Beatrice sat crossed legged on her bed her hair pulled back into a messy bun as she sat with her book on her lap. She'd moved out of her house, wanting to not live with her parents for the rest of her life. Her and her new Guardian were holed up in a nice Soho apartment. Okay, it was more than just nice, it was stunning. The place was huge and even had a second floor and the view of the city... It was... The best. She sighed, Cedric would be over soon. Cedric was her wonderful boyfriend, they were high school sweethearts and she could hardly think of an ill word for him. She returned her book to the shelf and got dressed into a skirt and tank top. She pulled on a pair of heels and a thin cardigan and let her hair down. She stepped out of her room, closing her door behind her. Rovnon was somewhere... There wasn't much worry of Strigoi in their apartment building after all, so they tended to mind their own business while in the apartment. It was nice, considering that wasn't really an option anywhere else in the world. There was a small knock at the door and she grinned.

Out of a habit that Rovnon drilled into her head in their first week at the apartment, she checked who it was through the peephole. Sure enough, there was Cedric waiting for her. She smiled and opened the door. Cedric's arms immediately wrapped around her and pushed her further back to the room, closing the door without breaking the kiss. When he did draw away, Beatrice found herself perched on the back on the couch and grinned, "Miss me?"

"Quite," he said, kissing her again.

Perusual Roe was in the buildings fitness center. He and the other two guardians who lived in the building shared the space comfortably, keeping each other on their toes in the small practice pace. While he feet hit the treadmill lightly, the cord to his headphones bounced up and down against his back, tickling a little each time. There was sweat pouring from almost every body part, but honestly what would you expect? A few minutes later, when he was done, he jumped off of the inside runner to head to the elevator. It would take him up to the apartment that he shared with his ward, hopefully her boyfriend was there was that he didn't have to make breakfast.

Sure enough, when Roe stepped out of the elevator and into the apartment, he could see Cedric's shoes by the door. Taking off his own, he headed to the kitchen to make a protein shake, wanting to head to his own room for some electric massages. That was unless Bea felt like going somewhere, of course it was her day off from pretty much everything, or at least from what he knew, and the girl could very well do anything.

With a shake of his head, and a little laugh, he walked to his room directly across from the kitchen. The bed was a nice size, covered in blue sheets with a small blanket in the middle. His wardrobe stood just next to the doorway, the portable box opened to show his shirts and pants. In a few minutes he'd need to grab a shower in his small bathroom, but that could wait for a minute or two.

Beatrice drew away from Cedric when she heard the door open. Considering there was no knock, it was most likely Rovnon. She peaked around Cedric's shoulder to see the Guardian walk into the kitchen and moments later heard the blender. She smiled, wonderful if he was back that meant that she could leave. She smiled up at Cedric, "We just have to wait for Rovnon to have a shower and then we can go."

Cedric rolled his eyes a little when Beatrice said that they had to wait, "Why? He knew that I was coming over and that we were going out."

Beatrice placed her hands on Cedric's chest, "Because otherwise he'll be all smelly," She teased, playing with his shirt a little, "So... Where are you taking me?"

Cedric's smile returned and he shook his head, "Ah, ah, ah, that's a surprise, little miss."

Beatrice pouted, "Oh come on! Tell meeee."

Cedric laughed, "No way... If we're going to have to wait, let's get more comfortable."

He lifted her off the back of the couch and carried her around. Beatrice squealed and laughed as he dropped her onto the cushions before climbing on top of her. She smiled, "Where's your Guardian?"

"In the hall... Does it really matter?" He said with a laugh. Beatrice shrugged, "Just curious."

Roe headed to the shower after his shake instead of doing the message machine. It made him a little sad honestly, that was his favorite part of his work out. The shower was heating up while he stood in his room, picking out a nice enough combination of clothing to be seen in public with Bea and Cedric. The pants were pressed black slacks while the shirt was a stylishly loose button down dress shirt. He usually left the top few button open to get a nice breeze.

Once in the shower he started to hum, the tunes coming from somewhere in the back of his head. Since he was a guy though, the shower didn't laugh very long. With a few ruffles of gel in his hair and a quick dressing, he was back into the hall way with his shoes on.

