uppity voice you little puke or I'll!-''
I cut him off.
''Dean,stop. Can you just tell us exactly what the problem is,sir?''
He looked relieved to be dealing with someone who won't reach over and strangle him by his bow tie.
''There are no tables. Someone came in and requested a table without making a reservation,he paid quite well for it.''
''Who the fuck?-'' I cut Dean off again by placing my hand on his arm.
''Could you tell us who it was,please.''
''A Mr. John Cena.''
I could tell Dean was about to lose his shit.
''Dean,don't,let's just go somewhere else.''
We go through the door,me holding Dean's arm so he wouldn't punch anyone on the way out. When we're back on the sidewalk I let him go.
''Son of a bitch!'' He kicked the mailbox in front of the restaurant,denting it.
''Dean,it's no big deal,we can just go somewhere else.''
''It is too a big deal! I wanted this to be the perfect first date and that bastard Cena ruined it! I'm gonna go kick his ass!'' He reached for the door.
''Dean.''
He looked back at me,I was just looking into his eyes,no expression really on my face,I was hoping to calm him down. He let go of the door handle.
''I'm sorry,I just wanted this to be perfect for you.'' He said as he placed his hands on my waist.
''It doesn't have to be perfect,as long as we're together.''
''You're such a cheeseball,Jane.'' He smiled.
''But I like it.'' He said then kissed me.
''So where do we eat?'' I ask. We both look around the area we were in and spotted a 50s style diner.
''It's better than nothin'.''Dean said.
We walk across the street and enter the restaurant,in true 50s fashion,everything was checkered,the walls,the tables,and the waitresses were wearing poodle skirts. We sit down and look at the menu. We ordered and after the waitress left,a Buddy Holly song came on.
''Ooh,I love this song.'' I say.
''What the hell is it?'' Dean almost cringed,Buddy Holly of course is nothing like the Slayer he listens to.
''It's That'll Be The Day by Buddy Holly and it's catchy,thank you very much.'' I stick my tongue out at him.
Our food comes and we eat in silence,burgers aren't a good food to be having a conversation with while eating. We finish eating and order chocolate shakes.
''I really like this place,it's cute.''
''It's okay I guess. I just wanted it to be romantic.''
''This is romantic,to me,anyway.''
Dean smiled.
''So Jane what do you listen to when you're not doing the twist to Buddy Holly or whatever.''
''Well,I like the Misfits,Danzig,Megadeth,Alice Cooper,Guns N Roses,stuff like that.''
''Really now?''
''Really. I like country music,too.''
''I like some country music,Hank Williams Jr is cool.''
''A man who likes Hank Jr,to us Southern girls,that's sexy.''
''Well if I get stoned and sing all night long it's family tradition.''
I giggled.
''Quoting Hank Jr,I'm so turned on.'' I say sarcastically.
''So,uhh,who was your last relationship,Jane?''
''Ahh,we get to the personal stuff,eh? Last guy I dated or last guy I loved?''
''Both.''
''The last guy I dated was a fellow wrestler on the indies. I was crazy about him,only thing is,so were a lot of other girls and he liked the attention. Caught him in the locker room one night fucking a girl I had used to tag team with.''
''Ouch.''
''Yeah. The last guy I loved was my best friend. He had me thinking he loved me too,he hugged me,sent me sweet texts,sent flowers on my birthday...and then sent me an invitation to his wedding.''
''What an asshole.''
I laughed. ''Yep. So what about you,how did your last relationship end?''
''Similar to yours,actually. I was dating this girl,I was head over heels,which is rare for me. She sent me an e-mail one day saying 'I've been banging Wade Barrett,we should split up.' and that was that.''
''What a bitch.''
''Yep.'' He smiled.
''So here we are,two broken lonely souls with empty glasses of milkshakes,what do we do now?''
''Hollywood Walk Of Fame I guess. Let's go act like tourists.'' He smiled and I put my arm through his and we leave.
