~ Advent, Ltd. Rare Item Procurement
[Nicolye lost a bet to J, a swoop race when they were taking on a rival smuggler gang, the loser had to pay for a posh night out, which means expensive to the Yanks in the audience.]
The setting was perfect. It was a tiny little restaurant, been there for years, the courtyard had a great view of the beach... with the loung chairs perfect for watching the waves in the moonlight. It also had a huge pricetag on every meal... certainly qualified as posh. I paid the manager to keep the courtyard for just our use... rented the whole place. I walked over to the hotel afterwards, I figured better safe then sorry... plus I wanted to impress... so I rented the Royal Suite... the one with the bed bigger then most small houses, and the pile of pillows as tall as I was. *blush* No I wasn't trying to get lucky... I just wanted not to have to fly her somewhere if I had been drinking.
Then I went to find clothes... not that I didn't want to show off my new armor, but this was suppossed to be a fancy date... a real one. And I've never welched on a bet. I found these gleaming white dress boots, perfectly fit, like a second skin.. and a black jacket, with an off the shoulder lapel... black dress slacks tailored for me, and an overstarched white shirt completed the ensemble. I must have checked my appearence in the mirror a hundred times before I picked her up.
She was absolutely stunning... stopped me in my tracks actually. She had gotten House Sibonay to create an off the shoulder gown... pink, offsetting the color of her hair perfectly. The skin of her shoulder was luminous... I'm not sure if it was the Dantooine sunlight, or maybe she bought some expensive girly stuff to bathe with.... whatever... it looked amazing, I wanted to touch it, hold her close, feel the curves that the dress was showing off so well... but I was still nervous... this was my first real date too.
She was facing away from me, I must have said something becuase she turned around... I restricted myself to kissing her cheek, which has become our standard greeting. I was rewarded with the hug I wanted for my paticence... maybe I held her a little too long, but she didn't seem to mind.
We left for Kaadara and the cafe... She was quite thrilled with the view, and the food... I think the fact the courtyard was all to ourselves might have been the thing that most got to her. She said I was sweet for doing it... I got a kiss on the lips for that. We ordered while I fingered the boxes in my pocket... the real gift.
It was an amazing meal... perfect in every way... I started by giving her the pearl... first of three... she knew what it was if not the significance. A pearl from a krayt, the rarest one I'd ever seen. The certificate of authority proved it, the only certified triple pearl find in a single dragon. I got my second quick kiss from that. The third quick kiss came when I handed her the custom dice made from the second of the triple pearl.... I told her then what she was getting from me, I wanted to tease her with the third pearl... I told her of the jeweler who made the lucky charm... wanted to increase her anticipation... and I wanted to make sure she joined me for a walk on the beach to see the sunrise.
I don't think I'll ever forget the details of that meal, the laughter, watching her eyes twinkle in the moonlight... course I don't remember much about what we discussed, because I was just enjoying the time with her, watching her be a girly girl. I do remember some things... I chose a great restaurant for her especially, turns out that one of her favorite holo's had been filmed there... little thing called 'Pettona Place'... she wanted to reenact the walk on the beach between the romantic leads after dinner... which was fine by me.
We grabbed a bottle of wine and walked on the beach, she said she liked the sand between her toes... when we stopped for a bit I slipped the third pearl round her neck... set in a lovely necklace... It was worth every penny, and the debt on top of it.
I took Colin's advice, much as I hate to admit it, and was a complete gentleman on her first date, walking her back to the hotel, giving her just one kiss, though it lasted awhile. And then headed back to the beach to sleep under the stars where we had just walked... Before I walked away I kinda told her I'd spoil her like this as much as I could if she wanted to be my girl.... I think I screwed it up... but this night was worth it... best night of my life.
