'You take the bathroom I'll stay out here with the boys, the Nanny could show up at any second', Dexxie replied, already rooting through one of her bags for something to wear. There had to be something that was sort of fancy, she was sure of it. With her spare hand Dexxie took her hair down from the messy bun it was in and began running her fingers through it, maybe it would look sort of 'sexy messy'. Not that she wanted to look sexy ... But sexy messy was better than just regular messy any day. When Rory went off in to the bathroom Dexxie pulled on the first fancy thing she could find. It really was too fancy. It looked like she was going to a party ... Or going on a date. Dexxie sighed and looked at herself in the mirror, she couldn't be bothered to change again. { www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=89795857 } When there was a knock on the door Dexxie felt her heart drop as her eyes flitted over to the two boys laying on the bed, and then to the door. A little hesitantly she opened the door and within no time at all the Nanny (who seemed lovely) was walking out with her babies. Dexxie closed the door trying to keep on a brave face.

{ www.polyvore.com/rory_gettin_fancy/set?id=89938258 } After digging around in his suitcases a bit, Rory grabbed up what he thought was a nicer looking shirt and a fresh pair of jeans. It took a couple minutes to change just because skinny jeans are hard to deal with on long legs... but he was out in not time and, well, he stopped moving directly after exiting the bathroom. Dexxie looked beautiful. And so fancy. Which made him look down at himself, noting the fact that, now that he thought about it, this shirt was barely even fancy at all. "Oh.." he just sort of whispered to himself, before shrugging at the situation and looking back up. Dexxie seemed a bit out of sorts, and that's when he realized the boys were gone. "Ah I see you've done it," he said softly, walking again and this time in her direction. "They'll be fine," he added in a soothing tone, approaching her from behind and placing his hands on her shoulders. "Let's go find that food, huh?" Once they'd exited the room, Rory held out his arm to her. He was joking, it was all in good fun, and he was making a silly face to show her that. He even added a little, "m'lady" and cocked and eyebrow as he bent forward a bit. But in the back of his head, he wanted her to take his arm more than anything in the world. "You look marvelous," he added with a horribly cheesy English accent that really just sounded a bit more like James Bond which is strange because he's.. Scottish..

Dexxie laughed and smoothed down her dress and took Rory's arm, mostly to steady herself on her heels. It had been a long time since she'd dressed up, and apparently walking in heels wasn't like riding a bike, you could forget how to do it. The stairs were quite daunting and so Dexxie found herself clinging to Rory's arm for dear life as they walked down them. Of course she played it cool, sort of ...
'Heels are hard, and stupid', Dexxie complained when they reached the bottom, 'Plus I don't know if they even match my dress ... I've lost all my fashion sense', she continued, not really addressing Rory as such, more just talking down to her outfit.

"Oh yea that's why I don't wear mine," Rory said with a cheeky smile, squinting at her to see if she'd caught his joke. Rory wasn't really one for sassy comments like that, but he couldn't resist and step one on his checklist of 'how to get a girl to like you' was "Make Her Smile". After a snort, Rory added, "I think they look great with your dress! They might look better with my shirt but I guess you can wear them."
After a bit of walking, the pair came to an incredibly fancy 'food court'. Honestly, you probably couldn't even call it a food court because it was literally restaurants. Not that crap (and I say crap, but mean heaven because Rory eats at food courts like its his job) you usually find in malls or hotels. Sure these weren't brand name restaurants like Oliver Garden or something, but there was almost every type of food you could imagine. Rory quickly spotted an Italian one back in the corner, and there was a Greek one just across the way. Mexican, a little burger joint, seafood... this place had it all. And it was beautiful! Rory stopped just out of amazement and looked around, uttering a quiet "shit" out of awe.
"Well.. which one?" he asked Dexxie, looking back at her from the restaurants.

'Oh wow, I don't know', Dexxie replied, she'd honestly expected maybe two restaurants, bu this was pretty overwhelming. The place that caught her eye first was the burger place, of course, Dexxie loved a good bruger, but that seemed too safe. At home she basically lived off burgers, no, tonight she was going to go all out.
'How about seafood?', Dexxie asked, 'You like that kind of stuff, your not allergic to shellfish or anything are you?'.

