The Date, the Dinner, and the Dance

(Please read the A/N at the end! Thanks!)

We walk together until we approach the door with the word 'mixed' above it. We walk in and immediately a waiter approaches us.

"How many?" he asks

"Two" we say at the same time and we both just look at each other and laugh. He spins on his heel and leads us to a table for two in the back of the dining area. We each sit across from each other. He hands us each a menu and places two glasses of water in front of us. I turn my head and look around, there are a lot more people then I thought, all though not that many are dining. I assume that we just missed the dinner rush. We sit in comfortable silence and look at the menu. I look down at the menu and can't find anything I really want. "What are you getting?" I ask Robin.

"Ive heard that they make a phenomenal spaghetti, so I think I may get that."

"Sounds delicious! I think I ll get the same," and I fold my menu and place it back in front of me.

"Copy cat" he says jokingly and I roll my eyes at him and stick my tongue out. He just laughs at me.

"What?" I say sarcastically at him.

"Nothing your just so cute." he says smiling at me. I roll my eyes a second time but our bickering is broken up by the waiter returning. We each order and talk as we wait for the food to come. We just talk and laugh some more. The waiter returns ten minutes later with a bottle of wine. "Could I interest you in some wine tonight?" He asks shifting his gaze from me to Robin.

"Why not?" Robin answers for us and the waiter places two wine glasses in front of us next to the water glasses. He pours each of us an equal amount, and leaves again. I pick up my glass and stir the liquid around before taking a small sip.

"Delicious" I say placing the glass back to its original position. Its but a couple minutes before the waiter returns with two bowls of spaghetti. He then leaves us again and me and Robin dig in. "Wow I never knew spaghetti could take so good!" I exclaim before taking another bite.

"I agree It is quite delicious" he says also taking another bite.

Our bowls are now completely clean as if their was never any food in them. We sit and talk for a mere minute before a country song comes on. "Care to dance?" Robin asks while getting up and reaching his hand out to me. My heart beats quickly and I begin to panic. My mind races to think of an excuse to stall him even further. "Well I think I'll let my food go down" I say quickly looking away from those gorgeous blue eyes. I feel his gaze staring at me, studying my every move.

"No your lying." he says turning my head to face him. "I think you forget Regina, I can read you like an open book."

I huff at him. Dam him knowing me so well. "Your right. I'm sorry Robin. I shouldn't lie to you." How does he do that. Im one to always put up a fight, and he always breaks me so easily. "Why don't you wanna dance?" He asks kneeling down and grabbing both my hands.

I stutter trying to think of the best way to tell him. "Ive never really been- I don't really know- how to dance." I say before biting my lower lip. He stands up and pulls me over to the dance floor.

"Well It's simple," he says entwining my right hand in his and lifting it to be shoulder length. "Pick a partner," and he grabs my left hand and places it on his shoulder, "who knows what he's doing." And we both smile and look at each other before a new song comes on, still country.

"This one is called the two step." he starts to explain, "place your right foot backward," he commands while placing his left foot forward and placing it where my foot once was. "Now your left," and we do the same thing just with the opposite foot. "Now place your right foot back and to the right." I do as he says and he does the same thing with his left foot except going forward. "Now were gonna do those same steps over again just this time start with your left foot." I place my left foot back, followed by my right, then my left foot back and to the left. "there you go!"he exclaims. "Now lets take it a bit faster." he waits a couple beats and counts down "three-two-one" and we dance to the beat of the music. "Your a natural regina!" he exclaims once more.

"Time to get fancy." he says releasing his hand from my waist and swinging me out before spinning me back to him. I squeal and he just chuckles at me. As the song speeds up so do we, and he begins swinging, spinning, and twirling me. We continue to dance and the whole time there is a smile stretching from ear to ear across my face. The song ends and I end laughing. "That was the funnest most exciting thing I've ever done!" I yell.

"Was that really your first dance Regina?" He asks while a slower song begins to play.

"Ya." I say while blushing. He pulls me close and I rest my head on his shoulder and we just rock back and forth to this new much slower song.

"Well I feel honored to be your first dance. " I smile and let his last sentence linger in my head. My first dance is with the man I love.

"Where did you learn to dance like that?" I ask, lifting my head from his shoulder.

"Well I've been planning this date for quite some time and I knew I wanted to take you dancing. I've only been a couple times, so for the past two weeks I've been watching videos on youtube."

"You did all that for me?" I say biting my lower lip once more.

"Of course." he says looking down at me and kissing my forehead.

"God I love you" I say while moving my arms around his neck and kissing him deeply.
