Time for the couple to go out and have a little lunch together and go out to have a little fun around town.


Ch 12: Lunch Date

The two laid there for a while just resting in each other's arms as they slept in their birthday suits. Honestly, they thought it was nice, plus a way for them to just be closer together. Their plans to see the city were on hold for the time being but the two didn't mind whatsoever. New Orleans wasn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Heart was first to open her eyes and when she did, she was in the same position when she fell asleep. She looked up to see the male's face and she smiled knowing that he was still here and still holding her.

Alastor stirred a little bit but he held onto her tighter, taking in her warmth and softness as well as her beautiful scent. He couldn't get enough of any of those things. He subconsciously nuzzled her and began to mumble in his sleep a little. She thought it was really cute.

"Mmm... news." The host mumbled.

Heart chuckled at his little mumbles. She started to kiss his chest, leaving little butterfly kisses as she went. Her hands on his back rubbed it softly. "Already thinking off the job. What an egghead." She whispers and shakes her head.

"Mm.. frequency... nine... f... four.. dash... tune." He mumbled more than hugged Heart closer with his smile growing.

Heart shook her head again at him. She had no idea what he was saying but she didn't mind. She kisses his chin before leading a hand further down his back.

"Mmmm..." Alastor hummed then cracked an eye open looking down at her, "Mmm I sensed a snake getting rather close to treacherous territory."

Heart jumped at his words. "Oh...uh, um, didn't realize...awake." She said, embarrassed.

"Haha not to worry cher, I was just waking up now. If you must, you may continue." He rolled his eyes playfully

She giggled. "Silly." She says and kisses his jaw line.

"Mmm, I think the title you gave me was egghead." The man pondered then kissed her back playfully after booping her nose.

She stuck her tongue out. "Yea I think it was, but I could also call you a big boob." She joked.

"You could but I have no competition with yours dear." He chuckled and raised his eyebrows.

Heart blushed as she realized what he meant and hid her face back in his chest.

Alastor gave a hardy laugh at that, "Aw you're so adorable little wolf." He hugged her close, planting kisses all over her.

She giggled from his actions. She lifted her head to look at him. "What did I do to deserve such an amazing man?" She says as she pokes his nose.

"Not much my darling. I ask how a gal like you fell for such a news eggheaded boob like me." he says putting on a goofy face.

Heart let out a laugh at that. "Well, you being an egghead is one reason for sure." She kissed his jaw.

"Hmm wonder how many other reasons there are." Alastor asked, tapping his chin.

"Hmm." She hummed in thought. "Is you being handsome a reason?"

"I don't know mon cher is it? You'd probably know the reasons more than I." he chuckled booping her again.

"I guess that's just a bonus." She corrected. "I love how you can be a wonderful gentleman and there aren't many men like that."

"Well, I vowed never to be like those pigs. I don't care what they think, ladies like you deserve respect for what you all have to do. And how big your hearts are to us." Alastor nuzzled the woman.

"Aw Al, that's sweet words for you to say." She says and nuzzles him back.

"I mean it with every ounce of my being too. I feel empty without you, my love." The radio host admitted to her.

Heart looked at him lovingly. "Alastor, please marry me." She said with a giggle. She honestly was being serious because this man... She wanted this man.

Alastor was so surprised he fell off the bed "Woah-!"

"Oh goodness. Al are you ok?" She made sure as she went to the edge of the bed.

"A-ah... yes I'm ... stunned is all hehe." He says a bit dizzy as the blanket covers his privates.

"Sorry, didn't mean to scare you away." She says, embarrassed and rubbed the back of her head.

"No no my love you misunderstand my reaction. I fell off because Cupid struck me with the biggest arrow when you asked that. My heart couldn't take it." The man chuckled then looked at her lovingly as he got up.

She looked at him dreamily and chuckled. "You're so cheesy but I love it."

"Cheesy as mozzarella on a pizza." He kissed her cheek and rubbed his nose against hers.

"I like pizza. I like you. So, I think it's definitely fitting." She says as she closes her eyes to sigh in content. "If your cheesy then you're stuck to me."

"I wouldn't have it any other way cher. Being stuck to you is paradise in itself." Alastor got up and laid back down beside her cuddling up to her.

