Neon fixed the collar on his button down dark green shirt and looked at his semi-wrinkled slacks.
"Damn Kaly, throwing my clothes around." Neon grumbled to himself before knocking on Octavia's door.
When it opened he felt his breath get caught in his throat. Before him stood Octavia in a lavender dress that went down halfway past her knee and her hair was done up in a bun. Though he couldn't help but notice how the skirt part was split from her hip down on the right side.
"I'm glad I'm not the only one that dressed up." Octavia said with a smile.
"Great minds think alike." Neon replied.
Octavia looked at the flowers and box of chocolates in Neon's hands and smiled again.
"Oh yeah, I got these for you." Neon told her while handing her the flowers and chocolate.
"They are just beautiful, where did you get them?" Octavia asked him.
"You'll have to thank Ma; she let me take them from her personal garden." Neon replied with a slight chuckle.
"I'll remember to do that next time I'm over at the diner." Octavia replied.
Neon looked around at the living room and he heard Octavia giggle.
"What?" He asked her
"You look so lost, just go sit on the couch and I get you your drink." Octavia told him.
Neon did as she said and sat down on the couch as she walked around the kitchen. Soon she came back with two wine glasses and few bottles of wine she was struggling to carry. Neon got up and easily took the wine bottles from her.
"Where would you like these?" Neon asked her.
"Just place them on the mat on the coffee table." Octavia replied.
Neon did as she said and sat back down on the couch. She placed down the wine glasses and sat down beside him.
"So who is Vinyl on a date with?" Neon asked her.
"In an odd twist of fate, she is actually date someone from the orchestra." Octavia replied.
Neon chuckled. "So which wine will we taste first?"
Octavia looked at the five bottles and chose the bottle in the middle.
"I got this one while I was touring in a different country, I can't really recall the country's name though." Octavia replied as she uncorked the bottle.
She poured a brownish liquid into the wine glasses and they both picked one up. They each tipped the glasses to their lips, one second later they both spat out the liquid and Octavia ran to the kitchen and rinsed her mouth out furiously. Neon quickly grabbed the bottle and dropped it into the trash.
"So that was horrible." Octavia coughed as she sat back down.
Neon looked at the other bottles and looked back at Octavia.
"Don't worry, the rest are all from here." Octavia replied as she picked up another one and uncorked it.
"I still have to drive home." Neon replied.
"You can just stay here, we have a guest room." Octavia replied as she poured a red wine. "This should be better."
Neon tipped the wine glass to his lips and smiled as he swallowed.
"This is definitely better then the last one." Neon replied as he finished it.
"Which one do you want to try next?" Octavia asked him.
"Surprise me." Neon replied as he closed his eyes.
A few hours later they were laying on the couch together watching an old movie.
"You know, I actually enjoy soundless movies." Neon told her.
"That's a surprise." Octavia chuckled.
"And why is that?" Neon asked her.
"Well, with how loud the stuff is in your sound studio I'd expect you to like everything to be loud." Octavia whispered.
"That isn't all that there is to me little miss double bass." Neon cooed.
Octavia giggled as Neon kissed her cheek again.
"Well what you see right now isn't all there is to me either." Octavia replied.
"Is that so?" Neon asked her. "If that is true, I'm performing at a night club tomorrow night I would like you to come by, I mean if you're up to it."
"Sure, what's the name of the club?" Octavia asked him.
"La Truviada." Neon replied.
"If I go to this night club, would you be willing to go to an orchestra performance?" Octavia asked him. "It's at the Grand Orchestra Hall uptown."
"It's a deal, to be able to see your beautiful face is I need." Neon told her.
Octavia curled up against his chest and closed her eyes; falling asleep quickly. Neon wrapped an arm around her and just sat there as he watched the movie. Soon he himself fell asleep.
