Mal's Pov:
I had been so caught up in humoring myself about how over the top this entire dinner date with Roxanne and the old coot was that I almost forgot I was waiting on her to come out and escort her back into the limo. When she spoke my name in that small voice that I come to notice she makes when she is either afraid or surprised, I immediately pulled out my thoughts as I glance up as I smirk and see her coming out looking the way she did, it did two things to me. One it surprised the hell out of me and two I didn't even know how to respond to the situation for the first time in who knows how long. No one has ever left me feeling so dumbfounded before or confounded as I felt as I continued to stare back at Roxanne.
She looked amazing like an angel in a silvery-white gown that fitted her figure perfectly showing off her small curves as it came down to her ankles. Her shoulders were bare as the sleeves fell past them and the front reveal a modest dip from her throat to her chest. Her hair even looked beautiful too as it was partial up in a bun as the rest cascaded down the side of her left cheek with a few small white flowers here and there. She literally looked just like a princess out of some fairytale that I've been mocking her about all this time in juvie. Oddly enough she just stood there staring right back at me with the same exact expression of shock that mirrored mine as well. I could feel my pulse racing as I stood there gawking at her like a fool and yet I couldn't think of a thing to say, I simply didn't understand it as I felt like I was...like what?...what was it I felt?...What the hell was she doing to me?...
Roxanne's Pov:
The store owner and one of her assistants had gone wild and started bringing dress after dress to my changing room and to be honest, it was unnerving because I'm not that kind of girl. I don't play dress up, so this experience left me feeling awkward and a bit uncomfortable. Eventually, I had to stop this madness from continuing as I decided on the last one I tried on and they both seem to squeal with delight as I felt myself turning red all over and wanting to hide under a rock somewhere. They both pulled me shortly after settling on a pair of heel-less dress shoes (because of my stitches there was no way in hell I could wear heels) into the hair salon and not long after I stepped out I saw someone leaning on the wall towards the lobby up front. I carried my other clothing and shoes in a bag the store owner gave me as she told me not to worry about the bill, it was on my grandfather's tab, so I turned back around to the handsome stranger I saw up front by the lobby and as I got closer I realized as the pit of my stomach hit the floor that the guy I was...swooning over was Mal!
I felt the heat rising to my cheeks as I drew closer, he didn't even notice me as he stood there as though he was lost in thought, smirking about something nonetheless that amused him. I couldn't believe as I stopped in my tracks and actually thought he looked hot in that black tuxedo, but his hair was still the same as it has always been, that was how I knew it was him that and that smug little grin of his.
Without even thinking as I stood a few feet away from him I blurted out his name nervously and his smirk widened as he looked up at me, but then his cocky grin disappeared and was replaced with an expression of someone that was lost and flabbergasted.
I swear we stood there staring and gawking at each other like a pair of idiots for several minutes at a time until Mal finally snapped out of it and stood up straight as he made his way towards me with that same arrogant smirk and offered me his arm, I took it only out of the fact that I would have felt pretty foolish at this point if I didn't. He took me by surprise as he took my bag in his other arm and was carrying it like a gentleman for me which left me wondering just what he was up to.
He then leaned his face dangerously close towards mine which only made me blush even more as he cooly commented, "It's a shame that I can't marry my pretty little slave girl right now, and make her all mine before this night is over...looking at you now only torments me. Tell me, are you always this lovely outside of juvie, Roxanne?..."
I couldn't think of a thing to say to any of that, it angered me that he calls me that, but then he turns around compliments me in the most disturbing way.
I honestly wish I knew why he says things like that to me?...What is his aim exactly?...To give me nightmares?...
Since I took too long to reply, he went on to say in the same cool manner, "Cat got your tongue?..."
He laughs as we leave the store and stop outside of it as he looks to me, he whispers in my ear in a matter-of-fact tone of voice, "When I take over your grandfather's position, I'll make it where you always look this alluring in my presents so that it pleases me. I'll make sure of it."
As he finished that last comment he smirks wickedly and he takes my hand as he kisses it which along with the crazy notions he was just feeding me only baffled me even more as I snatched my hand away and resisted the temptation to slap him because of the fact that my grandfather was in the car and would have noticed it. Once again he laughed with that devious smile of his as he lightly placed a hand on my back and helped me into the car, since Raph was sitting by my grandfather in the limo, I was left with no choice but to take the empty seat which meant I would be forced to sit next to Mal. I inwardly groaned at the thought but made myself deal with it for the time being as we both were rewarded with odd looks from both my grandfather and Raph which didn't help at all as Mal just sat there all smug like as though he didn't do anything wrong.
I don't care how hot he looks in that suit, he's still an idiot and a jerk!...
