WHO: lie_to_him and andromynous WHERE: Cozy Mediterranean restaurant WHEN: Friday evening at 7pm WARNINGS: none SUMMARY: Wes takes Andromeda out on a not-date date. What a dork. FORMAT: sdrarwkcab
[He's a complete gentleman as they walk to the taxi, holding the door open and everything! The driver already knows where they're heading so Wes simply sits back and attempts to remain calm and collected]
[He was blushing at the insinuation that he was a lone soul, and in a way what that just how he was acting? Really was it any wonder his father was so ashamed of him.]
Of course. And I am sorry for simply assuming on your behalf.
So, should we try and salvage this evening with dessert or would you prefer to retire?
[He nods and when the waiter cleans up he orders them both dessert.
She may not have walked out, but he still felt like an idiot and there more than likely won't be a second date. It was probably foolish to have asked for a first date.]

Ah, hello. I just finished up, so you've got good timing.
[No brief glimpses of half-naked Andromeda, sorry.]
[She smiles briefly.]
Didn't change your mind at the last minute?

[He just looks at her for a moment. Not in a creepy lustful way, but in a way that suggests he appreciates her.]

[She laughs, starting to shrug on her coat. No need to waste the taxi driver's time.]
You're looking well yourself, really. Probably better than me, with how I overexerted myself on Thanksgiving.

Ah, well, I believe you look perfect any way.
[Excuse him while he blushes like a school boy]
Um, it was nice I hope?

[She might not have lost everything by marrying Ted, but -- her sisters, her fortune, and most of her security ... that was almost everything.]
Not that I'm belittling your choices, of course.

[And really, this -- could've gone worse, Wes. Not in many ways, but at least she only felt vaguely insulted now.]

I hope your daughter isn't waiting up.
[Not that it was even close to late.]
