The Taste of Seduction

"You look beautiful Angel." Atlas complimented as soon as Meredith walked into the restaurant, wearing a simple white dress that accentuated her body curves. Her hair was tied in a ponytail and her lips were painted in a red hue. The only makeup she was wearing.

Atlas got tied down with work so he couldn't go home early. He had called her to inform her and they had agreed to let James pick her up for the dinner.

"Thank you." Her cheeks reddened.

Pulling her closer to him, he pressed a soft kiss on her cheeks before he helped her take a seat. They were in a private booth with the best view in the restaurant. Meredith could see the high buildings and lights shinning at night in the city.

"This place is beautiful." Meredith smiled and stared out the floor to window ceiling. She felt Atlas's gaze on her and she turned around.

"What?" She rasied her brows in question.

"You're beautiful." Atlas said.

"Atlas." Meredith shook her head helplessly. Her cheeks flushing.

"What?" he asked, shrugging. "I'm just saying the truth. My girlfriend is a beautiful woman."

Meredith rolled her eyes and giggled.

"Welcome Mr. Martini, Miss." The waiter greeted.

"What shall I get you started with?"

Meredith stared at the food in front of her and licked her lips. They looked so delicious especially the steak. She picked her knife and fork and cut a piece of the steak. She put it in her mouth and moaned at the texture and juice of the steak. It was just perfect.

She felt Atlas's gaze on her and she turned her head to see him staring at her with amusement glinting in his eyes.

"What?" She asked him while taking another bite of the steak.

"Nothing." He smiled, still gazing at her.

Meredith shrugged and ignored him. The food was too delicious to pay attention to him. She tasted the sweet flavor of the steak, enjoying every bit of it. it tasted like heaven.

"You know I think I have found my favorite sight now." Atlas said.

Meredith raised her brows, "What?"

"This..I can watch you eat forever. It's quite a sight. You look cute."

Meredith blushed and wiped her mouth. She glanced at his plate and realized he hasn't touched his food.

"Won't you eat?"

"I'm already full by just looking at you eat."

Meredith rolled her eyes and sighed, "Just eat would you? You need the extra nutrition tonight." She winked at him and Atlas laughed out loud.

"Oh? What is happening tonight. Angel?" He teased and Meredith blushed.

"You have to wait to find out." She wasn't going to tell him, she planned on seducing him tonight. She was nervous and scared at the same thing, because she wanted to try something new with him. Would he agree? She knew he was scared to touch her because of her wounds but now she was completely healed so what was stopping him?

Atlas nodded, his eyes glimmering with excitement. "Then I better eat then."

He joined her and they ate in silence.

"I want to start working. I'm all healed now and bored of resting." Meredith broke the silence.

Atlas glanced at her, "No you need to rest."

Meredith pouted and shook her head, "I need rest from resting Atlas. It's been a week now and I'm all healed up."

"No. rest for a few more weeks."

"Atlas, please. I don't know when my normal life will come to end. I want to enjoy every bit of it before it's too late. I don't want to stay inside my room all day doing nothing."

Meredith shut her eyes tightly, holding back the tears.

"I'm scared." She confessed. When she was alone with her thoughts, fear gnawed at her mind. The fact that her whole life could turn around in the blink of an eye was a bit scary.

Atlas sighed and reached across the table for her hand.

"I'm afraid I will ruin you Atlas. All of this..it doesn't make sense." She uttered, and opened her eyes. Her sorrow-filled eyes gazing at him.

"You won't ruin Meredith. Where from this thought?"

"Sorry Atlas. It's hard not to think like this with everything going on." She let out a mirthless chuckle and Atlas sighed.

He reached over and gently wiped off the single tear that had fallen from her eyes.

"Ever since I met you, I knew you're the one for me. You brought light into my dark world and you make me happy. If you're not there, everything will turn dark again and I don't want that. I want to be happy.with you.

So if dealing with this supernatural shit is the only way for us to be together than we will figure it out. If I have to train again to be stronger to protect you, I don't mind. Remember Angel, you're not alone."

"Atlas-"

"Angel." Atlas interjected.

"Nothing can stop from me from loving you, not even death or this supernatural thing. So, instead of worrying about what is yet to come, let's enjoy the moment. Okay?"

"Okay." Meredith muttered.

"Good. Now wipe that sadness from your eyes and let me see your beautiful smile."

Meredith giggled, her eyes glinting with happiness.

"That's the most beautiful smile I'm talking about." Atlas winked and smiled at her.

"You're such a." Meredith shook her heard helplessly.

"Hmm handsome and sexy guy?" Atlas smirked.

"I know Angelyou don't have to tell me or I will be shy." He said touching his cheeks as if he was embarrassed.

Meredith rolled her eyes, "I was going to say you're a hopeless romantic even than me but sure"

"Hopeless romantic? What the hell is that?" Atlas furrowed his brows.

Meredith shrugged, "Nothing, let's eat! I want to go home early."

"Why do you want to go home early? Do you have something planned?"

Meredith grinned at him, "No, I don't. I want to finish the book I was reading."

"You sure?" Atlas raised his brows in question.

"Yes! "