As I finish having my inner rants with myself my grandfather with a warm smile he then turned to me and said, "You look as beautiful as your mother did at your age, sweetheart. I wish I had brought the camera, both of you look real snazzy tonight."
I turned red in the face like the hundredth time today and not just because of the compliment, but also because my grandfather was notorious for being cheesy, so I stammered with my cheeks turning red as I said, "Pappy, please stop...this is so embarrassing!"
I could feel Mal eating this all up as I avoided making any eye contact with him out of embarrassment, but since we were so close that our sides touched I could feel him as he chuckled lightly to myself.
"Oh come on!...You, youngsters, look great together sitting there like real sweethearts!" My grandfather bragged on as he poured gasoline on the fire and slapped Mal on the leg.
I covered my face with both hands and groan out loud, because of just how embarrassing this was getting, I had forgotten how my grandfather gets when he tries to talk about boys with me and this was not helping. At. All.
There was no way in hell that Mal would ever be my sweetheart!...I'd rather kiss a jock than see that happen!...
Even though the things that happened between Mal and me earlier before he departed still left me confused and at odds with myself and my feelings at this point.
Mal had laughed out loud at the comment my grandfather made and didn't help the situation at all as he pulled one of my hands down and added, "Maybe we will one of these days, huh Roxanne?"
I wanted to choke him, but mentally made myself restrain from doing so as I glared at him and with as much patience as I could show, I said, "Maybe, but I wouldn't hold your breath."
My grandfather gave me a stern look, but I refused to give in to Mal's arrogant remark, so it was soon dropped as my grandfather then looked over to Mal and then to me as he said in a more serious tone of voice, "Roxanne, dear I think Mal has something he would like to tell you before we dine tonight."
I was starting to get uneasy as I tried to hide the look of nervousness from my facial expression because I wasn't sure what that meant, but at the same time I had a dreading feeling I knew deep down what it was, and I should have known it was coming.
I swallowed as I prepared myself for the worse to come as Mal suddenly took my hand in both of his and with the most serious look I think I've ever seen him give me aside from the time he saved my butt in the elevator he then said, "Roxanne, I promise I will look after and care you. I will keep you safe from any harm and every threat no matter what happens even if it costs me my life. Inside and outside of juvie. I say this now because I mean it. I give you my word and honor as your fiance."
I blinked several times as I tried not to choke, I honestly didn't know what to say to that, and what disturbs me the most about it is the fact that I could tell he was not only being serious but he wasn't lying for once. That must have been very hard for him to do considering how proud he is when it comes down to it and how he prides himself on being no prince charming. Again like before we got in the car, he kissed my hand as I resisted pulling it away both out of timidness and discomfort as he withdrew his hand from mine, I could still feel where his lips came in contact with my skin and it gave me chills and what was disturbing was that they weren't the bad ones.
"Very good, Mr. Mal. Now that we here, I think I'll let you two lovebirds go on ahead and enjoy yourselves. The night is young and you both should enjoy it. We'll come pick you up in an hour and a half from now." Pappy said with approval of Mal's little speech and then the rest which confused me because I thought for sure he was coming in with us.
He didn't really expect us to go in by ourselves, did he?!...Alone with Mal?!...There was no way I was going on a date with Mal!...
"Are you serious?...You're going to leave us unsupervised here?..." I asked with shock that I couldn't hide from my voice or my face at this point with wide eyes.
"Of course, you're both young and responsible adults. I've got faith in you. Now go have a good time." He said as he kissed me on the cheek and patted my knee.
The limo came to a crawl and then stopped in front of an over the top fancy restaurant that my grandfather used to talk about taking his wife, my grandmother all the time before she died a few years ago. As soon as the vehicle stopped the driver got out and opened the door for us as Mal helped me out, my grandfather waved and bid us farewell until the appointed time.
Mal's Pov:
Seeing as the little speech I made seem to have left Roxanne without words rather amused me, but I knew those were the words the old man wanted to hear and I knew when I said them that I was to keep them if I wanted to keep my role as his successor and my life as well. What threw both of us off was the fact that the crazy old loon was actually going to let dine on our own, but he did stick around long enough to make sure we got inside before having his driver take off.
I turn to see that Roxanne was frozen on the spot, I could tell she was uncomfortable with this arrangement as I approached her and offered her my arm once again like at the women's clothing shop. At first she didn't respond as though she was in a daze, but I could see fear weighing in her eyes as she tried to mask it from me as she took my arm and looked away, trying to avoid my gaze which I've begun to notice she does a lot when she is left alone with me.
I narrowed my eyes with mirth as I stirred us towards the doors and humorously said, "Don't worry toots, I'll take care of ya. I did make that promise after all that I would."
She turned and glowered at me as she retorted, "Can it already, Mal!...I know you didn't mean any of that!"
