Electra and Coricopat

I walked outside the den to find Coricopat there. He gave a big grin and I blushed, making my way down the steps. He held out his hand and embraced me warmly. He planted a sweet kiss on my head. "I don't think I've ever seen you look more beautiful," he said to me. "Well, you're beautiful all the time, this is just a different beauty."

I smiled and looked up into his dark eyes. I gave him a deep kiss, wrapping my arms loosely around his waist. I let go and said, "You look quite dashing tonight my dear."

He chuckled and took my hand as we started to walk. "Come on. We're going to miss our reservation."

"Where are we eating?" I asked curiously.

"Félin de Dîner," he said.

"Oh good. I love French food."

"Me, too, but let's not eat too much. There's still a lot at more later."

We walked briskly and eagerly to the diner where a bunch of fancy looking cats were eating and chewing on some nip and drinking wine. I smiled, liking how relaxed and yet coture it was. I don't know how well Addie and Etcy would do here; they're a bit...giggly. Cassandra and Tantomile would like it here, and so would Tugger and Misto (mostly because of the wine). I could imagine it being our new hangout. So many more memories to create...

We sat at the table and ordered a small meal, no dessert. He got sparrow with a light tuna spread while I got catfish with honey, both of us getting milk.

"You truly do look wonderful tonight, El," he told me again.

"I tried to look mature."

"You always look mature. It's in your eyes. Though I didn't know you had...such nice curves."

We laughed, me blushing and him looking sheepish.

"I mean, I check you out all the time, but-"

"I don't really wear tight clothes," I finished for him.

"Yeah, but I like that about you."

"But you also like me like this."

"I like you any way. No, I love you any way," he corrected.

I took his hand across the table and kissed his palm. He grabbed my other hand and brought them to his lips.

"Have you ever had that feeling that something was going to happen?" he asked me.

"Like what?"

"I don't know," he said. "Just...something."

I smiled. "I know exactly what you mean," I told him. "Anticipation of something surreal."

"Exactly," he confirmed, looking at me in a way every girl wanted to be looked at, with such intensity I simply felt so connected to him.

"I love you," I said nonchalantly.

"And I love you, too." We leaned across the table and exchanged a loving kiss.

After eating, we stood up and started back to the Junkyard, holding hand, and waiting for that surreal moment.

One mistake many people make is having a huge dinner before Prom they get tired and full and end up wasting money on a lot of food they didn't eat. Small meals! Anyway, this is just a filler chapter, and we're almost to the Prom chapters! Gah! Be excited :)

Review, too ^..^
