For all to see

The time had been strategically chosen and as Shylock had guessed it would be, the most stylish restaurant in the alley was practically deserted. On a Saturday, people turned up for breakfast or arrived early to get seats for lunch. By 1pm, there were only a few elderly wizards and witches taking their afternoon tea.

He had already ordered for both of them, organising for the lemon and herb chicken to be served despite the fact it was officially on the dinner menu. Now, he simply had time to muse over how pathetic it was that this bistro was the poshest place in the area while he waited, concealed, for his 'date' to turn up.

Everything had been organised to the tiniest detail and the serving staff had after Shylock had explained about wanting to impress his first date, the serving staff had been ever so obliging about helping him surprise her. Especially the women.

The plan was for Kayla to believe she'd turned up before him, and to be seated at the best table before Shylock made the big reveal.

Kayla was supose to meet her date At sparks at one o'clock in the afternoon, and he had asked her to wear a real dress. Not sure what a real dress was she picked out a almost simple plack and cream dress with silver beading on it, cream booties that laced up and some matching jewalry in black. Though she had refused to to wear a necklace thinking it would get in the way of the beading which was very pretty.

She walked into the restraunt and looked around for him but didn't see him. But instead a waitress came up to her and she spoke, "I was supose to meet a Shylock here," Kayla said, "have you seen him any where?"

"Mr. Ashcroft Isn't here yet but he asked us to go ahead and seat you." The lady said and lead her to the best table where Kayla sat and waited, hopeing he wasn't goin to stand her up or anything. outfit

To be truthful, Shylock hadn't decided whether he was going to stand Kayla up or not. He just needed a girlfriend; it didn't have to be her, but she did put out a kind of desperate vibe and that was how she'd won the love lottery. It was that simple girls!

He wasn't all that impressed with her outfit, to be honest, but perhaps that was just because he was used to seeing the kinds of clothes Destrey wore. Kayla looked like a tiny doll in comparison. Her shoes were surely too tall to be of any practical use and her dress was far too floaty for Shylock's taste.

Still, he decided not to leave her hanging there, walked across the restaurant and placed a lacquered box in her hand. Inside, she would find a tiny talking mirror. It had been expensive to have that charm placed on it, but Shylock thought it would probably be worth the money.

He kissed his new love on the cheek.

"You look beautiful," he complimented her smoothly. "I'm frankly amazed."

"Hello," Kayla said smiling as he kissed her on the cheek before complimenting her and then saying something that was somewhat offensive. "Thank you, you look wonderful tonight too," she said not completely sure what to do with the box he handed her. She wasn't use to gifts or attention from guys so this was a nice change for her. She was use to people forgetting she existed and being mean and rude toward her. It made her happy to know that he hadn't stood her up and had actually bothered to show up after telling her to meet him here for this 'date' if that is what it was.