"What do you mean?...Of course, I did." I said with amusement in my voice as I smirked at her.
"Liar!" She snapped back at me as she narrowed her eyes and looked at me with suspension.
I chuckle as I stop to open the door for her and she raises an eyebrow and says, "You can totally drop the act now you know. You're not fooling anyone here, but yourself. I was never buying any of it for a second."
"This is no act I assure you. I am very capable of being a gentlemen believe it or not." I replied as the smile never left my lips.
With no further comment from Roxanne, even though I could tell she wasn't buying into my good behavior which only amused me all the more, I then walked inside and we were soon greeted by the door greeter who had a waiter ready for us to follow them further inside as they seated us at a roundtable with candlelight and expensive looking dinnerware. I scolded mentally when the waiter had butted in and seated Roxanne in her chair before I got the chance to, but I made sure she didn't see my look of disapproval as I took mine as the waiter then handed out the menus. He then left to let us look over the menus and told us to order when we were ready. I looked down at my menu and noticed for the first time that everything was in Italian, the only reason I knew this was because of sharing Mike's body for so long I knew more about the other personalities and their habits, particularly Vito's and his love with hitting on women. Thanks to that peon, I did know some Italian, enough anyways to save my ass from looking like a fool tonight which made me stop and realize now why Roxanne had such a hot temper. She had Italian blood in her. No wonder why she gets upset with me so easily, but from what the old fool said on the phone, I gather she is only half. As I am pondering this new found information, I see that she is still avoiding my gaze as she holds the menu in front of her to hide from my view, I try not to laugh because it was actually pretty funny to withhold.
Roxanne's Pov:
I'm looking at my menu when all of a sudden, I hear Mal laughing so I peer over the top of my menu with a raised eyebrow and say, "What?"
"Oh...nothing." He says as he looks down at his menu with that stupid smirk of his as I roll my eyes and go back to looking at mine.
He laughs again and I slam my menu down this time and narrow my eyes as I hiss at him, "Seriously, what the hell is your deal already?!"
He cups his face as he places his elbow on the table to support as he looks at me with this smug look as he says, "Just you. Tell me are you trying to hide behind your menu because you don't want to look at me?..."
I blush as I lie and say, "No, I'm not and you're being ridiculous. Grow up."
"Says the one that throws their menu down on the table and throws out their bottom lip at me." He says nonchalantly as his eyes dance with amusement.
I angrily pointed my finger at him and say, "I'm not the one that...grr...Oh just forget it!...I'm not having this conversation with you so don't start!"
He regarded me for a moment before he went on to say, "This is an interesting first date, don't you think?"
I nearly choked on the water I took a sip of as I blushed and said, "This is not a date!"
He smirked again as he lifts his face from his hand and says coolly, "Really?...Then what is this then?"
"I...I...don't know...but it's definitely not a date! I would never go out on a da-," I stammered but was soon cut off as the waiter returned to take our order.
We both gave him our order and then it got awkward as the silence settled down on us again. I couldn't look at Mal very long without either getting mad or nervous, so I started looking around the room taking in for the first time since we entered the surroundings. I had never actually been in this restaurant, but I remembered Pappy always talking about the good memories he had with his wife before her death. It kind of made me uncomfortable being in this kind of restaurant with Mal since we weren't really lovers. I don't know what Mal told my grandfather earlier today, but we are definitely not in that kind of relationship, even if I think he's kind of okay sometimes...sometimes, but that's it.
Without being obvious about it, I would glance over out of the corner of my eye to see what Mal was doing and it seemed like he was as bored with this as I was, and as neither of us said anything much after that, the food soon arrived ten minutes later.
I had ordered a pasta plate that came with garlic bread and a small salad on the side, whereas Mal had ordered a lobster dinner plate with some pasta in as well, but I keep cracking a smile as I watched him trying to remove the shell from the lobster. I honestly couldn't keep a straight face as I made myself look down to avoid bursting into a fit of giggles.
I look up when Mal gives me this annoyed look and says, "What are you laughing at?!.."
I bite my bottom lip and try not to laugh as I say, "Nothing."
He says nothing as he continues to fight with it for another five minutes as I try to keep myself together and not lose it, but I failed at keeping my poker face up as I watch Mal stab it with a dinner knife out of frustration. By then I almost sprayed out my drink and laughed, I nearly choked as I took a breath and looked to the side and tried to act nonchalant about it, but I couldn't stop grinning from ear to ear and he noticed as he gave me an irritated look.
"Shut up, you're enjoying this aren't you?!" He finally said as he left the knife sticking out of the lobster and glared at me.
By then I was cupping my face with both of my hands with my elbows on the table as I humorously said, "No. Not at all."
"Then why are you smiling like that?" He hissed at me as he pointed his knife at me after pulling it back out.
