"On time as usual?" He said, dryly.
"Of course. Its not my fault you always plan these things too early!" She challenged.
"On the contrary, my dear, I planned it exactly right." He grinned. "Reservations for two, 7:30."
She scowled at him. He concealed his smug grin with an elaborate eyebrow lift and a motion towards the table. Shall we, my dear?"
The waiter was unfortunately less successful at concealing his amusement, a slight chuckle escaping from beneath his carefully groomed mustache, although he did take a careful look at her ass moving to and fro as she moved in the curve-fitting black dress. She glared at the waiter, and the waiter quickly motioned them to follow and lead them to their table.
The table was, of course, the best in the house, with a perfect view of the indoor waterfall, but far enough away so that its noise didn't obstruct conversation. He quickly pulled back her chair and motioned for her to sit, winking at the waiter behind her back. The waiter nodded in response, and walked away. She sat, still somewhat disgruntled, but beginning to take the events in stride, until she reached for her napkin. As she swiped the napkin into her lap, her eyes caught the glint of some sort of shiny paper beneath it. She picked up the package, exasperated, and glared at him yet again.
"What's this?" She asked suspiciously.
"I'm not sure. Find out."
"Oh, should I? But I just picked it up here! Someone must have left it!" She said, with thickly faked innocence.
"Well, you know what they say about finders and keepers..."
"And here I thought you were a gentleman. "
"You're telling me you're not the least bit curious?"
She explored the lip of the envelope with a delicate fingertip for a moment. He couldn't help but appreciate the artistry of her every appendage and movement, his eyes tracing the subtle lines of her knuckles, down her slender wrists to the folds of her oh so tantalizingly form fitting dress, the bulge of her breasts concealed by his shadow as he leaned over her, but still discernible. He followed the lines of her body back up to her eyes, which he realized were looking straight at him.
He raised his eyebrows as she smiled mischievously, knowing she'd caught him.
"Have I told you yet, my dear, that you are breathtakingly gorgeous." He said, grinning
back at her.
She smiled back saying: " No, and I've been waiting anxiously for you to notice."
"Oh, I noticed, but my breath was so taken away by your radiance and my wits so scattered, I wasn't able to speak of it till now without being overwhelmed."
"Nice save"
"I rather thought so. If you don't open it soon, it might spoil."
"Oh!" Now reminded of the packet she opened it with alacrity, at first trying to carefully separate the lip of the envelope, but giving up like a kid and Christmas and tearing it open.
"Ah, careful there my dear. "
She poured the contents out onto her palm, which sparkled lightly. First she picked up a plain silver key.
"Where will this lead me?"
""Wheverever you wish of course-"
He caught her hand and gently brought it to the purse at the side of her chair. "But thatβs for later."
"Optimistic of you" She said, humorously.
"Always" He turned her face towards his and kissed her very softly. Looking into her eyes, he let his hand wander down her neck and then side, where he paused to caress her breast gently. She gasped and pressed her lips together, amused, angry, and aroused all at once. His eyes wrinkled in deep irony as his hand continued down her arm to the hand holding the remaining contents of the packet, which he extracted deftly, and brought up between their eyes.
