(Vic's POV)

I grabbed the box from the back seat. It's wrapping paper was just plain black but on top was a red bow. I carefully tore open the box to reveal a black dress with one sleeve and the chest area was riddled with diamond like sequins. Below the dress in the box were a pair of silver heels and diamond earrings and necklace to match the sequins on the dress. I looked up at Duke and smiled. "Thank you, you didn't have to." He held up his hand, motioning me to shush. "I wanted to." He shut the driver door and walked around to open my door. "Come on now." He helped me out and we walked up to the colorful restaurant. We walked inside and he looked at me. "Now go get dressed, I'll be right here, okay?" I nodded and walked into the ladies room.

I looked for the cleanest stall and locked myself inside.

The dress was very silky, it showed off my curves and it wasn't too tight. The heels are a different story. I slipped them on and stumbled a bit. I put my previous clothes in the box. I unlocked the stall and walked up to the mirror and sinks.

'Oh yea the earrings and necklace!' I pulled them out of the bottom of the box and carefully put them on.

I paced the bathroom a bit to practice walking in the heels. 'This is good enough. As long as I don't fall and give him something to laugh at."

I walked confidentiality out of the bathroom and smiled at Duke. His face flushed a bright red, he handed me a menu while leaving his to cover his lower region. "You okay there?" I smirked trying not to laugh. "Just come on!" He nodded to the dude behind the counter and he led me and Duke to our seats. "So you never answered me, are you okay?" I chuckled as he set his menu down on the table. "Yes. Why do you ask."

"Well Duke...you were kinda having a moment..."

He cocked his eyebrow, "well Victory, how would you know?"

My face became hot.

"You wouldn't have known if you didn't look."

"Shut up Duke."

The waiter walked up, "Ready to order?"

Duke nodded. "We both want a shrimp cocktail and steak with a side of mashed potatoes." The waiter nodded and took the menus and walked away.

"So why were you looking?" He turned back to me and his eyes shone mischievously.

"I-I wasn't I-it was just obvio-" I was cut off by something soft on my lips.

(Duke's POV)

I couldn't resist it. I leaned over the table and kissed her. She smelt of pine trees and cinnamon.

'She's not kissing back...' I thought sadly.

Right when I was about to pull away she kissed me in return.

"Uh hm..." The waiter coughed. She pulled away from me.

'Thanks Waiter....'

"Your food sir and m'am." He set down the shrimp cocktail and steak plate.

Time Skip~

We finished our food and I helped Victory up from her seat. She looked sleepy, it was cute. We walked out to the car and she fell asleep. "So cute...."

"But the plan Duke!"

"I know the plan you dimwits!"

"Stick to it or else."
