Blythe set down her silverware and unwrapped it, placing her napkin on her lap and arranging her cutlery as the waiter came with their food. She thanked him and then took some bites out of her's. Blythe had never been one for Alfredo but the dish was alright. She looked up when Xander questioned her. "Yes. I'll take it your's is?" she said, looking at his plate. It already had a dent in it.
Xander was eating his food with vigor. He was amazed that food could ever taste as good as that dish was tasting. He almost didn't hear Blythe's answer back. He swallowed before answering her. "Yeah, this is some good stuff. I can't stop eating eat!" He looked down at his plate of food sheepishly. It was already almost half gone. "Obviously," he added.
Blythe laughed softly behind her napkin, her eyes lighting up like before. She couldn't help but think that expression made him look much sweeter than the band boy cover. Blythe lowered her napkin and took a few more bites out of her dish. She ate a piece of the chicken and then washed it down with a drink of water.
Xander grinned at Blythe when she laughed. Her laugh was like music to his ears, and he thought it was the most beautiful sound in the world. He wanted to be the one to make her laugh like that every single day. He smiled for a moment more and then finished eating his dinner. He was the first one done, which was not very surprising. Xander drained his glass, then set it back down on the table.
Blythe smiled back at him then started to eat her food again. She didn't eat a whole lot and never really had. When she was finished, Blythe pushed away her plate and wiped her mouth the cloth napkin. Anna and Alex were still talking, only taking bites when the other was speaking. Blythe sighed softly and tucked some wayward hair behind her ears then fiddled with the middle diamond earrings in her ears.
Xander looked over to Anne and Alex, who were talking to each other between bites. He sighed softly, feeling a bit awkward since this was kind of a double date and he and Blythe weren't dating. At least, not yet, he told himself, then inwardly smiled. He planned on asking Blythe out very soon. He really wanted to get to know her. He ran his hands through his hair, waiting for Anne and Alex to finish. He looked over, and by their eyes could definitely tell that they were in love. He sighed again.
Blythe looked over at Xander and could tell he was a little odd. So was she. Deciding to do something rather than sit, Blythe looked around and saw little garden paths that lead throughout the garden. "Would you like to take a walk?" she asked Xander softly, looking at him with her emerald green eyes. Blythe chewed nervously on her lip and waited for him to answer.
Xander was just about to say something to Blythe when she asked if he wanted to walk with her. This was an awesome opportunity with her that he could not miss. "Sure, that would be great," he answered with a smile, sounding as sincere as he could. He stood up, waiting for Blythe too also.
Blythe smiled and put her napkin on the table. She stood and looked over at Anne and Alex. "If you're paying any attention," Blythe started amusedly. "We're going to take a walk." she said and laughed softly when Anne dismissed her with a wave. Blythe turned to Xander. "Let's go." she said then started towards the nearest path.
"'Bye," Alex said, though a little distractedly. He was happy to be alone with Anne, just the two of them at least for a while. Xander waved and nodded to Blythe as they began to walk on the trail nearest to them. The air was so fresh that Xander kept breathing really deeply, wanting to get in as much as he could. Only the crunch of their footsteps on the dirt was heard as Blythe and Xander walked in silence for a few moments. He tried to think of what to say; he had really never been the talkative one unless it was around his really good friends.
Blythe walked with Xander in the silence for a moment or two as she curled a lock of blonde hair around her finger then watched it unravel itself. Blythe looked over at him and folded her hands in front of him then smiled. "What's your favorite color?" she asked randomly, trying to find a conversation spark. It wasn't really one but she was sure it would lead somewhere.
Xander looked at Blythe as she was twirling her hair, smiling. Just the little things she did made him fall for her more and more. He quickly looked away as she turned to him. He chuckled under his breath and Blythe asked him the question. "Um....I think it's probably a deep maroon color," he answered. "You?"He almost laughed again, thinking their small talk was funny.
Blythe stared ahead as she thought. "My favourite colour is a mint blue." she answered, a smile curving her lips. She looked down at her folded hands and studied the French Tip manicure on her fingers. Anne had bought her one the other day and she loved it.
((I'm sorry they're short. I'm having a hard time making coherent sentences.))
