Date Night (Pt 2)

With her tail and ears hidden with a cute hat and her dress, Gelf almost looked like any other girl. The only difference was that she only had eyes for one man and that man was Sorley. The moment he arrived, those blue eyes of hers brightened and she happily took the flowers.

“Hey, handsome,” she chimed and sniffed the flowers. “So pretty! You're always such a sweetie!” she had made a habit of always setting up the flowers he gave her around her home and once they began to wilt she'd put them in a preservative of sorts so they would be frozen in time.

She never wasted anything he gave her.

“Hi.” Sorley smiled, enjoying how Gelf’s eyes brightened. He had hoped she would like the flowers. He wishes she did not have to hide her ears and tail though, it had to be uncomfortable and restricting. Stupid anti-metas. Sorley offered Gelf his arm. “You look beautiful.”

“Thank you,” She said with a joy filled purr. Gently taking his arm, she kept the flowers close and happily walked with him to where they would spend their date for the evening. “How has the day been for you?”

“It was great. I love my job and I have been looking forward to our date all day.” Sorley answered. “How was yours?”

“Busy, but good. I've got the farm all set up and the animals are doing really well!” Gelf gushed happily. “I'm so glad your job with the Underground is going so well. Have you met Nero yet? He's so tall that I feel like a little kid around him.”

Sorley nodded, he was a little nervous around that giant. “Yeah, he’s huge.” He liked the feel of Gelf against his arm.

“I really need to go visit Delilah sometime. I told her I would once the farm was set up.” Gelf giggled and leaned into Sorley. “It can wait until another day, though. I want us to have fun tonight!”

Sorley’s breath caught and his heart sped up as he felt Gelf leaning against him. “Yeah…” He breathed, loosely putting an arm around Gelf’s shoulders. She fit so perfectly.

The date would lead them to the small restaurant they wanted to try out. Most people here were metas in disguise and a person would only notice if they were looking. Even the waiter was a meta, his scales hidden beneath very good makeup.

“What can I get you both today?” He asked in a cheerful tone.

“Water, please.” Gelf answered.

Sorley nodded. “Water for now.” He said, looking at the menu. He still wanted to take Gelf to that really expensive restaurant that he tried to take her to that first time they met. Unfortunately it was not as meta friendly as this one.
