Valentine's Date for startswinging

[electrokinetic]

Elle had been more than a little nervous getting ready for their Valentine's Day date. She had never planned something like this before. She had asked for advice from other girls and gotten some suggestions, but eventually, she decided on just trying to do something simple. They had both been a little awkward before going out, so she thought maybe it would be nicer if they just stayed in this time.

She had met with Claire earlier this week (not Sam's Claire, but the other one) and she had helped show Elle how to cook dinner for Dean. The first few tries hadn't gone very well, but she finally had gotten a batch okay. She had kept it simple, cheeseburgers and homemade french fries. She was pretty sure he'd prefer that over something fancy anyways. She hoped so.

She wanted them to have a nice time, things had been a little rocky for both of them lately, and she just...wanted to have a nice time. Besides, this was her first time celebrating with someone.

Even though they were staying in she had still dressed up, wearing a nice red dress. She had blow dried her hair, letting it frame her face with a small curl.

She was lighting the candles she had placed out on her table, occasionally glancing at the clock now, waiting for him to arrive.

"I'll definitely keep that in mind for the future," She laughed a little sheepishly. "In movies and stuff this is what they usually drink for romantic dinners...but it's really kind of gross tasting." Definitely not something she was going to bother buying again.

"Thank god we're not in a chick flick, then." He shot back the rest of the champagne, wanting to get rid of it before he dug into the food. Which is what he did straight away to get rid of that taste.

"Good thing," She laughed, taking another sip of her own champange before setting the glass down and digging into her own food. At least that tasted pretty good, even if it was kind of overdone.

The food was amazing in Dean's mind. Even more so because she cooked it for him. It might not have been the best, but the best had been diner food. So it wasn't the same and as far as he was concerned, it couldn't be compared to this. He would never say that thought process out loud. "This is freakin' amazin'."

Elle beamed brightly at the praise. She was so glad he liked it. She'd never admit how nervous she had been that he wouldn't. But instead she just grinned up at him. "I'm glad you think so. You should see what I bought for after dinner."

Dean stopped his bite of the burger midway at that. His eyebrows were raised, eager to know what it was. "What's for after dinner?!"

"It's a surprise," She said with a smirk. She couldn't resist drawing it out a little longer. She was sure he would like it though, and that's what was important.
