One more thing...

[Riven]

He smiled as he walked out to the car, taking a seat as he starts the engine.

 

[No More Pretending]

She sat in the passenger side, looking at him.

 

[Riven]

He smirked as he proceeded to drive out and toward the middle of town. "I can see you're looking at me love."

 

[No More Pretending]

"Yeah?" She asked. "So? Can't I admire my Prince Charming's handsomeness?"

 

[Riven]

He simply laughed as he pulled into a parking lot of a big french style restaurant, his smile stayed, yet he spoke in a serious, yet happy voice. "My parents used to take me here all the time back then, my brother used to sneak my here too when my parents wouldn't let us go." He chuckled to himself, remembering the past.

 

[No More Pretending]

She giggled and opened the door. "Cool~"

 

[Riven]

He smiled as he looked for a certain small table that sat in the corner of the dining area, a cozy little spot close to a window with a view of the sunset, and right near a small fireplace. He sat in the seat by the window as he looked around, seeing a hazy flashback with ghostly images of him and his family when they came here the last time. He chuckled to himself as he saw the three other seats, unoccupied and untouched, until one of them was about to be taken by Elizabeth.

 

[No More Pretending]

She sat down, unaware of what he was thinking of. She smiled at him happily.

 

[Riven]

He smiled at where she sat, "You sat where my older brother used to sit, always makes me remember the old days when I used to come here." He looked around, smiling to himself.

 

[No More Pretending]

She reached across the table and took his hand in hers. ""I'm glad you have so many happy memories."

 

[Riven]

He reached over with his other hand, covering both of their hands. He smiled brightly, "My happiest was when I first met you till today." He replied, gently rubbing her hand.

 

[No More Pretending]

She blushed and kissed his cheek. "Mine too," she murmured. "Remember how?"

 

[Riven]

"Oh, how we met? Hah, by me being a bit clumsy and dropping my wallet, but I doubt both of us regret that", he replies, bring her hand up and kissing the back of her hand gently.

 

[No More Pretending]

She giggled. "No. The first time we met," she said. "When we were kids."

 

[Riven]

"Hmm, its hard to remember... I can remember as far as the Oak tree....", he replied, in a sad tone as he looked away, ashamed of himself.

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled. "Well, I was playing on the jungle-gym, when a group of older kids pushed me off..." She giggled. "I skinned my knee and started crying, but you came along and comforted me when the big kids teased me."

 

[Riven]

He looked at her in shock, "The Fight... I remember now... I helped you..."

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled. "You were my knight in shining armor that day."

 

[Riven]

He laughed a little, "I guess you can put it that way." He replied, a smile on his face.

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled. "And you still are."

 

[Riven]

"And so forth, you will always be my beautiful princess", he replies, kissing the back of her hand again.

 

[No More Pretending]

She smiled softly. "Even back then, you were there when I needed you."

 

[Riven]

He smiled as a waiter walked by, asking for their drinks.


"A hot tea would be nice", he replied with a smile, still keeping his hands around hers.

 

[No More Pretending]

"A glass of Pinot Grigio..." She murmured.

 

[Riven]

As the waiter nodded and walked off, he placed the menus on the table and walked off, disappearing into the crowd of waiters and waitresses. Aiden smirks as he looks at her, "Pinot Grigio.. huh, I never knew you were that daring." He laughed a little.