"Totally down for seafood," Rory smiled down at Dexxie who, even in heels, was still shorter than him. He kinda figured she would be, though. Most people were. Rory just so happened to be a tree.
Walking again, Rory guided Dexxie into the seafood place and stopped before the little podium. There was no server in sight just yet, but Rory figured they should wait. He wasn't gonna risk seating himself in such a nice place like this. He might get shot by the mafia or something.
Either way, the thought of seating himself wasn't there long because a woman came within two minutes of being there. She smiled at them, asked if they were a party of two, and quickly led them to a table near the middle of the restaurant. It was small, being in a resort, but just big enough to not seem cramped. The woman brought them two waters and a bread basket along with their menus and told them she'd be back soon. Rory picked up his menu immediately and flipped to the middle section titled 'dinners'. Running his index finger down each column, Rory hummed a bit. He couldn't decide! For such a little place, they sure had a lot of options. It didn't take long for Rory to put his menu back down and instinctively drum his fingers along the edge of the table.
"What looks good to you?" he asked, looking up from the menu, fingers still keeping a solid beat. There was music playing, but it was quiet and an instrumental. It bored him.

'Everything!', Dexxie laughed laying her menu down on the table. It had been so long since she'd had dinner out, if it were up to her she'd order one of everything. Although she'd probably not manage all that food, despite how hungry she was. Although everything did look good Dexxie was a little put off by the prices ... The place was expensive. A small part of her wondered if she could get away with charging her food to the room, then it could be Esme's dads problem ... Was that bad? Yes, probably.
'I really like crab, so I'm gonna get something ... Crabby', Dexxie continued running her finger down the specific 'crab' section. While she was trying to read all she could focus on were Rory's fingers rhythmically tapping the side of the table. Without so much as looking up her hand swiftly reached out and grabbed Rory's hand, pressing his palm flat against the table.
'Keep your crazy fingers quiet drummer boy'.

Rory nodded when she said everything looked good. It really did. And by the smell of this place, it HAD to be good. He was awfully excited for whatever food he was going to order. He also sort of agreed with the crab part. He wanted some kind of shellfish, now that he thought of it. "Crab sounds awesome..." he muttered, still drumming until her hand was suddenly on top of his, flattening it against the table. He blushed a little because contact, but still snorted at the fact that his drumming had bothered her. Honestly Rory had barely even noticed it. It was such a habit. Easily fixed, though, as his legs started bouncing the minute his fingers stopped.
"Sorry," he sort of laughed, looking up from the menu at her again out of the top of his eyes. He smiled to himself, just to smile, and eventually looked back down at his menu in fear of her looking up and catching his gaze. "I'm feelin' these snow crab legs," he said, leaving his hand as it was to allow her to move her own hand. Because let's be honest, he didn't at all mind the fact that they were almost sort of a little bit holding hands right now.

'Those do sound good, but I don't want to get the same as you', Dexxie mused, she'd always hated getting the same thing as other people in restaurants, she didn't want to be seen as some sort of mindless follower or anything like that. Not that anyone would really think that, she was just a little paranoid.
'I'm gonna get crab cakes, that's final', she decided snapping shut the menu with her free hand, and only then realizing that her other hand was still on top of Rory's.
'If I move my hand will you promise to be good?', she joked.

"Ooooh I dunno," Rory said through his teeth, "You can't control the beat within, you know." Smiling, Rory cocked his head to the side and closed his own menu like she had. "I'll be good," he sighed, rolling his eyes dramatically just as the waitress returned.
"Snow crab legs, please," he said after the woman asked what they'd be having. But right after he said he, Rory realized how impolite that was of him to go before Dexxie. "Ah shit ladies first.." he mumbled into his chest, keeping his head low. At least this wasn't a date. That probably woulda been a strike out. Or at least he figured it would be. Because in Rory's head, girls only care about manners, sense of humor, looks and, well, penises.
Yup.
