DAVE'S POV:

I arrived at The Grill at 2027 hours exactly. I parked my BMW near the restaurant and walked in. I was wearing my cream-colored hoodie jacket with a grey T-shirt inside and jeans with Converse boot-sneakers.

I saw Isabelle and some other guy (not Steve) sitting at a table for four that was actually two seperate tables. I sat down opposite of Isabelle.

"Hi," I said to the other guy.

He smiled and extended his hand towards me. "Hey, I'm Nathan, Isabelle's brother." I noted the resemblence.

"Nice to meet you," I said, and suddenly someone sat in the seat next to me. Cheymayne.

"Hey bro," she smiled. "Hi, hi. Sorry I'm late bro."

They looked lost, so I said, "This is my sister Cheymayne."

Nathan winked, "That's a hot chick!" and I nearly smashed the table into two.

"This is my brother Nathan," Isabelle said to Cheymayne.

Nathan suddenly launched into a conversation with Cheymayne and Isabelle and me were awkward, just sitting there. Is he flirting with my siste?

"Um, do you wanna go to another table?" I asked Isabelle sheepishly.

She nodded, looking at Nathan and Cheymayne. "Yeah. Hey Nathan, we're going to go to another table."

"Yeah sis, we're going to another table," I said to my sister.

Cheymayne gave me a look that said 'Don't leave me with him' and me and Nathan grabbed my hand and snarled softly, "Don't hurt my sister, you understand?" He was practically crushing my hand. I crushed his hand back as well and gave him a look 'Don't you do that to my sister too Nathan'.

Isabelle and I left to another table. I glanced at Cheymayne and Nathan. Nathan was clearly flirting with my sister, but Cheymayne wasn't taking the bait. That's my sis.

"So... you wanna talk?" I said, turning my attention back to Isabelle.

"About what?"

"I don't know. Anything."

At that exact moment, a waitress came-by with a slice of cake blueberry cheese cake and placed it on the table.

"Today is Valentine's Day!" she announced, all smiles. "All couples get a free slice of cake, courtesy of The Grill!"

She went over to Cheymayne's table, and said the same thing. Before she left, she said, "Oh, I just wanted to say, you two look cute together!"

I gnashed my teeth together, clenching my fist tightly. I looked at the cake.

"You want it?" I asked.

Isabelle shook her head, "No it's okay, you take it."

"You wanna share?"

"Um....no."

"Fine. I'll eat it then."

At that moment, another waiter came by.

"Do you want drinks?" the waiter asked. "The first round of drinks are free on the house!"

"One Bloody Mary," I said.

"Plain water," Isabelle said.

The waiter excused himself, practically skipping away instead of walking. Weird. Was he on drugs? Something to look into. My mission was not done.

It was an awkward silence as my food came and I dug in. I didn't want to waste any more food, not after the fiasco before my mission at London. My Bloody Mary arrived, and I sipped it. I ordered another, and then started ordering drams of scotch and so on.

It was 9, and I was drunk.

"Can you take me home?" I asked Isabelle, shaking my head, trying to think through the alcohol.

"Where?"" she asked uncertainly. "To your home, or mine?"

"My home!" I said, exasperated. "Dammit... The waiter...spiked my damn drink."

40 MINUTES LATER:

We were at my apartment. Isabelle had my arm around her shoulder as I staggered into my home, and she just laid me down on the couch.

"Can you get coffee?" I asked groggily.

She reluctantly went to the kitchen and made a cup of coffee. She handed it to me and I sipped it. I took a big gulp when she said that she needed to go.

What did you think I do? Grab her hand? Throw a pillow at her head? Act cool and sip my coffee? Break the coffee mug at the wall and cut my wrists with the broken glass? Unprofessional.

I grabbed her by the hand and... said like a true drunkard," Don't leave. Please?"

Isabelle was tearing up, but then she didn't care.

"Dave, it's just over!' she shouted and she walked out. Like a boss.
