Benny flashed Mimi a grin. "Of course you're going to win. Who else is there? You're the most beautiful, funny, friendly and just plain amazing girl at school." As Mimi listed the names of other girls who might win, Benny cringed. "If Cathrine wins, I will personally take the crown of her ignorant head and flush it down the toilet."

his statement caused Mimi to break down laughing "oh and I will so help you, that girl wouldn't know how to accept people unless they were wrapped in pink from head to toe." she said.
The Waiter arrived with their food, Mimi thanked him as he set it before them.

Benny laughed with her. He loved that about Mimi - she could always make him laugh. "You know," he said, "She hit on Tommy today. And she just wouldn't take a hint! God, that girl is so... I don't even know how to describe her." He lowered his voice slightly before continuing, "Even if Tommy was straight, he'd never go for someone like her."
As the food arrived, Benny dug in immediately, taking a huge bite out of his burger and washing it down with a gulp of his shake. Realizing he must look like a complete slob, he smiled apologetically at Mimi, "Sorry," he said, once he had swallowed another large bite of his burger. "Missed lunch and I'm hungry!"

"She actually hit on Tommy? Gods that girl is so...clueless." she said, laughing as Benny apologized.
"Oh don't you worry about it babe," She said, taking a big bite out of her own burger so as not to make him feel bad, a pickle falling out of her burger and landing back in the basket. She licked the ketchup from her lips and then picked up the pickle and ate it too.

"That's it!" he exclaimed. "That's the perfect word for her! Clueless." He shook his head, remembering how determined Cathrine had been.
Watching Mimi eat her burger, Benny couldn't help but chuckle. "That's my girl," he said, taking another large bite. "But really, Meems, have you picked out a dress and everything? Homecoming is soon, in case you forgot." He winked, knowing there was no way she would forget such a thing.

"no I haven't, I haven't found the right dress. I know! how about we go look for one, we'll have time before the movie, there is one I have my eye on but I want your opinion before I buy it." Mimi said as she ate some of her fries.

Benny nodded as she spoke. "Sure, we can go, but I already know it'll look amazing on you," He thought for a moment. "I think I'm just gonna wear my suit that I wore last year," he decided, finishing off his burger and moving to his fries.

Mimi nearly choked on a fry at his statement "That's like blasphemy!" she exclaimed. The thought of wearing the same outfit to two dances was appauling.
"I'm sure we can think of something better than that, I know! How about a Zoot Suit? Without the jacket of course, you don't look like a jacket guy to me."

As soon as the words had come out of his mouth, Benny knew he had made a mistake. Never mention to a girl that you're wearing the same thing twice, he reminded himself. He winced as Mimi mentioned a zoot suit, but when she said no jacket... well, that might not be so bad.
"Okay, Meems," he said, polishing off his shake. "If you're ready, why don't we head over then? We'll take a look at your gorgeous dress and you can find me something too."

Finishing up her own food Mimi nodded.
"of course, I wouldn't make you wear the tie, but suspenders I'll most likely make you wear." she teased as she stood up. Mimi loved a guy in suspenders.

Benny cringed at the thought of suspenders. "Aw, come on baby," he whined, standing up and placing a few bills on the table. Reaching out for her hand, he began making his way out of the café.

"Well...maybe if you got down on your knees and begged I'll rethink the suspenders." she said teasingly as they left the Cafe for Benny's car. Mimi hiked her purse up further onto her shoulder and rewrapped her scarf, making sure her hair was still where it should be.

Benny looked at her seriously. "You know I'd do that." he said grimly. He held the door open for her as they left, and stuffed his hands in his pockets against the chill. "But seriously," he asked, "What's it gonna take for me to be able to go without suspenders?"

"we'll see how tonight goes." she said with a smile. "Maybe I actually want you to get down on your knees and beg?" she said as she opened the car door and slid in, closing it behind her, she rearranged her skirt as she waited for him.

Benny smirked at her. "You know it wouldn't take much for me to beg for you," he teased. He got into the car and started the engine. "But suspenders? Come on Meems... you're not really gonna make me do that, are you?"