My eyes were gleaming with amusement by now, and I could no longer hold it in so I just let her fly as I lightly said, "Because you're the dumbass that ordered it!"
He blinked several times as though he had not expected me to say that or thought I didn't have the guts to whichever one it was, I could tell it really got to him because he then growled and said, "I didn't want it anyways..."
At that point, I felt a tiny bit bad for teasing him, but only a tiny bit considering what he's put me through in juvie, so I then said, "I really didn't want to do this either, so welcome to the club."
He raised an eyebrow like he was surprised at my comment and he said, "That's funny coming from someone like you."
"What is that suppose to mean?" I asked starting to get annoyed with him.
He crossed his arms over his chest and said with a smirk, "For someone that has all that money tuck away and lives it up going to places like this and wearing these over-dressed clothes, you tell me, princess?..."
I narrow my eyes and hiss back at him, "I am not a princess!...How many times do I have to tell you that before it sinks into that tiny little brain of yours!...This is my Pappy's and my mother's lifestyle!...Not mine!...I never wanted it!"
"Really?!" He asked with a raised eyebrow as he continued to regard me.
"For the last time, yes!" I said with little patience left as I glared back at him.
He looked at me for a moment longer and then a devilish grin spread across his face and he said, "Then let's leave!"
It was my turn to blink as I gasped and said, "Wait...What?!"
"Let's just go have some real fun somewhere else then." He said with all seriousness as he waited for my response.
I thought about it for a second and then said, "Um...okay."
That smirk reappeared as he said, "We'll have to sneak out though."
"Why?" I asked with confusion.
"Because the old man and Raph are both sitting in the balcony watching on the left side of us. Don't look or they'll know that we know they're here. I noticed them after we took our orders." Mal said not breaking eye contact with me as I almost looked in the direction he indicated.
"Then how are we going to sneak out?" I ask as I knitted my brow together in frustration.
Mal didn't answer at once as he looked around the room, and my eyes followed his as they landed on the couples that were dancing to some old waltz music that was playing in the background, by then his eyes lit up as he said, "We'll dance our way out. They'll probably expect us to anyways, so why not give them what they want."
D...Dance?!...With Mal?!...Hell no!...but it's got to be better than staying in this stuffy place, right?!...
I sighed with defeat and said, "Fine, let's just get it over with."
We both get up and leave the table as Mal takes my hand and pulls me towards the crowds of older couples dancing. I was actually really nervous about this because I've never danced with a boy before, as a matter of fact, the only time I danced with the opposite sex was with my Dad or my Pappy, so this was going to be very nerve-racking. Mostly due to the fact that it was Mal and not just because he was a boy, but because it was Mal. He alone already makes me uncomfortable so this wasn't going to make it any easier. Before I knew it, he placed his hand in the middle of my back and then took my hand as I took hold of his shoulder with my free arm and then we were both off like we were an actual couple as we blended in with rest of crowd. I felt so nervous being this close to him again and with so many people watching too, and my Pappy on top of that. As crazy as this is going to sound, Mal was actually a pretty good dance partner, he had grace and a good posture as he guided me around the floor and oddly enough he seemed to be enjoying it himself and then I soon realized why. The music that was playing was that same tune I remember hearing him whistling from time to time whenever he was about to do something really evil at juvie. He seemed like he was really lost in it as he continued to pull me with him from one end of the floor to the another end as he twirled me around with expert movements and then suddenly the music ended and he dipped me pretty low and I felt my cheeks heat up as he was close enough to kiss me.
Before pulling me back up, he says, "Quick, we got to milk it, so they don't grow suspicious."
"J...Just a quick one r...right?" I stammered as I held onto him tight.
"Well...yeah, now stop talking, and let me do the rest." He hissed at me and then without warning he stole the kiss, but it was only briefly hardly enough to call it a small peck, but still enough to leave me feeling dazed and confused.
I felt the room spin around me as he pulled me back up and suddenly the music started up again, but it was a different tune and played at a faster pace, Mal took the initiative as he sped off with me on the dance floor as we spun round and round. I held on tight because I was beginning to get light-headed and then he slowed down some, at first I wasn't sure why but then I realized soon enough as he pulled me towards the restrooms in the back. There were so many people on the floor by now that no one would have noticed our disappearance at least not at once they wouldn't have.
"Hurry, this way!" He said as he pulled me past the restrooms then past the employees only doors then finally out the back door of the restaurant.
We both laughed the entire time as we ran past all the doors and out of the building. Then we both finally come to a stop to catch our breath as we both smiled at each other like a pair of idiots.
"Now what?" I asked as he held my hand in his, breathing heavily.
Mal looks down at me as he smirks that devious smirk of his and says, "Now the real fun begins!"
