"I'm assuming that's not what you expected, huh?" He said, chuckling. "It's alright, I get it." He stood, going to his car and grabbing a diamond necklace from the backseat. "Here" He said softly, handing her the box. "For you"

"I won't take it back. It's a gift and I- Never mind. I understand. I'm not trying to do anything like that, it's just I feel like I owe you since you didn't, y'know, try to kill me or anything when I barged in here so rudely a couple nights ago..." He muttered, rambling now. "I' gonna head out and I'll pick you up at noon. Um.." His eyes were sad, but he didn't take the box anyways. He walked out her door without another word, getting into his car and slowly driving back to his house. Once it was ten minutes to pick-up, he changed into a sharp suit that accented his hair and eyes well. He drove to her house, knocking on the door.

"Hey. You look great." He said softly, offering his arm to her. He walked her to the car, opening the passenger door and shutting it after her. He got in on his side, sighing with relief and excitement before driving them to The Lounge. He gave the name Vitelli to the man at the podium, the man nodding and saying "Welcome back, sir. You haven't visited us recently." Kai nodded in acknowlaadgement as he was led to a private booth in the far back of the restraunt, people not even batting an eye as they fit right in. "Right here work for tonight, sir?" The waiter asked, gesturing to the booth. Kai nodded, handing the man a hundred dollar bill. "I'll be right out for your order" The waiter said, his voice even and a smile on his face. "Thank you" Kai sid politely, sitting and gesturing to Lorelei's seat. "Ever been here?"

Kai watched her curiously for a few minutes before standing. "C'mon." He said, smiling. He walked her out the door without so much as a backward glance and drove her home. "I will be back in five, I promise" He said softly, smiling with an idea. He ran home and changed into a hoodie and sweatpants before driving qquickly back to her house and knocking.
