Paulie picked up the wine and stirred it around a bit before taking a sip. "Actually, to tell you the truth...I barley ever drink wine." He giggled a bit, taking a nother sip. "I'm more of a...mixed drink person I guess...you?" He was a bit nervous in the beginning but now he felt rather comfortable. He liked being with Reeve, it was fun and relaxing. Of course, in his mind this still wasn't a 'date'..no matter what they did or said. "I'm glad we did this,...its nice to pretend we're actually normal people for the night." He smiled, trying to make the blush in his cheeks go away.

Dominique's cheeks went a little red, and she smiled at Red. It was a bit of a change, being treated like a lady. Most of the men she dealt with treated her as 'one of the guys'. "This is a lovely place... thank you very much," she murmured, looking around the room with soft, happy eyes. Their mission would begin later. For now... well, she couldn't consider this a date in any sense of the word, but it was nice to have an evening out without thinking of work.

"I actually don't drink alcohol much. But I do like wine." Reeve swirled the liquid in his glass, looking at it. At Paulie's comment, he looked up, his smile widening a fraction. "Outside the job, my friend, we are just normal people. It's just that sometimes work takes over life for a little while, y'know?" He sipped the wine, enjoying it. "I'm glad I get to spend some time with such a charming guy."

Red nodded. "Don't mention it." He said softly listening now, he could have sworn straight up and down that he had heard someone he knew, he didn't feel like looking around just yet until he was rather sure of himself. I guess it was him just being pre cautious though. He waited for a waiter to bring a menu before opening his scanning it over to see if he wanted to try anything new. "Don't worry about the price, if it's too much the Embassy will cover it." He shrugged then, relaxing for the time being.

"Nah, personally, I never feel normal....I guess just knowing my line of work isn't really...good is the only thing that keeps me from feeling like an actual person instead of a part of that embassy." He seemed almost upset for a moment but went right back to upright and peppy sipping his wine and looking over the menu even though he never read anything, their poor waiter. "Thank you..." He replied after receiving the complement. "..and I'm glad I get to spend some time with such a handsome guy." He smiled taking anther sip of wine.

Perusing the menu, Dominique smiled faintly. She set it down after a moment, fingers skating over the tablecloth and enjoying the feel of the cloth. Relaxing, she studied Red's face, watching him surreptitiously as she considered a few things.

"Maybe I'm just new to the life, you know? I spend a lot of time off the job with friends, who don't even know what we do for a living." His cheeks went faintly pink at the compliment, and he took a large gulp of wine, coughing a little as the alcohol bit at the back of his throat. "What do you do off the clock, besides hang out with awesome people?"

Red's ears caught the voice, heard the words and almost had him in complete disbelief. Easing around to look in the direction of where he thought he could have heard his lovers voice that was complementing someone else. Giving his complements to someone else?!!! A sneer crossed onto his face, oh he was not pleased. Who the fuck was this other guy doing with his Paulie?! Making his smile and laugh.....Oh hell no, this was a fucking date...And behind his back at that!
He didn't know what Paulie had been thinking but he knew that it wouldn't end in a nice manner. He waited a few more moments to hear what the other male had to say as to reply to what his lover had said. He was quickly drowning in rage and anger. He could tell this other man had to be younger and seemingly more new at this. It was still not acceptable to him at any rate. "Excuse me..." He said in a low tone that was almost a growl as he eased out of his chair and quickly made his way over to them and literally just flipped their table and everything on it in one swift motion. "The fuck is this?!" He boomed bring attention to them with the sounds of yelling and breaking glass. "Who the hell are you!?" Red demanded taking Reeve's shirt collar into a tightly clenched fist and hoisting him up into the air, given Red was a big man that was about as strong and durable as a ox. Giving Reeve a shake, ignoring all the watching eyes in the restaurant, his own mahogany eyes raging with anger and furry that seemed as though he would be far past ready to strangle this man in his clutches to death.

"You okay?" He asked, responding quickly to his coughing. He went to reply to Reeve's other question until BOOM! Their table went flying! Paulie quickly reared back, shocked at first then angry. It was one thing for Red to come over and be pissed, though he really had no reason to, right, but anyway to be that rude to his new friend, that was just, UGH! The yelling was silenced with one single sound. POP! A good full-forced slap across the face. "What the hell?!!?"

The table and glasses hit the floor, sending an almost physical jolt through him, and before he knew it, his feet weren't touching the floor anymore. Reeve himself wasn't a small man, but being hoisted into the air by someone without any warning was a shock. He struggled a little, fighting against the hands that held him. "What the... " He cast a pleading gaze at Paulie, trying to figure out why he was being choked by this guy. An odd feeling that he knew who this guy was made him stare down into those dark, angry eyes. "Oh shit."
When Paulie's hand connected with the other's face, Reeve knew he was right, and he groaned mentally, even as a dark-haired woman came up behind the big guy who held him. "Oh great, we got an audience now." He closed his eyes and waited for the pummeling he knew was coming.

Red didn't dare drop his momentary captive. He let shock take hold of his expressions as a nice red hand print was starting to burn on his cheek that had been slapped. He blinked a few time and then glowered at him. "Oh fucking hell no you son of a bitch! Where the fuck do you the right to slap me?!!" He snapped at him after that small time had passed. He leered back to Reeve. "You!" He shouted. "Tell me your name, now!" He took his free hand which quickly disappeared into his inner coat to retrieve his counseled .45 automatic which was lovely, and seemed to have been recently cleaned by the way it glistened in the light. He examined it momentarily and grinned wickedly before pushing it's barrel up firmly against Reeve's left temple. "Give me three good reasons why I shouldn't blow your mother fucking brains out you piece of shit! Taking someone else's man on a date?! You must have a death wish...." He snarled fiercely.

Dominique trailed Red at a safe distance, their meal forgotten. She gasped quietly when he pulled the taller man at the table into the air, then blinked when she realized she'd seen him before. "Oh mierda..."
"Great, we got an audience," the held-up man said quietly, and she blinked at him, moving around to Red's side in time to see her superior pull out a gun and press it to the man's temple. "Madre de Dios..."

"What the hell, man? Paulie and I weren't..." Reeve struggled harder, feeling the gun pressed against his skull. "Reeve, christ, my name is Reeve. Do you really wanna kill me with all these people watching?" He locked his hands around Red's wrist, trying to pull free. "Christ, I'm sorry, I didn't mean nothin' by it! I just wanted..." he kept fighting, trying to remember his training. Having been one of the taller, stronger people in his rookie group, however, he was rather unprepared for this experience.

"Dammit Red! Drop the gun!" He yelled. He really didn't want to have to pull on out on him. It was bad enough that it was in civilian area and the cops could actually arrest spies here. He groaned angrily, frustrated and to the point where he was just angry. Paulie was naturally a calm person, but not when he was pissed. "Drop him..." He grumbled, the silver shine reflecting as the barrel hit the back of Red's head. "Drop him Red.......now." He wouldn't have his friend treated this way.

Dominique saw the danger to her superior, and acted without much thought. She grabbed Paulie's wrist, pulling it away from Red's skull, then slapped him across the face with as much force as she could muster. Granted, it wasn't as hard as usual due to her injuries (and the small fact that she was still distracted by slightly dirty thoughts of Red lifting her in the air and struggling against him...), but it was enough to create a decent WHACK! "Stop it, you!"
