Dinnertime
[Continued from here]
After hearing that Wesley was in his office, but busy I thought about going up to see Fred, but frankly I wasn't exactly sure where the lab was. I think I've been there once and it wasn't alone. When it came to finding specific offices and rooms in this places I was clueless. So, I'd offered to take Cordelia out for dinner - on the firm's tab of course. It was always fun to spend their money for personal things. I loved how it would always put a smile on my face.
"Its not like I'm going any where since I dont even know if you guys still have my old apartment. Dinner sounds good. What did you have in mind?"
I looked at her and shrugged just a bit. "It's still yours if you want it. The rent is paid up till the end of next month." I honestly couldn't get rid of the place right away. It was like admitting to myself that Cordy was gone and had no way of getting well again. At first, I'd even gone over to her apartment, straightened a few things up and sat staring at the TV which I never bothered to turn on. Dennis could tell something was wrong, but seemed glad for the company - although I'm not sure how good of a guest I was. I told him eventually what had happened and from the way I could figure out his reaction, I knew he didn't take it well. It wasn't long after that I stopped going over there regularly. It had been at least a month since I'd been over to the apartment.
Sighing a bit, I smiled. "I hadn't exactly had anything picked out in mind. Is there anything you'd like?" After all, she'd been the one to just have woken up from a several month long coma. Anything that she wanted I'm sure I could handle. It's not like I really needed the food anyway. I thought against taking a car. For some reason, I just wanted to walk out of those doors and walk down the street with her. Maybe doing that would seem more like the way things used to be. The way things were before I took over Wolfram and Hart.
"We could take a walk and maybe something will come to mind?"
At her nod, we made our way back down to the main floor and out the doors. We now stood out on the street and I looked up at the sky. It wasn't pitch dark quite yet, but it was dark enough to walk around. Looking around where we were standing I wondered exactly which direction to go. I frowned when I spotted a young girl standing outside of the office. She was just standing there looking around. I really didn't need to get in one of the 'I help the hopeless' modes right now. She didn't look hopeless..helpless.. whatever, but just a little lost. That's it - she was just lost. I'm sure she'd find her way back to where ever she needed to go.
Turning back to Cordy, I smiled. Tonight would be about us spending some time together. We had months to make up for, after all. I wasn't really sure what would happen between us, or if I wanted anything to happen. I still love her, sure, but sometimes that wasn't enough. It hadn't been before.
"So, you have any sort of craving yet?"
