Out to dinner

I zipped up the back of my dress and spritzed myself with my favorite lilac perfume. The midnight blue evening gown fell elegantly at my feet and the lace sleeves fell slightly off my shoulders. My hair fell loosely around my shoulders in dark curls. I smiled at myself in the mirror and slipped on my silver flats. I have been back for a month now. Dick and I was going out to dinner on our fourth date. We were going to a fancy restaurant in Central City and that's all Dick would tell me. I walked out of our room and into the living room of our small apartment to see Dick standing in the middle of the room in a suit with a dark blue tie.

"You look stunning Soni." He breathed. I blushed hard and smiled at the ground.

"You don't look to bad yourself Di." He offered me his hand and I took it as we walked out of our apartment and down the hall. I did my best to ignore the soft click of my leg braces. The elevator opened with a soft ding and we walked into the brightly lit box. We smiled at eachother in a comfortable silence. If someone would have told me all those years ago that I would find myself with Richard Grayson, I would have deemed them crazy. I always had though he was cute as a young child but puberty had done great things. He was tall and muscular but if you looked you couldn't miss the playful glint in his eyes or the crookedness of his smile. He was overall ridiculously attractive but I would never tell him that. He already has a sky high ego.

The elevator opened in the car garage and Dick spun his keys on his index finger as we walked. The sleek black sports car was parked in the far right wind of the car garage. Dick unlocked the car and opened my door for me I slid in the passenger seat and leaned over and opened his door for him from the inside. He got in and we smiled at each other.

" You know, Di," I said as he backed the car out of the parking space. " You don't have to try to win me over. You won a long time ago." He blushed as he kept his eyes on the road.

" I still feel like I have to make up for... things." He swallowed hard and blinked a few times. I sighed and put my hand on his thigh.

"Dick... We've talked about this."
"I know Sonya but I can't help but feel like it's my fault."

"We're okay Dick. I'm okay now. I'm back home. Im safe. I'm with you."

"I -" His voice broke. I bit down on my lip.

"Don't cry Dick. I'm right here. I'm so happy to be with you and you make me feel safe. I'm not going anywhere Di. Not unless you're coming with me." He took my hand and squeezed it gently.

"I'm sorry Sonya. I really wanted tonight to be perfect but I've probably already ruined it."

" You haven't ruined anything Di. I love just spending time with you."

" You mean that Sonya?"
"I really do Dick, I really do."

The rest of the car ride we listened to music on the radio and joked around lightly. We pulled into the parking lot of the restaurant and our laughter died off.

"Are you ready to eat the best seafood on the planet?"

"Better than Alfreds?"

"Don't tell him I said this but this is by far the best ever. Better than Alfreds." I gasped in mock shock and laughed.

"When am I not ready to eat?" We both got out of the car and walked hand in hand into the restaurant.
