Chapter 17

Jamie was probably more tense than he had ever been in his life; for it was time for his first date with Meera. He wanted things to go right, they had talked, planned, he bit his lip thinking of that.

'Meera, she doesn't want anything too fancy but...' He thought to himself. 'Well, just stick to what we planned; it'll be fun, remember, Meera's already told you, how much she likes you.'

Smiling lightly at the memory he did one last check in the mirror, making sure his hair was neat, his clothes perfect. He was wearing black smart trousers, a white button-up shirt, black suit jacket as well as a simple combination of black socks and shoes.

Satisfied he nodded. 'Okay, here we go...'

Taking a deep, calming breath, he made his way out to his car, ready to go and pick Meera up.

Meera smiled lightly to herself as she finished brushing her hair, it still looked wild and curly even with the brushing but she didn't mind. She was excited, looking forward to this date.

'Knowing Jamie he's probably fretting and worrying right now; but this will be good, I know it.' She thought to herself. 'Honestly, he was so worked up about pleasing me, impressing me, didn't realize until I told him, I appreciate him for himself, that's all he needs to please me, to be himself.'

She was currently clad in her dressing gown and was busy looking through her closet and the drawers of clothes; attempting to pick out a good outfit for their date. She was well known for her casual clothing, as well as non-girly clothing but that didn't mean she didn't own any.

Smiling she soon found what she was looking for in the back of her closet. She just needed the right things to go with it, she found them, also in the closet and in one of her drawers.

The items were new, bought only a week ago, now she was getting a chance to use them, quickly grabbing underwear from the drawers too she removed the dressing gown and began to get dressed.

When Meera answered his knock at the door, Jamie gaped, amazed, Meera was wearing a dress.

"I, wow, you, um, you look..." He stammered.

She grinned, pleased she was having this effect on him. "I know, thanks."

Stepping out she closed the door behind her, took his hand and they kissed.

That jolted Jamie back to reality but he was still amazed by her outfit. Meera was clad in a green ankle length thin-strapped dress which showed only slight décolletage and had a slit up the left side of the skirt to the top of her thigh.

Thanks to said slit he was able to see her legs were covered with thigh-high opaque stockings, to finish the outfit she wore a pair of green small heels.

"Shall we?" She asked.

He nodded, grinning. "Sure, let's go."

They headed to his car and soon they were on their way to their destination. As they drove Meera pondered where they were headed.

"I'm actually surprised you know." She said; catching Jamie's attention before elaborating. "That you were able to find a cinema here, that shows old vintage movies."

Jamie let out a short laugh. "It wasn't easy; I'm just glad you agreed to come along. I was surprised you liked movies like that. How did you get into them?"

Meera nodded. "Mum and dad have a fondness for Eastern culture and old movies, I pretty much grew up around such films. What about you?"

"I'm actually kinda like your parents, I have a fondness for Eastern culture, particularly Japanese...plus, well, Mifune is in it."

Meera grinned at that and they both continued their journey, eager to arrive.

Before long they were at the cinema, seated and ready, the opening scenes of Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo starting up. Smiling they settled in, ready to enjoy the movie, their hands automatically seeking and finding each other's.

They didn't talk, simply enjoyed themselves, the movie and, about midway through, when Meera leaned in and laid her had on Jamie's shoulder, he smiled and moved so his arm was around her. She smirked and they continued watching, comfortable and happy.

'To think this almost never happened, several times.' Jamie thought in amazement. 'All because of my issues, I might not have come to Westeros, or met Meera, or even admitted my feelings, but here we are.'

Meera was smiling and reflecting on the night's events. 'Jamie looks so happy, after all that crazy stuff at school, the pool party, Gods, it's amazing, I'm glad he was able to enjoy himself tonight. It's just...flattering that I'm the one he wanted to enjoy it with.'

The couple spent the rest of the movie in a comfortable, loving silence, both of them feeling the affection the other felt, words were not even needed. Once the movie ended, Jamie turned his head towards Meera, they were still in the same position.

"Did you enjoy that?"

"You bet." She said with a grin. "Kurosawa was a genius, Mifune brilliant...Those were some of the best movies of their time."

Standing up together Jamie nodded in agreement. "Very true, very true."

Together they left the cinema; they didn't plan for this to be a big date with a meal and such, just the cinema trip; they had already eaten before going out, so now Jamie was preparing to drop Meera off back at her house. Still, Meera found herself wishing the night would never end and, by the look in Jamie's eyes, he wished the same.

Pulling into the Reeds driveway, they got out of the car and walked together up to the front door.

"I had a wonderful time tonight Jamie." Meera said happily. "I hope we can do it again sometime."

Jamie nodded. "Me too, me too."

Smiling she gently pulling him closer; he grinned and they immediately kissed, becoming lost in the kiss until finally a soft cough made them part. The door was open, Howland, Jyana and Jojen all stood there, smirking.

"Sorry to interrupt, but it is getting late." Howland remarked with a small laugh.

Blushing furiously Meera replied. "We'll, I'll be in soon dad."

Nodding Meera's family headed inside, pleased to see the date had gone well. Jojen was relieved for that and whatever doubts he had about Jamie were gone now. The couple; both still blushing, kissed once more, said their goodbyes and Meera watched as Jamie headed back to his car and drove home. She headed inside, happier than she had ever felt in her life.

Driving home, reflecting on the nights events, Jamie felt exactly the same.

End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it and it wasn't too corny or anything, anyway, read and review please.

Next chapter, back to school, one of our characters decides to make some changes to their usual attire, we'll see more issues with Joffrey and finally, a moment we've all been waiting for, regarding Sansa, will come to pass.
