..and his...

Giving a smile at Dani Dalton was please to see the smile on her face as she puts the flowers in the vase. Going back to the stove again Dalton check on the dinner turning just in time to see Dani drop the flower and her hand shaking.

Coming over to her Dalton looks down at her concern in his eyes he really was worried.

"Sure, we can eat and watch a movie I have no problem with that."

Continuing to look at Dani Dalton takes a few steps closer. Reaching out and putting his hand on her chin he tilts it upwards to look her in the eyes.

"What bothering you today Dani? I can tell somethings not right your not normal this jumpy even when it is a bad day! What happened?"

Smiling as Wyatt leans over and gives her a kiss Aerith was so happy he liked it. She'd looked for hours on a gift for him and finally had liked that wallet and the personalization made it even better.

"I'm happy you liked it. I new you needed a new one and only hopping you weren't attached to much to the old one."

Griving a smile Aerith's eyes glittered as Wyatt gave her a kiss on the cheek. It was the simple moments she loved the most and was happy for everyone!

"Now about about grub. Chinese, or bother you dad and his...and...Angelica!"

Love it

"Mmm." Dani's cheeks gain a little rosy color as she sees Dalton had prepared things just for her tonight, even remembering the way she liked her sauce.

She giggles a little as he retrieves the vase. "I'm impressed you have a vase at all. A few months ago when Carson was still with me, I asked him if we had a vase and he grabbed an empty beer bottle. Said the green matched the flower stems." She rolls her eyes and sets about taking care of the flowers, having to stop once or twice to smell them again.

Taking one and just holding the soft petals to her cheek, she feels Dalton's gaze and looks over to see him studying her. Her eyes lock with his, and for an instant, it felt like someone was pulling something from her inner soul... something that made a chill run down her spine.

Looking away quickly, she swallows hard and concentrates on arranging the roses. "I'm sorry," she apologizes. "I guess I'm not the most fantastic company tonight. Just... one of those days... or something." She stares at the flowers as the same strange feeling of dread settles over her and she again fights to keep unknown images from entering her mind. Images that were dark... frightening. Yet without seeing them, how could she feel them... it was as if she already knew what they were, but her heart would not admit it.

The sound of a car horn down the street makes her jump violently enough that she drops one of the flowers on the table, her hands shaking. "Crap... everything's got me jumping tonight." Wrapping her arms around herself, she suddenly felt a little cold. "Can we eat in the living room while we watch a movie?" She needed a distraction... a comfy seat and something to keep her mind occupied.


Quirking an eyebrows, Wyatt opens the glove box hesitantly. Pulling out the little package, a new grin emerges. "Aww... you remembered."

Carefully unwrapping the gift and finding the leather wallet, his smile grows even more. "You are amazing, you know that?"

Even though Aerith was driving, Wyatt leans over and gives her cheek a kiss. "Thank you, Aerith... I love it."

For you!

Continuing to study Dani Dalton can still see the look in her eye. Something really was wrong and it was a bit odd she didn't want to talk about it but he wouldnt push her to much. If she really wanted to talk about it she would right?

Going back to the stove Dalton lifts the top on the pot that had the spaghetti cooking. Giving a strong wif before turning to Dani and smiling again.

"Chicken parmesan, Salad, and garlic bread, and I made sure to make the sauce the way you like it."

Taking a towel and whipping his hands off Dalton goes over to another cabinet and grabs down a vase.

"Here, lets put those flowers in some water so they don't wither on you. You can just bring be back the vase whenever, I dont buy myself flowers."

Dalton gives a litttle laugh before turning to Dani again with the vace. Cocking his head her gives a smile but continues to study her.

Being bounced around a little Ryan puts more oomph into it bouncing a more than normal, but hearing her brother mention pink paint. Blinking for a moment she just stairs at him before shaking her head.

"Nooo.....way am I wearing pink paint. I think I'll pass after all."

Her eyes follow after her brother as he lists off the other colors. Raising her eyebrow her mouth almost dropped untill it turned into a grain as she can't help but wonder what Eli was up to.

"Whatever your planning I have a feeling its going to be a blast watching the look on Roth's face."

"Chinese sounds good, but than again having lunch with you Dad and Angelica sounds like fun too."

Pulling out of the parking light Aerith gives a laugh shaking her head a little. Looking at Wyatt out of the corner of her eye. Nodding to the glove box and smiles.

"There is something in the glove box for you. Just a little something."

Inside was a package wrapped in a small box with a red bow on top. Inside leather wallet a Wolf engraved on the outside and in the inside were the words love, cherish and the other side was both there names. Attached to it was a small chain for his pocket with a little note that said Happy Birthday.

Pink

"Reminds me too much of myself... right." Carson rolls his eyes as he starts out of the TJY parking lot.

Misty's comment of a Banks being tamed brings a grin to his face. "I don't know... looks like you've done a pretty good job of that." Glancing at her out of the corner of his eye, he reaches over to ruffle her hair lovingly. "But I guess it's not so bad."


Wyatt can't help but laugh at Aerith's chiding as he goes around to the passenger side and gets in. "If I didn't tease you, you'd think I was neglecting you."

Buckling up, he takes a deep breath. "I'm thinking... Chinese. Either that or we can wait a few minutes and follow my dad and Angelica and show up at the next table over just to be ornery."


Alec bounces Ryan on his lap a little to tease her. "You think I wanna go up against your brother? I don't know - I've heard some pretty interesting stories. I might be too scared."

"Uh-huh." Eli's eyes are narrowed with sarcasm. "Sorry I don't have any camo paint, Speedy. All I got is pink."

Alec's eyebrows rise, again wondering at this secret paint job. "Pink. You have... pink paint."

"Well that and some white... and maybe some yellow... purple...." Eli grins and stands up to take his empty beer bottle to the counter.

"So um..." Alec cocks his head. "How are you planning to not get caught anyway? I mean after the fact. Roth's gonna know it was you or us."

"Ah, but will he be able to prove it?"

"Pink paint... come on. Eli McKade with pink paint in his possession?"

Eli's grin widens. "Don't you worry about a thing."


Seeing Dalton, Dani smiles and enters his apartment, following towards the kitchen were it smelled awfully good. Having the roses presented to her, her smile widens and she accepts them a little shyly. "Oh, Dalton, these are beautiful.... thank you."

She smells of their sweet fragrance before feeling Dalton's hand on her cheek and receiving his gentle kiss. Looking up at him, she puts a hand over his, keeping his palm on her face. It felt so warm and strong and safe.

At the same time though, his question revealed to her that the inner turmoil she was feeling was apparently evident in her eyes. She hadn't meant it to be. Whatever was bothering her must be something silly if she couldn't even think of what it was.

"Yeah... yeah, I'm okay." She nods and forces another smile, though her eyes lack the shine that should go along with it.

Dropping her gaze, she looks at the roses again, admiring them. "These smell good... but whatever is cooking smells really good too. What's the hulk got cooking tonight?"
