Kaede: ::Peeks::
Where is he?
|
|
Sometime Later, a Motorcycle hums in.
|
|
Kaede: [Thinking] Motorcycle? No, it couldn't
be....
|
|
Kaede peeked through the peephole.
Kaede: [Thinking] Oh...my....God....
|
|
Her heart suddenly began to beat faster and faster.
Kaede: [Thinking] He's here...and...riding a bike!
|
|
Christian: [Thinking] I think this is the
place.
I'm so freaken nervous I misread the mapquest
directions.
So, typical.
Jesus, I could get lost getting out of a paper bag.
|
|
Hopping off the motorcycle, he briefly scanned his
surroundings. The house stood unassumingly with trees darting before
him.
Christian: [Thinking] Nice quiet place. Please, God, don't
let this be a mistake.
|
|
Christian looked in his bag, absently checking for
the fifth time the small jacket in there, before pulling off his
sunglasses. He walked up towards to front door.
Christian: [Thinking] Maybe I should turn back?
No! I can do this!
Squaring his shoulders, Christian took a deep, calming breath.
|
|
Gently knocking on the door he rapped before
shifting his weight from foot to foot. He noticed the eye-hole and suppressed
a wince. He pictured himself looking like a warped Cyclops
Christian: [Thinking] Too late to turn back now... like I would
anyhow.
Nervously, he put his sunglasses back on.
|
|
There is a knocking upon the door.
Kaede: ...I can't do this...
|
|
After a pause following that rapping, Kaede slipped
outside, obviously nervous as she fought the butterflies in her stomach.
Kaede: Uh, hi. Um...I'm Kaede...
|
|
Slowly Kaede looked up, all...the...way. She
blinked once, before she stared at the young man before her
.
Kaede: ::Giggles soft and sweet:: Gosh you're tall.
|
|
Christian: Yeah, I suppose I am. I've been told
it's sort of handy when you need things off of high shelves...nice to
meet you, Kaede. I'm your date, the obvious Christian.
|
|
Stepping away from the door, Kaede gently closed
and locked it with a soft click. She then took a good long look again at
her date.
Kaede: You know, it's pretty dark out now... you can take those
sunglasses off if you want.
|
|
Christian admired Kaede in his quiet silence and
let her words hang in the air for a few seconds. He blinked, then
blushed.
Christian: Oh, yeah, you're right! Sorry. It was just getting
dark as I drove up and I'm just used to having glasses on. Sorry.
|
|
Kaede couldn't seem to take her eyes off Christian,
but a neighbors dog barked in the distance which quickly dragged her
back to reality and she blushed as she pointed the way back to the
motorcycle.
Kaede: ..oh! I was thinking, could we go see X-Men? I know it's
terribly...well...geeky...but I LOVE the comics and I've watched the
other two movies on DVD about a billion times. I just HAD to buy them,
reserved them and everything months before the street date...
er...*rambling nervously* Uh, you wouldn't mind would you?
Christian: X-men! That would be so...uhm, yeah,
that would be great. Y-you're into comic books? That's really cool. I'm
into them too. *trying to be calm* Uhm, we should get going to the movie
then. For the ride I have an extra jacket and helmet for you to wear. It
will protect your lovely dress and all. I hope you don't mind the bike.
|
|
The two walked back to Christian's bike, and Kaede
bravely reached up to guide Christian at the small of his back.
Kaede: You do look really nice. Thank you for asking me out,
Christian.
Christian: ::Blush:: Well, thank you for going out with me,
Kaede. You look positively stunning. It's an honor and privilege to take
you out.
Kaede: ::Blushes in turn:: Thank you.