"Aw you're just saying that." Heart says as she snuggles up next to him. She lays her head on his chest and wraps an arm around his middle and drapes a leg over his own.

"If I am, would I do this?" He then kissed her collar bone and worked his way up to her cheeks.

Heart felt goosebumps form on her arms as he kissed her. When he was kissing her neck, she tried to not moan, but when he got to her cheeks she was blushing and just smiled wide. "Hmm, I don't know if I believe you still." She said playfully.

"Should I show you again in the shower!" He asked her in a cheeky manner.

"Oh, you're so bad, but then again maybe I should be reminded? Just not in the shower." She said with a purr. "I can already think of how much that bill is going to be." She whispered that last part.

"Hmm don't worry my darling, I can contribute a little if you need to, it was partially my fault of course." Alastor winked and snuggled closer resting his head close to her exposed chest.

She smiled with a giggle. "Don't worry Al, it will be fine." She ran a hand through his brown locks.

"I will take care of you cher, whether it be emotionally, financially, health wise and everything else under the sun you need to be happy." The man whispered sincerely to her looking her in the eyes.

Heart smiled down at him and then kissed his forehead. "Thank you, my love. That means a lot to me." She whispered to him and she ran a hand down his back. "I'm already as happy as can be."

"As am I beloved, please don't ever feel you have to change. You are perfect."

"I don't plan to. Besides, if I did change, I don't know what kind of person I would be. I'm happy being me."

"Good mon petite loup~" Alastor purred. "Mmmm... mine." He sighed

"You're so adorable." She whispered and snuggled into him. "I'll always be yours." She ran a hand down his back till she got to the top of his butt cheeks.

"Mmmm and very bold too, but I can be bolder." The man said directly placing his hand right on top of one of her butt cheeks giving it a small squeeze.

Heart was surprised but chuckled deeply. "So handsy like me." She got closer to his face and moved her hand to his thigh. "I like that." She purred.

"Mmm yes you were a bit too slow so I went directly for you." He chuckled.

"You're so sly." She says and then rubs her nose against his. "So, do you still want to go out around town today?"

"Only if my little wolf desires to of course. I'm content either way my darling." He hummed snuggling her more.

"I'm comfortable as well." She smiled. "Maybe we could have some lunch? Then decide from there." She suggested.

"Hm, that time already huh? I am feeling a bit famished, would you like to go out for lunch darling?" He asked her.

"I think that sounds like a wonderful idea actually." Heart agrees with excitement. She sits up in bed and stretches. "Guess I should get ready." She says with a yawn.

"I should as well, though you go first my dear I won't take long after." Alastor sits up with her and lays his head on her shoulder.

"Oh, maybe you can help me pick my outfit today?" She asked as she looked over at him.

"Me? Have the absolute honor and privilege to help my lady with her outfit?" He asked dramatically.

"Absolutely! Sometimes I can be at a complete loss with my outfits." She admitted to him before giving him a kiss on his cheek and then getting up out of bed. Then she stretched a moment.

He grabbed a towel to cover himself properly. He was excited a little bit to do this for his gal as he headed to her closet to look at her dresses "Hmm quite the array my dear! It's going to be hard for me to pick one but I think I can make do."

"I should get some new dresses soon. Some of those are my mother's and are old." She says as she walks over to a drawer to put on some underwear and a bra.

"That's it! That's what we should do today! Cher, it's been a month since we have been together and I want to spoil you, let us have lunch together and I'll take you for a brand-new dress!" He excitedly walked over to her and held her hands tenderly.

Heart was surprised by this. "W-What? Al, no no I don't want you to do that." She said with a blush.

The woman honestly didn't mind the gesture but at the same time she wasn't used to this attention nor wanting someone to do something that nice for her. Deep down she was saying yes but her brain was saying no since she wasn't used to such treatment.

"My beautiful love, mon precieux petit loup, please let me do this for you. I want to celebrate with you." He squeezed her hands gently looking at her like a pleading child asking their mother for a new toy.

Heart sighed as she looked at him with a smile. He did seem awfully excited to do this to her. Who was she to deny it? "Ok, but on one condition... I get to buy you something too." She says.

