“Out at dinner. I get it.” Flynn shook his head at me. “So what are we going to do between now and then?”
“I suggest you get a shower and I’m going to have a nice relaxing soak in the tub. Then knock on the door at eight and we’ll get on our way.”
“What do I need to wear?”
“Jeans. Very casual.”
His eyes narrowed at me as I smiled mischievously at him.
“I dread to think where you are taking me.”
“It’s not far. Walking distance. And you’ll have fun. I’m taking my Mr. Serious out to enjoy himself.”
“Hmmm. Okay. Jeans, a tee. 8pm. We’d have more fun if we shared a bath or shower you know…”
“Get out of here.” I threw a pillow at him, but he sped through the doorway before it got anywhere near him.
It was something I’d noticed. I hadn’t picked up the increased speed as much as I thought I would. Not yet. Strength yes, but with speed I was quicker but not to the extent of the others. Maybe I wouldn’t get everything with human and succubus in the mix? I had a monitoring appointment back at the clinic next week, so I’d ask them about it then.
We reached Broadway and the sign saying Ellens Stardust Diner. I grinned at Flynn’s astonished face. “Come on.”
On entry we were escorted to a small table. A red banquette ran the whole way down, and Flynn nodded for me to sit on that side while he took the chair.
“Fun? I’m seated that near my fellow diners they might make me pregnant.”
“Fun! Now let’s enjoy the flavors of the human food.” I whispered. “And then we can sing.”
Flynn groaned. “What?”
We ate Mighty Mo burgers, washed down with soda; followed by ice cream sundaes. In between, men and women entertained us with their singing, and I made Flynn join in. Once he’d lost his awkwardness, he got into it and I discovered he had a pretty decent voice.
It hadn’t been a place to discuss our business though. We had been sat too close to other people, so we’d kept it to chat about my leaving my apartment.
Strolling back through the streets to the hotel I apologized. “Sorry, when I booked the place, I never thought about the fact we’d want to chat.”
“Don’t apologize. It was fun.”
“Really? You had fun?” I wasn’t convinced.
Then he launched into a rendition of ‘You’re the one that I want’. Everyone around us stared and smiled.
“I guess I brought this on myself.”
Back at the hotel we went into my room and Flynn opened the door between. We’d agreed to have a drink back in my room so I could update him with everything I’d found out. We sat on the couch.
“…so I’m a Cambion, by all accounts.”
“Not any more. Now you have vampire in the mix too. It’ll be interesting what your next tests at the clinic reveal.”
“Yeah. Anyhow, what do you think to my inviting my father to the Bu?”
“It sounds a good idea. Life’s short. Get to know him. I know you crave family… I think it’s why you made the leap to be with the four of us so quickly. That and our obvious good looks and personality.”
Flynn had that way of seemingly staring into my soul and those piercing eyes of his almost made you believe he really was doing so.
“We can get him a room at the hotel.”
“I think we keep Ted’s business running all by ourself.” I laughed. “Anyhow, tell me all about the committee meeting.”
