Timeless: One Shots

Fancy Dinner Date

After a long day at Mason Industries and tracking down Flynn, Lucy was exhausted. She stepped out into the cool bitter air before walking to her car when her stomach growled. She heard a small chuckle and jumped in surprise at the sudden noise. When she turned around she came face to face with Wyatt's bright blue eyes, he grinned at her.

       "A little hungry," he chuckled again. Lucy could feel her cheeks go red, hoping the darkness covered it up.

      "A little," she squeaked out, realizing he came a little closer. He looked above her head and met her gaze once more.

      "I could eat too," He smirked at her, "You wanna go somewhere." Lucy had not expected the sudden request, but she nodded hastily anyway. Wyatt's smirk grew.

       "Alright ma'am, where would you like to go," he breathed out tilting his head the slightest bit. Lucy almost melted, she always did whenever he looked at her like that.

      "Uh, we could go to," she broke off trying to think of some restaurants near them, "Oh, how about Rock Bottom."

     "Oh a fancy restaurant," he laughed making Lucy's cheeks go red once more. She playfully shoved his shoulder.

      "It's not that fancy," she said with a small playful smile on her lips. He chuckled and gestured to his car.

      "I can take you, unless you want to meet there. I mean I get it if you don't want to drive with me," he said rubbing the back of his neck and avoiding her gaze. She giggled and went to the passengers side of his car.

       "Well if you just stand there they will be closed by the time we arrive," Lucy said grinning at the puzzled Wyatt. He fumbled with his keys and eventually unlocked the car. Before Lucy had a chance to reach for the car's door handle Wyatt had already opened it for her. She smiled and shook her head before getting into the car, Wyatt closing it after her.

       "Alright ma'am," Wyatt breathed out closing his car door before starting the engine, "Ready?" Lucy merely nodded as she buckled her seatbelt. Wyatt pulled out of Mason Industries parking lot and soon they were driving down a dark road. They exchanged small banter until they arrived at the restaurant. Once again Wyatt opened the car door for Lucy and she couldn't help but giggle.

       "Thank you Sir Logan, but I could have opened it fine on my own," she said giving him a small grin. His eyes twinkled at her comment.

        "I know Madame Preston, but a lady such as yourself shouldn't have to," Wyatt replied as they walked into the restaurant, him holding the door open again. She scoffed playfully as Wyatt sent her a smile.

       "Uh, table for two please," he said to the waitress and she smiled sweetly before guiding them to a booth. Lucy sat down on the right side and Wyatt sat down on the left. The waitress handed them menus and left seconds later.

       "It's usually so much more crowded than this," Lucy said glancing at her menu. Wyatt stole a few glances her way before replying.

       "Well it could be because people don't normally eat at 8 o'clock at night," Wyatt shrugged glancing up at her, "What are you getting?"

       Lucy gave a small laugh, "Um, I was thinking about a burger."

       "Really," Wyatt said examining his menu again, "I didn't think you could handle a burger after going back in time."

       Lucy scrunched her nose, "Don't remind me." Wyatt chuckled and watched as Lucy looked over her menu as the waitress stopped by. Once they ordered they fell into a comfortable silence.

       "So, um, what did you enjoy about the mission today," Lucy tried, "Ignoring the fact Flynn got away again." Wyatt smiled at her awkward try to break the silence.

        "Well, the outfits were good today. Nice to just wear a suit and you looked beautiful in your dress today. And Ireland had some nice scenery," Wyatt said, taking a sip from his ice tea. Lucy blushed and nodded her head.

         "Ireland was gorgeous," she agreed, "I definitely want to visit there again just without the whole danger part."

       "Yeah, it might be nice to have a normal trip to these foreign places," Wyatt said smiling as he looked into Lucy's brown eyes. Lucy understood what he meant, from what she knew he had been to many places but they included the danger part. They continued exchanging conversation until their food arrived. They had both ordered hamburgers and dove right in once the waiter walked away.

        As both of them ate, Lucy couldn't help but think of this as something she would do on a first date. She smiled at the thought of this being a date. She didn't know why the thought made her happy but she didn't care.

         When they had both finished and paid they were soon driving down the dark roads again. This time their journey was silent except for the radio pouring out slow country music. He definitely embraces his inner cowboy, Lucy thought with a smile. When he pulled up to her house he turned off the car and opened her door. She didn't complain this time and he walked her up to her front door.

       "Thanks Wyatt," Lucy said turning to face him before walking in. Wyatt smiled and they both leaned in the slightest bit. However before it could go anywhere a car's headlights broke their daze.

       "Um, I'll pick you up tomorrow," he smirked at her.

       "Goodnight Wyatt," she said softly opening her door.

       "Goodnight Luce," he replied equally as soft as she closed the door. He stood there for a moment before walking back to his car. Wyatt sat in the drivers seat for a few minutes before driving off. Why didn't I kiss her, he thought as the darkness tore his car from view of Lucy's house.
