The First Date

   " This dress looks amazing on you Y/n. "

I turned around and looked in the mirror at myself. Mikasan was right. The dress was beautiful and it accented me perfectly.

I turned back towards Mikasan and she put a small elegant clip in my hair. She took a step back and glanced over me and her smile widened. 

   " I think you're ready Y/n. "

   " Thank you Mikasan. "

   " Anything for my best friend. Have fun on your date with Oliver. "

   " We'll see about that. "

Mikasan walked with me to the stairs. When we reached them I looked down them and saw Oliver waiting for me at the front door with Million standing ebside him. Million had a soft smile on his pale face while Oliver had a bright joyful smile. I made my way down the stairs and tried not to trip. When I made it to the bottom Oliver grabbed my hand and held it gently.

   " You look beautiful Y/n. " 

   " Thank you. You look handsome. " 

   " Thank you. Shall we leave? "

   " We shall. "

Million opened the door and we walked through and he shut the door behind us. As we walked I took a look at my surroundings. Oliver had made the fencing around the house a bit stricter. We walked to the gate and realized he didn't have a lock on the gate anymore. Now it was a thumbprint and a 30 coded pad that was attached to the gate. I watched him carefully as he unlocked the gate. He used his pinkie finger for the print scan and then I paid close attention as he punched in the numbers. 

   ' He's very quick. '

He was very quick with the code that I could barely catch it. Barely.

   ' 25, 14, 12, 5, 23, 9, 19. That's a long code. ' 

The gate opened as soon as the rest of the code was typed in. We walked through the gate and I saw a limo sitting in the road. Oliver let go of my hand and walked towards the door of the limo and he opened it quickly and gestured for me to get in. I got in and looked around the limo. There were two seats opposite of each other on each end of the limo and in the middle was a capsule that held snacks and what looked like alcohol. Oliver took a seat beside me and gestured for the driver to drive. I stayed silent the whole ride to wherever we were going. I gazed out of the window as we passed by many buildings and lights. 

   ' I miss this. '

   " Are you alright Y/n? "

I looked towards Oliver and nodded my head. I turned back to the window and gazed at the lights and stars. It was nice to leave the house. The scenery changed as we entered the city. The skyscrapers touched the sky and the buildings were full of lights. We got closer to the curb and the limo stopped running altogether. Oliver thanked the driver and got out. He opened my door and held his hand out for me to take. I kept my hands away and got out without his help. He shrugged and shut the door and grabbed my arm. He wrapped it around his own and we started walking down the street.

   " Where are we going? "

   " We are going to a fancy restaurant. I made reservations for us. "

As we walked I didn't see anybody I knew. So, I couldn't really ask for help. I looked at the many shops and bars as we walked. The streets were really crowded with people drunk, adults, and teenagers who think they're adults. 

   ' This would be a good place to run through to hide in the crowd. It's so busy here it would be almost impossible to find someone once you've lost them. Too bad, I can't run right now. These heels aren't very comfortable and Oliver isn't going to let go of my arm while we are in this crowd. '

We stopped walking and walked into a waiting room of a restaurant. A waiter appeared from behind a pedestal and held two menus.

   " Do you have a reservation? "

   " Yes. Under Lewis. "

   " Alright I see it. Please follow me. "

We followed him to a table that sat under the crystal chandelier they had. when we sat down the waiter placed a menu in front of me and when I read the title I was a little shocked.

   ' The Purple is one of the hardest places to book in the city. How did he even get a reservation? '

   " What would you two like to eat? "

   " I'll have Scallop Sashimi with Meyer Lemon Confit with a water. The lady will have Pasta with Lamb Ragu with F/d. ( If you don't eat meat then you can have Vegetarian Tofu Gnocchi ). "

   " I will be back with your meals as soon as they are done. "

   " Thank you. "

The waiter left taking the menus with him and I immediately asked Oliver the burning question.

   " How did you get reservations here? The Purple is one of the hardest places to get a reservation at. How ere you able to do it? "

   " I have a friend who works here. He was able to talk to the manager and I was able to get a reservation. Easy. "

   " Oh. "

We sat at that table and waited on the waiter to get back. It was silent. I looked up at Oliver every once in a while and every time I looked he would be gazing at me. Finally I got tired of it and asked,

   " Is there something on my face? "

   " Nothing but beauty. "

   " You must use that on every girl who comes to your beck and call. "

   " I'm afraid not. Only you. "

   " How's Akane? "

   " Still crazy. "

   " Really? "

   " I'm afraid so. She has somehow become one of the popular girls in the school. "

   " What about Miro's funeral? "

   " You don't have to worry about that. It was taken care of and it was a very sad and short ceremony. "

   " What about Ryo? "

   " What about him? "

   " Is he....."

   " Is he dead? I'm afraid so. "

I felt a pain spurr in my chest. It hurt but I couldn't afford to cry right now. I looked back up at him and was about to ask another question when the waiter came back with the food.

   " Enjoy. "

Oliver started eating and I sat there and just starred at the plate. 

   " Remember you said you would eat. " Oliver reminded me.

I nodded slowly. I picked up my fork and started eating the food. Once I took a bite my stomach erupted with satisfaction and hunger. It hurt a little and I clutched my stomach. 

   " Eat slowly. Your stomach needs to get used to the feeling of digestion again. "

I didn't react. I just started eating slowly.
