Burgundy's POV:

After I ended the call with Adam, I finished the pot of coffee and took a shower. None of us had used the bathroom since Parker. It had too many memories. Bad ones.

Under the hot spray, I thought about my life. Cliche, yes, but shower time was when I thought about things. The whole reason I was brought here was because of my assassin job. The Alphas told me in the beginning that they had my cell number and they would call me whenever they had a job for me. So far, no text or call had come.

I really need to begin training, I thought to myself, maybe Benji would help me out. Benji! My mind screamed. I scrambled out of the shower. "Oh shit." I said, drying myself off and retrieving my phone off the table. I dialed Nellie's number, praying for an answer. When she answered, I said, "Nell! Are you and Max okay?" She laughed and said, "Yeah we're good. I'm at Dean's dorm and Max is with her man. It's all good, babe." I sighed in relief, "Thank God. Adam took me home and I was afraid-" She interrupted me, "Oh that hunk you were dancing with last night? He cute."

I rolled my eyes. "Yes, he's taking me out tonight so if you come home tonight I probably won't be here. Just an FYI." I said quickly. "Okay, B! Have fun, I gotta go!" she said in a sing-song voice. "Bye, Nell." I said, then ended the call.

After eating lunch and procrastinating for a few hours, I started to get ready for our 'date'. I assumed he was taking me somewhere fancy, so I dressed fancy. I shimmied myself into a cobalt blue gown and slipped on nude heels. I did my makeup simple with a smoky eye and nude lip. I left my hair straight and long, water-falling over my shoulders and down my back.

I heard a knock at our (new) door and opened it with a smile. He's gorgeous my inner voice whimpered. He was wearing his skinny khakis again with a white v-neck tee and a black blazer. His eyes scanned me up and down; I felt basically naked with the body-hugging blue gown against my skin.

Meeting my eyes, he winked. "I feel slightly overdressed." he said, tugging at the collar of his shirt. I became worried. "Should I change?" I asked, concerned. "NO!" he semi-shouted, but caught himself and cleared his throat, "No, we're going somewhere fancy, you're fine." he ended, eyeing me hotly. He reached up and mussed his hair with his fingers and I almost swooned. Dear God.

Adam's POV:

I cleared my throat, trying not to ravish her. "Shall we?" I asked. She smiled and started out the door, so I closed it behind her. When we got outside, I showed her to my car and opened the door for her. Getting in, she winked at me, saying, "How chivalrous. I thought you were a bad boy." I rolled my eyes and laughed. "I'm whatever you want me to be, Adrian."

When we arrived at the notorious restaurant/bar, Burgundy's face lit up. "This was the place Dean was talking about a couple days ago! Isn't it really expensive?" She asked, concerned. "Not for me." I said smoothly, "My Dad runs this place." She gaped at me and I gently ushered her inside. The restaurant, Shrimp and Pearls, was named by my mom before she had died. My dad never changed the name, so it had stayed that way.

When we walked inside, I think Burgundy was blown away by the place. I had to admit, it was pretty damn good looking when my dad had all the lights and stuff up with the gold and white accents. It had a grand opening, with a chandelier and a Beauty and the Beast staircase. People were seated upstairs, eating and laughing in dresses and tuxes.

A waiter, my friend Grant, smiled and winked at me. "Right this way, Mr. Greene." He said. As we followed him, I wrapped my arm around Burgundy's waist and held her close to my side. She gave me an odd glance, but didn't say anything. I kissed the top of her head and smiled into her sweet-smelling hair. We arrived at the balcony overlooking the city of New Orleans and sat in the only table there. 

**A/N: Yes, I know I haven't made this known, but that's where they're living right now. New Orleans. Also, Adam's nickname for Burgundy is "Adrian". If you don't get why, go watch the Rocky movies.**

She looked beautiful, sitting there in the candlelight. "Adrian," I began, "you look beautiful tonight." She looked over at me and smiled. "It's so beautiful here." She said. Grant came back with a bottle of champagne and asked Burgundy, "Bubbly for the lovely lady?" She nodded. As he poured me some, I told him what we were getting for dinner. 

As he went away, Burgundy took a sip of her champagne and moaned. "Good champagne?" I asked with a grin. "Is it alcoholic?" She asked me. "What else for you, my lovely Adrian?" She grinned at me.

"Fabulous."
