"Just a BMW," he repeated. "Nothing special." He'd have to tell Cade later that that was still pretty special, as far as he was concerned.
Of course, the offer going up to five whole thousand threw him even further, only flustering the human further as he asked his question. He figured it was important, after all. If that was what Cade wanted, he'd rather know in advance. Storm, after all, saw no reason anyone would pay so much just for the apparent pleasure of his company.
Nothing could have prepared him, though, for Cade's reaction. He blinked, stunned as the vampire's lips curled into a smirk, as dark eyes dragged over him, fingers reached for his cheek...
...only to pull away as Cade started to laugh. Storm's cheeks reddened further even as he laughed too, shaking his head and following the older man out of the car. "You're ridiculous," he informed him over the car's roof, raising both eyebrows. "Really, totally ridiculous." But he was smiling - a natural, easy smile, a kind that he probably hadn't found on his face in quite a while now. "I would have thought being over a century old would have made you more mature."
Had he heard the earlier question over his internal confusion, Storm would have told Cade that no, he hadn't been to the mall. He did his shopping online - it was easier. And so as it was, he was forced to follow the other, letting him lead from the entrance all the way to the restaurant. It didn't look as upper-class as he expected from someone wearing a wedding uniform, but at the same time, something about the place was so totally Cade's style. It was elegant in a rustic kind of way, simple but with its own charm. Storm wondered idly if Cade's living spaces were similar in any way.
"Wow, this looks really amazing," he commented, voice light as they were seated. "And something smells fucking delicious."
