She did not know why Keme blushed and tried to give him a reassuring smile as the waiter approached the table. "Oh, yes. Thanks. I'd like to try the Chicken Cannelloni Please. And a bowl of the Toscana Soup too." An impish look took over her face. "With two spoons."

The waiter wrote down Relm's order first, "Alright, Chicken Cannelloni and Toscana soup for the pretty lady. Anything for you sir?" he said, looking over to Keme.
Keme got his blush back under control as he looked up to the waiter, "I'd like the Mama's Trio please." he asked, closing his menu up.
"Excellent choice, I personally love the Mama's Trio! Alright, I'll get your orders to you two as soon as I can!" he said, taking both their menus and went off to take their orders to the kitchen.

Her first reaction was to almost look around for the 'pretty lady' before realizing the waiter was referring to her. Then Relm had to fight internally against the blush that threatened to rise, telling herself it was just something he said & that it did not mean anything. She handed over her menu as if eager to be rid of it and smiled at her date. She was suddenly reminded how Keme had said she looked gorgeous and then she blushed. Oh, her appearance meant a little to her -she was an artist afterall- but Relm had never really tried to make anything of her looks. Except maybe cute & innocent, but then there was so much to gain from the innocent act sometimes! Not that she had made much use of it since finding herself an audio.
Yellow gloved hands rested on the table and Relm nervously picked at the finger of her right hand. Why was she so nervous? Why was she thinking so much bout her appearance and the way she acted? Many times she was careful about the impression she gave, but not like this. Not without a clear agenda. Light green eyes lifted to look at Keme and a slow smile returned to lip & eyes. "Thank you."

Keme fiddled with his napkin, wondering if he should have ordered a salad to stave off the hunger he could feel creeping in. He looked up when he heard Relm say thank you and he tilted his head in confusion, "For what Relm?" he asked.

Her head tilted a little to the right and her smile grew a little broader while at the same time more tender. "For taking me out. For dinner. For everything."
Relm was surprising herself with her own honest sweetness. If she was watching herself she would have asked for water to wash the sugar away. "And in case I forget... I had a wonderful time tonight, Keme."

Keme blushed lightly and smiled back at her, "No need to thank me Relm, you totally deserve it!" he said, wagging his tail behind him, glad that Relm was having a good time.

"Of course there's a need to thank you, Hummer." But she was blushing and grinning that he said she deserved it. "You always make me feel wonderful, and when I'm with you...." Her thoughts and words trailed off and she grinned in a way that was both silly and sheepish. "I have to concentrate not to lose track of time, of the things that might be going on around us. It's... wierd for me but I like it at the same time."
Her napkin had somehow found its way into her hands and Relm had rolled it into a tube she was now twisting much as she would the handle of her paintbrush. "I just know, being with you, it's going to be a wonderful evening. Already everything's been so great."

Keme's eyes went wide and he blushed brightly. Right now, he was speechless, because he didn't imagine Relm saying such wonderful things to him and it touched him.

Having said what she meant to say, Relm found herself equally at a loss as to what to say next. Oddly enough, the silence at their table felt comfortable to her and the artist would glance up from her hands with a cute grin to peek at the blushing male from time to time. She wanted to sit on his lap and kiss him suddenly, but that was so Rikku-like that Relm hurriedly repressed that urge. Now was neither the time nor the place and she could abide by that. Besides, she knew she would be in his arms and practically in his lap again after dinner... and who knew what the kareoke place was like. Her heart fluttered nervously at that thought and shoved it away. Relm would not let her nervousness of that throw off the rest of their evening. And it might be fun... Giggling nervously Relm sipped at her water. No... it would be fun. She would see to that. Light green eyes sparkled at Keme and her foot tapped lightly against the leg of her chair to the tune just audible coming over the restaurant speakers.
Oh yes... it would be fun. Even if she had to lean on her DressSphere for strength. And she would get to hear Keme sing again. Her heart leapt. Never would she have thought she could feel this way, or act this way, or dress this way... or have the love of someone as wonderful as the male she was with. Hoped, maybe, but thought? Relm grinned.
Oh, was that their waiter coming up behind Keme with the soup?

Keme himself was thinking about the kareoke after dinner. It had been a while since he sang to anyone, preferring to sing to himself, either his personal song on his headphones or the songs he put into his ipod that Relm got him for Christmas. He looked up when their waiter arrived.
"Here you go maam, Toscana soup!!" he exclaimed, setting the hot bowel before Relm.
"Would it be possible if I could have the house salad with Italian dressing?" he asked, a little sheepishly.
He took his pad out and jotted down the order, "Sure thing sir, I will get that to you right away!" he said and went off.

"Thanks!" Relm chirped cheerily, breathing in deeply the scent of the soup as the waiter left. Moving her water to the side she positioned the soup more in the center of the table before grabbing one of the soup spoons & sliding the other around the plate holding the bowl of soup toward Keme. Leaning over the table she slipped her spoon into the bowl with a grin at her date before lightly blowing on the hot liquid. She waited for the steam of her bite to fade before bringing it to her mouth. "Mmm!"

Keme sat back and watched as Relm situated her bowl in front of her and took a moutful of soup, grinning, "Looks pretty good!" he commented.

Smiling at him with bright eyes, Relm tapped the handle of the other spoon with the handle of her own. "Oh, it is! Taste & see, Hummer!" Her face shifted to a playful "puppy-dog-plea" as she pouted softly and blew on another bite. "Until your salad gets here?"
Leaning foreward to take the bite of soup from her spoon she paused, a mischivous glint forming in her eye. Instead she leaned further, rising a bit out of her seat to carefully offer the prepared bite to Keme. He would have to lean in a little to get it, and Relm was not sure he would. She quirked her head slightly to the left with a cute smile, enticing him to try it.

He nodded when she asked him to taste a spoonful, but he did blush when she leaned over like that, and he didn't have anything to hide behind and he couldn't look away. He leaned over and opened his mouth to take the spoon into his mouth, pulling back as he got a taste of the soup.

For once, Relm was not taking her every move into consideration and had not thought about her leaning possibly having its own effect. Still she giggled at Keme's blush and beamed as he tried the soup, returning to the more shallow lean she had been at before. She scooped another bite of soup, blew & ate -watching Keme with a soft smile that seemed to sparkle in her eyes. Like hell I'm going to admit to Blondie how much fun it was feeding Keme... And despite her thoughts she knew that if Keme would let her she would do it again in a heartbeat. "So? Do you like it?"