After a thought and the gears turned in his head he nodded and shook her hands. "Deal my dear!" He then looked back into her closet. "I think you'd look splendid in this." Alastor said then reached in the closet and pulled out a red dress with a black sweater.

"Wonderful love. I can't wait." She says and then looks at what he pulled out. "I like that! Let's try it on." She took the dress and sweater and laid them out on the bed.

"Lunch with my darling and I get to spoil her, ahhh I am truly in heaven!" He said being dramatic swooning then fainting on the bed.

Heart finished putting the dress on and looked down at him shaking her head. "You're such a goof but I love you." She says then puts on the sweater as well.

"And you are my queen, I adore you. Such beauty you have my darling." He purred, getting up and admiring her.

Heart did a small spin for him. "It does look good together. I guess you have a taste for some fashion Al." She says with a chuckle.

Alastor put a hand to his chest, "Perhaps I do, I am a man of taste after all and my darling deserves to look her best having only the colors that accent her beauty be worn!"

She smiled with a small blush. "You're such a flatterer." She says waving her hand. She then looked at him in just his towel. "Now for you...maybe you should just go out like that." She said with a smirk.

"Oh goodness you're right! Be back in a flash, darling!" He said, grabbing his bag and running to the bathroom.

Heart laughed at his reaction and just went over to her vanity to put on some makeup for the day.

Alastor got to work getting ready and putting on his best for her that he packed in his bag. He began to dig because he was so up in arms excited to be with Heart. He even sang in French as his heart fluttered.

When heart was done putting on some eyeliner, she heard the man starting to sing in the bathroom and it made her smile. She shook her head and focused on what she was doing or trying too anyway. She gave a content sigh. "I love that man."

She didn't realize Alastor heard her let alone was right behind her, "And I love this woman." He purred.

Heart jumped from surprise as she heard his voice closer than she thought. "Jesus Al don't give me a heart attack. I don't want to go in yet."

"Ahaha I'm so sorry my love, I'd be right here to give you passionate mouth to mouth to revive you." He said. hugging her from behind.

"Maybe I want it now. I think I'm feeling something. Oh no!" I say and fell backwards against him.

"Oh cher! Don't worry I'll save you!" He said holding her in his arms as he began to kiss her lovingly.

Heart kissed him back and pulled away pretending to be out of breath. "Oh, my hero. Thank you." She acted.

"My darling is back! Aha! Hurray!" The man cheered as he snuggled her.

Heart laughed and hugged him tightly. "Maybe I need a few more...Just in case." She said sneaky.

"I can arrange that little wolf" Alastor held her closely and covered her face with kisses.

She giggles. "Ok I think I'm back to being alive again. You give me a good reason to be so."

"Good" he said, proud of his efforts paying off. "Then away we go my darling!" He said scooping her up in his arms bridal style as he headed downstairs.

"Ah!" Heart squeaked in shock. "Al, I can walk you know!" She said as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders.

"As I stated before my love, I do know your legs work fine but I adore carrying you when I can! You're simply too precious!" He nuzzled her as they made their way downstairs. He got to the door and put her down so she could get anything else she needed.

When he put her down, she shook her head at him and went to slip on her shoes. She made sure she had her small bag and put her keys and other essentials in it. Alastor grabbed his suit coat and wallet along with his hat then opened the door for her after his shiny shoes were snug on his feet.

"Thank you." Heart said and headed out. Once they were both on the porch, she made sure the door was locked and they made their way to the train car stop. "So where to for lunch sir? Any suggestions?"

"Hmm well I go where the lady desires but if she needs a suggestion how about a lovely restaurant I know of and visit frequent often?" Alastor suggested.

"Oh? Well, let's be on our way then." She says excitedly.

"As you say my dearest, the train car should be coming any moment." He said as they made it to the stop.

"So where is this place anyway?" She asked curiously as she sat down on the bench.

"Oh, it's close to the bayou, a lovely little joint having the best jambalaya that isn't my mothers of course, plus a very good gumbo dish! There is much more but those are some of my go to's." Alastor answered with a happy and excited tone.

"Well, if you like it then I'm sure I will to." Heart says smiling.

The man patted her head. "Oho I think there is a treat there you'll like after lunch knowing your sweet tooth!"

"Oh yea? Now you got me excited there Al." She says and soon the train car pulled up to their stop. It dinged and the two got on.

