Ch2 - The Date Pt2

While we waited for our drinks to arrive, we made light conversation; I was so lost in listening to Killian, as he told me a story. He was interrupted, when the waiter and some other guy crashed into our table, I jumped slightly but remained in my seat as wine was spilt onto the napkin, that thankfully was covering my dress.

I moved to wipe my dress, frustration in my tone as I spoke; and that's when I heard someone speak at that same moment.

"Oh my god, are you alright mate?"

"Really?..."

The same person spoke again, while trying to help the waiter. I stared at the waiter, who was trying to pick the glasses up; as I tried to clean my dress, I was trying not to get annoyed.

"Can I take your glass there mate?"

I focused on my dress again, and the second I happened to look up, I noticed that Killian; was face to face with the guy. That's when I heard Killian speak.

"Apologise to the lady, mate"

I noticed that had his hand fisted in the guys jacket, and that's when my eyes widened; as he looked ready to punch him, I needed to diffuse this. I spoke softly.

"Killian...Hook, it's ok"

He immediately let the guy go, and that's when I realised where I had seen him before. He was the thief from the ice cream shop.

I spoke.

"You...you're the thief from the ice cream shop"

He stood up, and bolted out the door; I stood up to chase after him, frustrated with him and the fact that he had gotten away again. I sat back down, trying to salvage the rest of our date; I sat down again, placing my napkin back onto my lap.

I spoke.

"Nope, not going to do it...we are on a date, and I'm not about to let some petty fairy tale thief ruin it; and there's an ice wall around the town, he can't get away. I'll find him, and he's not going to ruin this night..."

I trailed off, and looked up at Killian; who was staring at his hand, which was still clenched. I also noticed that he looked concerned. I reached over placing my hand over his, and I spoke barely above a whisper.

"Killian...Hey Hook, it's ok; it was only a glass of wine"

He looked up at me, a faint smile on his face; as he spoke.

"Sorry love, I don't know what got into me..."

He tore his gaze from mine, to look at his hand again; he then looked at our hands, which were entwined once again. As we waited for new drinks, we sat in a somewhat comfortable silence again.

The waiter returned with our new drinks, and some breadsticks; we then placed our order, I ordered ravioli and Killian ordered linguine. We made light conversation, while we waited for our meals to arrive.

I tried not to notice that he kept looking at his hand, if I had to guess I'd say he was probably adjusting to having two hands again. When our food was placed onto the table, he thanked the waiter; who smiled in return.

I closed my eyes slightly, as the ravioli melted in my mouth; the flavours burst on my tongue, it was good but it won't replace the grilled cheese from Granny's.

In typical first date fashion, I placed a bit of the ravioli on my fork; as to let Killian try it, he looked at me. I then spoke.

"You have to try this"

He had a slightly perplexed look on his face, he quirked an eyebrow at me; before he spoke.

"Is there something wrong with it love?"

I shook my head, before speaking.

"No its delicious, but this is something couples do on dates; they let each other try their food"

I placed it on his plate, and he lifted his fork; to lift it up to his lips, he grinned at me as he placed it in his mouth. His eyes closed, as he chewed it. I smirked, when he groaned softly; I looked around, to ensure no one heard him.

His eyes opened again, and he grinned at me; but not before, twisting a piece of his pasta onto his fork. He smiled softly, before placing it onto my plate; I then used my fork to unravel it, before placing it onto my fork.

I then placed it into my mouth, and groaned softly; as it melted on my tongue. I pried my eyes open, and I noticed that Killian was smirking at me; he then spoke.

"You're making it incredibly difficult not to pillage and plunder Swan..."

He trailed off, with a quirk of his eyebrow; my eyes widened as I choked out a laugh, before speaking.

"Hey!...I don't pillage and plunder on the first date..."

He grinned at me, before we finished eating; when we finished, Killian insisted on paying for our meals. I smiled as he made his way the bar, to pay the bill. He then rejoined me at the table, offering me his hand; I gladly accepted it, only to be stopped in my tracks.

I stuttered slightly, as he offered me his jacket; he smiled at me, before stepping behind me. He held it, so I could slip my arms into the sleeves; he then moved to face me again.

He spoke.

"May I escort you home milady?"

I smiled, before answering.

"Yes you may"

He smiled at me, as we made our way out of the restaurant; and back to the loft. We made light conversation, as we headed back down Main Street; and then as we climbed the stairs to the loft, I tried to keep my breathing under control.

We stopped outside the loft door, I took a breath; before speaking.

"Well, not bad; you actually managed to make me forget, that Storybrooke was under siege from an evil Snow Queen"

Killian laughed slightly, before speaking.

"I was worried that our run in with that thief, may have cast a poor; I apologise for overreacting"

I reached down to place his hands in mine, before I spoke again

"Hey it's ok, you wanna come in; and have coffee, with my parents, a newborn and a human ice maker?"

He laughed again, as I continued speaking.

"I really need my own place"

He looked at me briefly, before answering.

"I suppose, we'll just have to wait; until next time"

I looked at him, slightly stunned. I took another breath, before I spoke.

"Next time?...I don't remember asking"

He looked at me, before smiling; he spoke again.

"That's because it's my turn...Will you go out with me again?"

I didn't know what to say, so I leaned towards him; and our lips met, in a kiss that was unlike any we had previously shared. I shifted slightly, as he wrapped his arms around me.

We stayed like that, for a few more seconds; until the kiss broke, I sighed softly.

"Ok..."

I then turned around, and I could feel Killian behind me; as I shrugged off his jacket, I then turned back to speak again. I felt a smile form on my face, as I spoke; before opening the door.

"Night Killian"

He looked at me, as I moved to step inside the loft; I noticed he was smiling slightly, before he spoke.

"Goodnight..."

I closed the door, and leaned against it; jumping slightly when I heard my mom speak. I turned slightly, to look at them; as she spoke.

"So how was it?

Seriously? They're still awake? Why?

"You guys are still awake?"

She smiled at me, before continuing her questioning.

"We want to hear everything about the date"

My dad spoke up, and I tried not to grin.

"Just for the record, some of us don't want to hear everything..."

My mom nudged him slightly, before she spoke again; curiosity clear in her tone, as she did.

"How was the restaurant, did you go anywhere afterwards; was there a good night kiss?"

My dad spoke up again.

"That for instance, is one of the things I don't wanna hear about"

I smiled, before speaking; barely above a whisper.

"I really need my own place...Goodnight you guys"

I moved to go upstairs, when I heard my parents speak; they sounded both happy and surprised.

"She seems happy..."

My dad then agreed.

"Maybe he has changed"

I spoke loud enough for them to hear.

"I can hear you guys..."

I shook my hair out of the ponytail, removed the nail polish; and then changed out of my dress, and into one of my more comfortable sleepwear sets.

I then flopped backwards onto my bed, and I couldn't keep the smile off my face; I had to hand it to Killian, he really did know how to plan a date. I couldn't stop smiling, as I relived the date in my head; I got comfortable, before closing my eyes.

I then drifted off to sleep...
