When she had twins to take care of? She slumped down on the cushion, was about to scold him for the so-called reinforcements and the hassle he might've caused his mother because of this but......cat got her tongue when she saw ALL THE FOOD.
Holy snitch.
She might've spent quite a few minutes eyeballing all the fare before her because Dylan was already starting to point out the dishes with their corresponding the labels. SWEET MERLIN....each even had labels. All she could do was stare....mouth parted in astonishment.
MORE STARING.
There were stuff she could recall from their time in Paris, others, she haven't come across yet but nonetheless, looked inviting. Soup, bread, steak, cake, seafood.... She was immensely surprised by all of these. Her eyes just went to and fro, admiring each individual dish. And there were even those that were apparently off limits to Dylan. Profiteroles....she couldn't remember having those before but they certainly looked divine. Macaroons! Her favorite....and in so many colors.
She bit her bottom lip, unable to find the words to say - can someone provide her with some blooming words of some sort, please? This was all too much. She couldn't say anything.... Well, she tried to...opening her mouth but she had to close it again because there was just none. Is this how the Slytherin Captain made up for his shortcomings, particularly not showing up for their breakfast date? Heh. He's done a damn good job. She was melting. He's really outdone himself this time and she was feeling as though she was the luckiest girl in the entire universe. Heck, actually.....with him....she was.....so very lucky.
Then he was speaking up and she slowly looked up at him, eyebrows pushed together. He was almost scarlet......and he looked utterly unparalleled....handsome even. What has she done to deserve him again? .....He always makes her feel special.....and she was feeling very special right now.
Blushing too, Beezus shook her head....."No..." She wasn't happier whenever she ate, "....I'm happier when I'm eating with you.......or just being with you.." Now, he earned her smile - a sweet, affectionate one.
.....But yeah, she was still going to scold him.
The Slytherin Captain's ego...was diminishing by the second as Beezus eyeballed everything he'd set out for her. In fact, she looked a tad stunned...Had he done good? Was she happy? Was she more upset than before?
Hell, he didn't know.
...and if he could stop blushing as some point during this exchange, Dylan would've been so very grateful.
Feeling some more embarrassment, he rubbed at his face...In fact, he was about to open his mouth and say stuff...Stuff like...
"I knew this was too much"...and
"I know you can't be bought with food"...but Beezus has started talking...and she was saying stuff about being happy with him. The amount of relief the Slytherin felt at hearing those words could not have been properly described.
Cue a genuinely brilliant smile...
"So....does this mean you'll still travel with me for Christmas?" Yep, that was hope in his tone. He wasn't even trying to mask it.