"Remember dear I get to spoil you so lunch is on me." He stated proud as he draped an arm around her when they sat down and the train car dinged to set off again.

"Well ok, if you insist." She says happily and leans into him.

"I do remember we made a deal; you get to get me something as well which I am quite interested to find out what you have in mind." He gave a chuckle and booped her.

"I'm actually not sure yet, but I'm sure I will think of something." She admitted to him as she laid a hand on his leg.

"Oho surprises I see, the absolute best kind! Ah mon cher, this is the absolute best I couldn't have asked for anything better." The radio host nuzzled her.

Heart giggled as he nuzzled her. "It will be a surprise for me as well but I have all afternoon to figure something out."

"Yes, the afternoon is ours to rule. First we start with conquering the lunch war then shopping battle!"

Heart laughed at his enthusiasm and words. "Alastor, stop being such a boob."

"Well... alright... I'm... I'm sorry." He said, losing all character in his voice and went silent just facing forward. Perhaps he was too silly, especially in public... he didn't want to embarrass her.

Heart laughed still but when she heard the emphasis in his voice died away, she died down her laugh and then looked up at him. "Al, what's wrong? Did I say something?" She wondered with a hint of worry, rubbing his leg.

"Nothing dear, I'm going to read for a bit." Alastor said, taking the paper out of his pocket and opening it, beginning to read it silently.

"Ok." Heart said softly.

Deep in her chest she felt she hurt his feelings. It made her worried but tried to push it aside and just enjoy the ride on the train car. She laid her head on his shoulder and looked out the window. She kept her hand on his leg, rubbing it. He hummed softly as he read the many topics catching his attention. And didn't mind her hand being on his leg. It actually felt nice.

Heart then hid her face more in his arm and nuzzled into it. She sighed in content.

He gave a small chuckle feeling happy again. "You're so cute, cher." He said softly with a smile.

She giggled and looked up at him. "How can you be mad at this face?" She asked as she looked up at him with puppy dog eyes.

"Who said I was cross?" He chuckled, booping her then putting the paper away to snuggle her.

She wrapped her arms around him and put her face in his chest. "I just feel like I upset you with my words." She said softly.

"Darling you didn't upset me; I just have to remember not to embarrass you with me being a boob." He says to her.

"You didn't embarrass me honey." Heart said to reassure him. "I'd rather you be yourself then be something you're not."

Alastor put his face in her head. "I want everything to be perfect for you my dear and want you to be happy that's all."

"And I am happy." She smiles big at him. "As long as I'm with you."

"I'm your buck and I'm not going anywhere little wolf." He rubbed his nose against her and kissed her forehead.

"I wouldn't want you to." She admits to him and kisses his cheek back in return.

"You're stuck with me I'm afraid, we are glued to the hip!" He said in his more perky self-leaning in close so both their hips were together.

Heart giggled. "Do you really want to be glued together?" She joked along.

"I wouldn't mind it as long as you wouldn't!" He beamed.

"Glued to you 24/7? I don't know." She hummed in thought. "Perhaps." She then giggled

Soon the train car was pulling up to the stop closest to the restaurant. The bell ringing to indicate their stop.

"Ah this is us my dearest, come along." Alastor said standing up and offering his hand to her.

She nodded and took his hand. The two walked off the car and down onto the street. "Which way do we head dear general?"

"Take a right my captain! And should be around the corner to the left." He pointed in a silly manner.

"Onward then!" She says laughing and starts to head in that direction.

"Lead the charge, I'm right beside you! We take no prisoners!" He laughed hooking his arm through hers.

Heart shook her head as she continued to laugh. "I feel I can conquer the world with you by my side, General."

"And I feel the same my captain." The man blushed and leaned over to kiss her cheek.

She leaned against him and just held onto his arm tightly as they walked down the sidewalk. For midday on a Sunday, it was busy because of all the church goers but Heart didn't mind it. The whole world didn't exist around her because she had all she needed next to her.

Soon enough they came to the establishment around the corner with the bayou nearby with all its beauty and swampy glory. "Well dear here it is! What do you think?"

"Oh wow. Now if there was a place that screamed New Orleans. that would be the place. I love it already!" She says excitedly.

