It's a Date (William)

[Dakota King]

It was seven p.m. that day and Dakota was putting on the finishing touches of her outfit and was making sure that there wasn't a hair out of place. She managed to sweet talk the Dionysus cabin into getting her a bottle of some of their best wine. Ironically, it was their homemade strawberry wine with strawberries they stole from the strawberry fields.

Once she decided that her outfit was perfect, she headed out the door. It was after seven, but she figured him waiting a little bit wouldn't hurt him. It wasn't a long trek from the Aphrodite cabin to the Demeter cabin, but she got there. She walked up onto the porch with her bottle in hand as she reached out to knock on the door. Let the date begin.

HER OUTFIT

[Deleted]

Seven p.m. Dangerously close to the time of the date and he had barely finished getting ready, throwing food into a mini fridge so he had it for the meal, and somehow managed to listen to his siblings explanations on how to find a table and supplies for the food. The stripper had thought about it before hand, whether or not to have the food cooked already or have her help a bit when she got there. He also thought about how creepy it might've seemed to be having an at home date for the first date. Most people wouldn't accept it as a first date in case the guy was a creep but...well they were demigods and that Aphrodite girl could probably tell if he was a creep or not. He had seen some demigods do some weird things over the past few days.

Seven. Finally. The stripper was dressed in another rayon button up, but it was an extremely deep blue this time. Folded up past his elbows so he could cook. Faded blue denim jeans that hung low enough to give short glimpses of his boxers but he would never let his pants fall past his waist, nor would he let them be that loose. Of course, the stripper left the piercing in his tongue in, he rarely took it out. If he did it was temporary. A knock on the door pulled Williams attention away as he was just about to finish cleaning the cabin.

It hadn't been too hard to get his siblings out. All he had to do was wait for them to leave for the mess hall. William inhaled deeply before turning and tossing the last piece of trash into a trash can. Finally the son of Demeter moved for the door opening it up, finally, and smiled at her, his red eyes staring down into her own eyes. "Hey..." His eyes moved to the bottle and a confused look crossed his face. "I haven't seen this kind before...Where did you get it?" He touched the bottom of the bottle to lightly lift it up so he could get a better look before moving aside so she could enter.

Dakota nervously bounced from one foot to the other when she waited for William to open the door. However, it wasn't long before he finally opened the door. "Hey," she said with a wide smile. "I brought the drink just as you asked." She held it out to him just as he looked at the label closely. She shrugged as she managed to slip past him into the cabin. "The Dionysus cabin. Apparently it's one of their specialities... or so they told me."

Her eyes skimmed around the room as she looked it over. She hadn't been in the Demeter cabin until now, but she was a little caught off guard that their carpet was actually grass. "So what are we having?" she asked as she noticed the lack of food. She looked over at him with her eyebrows raised. "Or is this when you tell me you can't really cook and I caught you in your bluff?"

[Deleted]

She wasn't the only one to be slightly nervous before he opened the door. For years no one had been able to do anything like this. Hell he wasn't even completely sure if he had a date before. Or something that could actually count as one. They were usually just...booty calls. Then again, those weren't always so bad. And he certainly wanted this to go well. If she was smart enough to trap him into this then he definitely wanted to see what other skills she had. She was an Aphrodite kid so perhaps her and those Eros ones knew a couple tricks he could learn.

The door swung open silently, a smile appearing on Williams face to return the one on hers. "I can see that." He said as she lifted the bottle for him to see before he asked her about it. It was kind of confusing. He thought he knew every kind out there. This...was...Well, there wasn't much to say about it. Not many camps had a cabin of half god children who could make wine from the strawberry patches they had casually in the backyard. William didn't notice as Dakota slipped right by him, his thoughts distracting him while he inspected the bottle.

"No..." He finally said as her words pulled him out of his trance. "I can cook." He turned around and set the bottle on the closest counter, smirking at the Aphrodite girl before finally looking over her outfit. Dear gods...He wasn't getting anything, was he? With a girl who looked this amazing? He had to stop this date. Here and now. Otherwise he was just going to let himself get hurt. Just kick her out of the damn cabin. "I figured I would make you help me out with the meal." Of course the point of this meal was to make him seem that much more impressive so he had to have her make a salad or something while he showed off. "Couldn't let you get away with a free meal just like that, could I?"

