Chapter 6
Last nights night of sleep was the best I ever had in...EVER!, and the fact that I had today off meant I must have slept in. I got up and went into the living room. It was quiet, so I checked Octavia's room and she wasn't there. So I then decided to just relax on the couch until she showed up. I picked up the TV remote and turned it on; however, the TV just showed static—figured that she had no cable here. By the time Octavia got home I was reduced to using my magic to juggle a few apples around.
"you were productive today, besides don't you have work to go to tonight?" when she came in i got up and put the apples back.
"i missed you to love, and no i don't have work tonight i was hoping you and i can take advantage of that." i said as i walked up next to her and put a foreleg around her.
"Oh, well arent you lively. then i guess ill have to cancel dinner out then huh?" i now notice that my choice of words wasn't truly flawless so i have to now tell her what i actually meant.
"Thats not what i meant Tavi. i meant exactly what you planned, dinner sounds lovely so where are we going?"
"we are going to just a plain old restaurant. its a few blocks from sugarcube corner, it's really nice just perfect for us." immediately i went into my room and grabbed my glasses from my room and was ready to go. we went out the door to a lovely night of just me and my marefriend and best of all food i am starving!
The restaurant is gorgeous. the smell of fresh food and scented candles fill the building. the dining room is right of the entrance door and the only way in is past the counter. most ponies here are in couples at tables for two. the classic music plays like a breeze throughout the restaurant. the floor is a soft velvet and the tables are coated with a snow white cloth.
Me and tavi walked up to the counter. The stallion behind it gave me an odd stare. i know i truly don't belong in a place as fancy as this but theres no need to rub that in.
"A table for two please" Thanks to octavia speaking it took he disapproving eyes of the stallion away from me to my friend.
"right this way." With that he lead us to a nice table in the corner. we sat down and he left. there were two menus on the table. i had no problem using my telekinesis to lift it but octavia seemed to be having a hard time.
"need any help tavi?" she never looked up but she kept trying to pick up the oddly shaped menu.
"no no i got it….. nope i don't, yes i would highly appreciate some help." i put down my menu and lifted up tavi's. she read through it quickly motioned me to put it down. the waiter finally came and took our orders. we both ordered a salad. its pretty simple but its quick and i am starving, so im not in the mood for waiting. there was a few seconds of awkward silence so i decided to start a conversation.
"I thought you said this was just a plain old restaurant this is like five stars or something, not to mention just not so friendly on bits."
"Oh vinyl you forget that i am… well as you like to say 'fancy' and this is plain in those standards. also yes it is quite expensive but i saved up for this. no price is too high for you vinyl." with that she reached her hoof across the table and padded by blushing cheeks. We sat there staring for a few minutes before the waiter arrived hovering our salads and drinks on a pallet with his royal red aura. Me and tavi had the same salad. tavi had a fancy glass of wine and myself a good ol' glass of apple cider. it surprised me that a place high class as this would have the basic type of alcohol used in a club as my own, but i decided not to question that. We ate our food, drank our drinks, left a tip and headed home. the cold air of night was refreshing and pure compared to the scented aroma of the restaurant. Me and my marefriend walked side by side keeping each other warm. Thankfully it wasn't that cold out, and octavias house wasn't to far away.