"Aha that's the ticket cher, now let's go on and dig into some fine cuisine, remember no survivors here! Devour every last crumb." Alastor said being his silly self and overly animated.

Heart couldn't help but laugh. "Let's get to it." She says and grabs his hand to quickly walk over to the place.

"Woah! Haha!" He said surprised.

As soon as they walked in, the smell of Cajun spice with cuisine met their nostrils. He then walked over and requested a table for two. The host smiled and grabbed two menus to then show the couple where to go. Heart followed behind the host and Alastor until they got to their table. It was close to the water and had a small dock. It honestly was cute. The host put down their menus and walked away. Alastor helped her to sit down by pulling out her chair. Then he pushed her in then sat back down.

"There now how is this my dear? Quite scenic, huh?" He asked excitedly, picking up his menu to look at it.

"It is. It has a wonderful view of the bayou. it's peaceful as well from the business of the street." She says as she looked out into the still water.

"Remember my darling you can get anything you please it is my pleasure to spoil you and enjoy yourself." He winked, peeking from his menu.

"I won't go overboard, but I'll take a look." She took the menu and started to glance over it. "You have any recommendations? I think you said the Jambalaya was good."

"Yes, in dee dee my dear it has an excellent kick to it if you like spice. There are other wonderful seafood options as well as steaks, chicken, etc!" He mused when the waiter came a moment later and asked for their drinks. Alastor ordered a water with a lemon wedge as well as a cup of black coffee.

Heart ordered a glass of sweet tea. The waiter walked away to get their drinks. Heart looked over the menu and was stuck on what to get. "What are your opinions on their salads?" She asked him curiously.

"Hm, quite fresh and crunchy, sweet and savory depending on which one. Some even have a tinge of spice for flavor. Which one were you looking at?" He asked.

"Oh, this Cajun Chicken salad sounded really good and it comes with this creamy dressing it says." She explained as she pointed to it.

"That happens to be my top favorite of their salads darling so highly recommended." Alastor answered.

"I might try it then. Get something a little different you know?" Heart says as she flips the menu over and looks at the deserts as well.

"It's your choice cher, the sky's the limit! I think I might go for some crawfish and shrimp dish they have! The crawfish are so tender and perfectly seasoned!"

"Mind if I try a little if you get it?" She wondered

"Only if I take a bite of yours~" he winked and chuckled.

Heart blushed but nodded.

The waiter then came to take their order Alastor ended up ordering the crawfish and shrimp dish. It came with a baked potato and a biscuit. Then the waiter took Heart's order after. She gave her order to the waiter to get the salad. He then took their menus and left them alone. Heart reached over to put her hands on top of his. He happily took them in his hands enveloping them giving them a soft squeeze smiling at her

"I've already enjoyed myself with you Al. It's been a lovely day." She told him.

"And it's only going to be more splendid." Alastor admitted.

Heart gave him a giggle. "I'm just glad to be with you. I know it's still a little early in the day, but it is ok to ask if you can stay over again tonight?"

"It's never too early! I have another day's worth of clothes in my travel bag. I love spending the nights with you, my little wolf." He told her.

She gave him a smile. "Maybe one night I can spend it over your house as well?" She suggested.

"I would love that my dear! Having you is always a pleasure." The man smiled.

"And it's always nice having you around." She then leaned on the table a little unaware of how she was leaning, making her look kind of perky.

Alastor noticed immediately and became a little flustered trying to keep his eyes on her not the... other part. He blushed a deep red. "A-ah darling, my goodness, you're um... ah well." He tried to point it out.

Heart tried to follow where his eyes went and then just smirked. "Oh Alastor, am I making you uncomfortable?" She asked with a seductive tone.

"A-ah uh n- no, but dear perhaps maybe not here. Being such an attractive sheba more than you already a-are?" He asked, hiding his face with his free hand.

Heart gave a small chuckle. As she saw how flustered he was it made a small idea go off in her head. She had a small grin. Oh, what fun. She leans back off the table. "Ok, you win for now."

He gave a small peek to see if she was telling the truth or if she was joking still. When he saw she was back to her normal position he focused back on her and cleared his throat. The adjusted his bow tie and glasses.

"You're adorable when flustered you know that." Heart tells him.