[Dakota King]

Dakota smirked a bit as William defended his cooking abilities. She chuckled a bit as she noticed he was getting caught up on her outfit, but raised her eyebrows at what he added. "Oh," she giggled before her smirk grew a bit wider. "Help you cook. So... either..." She lifted up two fingers and ticked off each of the points she made. "You want to show off that you can cook with me helping you or you can't really cook and hope my skills would salvage the meal."

She moved past him towards a cabinet where she assumed the wine glasses would be hidden. She pulled out a couple and then opened up the bottle. "How much do you want?" she asked as she poured herself a glass then poured him one too. "Might as well enjoy ourselves if we're gonna cook." She handed him the glass just while looking at him while she took a sip of her wine. She couldn't help but inwardly groaned in pleasure as the wine was much better than what she was expecting.

[Deleted]

William hid a frown as he defended his own cooking abilities. Of course he was going to defend them. Dancing and making people happy weren't his only talents. He could also do...His mind trailed off as he 'inspected' her outfit. That was just one way of putting it. Another way would be undressing her with his eyes. It could definitely pull the attention of any nearby man. Easily too. It was kind of hard to believe someone would dress up this much for a simple date.

Then she spoke, and the stripper opened his mouth in obvious mock offense. Couldn't cook or wanting to show off? He pulled his eyes away from her legs momentarily to look her in the eyes. "I can cook...and I'm not one for showing off...much." He nodded slightly, giving her that remark. "I figured a Chicken Alfredo and Fettuccini meal, some salad on the side and garlic bread. Maybe something chocolate afterwards...That is of course...an Aphrodite girl can handle that meal." It probably didn't match the wine but William wasn't the one bringing it this time so he had to guess on the meal. Hopefully she wasn't Vegan. "Go ahead and fill it." He said as he gestured to the cupboard with the glasses and moved over to the counters so he was ready to start cooking.

That was before she had that little groan. The stripper stopped dead and turned to look at her as he took the glass from her hand and lightly sipped at the drink too, biting his lower lip at the taste, his eyes never leaving her though. William stood there stunned for a second as he felt the drink wet his lips for him and his vision blurred while he savored it. "Wow..." He said before he unconsciously took another sip.

[Dakota King]

"Chicken fettuccine Alfredo, salad, and garlic bread? And chocolate dessert?" Dakota couldn't help but smirk as she raised her eyebrows at him. "It sounds like a meal even an Aphrodite girl could handle." She chuckled a bit as she noticed his eyes were wandering her body. She didn't say anything about it as she sipped on her wine. After all, she did get his name and a dinner date from him, so the least she could do was let him bluntly hit on her.

She chuckled from his reaction to the wine. "Good, isn't it?" she asked him as she kept on sipping as she walked over to the counters where he was. "What do you need help with?" She chuckled a bit as she shook her head. "Or do you want me to make the salad so you can show off with your cooking skills?"

[Deleted]

William flashed her a smirk, his hands moving over to where he had stored the food to keep it cool until she had arrived. His head nodding in confirmation as she repeated what they were going to have. His breathing jumped slightly as the cool feeling of the food surprised him, his other hand putting the wine down so he could focus until she commented on the meal choices. A small smirk crossed the son of Demeters face as he glanced over his shoulder at her. Enough for the reckless flirting. He could still do this. He may have fucked up more than a couple things in his life but hey...he was suddenly a demigod, right?

The stripper turned his attention back to the food as he began to undo and open various packages for the ingredients he had paid for. That was before she asked for his opinion on the wine and he couldn't help but lift the glass off the counter for another drink, this one being larger than the last few to help him through this, before he set it back down. "Very good. You've got good taste!" He glanced back at her again as she questioned whether or not he needed help and scoffed.

"You're pretty good at guessing." He stated as he pulled a large bowl out of one of the cupboards and dropped the stuff for the salad in it before sliding it across the island to her. "Time for my badassery." He smirked slightly at her before turning back to the food.

[Dakota King]

Dakota smirked a bit as she finished the sip of wine she was working on. "Totally called it," she chuckled as she walked over to the table. She set her glass down as she watched William grab the ingredients from his little mini-fridge. He took the liberty to have his eyes wander across her body, so she was only doing the same and the sight was wonderful.

She chuckled a bit as he handed her the salad ingredients. "I think my badassery is going to beat out yours," she teased him as she sipped on her wine a bit more. She set it down as she started to put together the salad. It was nothing hard. Chop up the lettuce and other goodies and toss them in the bowl. While she was doing this, she was looking over at William as she watched him do his thing.
