I sighed and checked my watch for what must of been the billionth time. I still was here! What was wrong with me? I should just up and leave. Hell, she wasn't even here yet!? "Dakota!" I heard, with me looking up from my watch as I heard Weiss's voice.
'Speak of the Devil.' I thought as I turned around, seeing Weiss was walking with elegance. She had an apologetic smile on her face, with me turning around. "Hello, Weiss." I said, giving her a nod.
"I'm sorry, Dakota. My father-"
"You don't have to make excuses." I interrupted. "This is just some publicity thing and we both know that."
"I know, I know-"
"Its not like this is going to go anywhere." I said, with her nodding sheepishly. "Well, what do we do now?" I asked as held her hand up.
"Please, Dakota, don't act like this." She pleaded as she had that sad puppy dog look on her face and I knew that I would give in, just like I did all the other times some cute girl gave me that look.
"Fine." I sighed as I stood up and faced her. I pulled her into my arms and held her for a few seconds. "Lets just play this out and see where it goes?" I asked as I let go of her and looked at me puzzled.
"What do you mean?" She asked as she gave me one of those serious looks. "You want us to play out a date like kids." She said once she realized what I was getting at and I nodded.
"Correct!" I said, putting my hands behind my back.
"Ok." She muttered, looking at me with concern and frowned.
"Are you ok?" I asked and she gave me this carefree look.
"I'm fine, let's go." She said as she took my hand and started leading me along. Now I was nervous. Was she really ok? How'd I get myself into this mess?
"Where are we going, Weiss?" I asked, and she smiled.
"It's a secret." She said as she kept leading me onward until we finally reached some restraint, with Weiss accessing it with a key card.
"What are you doing?" I asked in confusion, and Weiss just smiled.
"My father let me use this building tonight, C'mon." She said as she motioned for my hand and we walked in. We kept walking until we got into an elevator and we rode it silently up. "Close your eyes!" She ordered, with me looking at her.
"What?" I asked, confused at why she wanted me to close my eyes.
"Just do it!" She said and I sighed and did as she told. Carefully, she led me out of the elevator. "Ok, open them." She said and I did and I was immediately taken back. The rooftop was a garden that was a whimsical forest. It was lit up by dozens of candles and multi-colored lights hung around everywhere.
"Weiss?" I asked as I started in shock.
"Do you like it?" She asked anxiously.
"Ya, this reminds me of my home." I said, remembering the garden that was behind our family temple. "Thanks." I said, and out of nowhere, music started to play and waiters appeared. "How did you pull this off?" I asked, curious.
"I had some General Ironwood tell me about you and once I learned about your family, I knew I could count on Winter to give me details of the Temple." She said, with me nodding as I did remember seeing Winter Schnee years ago at the temple when it was still in one piece, but I was like two or three.
"You did this for me?" I asked, with her nodding.
"Would you do me the honor of this dance?" She asked as she curtsied, since she had decided to wear a long, silky, white dress. I nodded and followed her lead as I had never really danced like this before. At the time, I had thought I looked ridiculous, but now with us dancing, I couldn't help but blush. She looked beautiful, even as she put her head on my shoulder and closed her eyes.
"Dakota, thank you." She whispered and I felt her clutch me closer.
"Sure." I said as the music finished and we stopped our dance. "Want to eat?" I asked as she nodded and escorted me to the table.
The food was perfect, it was that high class stuff that you could only dream of eating. I hadn't really expected this and I wasn't one to eat such foods, but I couldn't resist. Eventually, I heard my watch strike midnight. "I didn't know it was so late." I muttered while looking at my watch. "Want to go home?" I asked as I looked at her.
Weiss frowned and I knew she didn't want to leave, but I knew that she had things to do tomorrow and needed the sleep. Besides, her father would have a fit if she wasn't home soon.
"As much as I don't want to go, I need to." She said, with me nodding.
"Alright." I said, standing up with her. "Shall we go, Ice Queen?" I asked, smirking as she had ice cream on her face.
"Yes." She said with a nod. "But, I do have once question, Dakota."
"Shoot." I said as we were walking towards the door.
"Why did you call me Ice Queen, was that an insult?" She asked, with me shacking my head.
"You have Ice cream on your cheek." I said, with her blushing hard and cleaning it off.
"I can't believe you!" She whispered, narrowing her closed eyes.
"I can't believe you didn't notice." I joked, placing my hands in my pockets. But, it could be your new nickname, or would you prefer Snow Angel? I asked, joking with her but she blushed even harder.
"Thank you, for telling me." Weiss said once she recovered as she took my hand and we walked to her limo and the driver drove me to the hotel that I was staying at. She lead me to my room, where we stood just outside.
"Dakota." She said, with me looking at her.
"Yes?" I asked, turning to face her.
"Thank you." She said, holding her head up high.
"Your welcome. I don't know what for-"
"Seriously?" She interrupted, getting into my face with a glair.
"Ya." I said, shrugging as I didn't know what set her off.
"You know what, Dakota." She said, kissing my cheek. "I hope this is the last time we meet!" She said, with me crossing my arms.
"You got it." I said, pissing her off even more, with her storming off. "Something tells me, that this is going to come back and haunt me." I said, walking into my room to go to sleep.
