Monster Hunters: Beat Grave and Erina Hell's Adventures.

Chapter 36: The date

Beat was going to get his car. He had decided to go to a normal restaurant to have dinner with Erina, but he was nervous. He never had a date and he truly was a newbie at dating. Still, this could not be called a date. Or yes? Not even Beat was sure of that and that made him fear that Erina could take it in the wrong way.
Still Beat was not the man who owed something and did not pay back. And he owed one to Erina, so he'd pay back no matter what happened.
Beat took a black shirt, black trousers and black shoes. Everyone said to Beat that black clothes always were good for him. Still he had his doubts, he did not want this to be a date but he could not stop thinking that this was the closest thing he could call a date.
-Beat: “Maybe I'm lucky or maybe I'm unlucky. If I'm lucky, today I'll be the happiest man on earth. If not, well at least I tried! And I'm just enough stubborn to try again!"
Beat grabbed his car and started driving to Erina's house.

In half an hour, Beat was in Erina's house door waiting for Erina. Still he was impressed that Erina could be happy already. She could understand that she had to kill to survive.
-Beat: “Or she's faking that smile or she has assumed that sometimes you have to kill your enemy? Either way she's happy and that makes me happy!"
Erina got out of the house and was stunned when he saw her. Erina was sexy but she really prepared for the dinner.
-Erina: I show too much?
-Beat: (blushes) NO! Not at all! You look absolutely beautiful!
-Erina: Thanks! Shall we go?
-Beat: Yes.

Beat and Erina went to a restaurant that Beat knew. It was an italian restaurant with a little of story. That restaurant was opened at first by a mafioso that controlled all the city at first and it was themed to be like the mafia. It was really popular and gained a lot of money, until the mafioso died. His son mishandled the restaurant and almost it closed until a skeleton bought it and made it one of the best restaurants in the world keeping the theme of mafia, with a little change that made it more romantic.
The last owner knew Beat and was a good friend of his. Still Beat never had brought a girl and that surprised the skeleton.
-Beat: Table for two, Vito.
-Vito: And who is that girl? A girlfriend maybe?
-Beat: My companion. And she was in danger thanks to me. So I'm making up for it.
-Vito: You and your good heart. Follow me.
Vito led the two monster hunters to a table that was near the bathroom and had a view of the entire city.
-Vito: Beat, lady, what do you want to drink?
-Beat: Water, please.
-Erina: My name is Erina and I want water too to drink.
-Vito: Okay. And for first dish? That way we start preparing it.
-Beat: I'll grab the spaghetti.
-Erina: What there is for first dish?
-Vito: Spaghetti, a salad with tuna and lasagne.
-Erina: Okay, then spaghetti.
-Vito: (smiles) Perfect. I'll go getting ready the spaghetti.
Vito leaves.

Beat was trying to calm himself down and thinking what to say. He really did not want to mess up but  when Vito brought the spaghetti, he knew that he had messed up in the worst possible way.
Vito brought only a big plate filled with spaghetti. When, in a table of two, the two asked the same think for first dish, Vito always did a big plate of what the two asked. And in worst case, the spaghetti. The chances to end up kissing the other were really high when this happens, because some spaghetti have an end in each side and if you aimed it well, you could provoke that.
Erina was surprised and red faced. She couldn't think that this could happen. But surprise, it happened.
-Erina: Well, time to dig in!
-Beat: Yeah... “Vitooooo! You bastard! If that happens, maybe I really mess up!"
Beat and Erina started eating while talking of hobbies, things that both liked. But then Beat grabbed a spaghetti that could not grab entirely with the fork and he started eating it following it and Erina was doing the same, and they really did not notice that they were eating the sane spaghetti until it was too late and they kissed. Beat was in shock and couldn't move, Erina and Beat blushed and both separated quickly.
-Beat: I'm deeply sorry! I did not want to do that!
-Erina: I really did not want to steal a kiss from you!
Vito took a photo of both kissing and sent it to Vinnie. Then gunfire was heard. A couple of thieves were trying to steal in the restaurant. Vito went to grab the shotgun and Beat and Erina grabbed their guns.

You could say that the date is igniting! I hope you liked this chapter.