"M-me...? O-oh gracious how embarrassing..." Alastor whispered as he still was red.

"Yep you." She says smiling. "Makes me wish I could have captured that moment." Heart sighs happily though as she looks at him. "Oh! What if we did that! Got a photograph together?" She suggested.

"Aha a picture, eh? Well perhaps I can make that happen at some point. It would be nice to start an album of our own. I think I actually might still have my mother's camera in my attic still." He pondered trying to see if he can remember.

"Aw that would be amazing Al. I think that it would be nice to start capturing memories together." Heart says with a dreamy look on her face.

"Agreed my dear! We would just need to get a fresh blank album once I find the camera." He added with a wink.

Soon after their food had arrived and the smells that came from them were absolutely mouthwatering.

"I can probably get one. I might even have one at home. I'll have to see." She says and when her salad came, she was excited with how amazing it looked. She looked at Alastor's as well and her eyes went wide. "Wow this all looks amazing."

"The best for you my darling, dig in and help yourself to some of mine as well when you'd like." He said beginning to work on the crawfish.

Heart took a bite of her salad after mixing the dressing in better and gave a hum in delight. "This is really good. The chicken definitely is nice to give it that kick . The dressing is good too."

"I never steer you wrong my wolf. That is my favorite dish when I want something filling but not heavy." He gestured eating a piece of crawfish he de shelled.

Heart watched him as he ate the crawfish. "So how do you eat those things anyway? Looks hard."

"Oh, it's not too hard dear, mainly you eat their tails. That is where the most meat is, the rest isn't worth the effort." Alastor explains then shows her how to crack then twist off the tail. Then does a little trick to get the tail meat out whole. "There it is dear, the tender and sweet meat everyone is after with these critters."

"Wow that is so cool." Heart said as she watched him. "Mind if I have a little bite?"

"Here dear, take the tail as you can see I have more plus shrimp I have to work on as well." He laughed, placing the fresh meat on her plate. "Put a little bit of pepper on it and a pinch of salt."

Heart looked at it a moment and then did as told by putting the seasonings on it. Then she took a bite. "Mmm, this is actually not bad." She said and took another bite.

"Now try some of this sauce." He smiled, holding out the small little dish that had a sweet yet spicy sauce.

"What is it?" She wonders as she takes a piece and dips it in it.

"It's a sweet and spicy chili sauce just right in flavor. Not too much in spice but a little somethin. Brings out the flavor." The man winked.

Heart took a bite and then her eyes lit up. "Oh, wow that is amazing!" She says happily as she dipped again and finished off the meat.

"Aha there you go darling. Not bad huh?" Alastor chuckled as he watched her devour the meat.

"I think I know what I'm going to get next time." She says with a chuckle after she swallowed.

"Silly little wolf you are, here." He said cracking open another one and using his knife to dice it up then coat each piece in sauce before putting it in her salad.

"Now you're giving me all the flavors today." She says as she mixes the meat into her salad and then takes a bite. "Just made this like three times better." Heart was excited and continued to eat her salad happily.

"I know my flavors darling. I have done this trick before when I ordered the salad. I ordered a small side of them and sauce." He told her.

"That's a smart idea. All of it together is wonderful. You should still be a chef." She chuckled and took another bite.

"Pish posh dear, being a chef isn't as interesting as the news. That is my second passion, cooking being my third, my first is you." He boops her nose.

Heart blushed deeply at his words and covered her face for a moment. "Goodness gratuitous." She whispered to herself. Her heart felt a flutter.

"That's payback my dear." The radio host winked, eating more of his dish.

Heart's face didn't go down again till sometime later as she ate her salad. She was almost done with it. She got some on her fork and held it out to Alastor. "Want a bite?"

"I suppose it's fair my dear." He says leaning in to take the bite off her fork. "Mmm yes I do love that little salad hack I made." He chuckled after eating his bite.

"So, where would you like to go shopping today? Any place in mind?" Heart wonders as she gets more salad on her fork.

"Hmm I had a few but I wanted to ask if there were any that caught your eye first?" Alastor wondered.

Heart thought a moment of all the shops she saw since she has been here. "Well, there was a cute little bookstore I passed that I would love to check out." She told him.

"Of course, I knew you'd pick that one silly, but what about clothing dear? We need to get you a new dress." The man reminded her.

