SOMETHING SPECIAL
* 2 *
'Trinity, Come, we must check out a program in the Construct..' Neo put a hand on her arm. They were in her quarter, it was late at night.
'Now' she wondered with a shock. 'It's too late for a training. We do it tomorrow.' she protested.
'It can't wait till tomorrow. Morpheus wants us to be prepared for the morning.' he told her firmly. 'Sorry, but if duty calls...'
She frowned.
'Since when are you so enthusiastic about working in the middle of the night?' she asked, cynically raising her eyebrows.
He grinned. 'Since I have been paired with you..'
She grimaced at him. 'I'll kick your ass...'
He shrugged smirking. 'Don't care.'
'Ok then', she took a breath. 'Let's get over with it. I want to have some sleep too.' she headed to the door. 'But I will kill Morpheus for this...' she murmured angrily.
Neo smiled and followed her.
'Ok Tank, load us up!' Neo ordered, laying back in his chair in the Core. Trinity was laying in the chair beside him.
'Right guys, please fasten your seatbelts and enjoy the journey!' he grinned and pushed the loading up button.
Neo and Trinity closed their eyes and the slight flash of pain on their face signed that they has entered the Construct.
They opened their eyes, blinking a bit.
Trinity was about to take the starting-pose on, but suddenly stopped. She examined her look with widened eyes. Her face showed her astonishment.
'What the hell..?', she gasped as she looked on her clothing. She was wearing a long, wine-red evening dress made of velvet instead of her usual training outfit.
She glanced at Neo and her breath almost stopped. He was wearing a black suit with gray shirt. As if he would have stepped out of a fashion-magazine. She had to admit that he was really cute in it.
He smiled at her shining. Something told her that it wasn't all a coincidence, but that Neo had something to do with it.
She just stared at him still shocked, her mouth open, puzzled expression on her face. 'Neo...?'
He watched her reaction with delight. That was what he wanted - to surprise her. To amaze her.
'Don't be scared, Trin.' he reassured her still smiling. 'Everything is ok. I had to lie that we have to work in order you don't get suspicious. I wanted to surprise you. I wanted you to have a memorable evening.'
'But...', she still couldn't believe that all this was happening to her.
'I asked Tank to help me.' Neo continued, touching her arm gently. 'I know how much you miss some things of the Matrix. And 'cause I can't take you to any safe place there, I decided to use the Construct. Morpheus had said that anything might be downloaded in here. Anything. Tank!'
In the next second their surroundings changed into a pleasant restaurant with a beautifully laid table, comfortable chairs, and low music playing in the background.
Trinity just stared, gasping in surprise. She couldn't believe it. It must be a dream.
Neo squeezed her arm.
'Happy birthday, Trinity!' he whispered into her ear.
She turned to face him.
'Where did you know...?' she smiled surprised and touched.
He grinned. 'I have my own source of information...'
She smiled. 'I can guess...'
'But where did you get this weird idea?' she inquired.
He stared into her blue eyes.
'You had complained about the food many times lately and longed for the Matrix meal, so I thought to arrange a delicious dinner for you... I wanted it to be special...'
'Neo...' she smiled happily locking his eyes. 'I love you so much..' she whispered.
He stared at her and caressed her cheek tenderly. She put her hand on his and pulled him into a passionate kiss. He kissed her back fervourish and inhaled her fascinating smell. God, what he would do for this woman, he thought.
They parted reluctantly, out of breath.
'You're beautiful.' he murmured, amazed by her look. 'No matter what you wear, you're incredible. But in this...God, you're an angel...'
She blushed slightly.
'You also spin my fantasy up in this outfit..' she winked.
He could feel her hot breath on his face.
He smirked. 'I guess we should start our dinner.' he suggested and led her to the table.
Tank leaned back, grinning in his chair. Though he had promised Neo not to watch them while they were in the Construct, he could hardly resist it. He hoped the others won't take an unusual walk in the middle of the night. He couldn't explain this all to their companion.
