Here's part 2 of the date. Thank you for all the follows, favorites, and reviews.
We see a jealous side of Cat in this chapter.
Disclaimer: Nothing you read is mine. Just the plot.
No POV
"What did your grandma mean by I wasn't a perv?" Freddie asks as he leads Cat to his car, a recent gift from his mother for use in going to school and back, but he hasn't been able to use it because of Marissa's over protectiveness and making sure the car was safe for him.
"Jade and Tori wanted to make sure that you were decent. They got Nona involved to find out whatever she could from me about what you're planning. That and to make sure you didn't act like a perv when you saw me." Cat responds, giving Freddie a thank you nod when he opens the door for her, letting her buckle in before he closed the door and walked to the driver's side door.
"Ah. That also explains Beck and André stopping by to see how I acted and got ready." Freddie says, buckling in after closing the door and turning the car, a Cobalt blue 2013 Ford Mustang, cautiously pulling out of the parking lot of the apartment complex.
The two make small talk as they head towards Illustrious, a fancy restaurant that serves food from all over the world. Ten minutes later, Freddie pulls into the large parking lot of Illustrious, finding a parking space easily. Being a gentleman, Freddie asks Cat to remain seated as he unbuckles himself and climbs out, closing the door behind him as he heads to the passenger side to open it for Cat, holding his hand out to hold hers, keeping a gentle grip on her wrist as he helps her out, closing and locking the door behind her.
"Thank you." Cat says with a gentle smile, her clutch in her free hand. Letting Freddie guide her to the restaurant, the walk in a comfortable silence as they go.
"Good evening. Welcome to Illustrious. Do you have a reservation?" The maitre' d asks with a smile as Freddie opens the door for Cat, letting her in before walking in behind her.
"Yes. It's under 'Benson'." Freddie says, his right hand slipping into Cat's left, their fingers interlocking.
"Right this way." The maitre' d says, grabbing two menus and leading Freddie and Cat to a private booth in the back. "What would you like to drink?" She asks, handing the two their menus and a a spoon and fork wrapped in a napkin each.
"Water." "Green Tea." Freddie and Cat say respectively. With a nod, the maitre' d/waitress heads away after writing down the drink orders.
Looking over their menus, the two steal glances at each other, occasionally paying attention to the menu to find a meal, but their focus is on the person across from them. A few moments later, the maitre d/waitress, Kristi Cat notes from her name tag, returns with the drink orders. "Would you like a few more moments, or have you decided?" She asks them, putting Freddie's water in front of him them Cat's green tea.
"Uh, yeah. I'll take the tuna Sashimi with rice." Cat says, looking at Kristi long enough to give the order before looking back at Freddie.
"I'll have the steak. 16 oz. Well done." Freddie says, looking at Kristy for only a moment.
"Okay. I'll bring those out when they're done." Kristi says, writing down the orders and heading to the kitchen.
"I think she was staring at you too much." Cat notes, a hint of jealousy in her voice.
"Who?" Freddie asks, confused.
"Kristi." Cat says with a slight sneer, eyes in the direction of where Kristi went.
"Who's Kristi?" Freddie asks, even more confused. "Who is she?"
"The waitress." Cat says, looking at Freddie. "You really didn't notice her? Her boobs were like 36 DDs easy." She says, staring at him with a hint of wonder in her eyes.
"Didn't notice." Freddie says, shrugging his shoulders. "What's sashimi?" He asks, trying to find the dish Cat ordered in the menu.
"Fresh raw meat of fish. I ordered the tuna sashimi, which is basically thinly sliced pieces of the fish or meat used." Cat answers, confused. "You really didn't notice her?" She asks, wanting to know.
"No, I never noticed." Freddie answers, setting the menu down. "Why?" He asks, looking at Cat fully.
"She kept staring at you, lust in her eyes." Cat responds. "She's been staring at you since we walked in." She points out.
"Didn't notice. I only looked at her when placing my orders, that's it. Not long enough to actually get a good look at her." Freddie says, making Cat smile.
"Here's your food." Kristi says about twenty minutes later, the tray holding both plates of food.
"We're on a date. Stop staring at my boyfriend." Cat says, reminding Freddie of how Jade got when guys got too close to Tori, giving him a small smile at it, not hating it at all. "Stop making 'fuck me eyes' at him and do your job." She almost snarls out.
"Sorry." Kristi says, setting the steak knife down on the table by Freddie's plate. "Do you need any A1 or anything?" She asks, glancing at Freddie, keeping her attention on the small red-head across from him.
"Yeah, some A1 would be good." Freddie says, hiding his smile until Kristi walks away.
"What's with the smile?" Cat asks, staring at him.
"I never thought I'd be okay with someone acting so protective over me." Freddie points out, smiling at her. "It's definitely a good thing." He says reassuringly.
A moment later, Kristi returns. Handing Freddie the A1, she asks if there's anything else. With both Freddie and Cat saying no, she walks away, not looking back. "Jade would be proud." Cat says, a small smile on her face.
"I'd say so. She'd be pretty impressed I think." Freddie says, smiling.
The two start eating, the occasional small talk as they eat. A little over a half hour later, after they're done eating, and both plates and glasses set at the end of the table, Freddie takes out his wallet to pay. Cat attempts to take some money out of her clutch to pay, but Freddie quickly declines. After Kristi collects the dirty dishes and takes them to the kitchen, leaving the check, Freddie pays the check, leaving a tip, and they head out, Freddie holding Cat's hand as he leads her to his car, mor small talk as they go.
This is it for this chapter. I had to put in a jealous Cat. I think her friendship with Jade would show some of Jade's traits rubbing off on Cat with how close they are. And in return, some of Cat's traits rubbed off on Jade, mainly her being nicer to some people, mainly Cat and Tori.
Next chapter is the movie. If anyone knows any good romantic comedies that have come out recently, to theaters or even DVD, please let me know. I don't pay attention to new movies anymore. I only see the new releases when I grab the monthly pamphlet from Family Video, but I haven't checked it lately.
Thank you for reading, and I look forward to your reviews.
Blessed Be.
