Twisted

-Chapter Three-

3rd Person POV
-----------------------
It was 7:30 pm on Valentine's Day, the guys were mostly ready, Adam had Sub adjust his tie since it was just a tad crooked. They were all in a sleek and cunning suit, even Seto had a suit with a royal purple out line. They waited on the couch downstairs for Jax, but Mitch waited anxiously at the foot of the staircase. They seemed to grow alert when they heard a faint creaking come from upstairs and footsteps following right after. There was a distant sound of heels making their way to the top of the staircase, Mitch gazed up and immediately was lost in thought. Jax stood there in an elegant pale pink dress, it was short in the front and draped into beautiful Ruffles in the back. The fabric had a silky look to it and had a red lace weaved through the top border of the bodice. Her hair had a small bun on top and then flowed down into tight curls that reached down to her lower back. Not to mention how her makeup looked, it was a very neutral based set. A soft brown and gold hue complimented her bright Aqua eyes, as well as a rosy pink blush and a dull peach lip gloss.

Mitch stood in awe as she descended the stairs, he has never seen her get this dressed up before, he was very used to the sweatpants and t-shirts, not dresses and makeup.

"So...what do you all think?" She laughed when she arrived at the bottom.

"I-I'm speechless, like truly speechless." Mitch finally sputtered out what he was thinking. It was a rather odd sight to see her like this, not in a foul way thought, just unusual.

The rest of the guys, who had been talking on the couch previously, exchanged looks, then had Adam step forward.

"Mitch, we were taking about how you two are always around us, and sometimes we should give you your privacy." He began," in other words, we would like you two to enjoy the dinner for just the both of you. Since we don't have dates, it would be a little awkward."

"Guys you didn't have to do this, we love being around you, don't think that we get annoyed" Jax responded sweetly.

"We all had this talk and want you to go along with it, no arguing." Jerome joked, he was genuinely smiling, which usually meant he was true to what he had said.

Mitch understood the point that Jerome has stood by, and pulled Jax close to him, "It's ok, let's have a nice night, we're gonna be back here anyways. It'll be fun."

She grinned from ear to ear, and gave Jerome and the rest of the guys hugs to thank them for their kindness, and she pulled Mitch by his arm, dragging him to the car. Once they left, the rest of the guys changed into a more comfortable attire, and began watching a movie on the large couch downstairs.

------------------------------------------------------
The ride to the restaurant was very chatty, mostly because of Jax's excitement for the evening. Mitch pulled up to the front of the restaurant and let Jax out there, since a small rainstorm had begun, he didn't want her outfit to get all ruined from walking in the parking lot. There was a small tent-like cover, where Jax stood and waited for Mitch to arrive after parking. She was very patient while adjusting some accessories on her dress, and fixing a smudge of makeup that was on the side of her face. Around five minutes later, Mitch came running up, trying to stay as dry as he could possibly be since the rain grew harder and stronger.

He panted for a second, caught his breath, and escorted Jax inside the restaurant. The woman running the front desk wore a cream white dress shirt and a maroon colored vest on top, along with black pants and shoes to match. Her hair was cut in a unique way, it was very even, short in the back and longer up front. It was a shiny black and had a red streak on the left side of her face.

"Hello, do you have a reservation," she asked, in almost a brute way, but Jax didn't think Mitch noticed it, so she ignored it and moved on.

"Yes, we have a reservation for two, it's under the name Mitchell...Mitchell Hughes." He said, still shaking his arm off to get the access water out of his suit.

"Ah yes, Mitchell, and your...guest," she paused for a second to take a look at Jax, who immediately felt uncomfortable. "Right this way to you table" she said, grabbing menus and gesturing for them to follow her.

Once seated, the woman walked away, giving a small glance back at Jax, before walking off. Mitch seemed to ignore what the woman was saying, and Jax tried her hardest not to say anything, and she was doing a pretty good job at it so far. A tall man, wearing the same outfit, approached the table, "Good evening, my name is Gilt. Chaffer, but you may call me Gil, I will be your server tonight, shall I get you anything? Beverages? Appetizers?"

Jax seemed a little bit more on edge, she suddenly didn't like this place as much, and she had no clue why. The waiter looked around 5'10 or even 6 feet tall, and had a small mark just above his right eye. Jax felt small and weak near him, but she knew Mitch was right there across from her, he was about 5'9 so she wouldn't need to worry.

"Um I would like just a glass of Coke, Jax you want anything?" Mitch asked, the waiters eyes fell onto Jax, which made her uncomfortable.

"I'll have the same thing," she said quickly. Mitch gave her a funny look, but let the waiter take the request down before walking away.

"Hey, are you alright? You seem a little off." Mitch leaned in and spoke quietly. His voice soothed Jax, but she was still uncomfortable around the waiter and hostess.

"Yeah I'm fine, just a little cold from the air vent"she said looking at the ceiling where an air conditioning vent was aimed in their direction.

Mitch smiled, he knew she was lying, but just to go along with it, he stood up and offered his jacket by placing it around her neck like a shawl. She thanked him, and they continued on for a few minutes until their drinks arrived.

The waiter placed down two coasters, then the drinks almost immediately went on top. They looked pretty good, tall curved glasses, an icy layer forming on the outside because of the temperature change.

"Enjoy" he smiled, "I will be back in a few to get your orders," and then continued to walk back to the kitchen.

Jax smiled and let out a deep breath, he wouldn't be back for a while, which would be good for her. She didn't know what exactly what made her uncomfortable in the first place, maybe it was how she had adrenaline pumping through her veins, or she was just being like that around Mitch because she is probably the biggest dork there is. Something bugged her though and what made it even more of an irritating thought was that she wasn't able to solve it.
