"Um... sure," Richard agreed not thinking anything of it really. "Where would we go eat?" he asked as he worked on the papers. "I mean... we could whatever you want," he stated concentrating more on his work more than what he is saying.

"I was thinking somewhere fancy." He said looking at Richard as he worked. He reached out and tucked a stray strand of Richard's hair behind his ear. Gods his hair was so soft.

Richard froze, his cheeks bright red as he felt Marcus's hand in his hair, "W-We could go now," he stated quietly out of no where. He didn't know what to think. He was suddenly nervous though. That was for sure.

"You're right, we could. Cause those can wait till tomorrow." He said. "I mean, if you wanted." He smiled, Richard was cute when he was nervous.

"Uh, sure... what are we doing afterward if you don't mind me asking? Is there a reason why I wouldn't be able to work after lunch?" he asked looking up at his boss, his blue eyes staring up unblinking.

"Who knows where things might lead." He said with a smile. Marucs hadn't had this much fun, ever. He was thoroughly enjoying him self.

Richard's face was on fire, "Uh, sure. Um... let's go..." he said hesitantly. He was hungry but he didn't know if he was ready for a date. In fact he didn't even know if he was gay.

"Look if your uncomfortable we don't have to go." He said seeing that his words were causing Richard distress. "Why don't we just stay and finish up these papers." He said going back to work on his computer.

Richard turned around and glared at Marcus only to grab his hand before he sat down. "We are going," he snapped, his tone having a bit of a bite to it. He didn't like it when people made plans and then cancelled whether it was for his sake or not. He agreed to eating with his boss so by all means they had better eat.

Marcus gasped. He'd never had anybody act this way towards him before. If he were to be honest with himself it was a bit of a turn on. Though Richard confused him to no end. "You know you are very mind boggling person." He said as he stood. He straightened his suit and pulled out his cell. "You want to pick what type of food we eat or should I?" He asked raising an eyebrow. "Cause if it's up to me I know this great authentic Mexican restaurant we could go to."

"Maybe I am trying to boggle your mind," Richard remarked and winked at Marcus. "Sure Mexican sounds good," he commented with a grin before getting up and adjusting his tie. Dick bit his lip. He kind of worried where this was going but at the same time he couldn't help but be slightly excited.

Marcus smiled at him as he called a nice place and made reservations. "We'll take my limo." He said heading to the door. He opened it for Richard.

Lila smiled as she spotted the two of them together.

"L-Limo?" he asked as he was ushered out the door.

Dick looked at Lila with worry in his eyes, half of him tempted to mouth 'help me.'

Lila smiled and gave him the thumbs up.


"Yes, is that a problem?" He asked as they headed to the elevators. He had already called his driver to have him pick them up.

Richard rolled his eyes at Lila.

"No, it's not a problem. I have just never been in one," he admitted as he walked with Marcus to the elevators.

"It's not always the most practical vehicle, but it's the one I took to work today." He said smiling. The limo was waiting outside the building when they get there. The driver smiled as he opened the back door for the two of them. Marcus stepped aside to let Richard in first.

Richard hesitantly crawled into the vehicle. He didn't know what he was getting himself into but there was only one way to find to find out. For once Dick was nervous, generally he was a pretty cool guy but right here and now he was freaking out. Richard scooted all the way into limo to make sure there was plenty of room between them.

Marcus got in after Richard did. He got in and instructed the driver where to go. As they started off Richard just smiled to himself. After a moment he asked. "Would you like something to drink?" He leaned forward to the mini fridge to get himself something.

"Um... sure," Richard replied as he turned to Marcus. "What kind of drinks do you have?" he asked tilting his head to the side. He was hoping Marcus at least had a little alcohol to offer. Richard could use some liquid confidence.

"What are you in the mood for?" He asked. He had a very well stocked mini fridge. "I've got beer if you would like." He pulls one out and offers it him.

"That would be brilliant," he replied as he eagerly took the beer from him. Richard took a deep breath and gulped half of it down. He needed alcohol and he needed it now.

Marcus watched him sipping on his own beer. He was amused by this man. He let his mind wander wondering what it would be like to kiss him. But he knew he could never do that, at least not at the moment. He had to take things slow or it could be disastrous.

Richard shook his head and just decided to drink the entire bottle as quickly as he could. He was so nervous. "C-Can I have another bottle?" he asked a little bolder than before. "I just..." Dick laughed, "I'm freaking out," he admitted.

"Oh and may I ask why?" He asked hand him another bottle. He went back to sipping his own. They had been slowed down by traffic in the city.

"I... I don't know. I've never gone out with a man I guess," he replied honestly as he opened the other beer and took a sip. "I'm not an alcoholic. I swear to you."