She chuckled embarrassed. "Um, well, there was one." She moved her fork around her salad a bit. "But I can imagine that they'd be expensive."

"Hmm I think I know what you're thinking of my dear. We'll go there first and you cannot say no." He smirked at her as he ate the last of his shrimp.

"Well, I guess going to look won't hurt at least." She said with a small smile and went to take the last bite of her salad.

Once Alastor swallowed he said, "We'll do more than look I'm convinced, now did you want a little somethin sweet darling?"

Heart just let out a sigh, there was no point in arguing with him. She would probably just find a cheap dress if that was the case. She didn't want him spending a fortune on her. "Something sweet? Hmmm. How about a piece of pie?" She suggested.

"I think I know what to order for you then dear. Do you trust me?" He asked.

Heart nodded. "I trust you."

"Alright then, excuse me, my good man." He started as he grabbed the waiter that walked by. "Could you bring us a slice of-" He then leaned in and whispered with the waiter smiling with a nod before he went off to get it.

"Now I don't know. You have that look in your eyes, mister." Heart said playfully as she squinted her eyes at him.

"Darling, I never steer you wrong. Name one time that I have." He said with a smirk.

"You haven't so I guess what could go wrong?" She answered smiling.

The waiter then returned with a delicious slice of warm chocolate pie! With a scoop of fresh vanilla ice cream. Heart looked at it in shock. "Oh, my lord what is this? It looks amazing!" She says as she bounced in her seat.

"It's a French chocolate pie, almost like a pudding with some nice cool vanilla ice cream to pair with it. It's not so sweet but just perfect for a sweet tooth." Alastor chuckled at seeing her reaction.

"What!? Oh, I have to try this." She says as she takes the fork and then grabs a bit of the chocolate pie and takes a bite. She hums in bliss.

"See I knew you'd love it darling." The radio host smirked, sipping his coffee as he watched her enjoy the pie.

She then took some ice cream and pie together and took another bite. "I know you aren't a fan but do you want some?" She asked out of courtesy.

Alastor hummed but shrugged in defeat. "I'll take a bite for you dear. I'm feeling adventurous."

She chuckled and got some of both the pie and ice cream on the fork and held it out to him. He leaned in and took the bite like he did with the salad. He made a slight face for it being sweet but enjoyed it, nonetheless. Heart giggled at his reaction but enjoyed the fact that she could still share this moment with him.

Eventually Alastor finished the bite with the face, "It's not too bad dear you finish the rest though or else I might be ill haha!"

"Don't have to tell me twice." She says as she digs back into the desert.

He sipped his coffee and watched amused as she ate the desert. She most likely will now be more hyper but he loved that side of her. He felt more of her true self came out which she tried so desperately to hide.

When Heart finished the desert, she let out a sigh. "Man, I am full now. That was so good."

"Good to hear my darling, I'm glad." The man said as the waiter handed him the check, he took out a large bill to put inside then gave it back to the waiter who went to go get his change.

"Did you enjoy your lunch as well?" Heart asked him as they waited.

"But of course! I got to spend it with your sweet little wolf and we get to paint the town red after of course!" Alastor said excitedly and with a lot of emphasis.

Heart laughed at his answer. "I feel like that gang is painting the town red enough, how about purple?" She joked.

"Whatever color my darling desires, I will make it so." He takes her hands in his and gives them a squeeze.

"Rainbow then?" She said trying to sound serious and with a straight face.

"Rainbow and then some colors that have never been made before!" He beams brightly at her. Being all dramatic

"Invent a color? Now you're speaking wacky nonsense." She laughed.

"Hahaha not if it's for you my little wolf."

Heart shook her head. "Such a crazy buck." She muttered.

Soon the waiter came back with the change after Alastor left a tip for him. He stood up and bent his waist to her holding his hand out, "Shall we love?"

"Yes, we shall. Let's go swinging." Heart said excited as she took his hand and he helped her up. The two talked out of the restaurant and into the semi busy streets.

"Now then we go up this street here to the shop I want to take you to get some brand-new threads! Fitting for you of course!" Alastor beamed as they walked.

"Thanks Al. You're the best." She says as she leans on his arm as they walk.


Lets go dress shopping next!
