Jet followed Meli to the table a bit closer than normal on instinct because he was slightly nervous being in a formal environment.

As Meli and Jett sat down a waiter near immediately came towards them with a notepad, it was the same young man who had taken Jett and Sierra's order a while ago "Hello, Ms. Amant, hello... Really tall guy who put our best customer in the hospital... I've forgotten your name, but your face is very memorable..." he said in confusion "His name's Jett, Gareth." "Right... Sorry..." he said apologetically before taking out a pen "So... What shall it be?..." "A fruit salad and your least alcoholic wine, please!" Meli said happily "Of course, what about you, Sir?" Gareth asked as he wrote down "Meli's usual" onto his notepad...

"Umm a steak and water I guess" he said a bit awkward due to the nervousness from being in a formal environment. "God I hope I didn't mess that up"

by **Empoleon_Blownaparte** Fri Oct 31, 2014 11:54 pm

Gareth wrote down the order with a sincere smile "Okay, so that's one regular order for Meli and a steak and water for her date?" "Yes, and it's not a date..." Meli quickly corrected "Oh, apologies, from the way you've talked about him, I would have thought otherwise..." he said with a smug smile that said "Yeah, you try too hard, go with the direct approach, you're welcome" Meli blushed deeply "That's not funny, I never talked about him like that, we're just friends..." Gareth just stared at Jett for a second with the same grin, then walked away "Of course you are!" he said sarcastically as he left. Meli pouted "Uhh... So.... Gareth's such a kidder, isn't he?..." she said awkwardly...

"Ahh yeah I guess so... but I can see why people might make that mistake though.." he trailed off a bit suddenly. he took a quick glance at Meli "Dating her huh..." Jett felt his stomach tighten slightly at the thought "nah no way"

by **Empoleon_Blownaparte** Sat Nov 01, 2014 12:16 am

Meli smiled awkwardly as she thought things through "Maybe... Maybe I should go with the direct approach?... I mean... Mora's only girlfriend ever was a 15 year old girl who happened to have a mental disorder and be his biggest fan... Not the best credentials for dating advice... And I always say to take the direct approach... As a last resort, but I feel I'm all out of options now!... Damnit, Gareth..." she thought before opening her mouth to speak "Yeah... Although... It wouldn't be too strange an idea... Us dating?... It could happen..."

Jett locked eyes with Meli for a second alarmed by her statement probably more than he should have been. "err" he looked down "I guess... ugh I dont know" he said blushing profusely

by **Empoleon_Blownaparte** Sat Nov 01, 2014 12:45 am

Meli blushed deeply as well, very deep, she took a deep breath "You know what? I'm just going to come out and say this: I love you!..." she said quickly, yet with a drive in her voice that broke through the awkwardness, she closed her eyes tightly as she waited for Jett to answer...

by **MrBrough** Sat Nov 01, 2014 1:01 am

Jett froze he felt all his functions cognitive and bodily shut down as he went near catatonic the color draining out of his naturally pale face. he simply went wide eyed and blinked not able to talk or think from the shock of her confession.

by **Empoleon_Blownaparte** Sat Nov 01, 2014 1:12 am

Meli waited another few seconds before speaking up, eyes still closed "Just tell me yes or no, Jett..." she said before opening her eyes to see Jett frozen, she gasped "Oh my gosh, are you okay!?" she asked in a sorrow-filled panic...

by **MrBrough** Sat Nov 01, 2014 1:18 am

"uhh ye-yeah I'm fine just... shocked" he said not knowing quite how to feel with the confusing jumble of thoughts and emotions such as panic concern and perhaps... Joy?

by **Empoleon_Blownaparte** Sat Nov 01, 2014 1:20 am

Meli sighed in relief before realizing she didn't get an answer yet "So.... Just say yes or no... It's perfectly fine if you say no... " she said sadly and awkwardly...

by **MrBrough** Sat Nov 01, 2014 1:28 am

Jett took a minute to collect his thought and looked her straight in the eyes and turned serious "I would like too but you need to understand something... it probably wont end well"

by **Empoleon_Blownaparte** Sat Nov 01, 2014 1:29 am

Meli gave him a sincere, sad look "i don't care how it will end... I just want it to happen..." she said hopefully...

by **MrBrough** Sat Nov 01, 2014 1:34 am

"Then I guess we're a couple now" he said awkwardly a blush turning his pale face crimson

by **Empoleon_Blownaparte** Sat Nov 01, 2014 1:40 am

Meli's sincere look turned into a smile slowly "I-It was that easy?" she asked happily, not really caring for an answer...

by **MrBrough** Sat Nov 01, 2014 1:44 am

"Ye-yeah I guess" not really sure how to act right then

by **Empoleon_Blownaparte** Sat Nov 01, 2014 6:52 pm

Meli's grin grew quickly, clearly she was excited about this "Ohmigosh, you would not believe how happy this makes me!" she said happily, clearly getting... Over-excited...

by **MrBrough** Sat Nov 01, 2014 7:06 pm

"Well that's good" he said fidgeting slightly as he did so. "so uhh.. what now?" he asked earnestly confused as to what to do next.

by **Empoleon_Blownaparte** Sat Nov 01, 2014 7:58 pm

Meli happily opened her mouth to speak, but couldn't find any words "Uhh... Come to think of it... I don't know much about being IN a relationship.... The only other person I was ever in love with... Well... I don't really like talking about her..." she said sadly with a bittersweet smile "I know the basics from watching alot of people I help... But ironically I don't know much else..."

by **MrBrough** Sat Nov 01, 2014 8:05 pm

"yeah I don't know what to do either both of my previous relationships where both highly irregular and ended tragically" he said rubbing the back of his head clearly concerned.

by **Empoleon_Blownaparte** Sat Nov 01, 2014 8:08 pm

Meli continued her hollow smile for another minute until she spoke up again "Shouldn't they have brought us our drinks by now? I can understand the food taking a while, but usually when I come here the drinks are served really quickly..." she asked, confused...

by **MrBrough** Sat Nov 01, 2014 8:17 pm

"I suppose they are taking a good while aren't they" Jett said trying to keep the conversation going hoping to alleviate the awkward atmosphere to no avail.

by **Empoleon_Blownaparte** Sat Nov 01, 2014 8:22 pm

At that moment Gareth came walking back with two trays, one with Meli's salad and wine and the other with a steak and glass of water, he wordlessly came up to the table and placed the orders in front of the duo "So... Did the direct approach work?" he asked smugly, knowing the answer already, Meli pouted "...Yes..." "Stop asking your brother for dating advice..." he said simply before walking away. Meli took a fork from the table and started to jab at her salad to pick up a few leaves "Good timing, am I right?" she said jokingly before putting some of her food in her mouth and starting to eat...

by **MrBrough** Sat Nov 01, 2014 8:31 pm

"Yeah it really was..." Jett said as he began to eat as well unsure how to act in this new and unprecedented situation.
