The next day, Sunday...
The wolf sat on the couch staring at the wall of his small apartment. Thoughts we're racing through the nervous canines head. 'What if he doesn't like me?' 'What if he doesn't think I'm cute?' The wolf was anxious about the date he had with the fox he'd only met on the phone. They were set to meet in an hour, and the white wolf couldn't have been more nervous. He decided that it was time to clean up and get ready. He went to his small bathroom and turned on the shower, allowing it to warm up. He removed the only clothing he was wearing, his boxers, and stepped into the warm stream. He waited a moment, allowing the water to soak his soft white fur. He then began applying shampoo throughout his fur and scrubbed it in deeply, as he wanted to look as clean and white possible for his date. He spent almost 30 minutes making sure he was clean. He finished and dried off with a soft towel. He then fixed his head fur to exact how he wanted and returned to his room. He put on fresh pair of boxers and was faced with the dreaded task of deciding what to wear. After about 15 minutes of looking through his clothes, he finally decided to just do a casual look, pulling out a black T-shirt and a pair of khaki shorts. He threw the clothes on and checked the clock. It was 10 minutes to six, six being the time he had agreed to meet the fox for dinner. He grabbed his keys and walked out the door, locking it behind him. The 21 year old wolf didn't need to take his car since the restaurant was just down the street, so he began walking.
Five minutes later, the wolf walked into the restaurant. It wasn't very busy since it was a Sunday, but it was crowded nevertheless. The canine peered around the busy restaurant to see if his date had already arrived. He noticed a very bored looking fox sitting by himself. He was taking quick sips of his soda and seemed to be in his own world. The wolf guessed that this was the fox he'd talked to on the phone and approached the cute looking canine.
"Are you Jamie?" the wolf asked to the fox.
The fox snapped out of his own thoughts, "Oh...umm...yea, and you must be Dakota," the fox replied, holding out a paw.
"Yea," the white wolf replied, shaking the fox's paw firmly before taking a seat across the table. "I've heard a lot about you from my bro."
"Good things?" Jamie asked.
"Yup, and I can see that he was right. Your really cute."
The fox giggled, "thanks, you are too."
The two said nothing for the next few minutes, they just kind of sat there awkwardly, occasionally trying to steal glances of each other. When they both looked at each other at the same time, they both blushed and looked away immediately. The waiter arrived and took a drink order for Dakota, and soon arrived back with a soda for the wolf.
"So you guys ready to order?" the lion asked.
"Hey, get whatever you want," the wolf said, placing his paw on the fox's, "dinner's on me."
"No, I'll pay for my food, it's ok," the fox replied.
"Oh no, I insist, I'll pay."
"Well ok, but I'm not getting anything expensive," the fox said and ordered a salad for dinner.
"And I'll have the chicken fried steak please," Dakota said to the waiter before handing the lion his menu.
As soon as the waiter left, Jamie said, "You don't have to pay for me."
"Really Jamie, it's ok, I'll pay for you," the wolf said. The the fox quit trying, knowing that nothing he could say would stop Dakota from paying.
While they we're waiting for the food to arrive, some of the awkwardness began to leave and the pair began having a nice conversation about their interests. They discovered that they shared some of the same interests, and that they were in the same Scientology class, but since it was in was in a large lecture hall, they had never known it. They talked about college and joked about their professors. When the the food arrived, they again fell silent, the only sound being the background noise of the restaurant and the sound of the two canines muzzles chewing.
"So where do you live?" Jamie asked between bites.
"Just down the street, I walked here actually," the wolf replied.
"Which direction?"
"South."
"I'll be heading that way to go home, I'll drop you off on the way," the fox said.
"Oh no, you don't have to do that," Dakota complained.
"Please, I'm letting you pay, the least I can do is give you a ride home," Jamie replied.
"Well, ok." The two continued eating and were soon finished. "Do you want any desert?" Dakota asked.
"Naw, that salad actually was pretty filling, I'm fine," the fox said patting his stomach.
"Well ok, what ever you want," Dakota said. The lion walked up and set the check on the table. Dakota grabbed it before Jamie had a chance to even thinking about taking it. He pulled out his wallet and took out a 20 dollar bill and set it with the check. The lion soon returned and took the money, asked if Dakota wanted change, which he didn't. The lion then smiled and walked away.
"You ready to go?" Jamie asked.
"If you are," the wolf replied and stood up. Jamie followed suit and the pair walked out of the restaurant to Jamie's car. "Woah man, nice car," Dakota said, shocked by the brand new Corvette.
"Yea, my parents just bought it for me. But please don't go around thinking I'm some rich snooty bastard," Jamie said, getting into the driver's seat.
"Don't worry, I won't," the wolf replied before getting into the passenger seat, "Wow this is sweet," he said running a paw across the nice interior of the car.
"I'm glad you like it." Jamie started the car. "So I'll just drive south, tell me where to turn." They started off down the road and about a block later, Dakota pointed to his apartment complex and Jamie pulled in to the parking lot. "Wow, you do live close."
"Yea, thanks for the ride," Dakota said.
"And thank you for a wonderful dinner," Jamie replied, placing his paw on Dakota's.
The wolf smiled, "so when you wanna go out again?"
Jamie thought for a moment, "are you free Friday?" he asked.
"Yep, how about a movie," Dakota asked.
"Sure, I'll meet you at seven at the theater."
"Sounds good to me, I'll see you in class tomorrow," the wolf said before giving Jamie a quick kiss on the cheek, which made the fox giggle. He climbed out of the car and walked to his unit, watching Jamie drive away as he walked. When he got inside he started getting ready for bed since he had school tomorrow. He stripped down to his boxers and climbed into bed. He closed his eyes and tried to sleep, but had a lot of trouble. He couldn't stop thinking about Jamie and how much he liked the fox. He hoped that soon he wouldn't be the only one sleeping in his bed...