((That's fine...it is pretty hard lol))"That's a nice color," Xander commented, nodding his head slowly. He reached a hand out absent-mindedly to brush a leaf that was within arm's reach. He noticed she looked down at her nails, which to him looked pretty but he never understood the fascination with which girls wanted to paint their nails. What use were they for?
"So, do you have any siblings?" Xander asked, trying to continue a conversation.
Blythe nodded, turning her green eyes on him. "Yeah. Two. They're twin boy and girl. Sweetest things on earth." she said, her smile growing then falling briefly. Her siblings were 11 now and she hadn't seen them in a year. Blythe's mother had died giving birth to them and when her father had remarried a few weeks before her 18 birthday, Blythe didn't half to play mommy anymore. After that, she moved out but hadn't had a chance to visit them lately.
Xander was again amazed how green Blythe's eyes were. It was like he was looking into a mini forest when she looked at him. It was then that he noticed her smile faded as she finished telling him about her younger siblings. "What's wrong?" he asked, his eyes sympathetic. He wondered why she had suddenly become sad. He himself didn't have siblings, so he didn't understand that much.((Sorry it's short...))
((Sorry. I lost it. I'll post in the morning. It's late where I am.))
((Okay that's fine (: ))
Blythe didn't register him speaking for a moment then looked up before looking away again, her face turning red. "Oh. I just haven't seen my brother and sister in a year or so. I've been so busy with school and working." she said, slipping her fingers through her own and twisting them. "Though that really isn't much of an excuse." Blythe blubbered then shut her mouth, looking up at the sky momentarily.
Xander smiled softly, a little sympathetically. "I hope you can get a chance to see them soon," he said, trying to lighten her up a bit. He noticed she was twisting her fingers; he figured that it was probably a nervous habit or something. He thought for a moment, then said in answer to Blythe's last comment, "I know that life can get in the way of family, from personal experience. Though instead of school I guess I have my band career. I barely have any time to see my family, what with tours and practice and such."
((Lol I keep forgetting u changed ur name))
((Sorry.)) Blythe looked over at him with a curious expression. "Who all is in your family?" she asked him, biting her lip. She stopped walking after a while and sat on a park bench facing a little pond and fountain. Blythe looked over the scenery, loving the flowers and the sound of the water spilling over the fountain edge.
((It's okay))Xander sat by Blythe, leaning back slightly on the bench. "Well, I have my two parents and a younger sister who is a senior," he answered. He picked at his jeans, a slight frown on his face. "I won't be able to go to her graduation because I'll be on tour." He looked to the side, and by his posture you could see that he was really down about not being able to attend the ceremony.
Blythe glanced over at him, seeing that it troubled to be unable to watch his little sister graduate. She clasped her hands in her lap and drug her teeth across her lip. "I'm sorry. I'm sure she understands." she said assuringly. She brushed hair behind her ear and looked at the scenery around them. Blythe wondered if Alex and Anne were ready to go yet.
Xander nodded, and his lips turned up in a small smile. He looked at Blythe, amazed at how beautiful she was and equally amazed that he was starting to develop feelings for her. No girl had ever affected him like the way she did. He was so intent on thinking about her that he nearly forgot where he was. "I think we should start to head back," Xander said, not wanting to leave this place, with Blythe, but also wanting to make sure Alex and Anne didn't leave without them.
Blythe turned her attention back to him. She was, admittedly, a little sad he wanted to leave but she always tried to prefer others. "That's probably a good idea." she agreed, smoothing out the skirt of her dress as she got ready to stand. Blythe was falling for this man more and faster than she would admit but she knew it. Blythe couldn't help but think that maybe it had become and double date. Although, Blythe was certain someone of his status would never fall in love with her.
Xander shot her a quick smile before standing up. As they began walking he kept darting his eyes over to Blythe. There was a little battle in his mind whether he should make a move or not. Finally, gaining the courage, he reached out and grabbed her hand with his, hoping she would be okay with it.
Blythe stood, brushing hair back from her eyes. As she began walking with him in silence, Blythe did not expect him to take her. But she didn't let go. Surprise and happiness rushed through her. She glanced up at him as they went back, wondering if this was just a behind the scenes act. Xander could just drop her hand as soon as they got back to Alex and Anna.
The waiter brought their food in and Xander took a bite. The dish was a lot better than he had thought it was going to be, and he took a few more bites. "Is yours good?" he asked Blythe.
