"A douche. That is a good word to describe him." She hesitantly met his eyes, and her quip was an attempt to ease the tension.

He smiled slightly, rubbing his chin with his other hand, "Your hair's a little messed up."
"Oh, is it?" She pulled a small contact mirror from her purse, using it to attempt to fix her hair. "You keep rubbing your chin. Why is that?"
"Do I?" he tilted his head, "I never knew."
"Yes, like this-" She looked over at him and mimicked the gesture. "-I find it quite curious."
He shrugged. "I have no clue. I could just be feeling my facial hair."
She put away the compact and reached out, running a finger along his jaw. "I can see the appeal."
For the first time he actually blushed, the light pink pigment poking through the 5 o'clock shadow.
She placed her palm on his cheek, studying him for a moment before letting her hand drop, a bit hesitantly. "You are pink." She pointed out unnecessarily, slightly teasing.
He smiled, his eyes squinting slightly as the color deepened. "Yeah, yeah, I know." He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Since we couldn't get dinner here…would you want to come over to my place for a little bit?"
((These two melt my heart
((they're so cute! sadly, i'll be going to bed soon, so if i disappear, that's why
"I would love that." She said softly, squeezing his hand.
He let go of her hand and held his arms out in an awkward request for a hug.
((It's fine, everybody need some sleep
((lmao it's like midnight and the only reason i'm going to bed is because i have to
She wrapped her arms around him, slipping out of her shoes in a last minute decision, so that the hug wouldn't be too awkward.
He chuckled lightly. "You look different down here."
He smelled surprising pleasant, despite the fact that he had gotten off of work only 2 or 3 hours ago. He smiled sheepishly when the pulled away, putting his hands into his pockets and looking down at his feet.
((sorry! was catching up on sleep
"Do I really look different without the shoes?" She asked, amusement evident in her tone.
"Not really different, per say. It'll just a different angle than I'm used to."
((I just realized that with her heels, she's 6'5, which is taller than most full grown men
"Interesting. I do…have a question, pertaining to this situation. Does my height bother you at all?"
He tilted his head. "Not at all. Why would it?"
"It bothers a lot of men. Women not so much, but men don't tend to like being the shorter person."
He shrugged. "Ah, yes, tiny man syndrome. I don't really care about that type of stuff. Does it bother you?"
She pulled a face. "Have I not yet made it obvious that it does not?"
"Just a courtesy, I guess." He furrowed his eyebrows. "I don't remember being this awkward in a long time."
"My brother used to tell me not to trust any man who is smooth talking straight from the beginning, because anyone worth your time will feel the..butterflies, I believe you call them." Her jaw clenched at the mention of her brother, but it was gone so quick that it almost didn't seem to have actually happened.
