The Date

Love Day dawned clear and beautiful, and I elected to take a day off of work to celebrate it with Rangi. I surprised him with a Dahlia, then drug him down to the waterfall for some alone time.

He was surprised, but happy - and we both enjoyed remembering our first day together.

Then, I "drug" him out to the new restaurant in town. This was the perfect day to try it out, I figured. Apparently we weren't the only ones who had thought of the restaurant, and there were quite a number of other people there.

We were able to get a table, however, and I have to say, the place was gorgeous.

I ordered lobster for both of us, and a nice drink, and we sat down to wait. By this time, the clouds had started to gather, and rain was definitely on the way in. Thank goodness the restaurant was indoors!

For some reason, Rangi was slightly disappointed at what I ordered him, but he recovered quickly.

Then, a collective gasp of shock went through the crowd and myself and several other patrons leapt to our feet. I barely noticed that my mother had shown up at the front of the restaurant.

Tevin was here... and he was naked. Just sitting at the table as if nothing was wrong. I mean, I applaud his boldness and ability to feel free... but I'm not sure it was appropriate.

By the time the shock dissipated, I headed back to my table... trying not to notice that Tevin was now showering in the rain.

... I wasn't kidding. It occurred to me that maybe he would stop the silliness if I went over and talked to him - so that's just what I did.

Luckily, I was right. Tevin redressed in a hurry, and swore he hadn't noticed Rangi and I at the next table. He apologized, and I headed back to my meal.

It was then that I noticed that mother was out with Father Winter - not Vaea. Perhaps she was negotiating for more presents? I don't know... but after the way the night had been going, I wasn't about to ask.

Rangi and I headed to the bar to get another drink, having finished our dinner. Mine was scrumptious, although Rangi decided he wasn't all that hungry after all.

The flaming bar was something else. Rangi was brave enough to sit right next to the tiki's flames, and for a moment, I worried about his safety, but it was all for nothing. The drinks, of course, were delicious.

By this time, Tevin had vacated the building ... and Mom apparently decided his salad looked better than whatever she had ordered.. and got up to get it. Things couldn't be weirder.

Rangi and I went to the bathrooms as the lights came on, making the whole place look simply spectacular.

Then, I decided - before we headed home - to try out some fire dancing at the bonfire.

The waiter joined in. Rangi, however, professed that he was getting tired, and the nanny probably wanted to get home, so we headed back home. Just in time, too, because I could have sworn that was a Vampire that had just shown up for dinner.

We headed out across the lighted bridge, and hurried home among the raindrops.

After such a weird night, it was nice to be able to do the simple task of tucking in the kids.

... And then going to celebrate, and erase the strange night from memory.
