"Not really." I said with a small smile. "You shouldn't feel bad about one year.. I haven't been on a date in ten years." I said with a small laugh, even though I was technically married for those 10 years, so it doesn't really apply.
I laughed faintly, "Hey, at least you got twelve galleons out of it." I said smiling, glancing to see the waiter approach us.

"Been nearly eight months." I said with a faint nod to her. "But she wasn't around much for a couple months before though.." I added, right before the waiter came over and asked if we were ready to order. After she ordered she winked at me and I grinned faintly, chuckling a little bit. "Um.." I glanced at the menu. "I think I'll just have the same, actually."

".. Is that okay?" I asked, when she just bit her lip and nodded and just didn't say anything about it.
The waiter walked away and I looked back over to Charlotte. "I am nothing of the sort." I said shaking my head a little bit with a small grin.

"Yeah it's fine. I just feel awful for bringing it up is all." I say with a small shrug to him with a frown.
"Obviously you are if you ordered the same thing as I just did. Copy cat." I grin at Riley before laughing a bit.

"You don't have to feel awful for it." I said shaking my head faintly toward her. "Just, don't worry about. You can ask me anything." I added with a faint smile.
I laughed a little bit and just shook my head again. "That," I paused for a moment. "That proves nothing." I said with a small grin.

I smiled and nodded a little bit, just to say that, yes, I was sure.
I laughed a little bit more and shook my head. "Fine, you win Charlotte. And you know what, I think it is." I added with a small nod. ".. And same." I said smiling a bit.

I giggle a little before actually looking up at him again. "Yes! About time I won something. Do I get a prize?" I ask jokingly before smiling at my name part. It felt nice to hear him say my name for some reason.

I laughed a little bit, grinning a bit toward her. I looked around a bit and picked up my spoon, looking at it a moment before looking up to her. "I hereby award you with this silver spoon." I said with a serious nod as I handed it over to her. "For your... skills at winning?" I asked with a small laugh.

"Yes! I thank you for copying me in my food choices for this evening otherwise I wouldn't have this wonderful award." I say in a serious tone before smiling at him.

"You're very welcome. You definitely deserved it." I said nodding with an impressed look on my face, laughing a little bit.

I laugh a little before moving a bit forward and putting a hand on top of his. "Well thank you. It is hard work to make people want things that you decide upon."

I smiled, feeling slightly nervous about this when she moved slightly forward and put her hand over my mine. I wasn't sure if it was because I wasn't used to this or if it was something else? But nevertheless, I moved faintly closer too, moving my thumb slightly over the side of her hand.
"You're welcome.. and I can definitely see how that would be difficult." I said with a small laugh, smiling a bit more as I did.

"You okay?" I ask softly before biting my lip as I noticed his thumb was tracing over my hand causing me to smile.
I nod faintly before glancing back down to our hands. "Would it be too much to ask for a kiss?" I ask softly as my eyes lingered up slowly to his face.

I nodded, "Yeah, I'm fine." I said shaking my head faintly a moment or two after I nodded, just deciding to shake off the feeling. At least for now.
I looked back at her when she asked her question and bit my lip faintly, shaking my head for a little bit. "I don't think it would be." I said softly back to her.

I nod back at him before smiling a little. Leaning forward a bit I close my eyes but just then the waiter came back with our food and set it down between us. I pull back instantly, feeling the familiar pink blush filling into my cheeks rapidly. Looking at the waiter he smirks before walking away. "Enjoy the food."

I smiled a little back and went to move in a little bit too and then, the waiter decides that this is the perfect time to give us our food. She pulled away fairly instantly and I pulled after a couple short seconds after she did. I thanked the waiter when he set down the food and looking over to him saw him smirk slightly.
".. So um.. You know a lot about me, so what's something else about you?" I asked a moment later deciding that maybe the kiss should wait a bit longer anyway.
I didn't know about her but I thought it felt slightly awkward now that the waiter interrupted.

I look up at the waiter and roll my eyes a little before glancing back to Riley. "Well. I'm twenty five, Was born in New Jersey, I'm the middle of my two sisters. Muggleborn... maybe you should ask me some questions." I say with a laugh unsure what he exactly wanted to know as I stir my salad around a bit.

I laughed a little bit and nodded. "Okay," I said with a light smile, "Um.. Why'd you move here from America?" I asked a moment later, moving a few pieces of my salad around too, stabbing a couple pieces with my fork before eating them and waiting for her to answer.

"My parents used to work in Manhattan and got sick of the fast pace of the big city. So they got a job offering here in London that wasn't as competitive to design advertisements, mostly wedding products. I think that's why I love the commitments column so much." I say with a smile. "We moved when I was a little past twelve." I say before taking a bite of my salad.

"Wow... that's a really big move though.." I said shaking my head faintly, "I don't think I'd pick up and moved my whole family." I added, moving around a couple pieces of my lettuce with my fork before looking back up to her.
"Bet that kind of sucked for you though.. having to move out of country.." I shook my head a little. "I would've hated that."

I shrug lightly before swallowing my bite of lettuce. "Well I was so shy and quiet I really only had a couple of friends. I was different and was made to go to a private school. Wasn't too fond of to say the least..." I say with a faint frown on my lips. "Now my sisters were the ones disappointed especially Ashley."

"... You were different?" I asked a moment later, wondering if she would just clarify that for me, not quite sure what she meant by it.. unless she meant being a witch? "Why didn't you like the private school?" I added a moment later, hoping she didn't mind the questions.
"Disappointed that you had to move you mean?" I asked again, feeling strange for not really commenting and just asking mroe questions in return.

"Magic. I'm the first one that my family has ever known that has had magic." I say with a nod before smiling a little. "Not really. The girls were extremely preppy and had to have expensive shoes and jewelry. Got picked on a lot. And yes, they were disappointed to move. I wasn't. I thought of it as a new adventure."

I smiled and nodded faintly. "That's what I thought.." I commented first after she said it was because of the magic. That would make sense. "That's good then." I added with a small smile. ".. Well, not about your sisters, but the new adventure part."
".. Can't imagine why anyone would pick on you." I said a moment or two later, shaking my head faintly.

I nod a little again before understanding what he meant. "I don't know. I did have glasses and crooked teeth so..." I say with a faint laugh before eating some of the spaghetti.

Post by Riley Pearson on Jan 22, 2009 5:05:14 GMT
I laughed a little, "I had glasses, you know. Still do." I said with a small nod and smile. "And to top it off I've got this nice space between my two front teeth too." I added, before shrugging softly.
"I think it's endearing." I said with a small smile.

"Well I personally think glasses are cute." I say with a smile, "And I didn't notice your space until now honestly." I say before smiling a little bigger. After a few more bites of food I bit my lip a bit. "So how's the date going so far in your opinion?"
