After surviving a crazy weekend away with his best friend Trent,
Christian was more than ready for his third date with Kaede. But inviting
her over to The Loft was a big step, at least to him.
|
In the Den, Christian puts the final touches on the
room. An assortment of snacks are set up on the coffee table
along with soda pop. Nervously he set down the remote after making
sure DVD was all set, ready to play.
Christian: [Thinking] I hope inviting her over
to watch movies wasn't too forward. I'm just too wiped out after
this last weekend.
|
|
Christian: [Thinking] Maybe I should have canceled the
date? Jesus, I'm so exhausted. I barely slept this weekend.
|
|
Christian: [Thinking] But, I just didn't want to NOT
see her.
I miss her.
A soft knock at the door pulled him from his
thoughts.
|
|
Opening up the door, Christian immediately
recognized the smiling face that greeted him and he relaxed.
Christian: Ah, Kaede, you're here! So great to
see you!
|
|
Christian: Come on in! It's probably still
too hot outside! Thanks for coming over.
|
|
Christian: I have sodas and stuff to eat over
here. Come in and relax.
|
|
Kaede: Thanks for inviting me over.
Christian: Thanks for coming over on such short
notice.
|
|
Christian: You look... so nice. Are you wearing
perfume?
Kaede: ::Blush::
Christian: I'm sorry. Am I embarrassing
you?
|
|
Kaede: Maybe a little. You're just so sweet.
Christian: Well, I'm not lying. I never
lie.
Kaede: You don't?
Christian: Nope. I'm a horrible liar.
|
|
Kaede: Ok then, horrible liar. How about a hug?
Christian: I thought you'd never ask.
|
|
Christian: This will probably make you even more
uncomfortable, but I'm never one for saying the right thing at the right
time.
I really missed you.
|
|
Kaede: Aw... Christian. I missed you too.
|
|
A few moments passed and the young couple
regretfully separated. Christian escorted Kaede to the couch and
awkwardly took his seat in the over-stuffed chair.
Kaede: So...
Christian: [Nervous] So...
|
|
Kaede: How was your weekend? You went
someplace with your roommate right? What's his name again?
|
|
Christian: Oh, yeah, him? Trent.
Uhm, it was interesting. It was just supposed to be the two of us,
but turned into more than that.
|
|
Christian: It was somewhat annoying, but it all
worked out I suppose. Just waiting for the dust to clear
really. Trent is still sleeping the weekend off.
Kaede: Lucky him.
Christian: Tell me about it. I wish I
could do that.
