"You don't owe me anything. It was petty."
She said.
"I don't really know... I like steak. No offense, of course."
She added on to the end of her sentence, realizing what she had said.

"You are fine as long as it's not veal. Even then I can't really be mad if you like it, just would feel weird to me..." [b][i]He looks at the book as he smiles walking forward and buying it. Her hand still in his as he looks at her.[/i][/b] "So steak it is...sound good to you?"
-
"For sure." She replied, guiding him gently to the check out counter. "I'll buy. Speaking of which, is there a hotel around here I can check out?" She asked, taking the cookbook from him and paying for it.
-
"You can stay at my place...there is a hotel but it would be free if you stayed with me." [b][i]He blushes a deep red as he thinks to himself shaking his head. Looking back at her curious to her answer.[/i][/b]
-
"Sure. Thanks for the offer." She smiled again, handing him the book. She motioned towards the door, her hand clasping his.
-
[b][i]He nods as he walks her out and begins walking her to his home. A big apartment building as he begins walking up the stairs happily. Going towards room 10 and opening the door. A living room with a tv showing and a kitchen farther in the back.[/i][/b] "Well welcome make yourself at home."
-
Her eyes widened slightly. "How rich ARE you?" She asked, her mouth open slightly in amazement as she collapsed onto the couch, looking for the remote. "Don't mind if I do."
-
[b][i]He laughed as he grabbed it off a counter tossing it to her. Moving towards the kitchen, opening the fridge as he pulls out steak and pulls out a pan cooking it.[/i][/b] "How do you like your steak?"
-
"You don't even have to cook it for all I care." She joked, finding the remote and turning on the tv. "Just kidding. The rarer, the better."
-
"The rarer the better huh? Well you are the rarest lady around so it makes sense." [b][i]He continues cooking as he looks back with a smile before cooking more. Looking occasionally to see how she was doing.[/i][/b]
-
"Of course. Not every day you stumble upon a genetically modified human." She replied matter of factly.
-
[b][i]He rolls his eyes as he continues cooking. Chuckling to himself as he takes the steaks off onto a plate.[/i][/b] "I meant you are special and rare, not your look you goof." [b][i]He says as he gets her a fork and knife placing it on the living room table in front of her.[/i][/b]
-
"Oh." She didn't seem to quite know how to respond. "You are too."
-
"Yep....although normally people flirt back when they respond." [b][i]He says with a wave of his hand sitting down as he looks at her motioning to the steak with a smile.[/i][/b] "I really do hope you enjoy it."
-
She took the knife and fork, slicing it cleanly into cube bits before eating it cajolingly. "It's pretty good." She remarked, almost with surprise. She paused for a second, looking down. "I don't know how to flirt."
-
"You don't have too know how to flirt...look the big question is if you did know how to flirt would you even want too with someone like me?" [b][i]He says as he looks down a little sad by the idea. Looking back to the tv as he watches it interested.[/i][/b]
-
She finished eating, hesitating slightly before scooting closer. "I just don't like to socialize. You're not the only one."
-
[b][i]He looks back at her as he scoots closer as well. His body against hers now as he looks at her blushing.[/i][/b] "If.....you want you can always talk to me."
-
"I would like that." She continued watching the tv, appearing calm but on the inside extremely nervous. She hadn't felt nervousness in years alone, and the feelings were new to her.
-
"I would like that too." [b][i]He says as he loves close tilting his head as if to kiss her. Getting close as he blushes and moves his head back as if he messed up.[/i][/b] "I uh sorry..."
-
"It's fine..." She murmured, laying her head on his shoulder carefully. She gulped uncertainly.
-
[b][i]He heard her gulp as he frowned. Wrapping an arm around her as he taps his foot looking down.[/i][/b] "Hey I'm not being to flirty or anything am I....?"
-
"W-What? Not at all!" She laughed nervously, an unfamiliar sound as she started coughing.
-
[b][i]He saw how she was reacting as he rubs her side caring. Looking at the tv as he does so.[/i][/b] "Hey you don't have to lie it's okay....I can tell you nervous and all..."
-
"No, it's not that... it's just, I haven't laughed in years." She seemed amazed at herself, and looked at him with wonder.
-
"Oh is that so? Well glad I could assist you in that." [b][i]He says as he tickles her winking before turning back to the tv. He seemed a lot more calm than anyone they had spoken before.[/i][/b]