The two Moroi were intermingled on the couch, and Roe did the guardian 'see without see' before he headed out the door. Cedric's guardian was an okay guy, but he didn't talk much. That was probably because of Cedric, in Roe's opinion the guy was a complete dick to just about everyone.

Beatrice heard the front door open and looked up at Cedric, "Was that Rovnon?"

Cedric looked over the back of the couch and saw no one at the door, so he assumed it was someone leaving. He looked back at Beatrice, "I believe so," He grinned and climbed off of her, holding his hand out to her, "Come along, Bea."

Beatrice smiled and took his hand, allowing him to help her to her feet. She pulled her heels back on, realizing they had fallen off at some point during their little make out session. She walked over to the mirror and quickly fixed up her hair and insured that her makeup wasn't a complete mess. When she was satisfied, she grabbed her coat and looked at Cedric. He smiled at her and took her hand, pulling her out the door. He checked to make sure that both Rovnon and his own guardian, Adrian, was there. When he saw them both, he led Beatrice over to the elevator and climbed in with her, waiting for their guardians to join them and take them to the car. Beatrice leaned into Cedric on the elevator and smiled, "So where are we going?"

Cedric laughed, "I told you it is a surprise!"

Standing in the hall with Adrian for a few moments seemed like an eternity. The guy was so quiet, it was strange. He just chalked it up to something in the air before looking at the door as it opened. Bea looked great as usual, and Cedric looked more like an asshole than ever. Of course Roe took close guard, that was almost always his position since he fit better with the couple's style. While they were still in the building he didn't think to keep too close to them, but it was the middle of the afternoon,...he figured they weren't in that much danger.

One thing he always hated was when Cedric said something was a surprise. Hopefully Adrian knew what it was at least, so that he could say if it was safe or not. With a little laugh he shook his head and paged Adrian on the headset. "Hey Adrian, do you know what it is? Or are we mostly walking in blind?" They were in the elevator by the time he said it, and he stood by Beatrice, looking at his shoes for a moment.

Today was going to be odd.

Adrian spoke lowly so that only Cedric would hear him and even that was through the ear piece they wore. He knew well that Cedric did not particularly enjoy his surprises for Beatrice being spoiled, "Nothing special. Late lunch at some expensive restaurant... There isn't much to worry there... Although, he also wants to take her for a walk through Central Park. We'll have to keep our eyes open more then. It'll be late."

When the elevator arrived at the lobby, Cedric lead Bea out and to their car. He opened the door for her and stole a kiss as she climbed in before he made his way to the other side. He climbed in next to her and waited as Roe climbed into the passenger seat. Adrian would follow in a car behind, to ensure there was no danger following them and if anything happened to the car, someone wouldn't be stuck. Once Roe was seated, Cedric nodded and the car pulled away from the curb. They drove for a short while then arrived at a building with an awning over the door. There wasn't much giving it away but Beatrice knew exactly where they were, "Oh... Cedric... Why didn't you tell me to dress up! Daniel is nice restaurant! Very... Very nice... I can't wear a skirt and tank top!"

Cedric laughed a little, she couldn't believe she hadn't noticed that he was dressed up, "I know, I know.. But I couldn't give you any hints and how else was I ever going to get you in this," He handed her a bag, "Windows are tinted, change into this. Us men will step out."

He climbed out of the car and once the others had, Beatrice struggled to change into the dress while in a car. When she finally managed to get it on, she stuffed her clothes and coat into the bag and climbed out. She took a deep breath, which was kind of difficult to do in the skin tight red dress. It hugged to her perfectly, almost giving the allusion that she had more curves that she really did. The sweetheart neckline didn't do half bad in showcases her chest either and her already long legs seemed to go on forever in the short dress. She fixed up the beige heels she was wearing, slightly disappointed that Cedric hadn't grabbed a pair of shoes to match the dress. She took Cedric's hand as he smiled at her, drinking her in, "Stunning."

He then turned and led her into the restaurant.
