"Mhm. She has some amazing stories to tell, too." He replied, driving into a parking lot and parking the car. "I can take you there or you can visit her alone. Up to you." He smiled.

“I wouldn’t mind either way. I like having you around though. Maybe we can go together?” She asked wearily, looking up at him.

He smiled. "Sure." He got out of the car and opened the door for her, helping her out. "We're at the restaurant, by the way."

“Oh we are?” She asked gently, looking up at the buildings around and smiling. “What a nice side of town.”

He smiled. "Yeah. Come on, the restaurant is over here." He took her hand, leading her over towards the restaurant.

She smiled and gave his hand a gentle squeeze. She felt so happy when she was around him. “Oh! Alright!”

He smiled slightly as he led her to the restaurant. "Come on." He replied, leading her inside.

She giggled and hurried in after him, looking around the restaurant with a smile.

He smiled, and got them a table and menus. "Order whatever you want." He said with a grin. "You wanted soup, this is a soup place."

She grinned back up at him before she disappeared behind the menu, looking for something good. "Oh! They have so many!"

He grinned, chuckling. "Yeah, they do." He opened his own menu, looking through it to figure out what he wanted.

She had decided not long after reading through all of the soups, her heart set on the baked potato soup. She loved that kind of thing.

He finished picking his out, setting the menu down. "Did you decide?" he asked, arching an eyebrow at her. "Or shall we wait a few more minutes?"

“I’ve decided.” She piped happily, smiling as she tilted her head. “I’m so happy we can do this. It’s a lot of fun.”

He smiled. "Alright." He replied. "Yeah, me too." He sighed softly, running a hand through his hair. The waiter came over, and Asher gave the waiter his order.

(Sorry for the wait, I had a lot to do today ^^')

Arabella gently gave her order, looking a little shy as the waiter came by. She perked back up when it was only the two of them again.

(it's totally fine, don't worry about it :) )

Asher watched her for a moment, then looked away, resting his chin on his hand, fingers tapping against his chin.

(Ahhh sorry again! More work! But I opened up the rest of the week so phew)

She had noticed his eyes upon her and shifted slightly. "What was that look for, may I ask?" She asked softly, kindly. "Am I being strange?"

(It's totally fine, don't worry about it! :) I don't mind )

Asher blinked. "Oh. Nothing. No, you aren't." He replied with a small smile, running his hand through his hair and pulling his hand away from his chin.

(Thank you, my school work is a little rough at the moment. My teachers are pretty laid back but also strict when it comes to big assignments.)

She lifted a hand to her face. "Is there something on my face?" She asked suddenly, her eyes widening. A soft giggle left her mouth, revealing her words to be teasing.

(np. Ooh yeah that sucks. I'm homeschooled lol so….fun times XD)

He chuckled softly. "Nope. Nothing on your face." He replied, scratching his chin and making a strange face at the sound the stubble made. "Yuck. i gotta shave this." He grumbled.

(Ooof. How is that?)

She laughed softly and reached over to run her fingers across the stubble. "It's not bad. Just a little spiky." She said with a laugh, smiling brightly at him.

(ehh it's fine. I take classes at a co-op, so I'm not totally cut off XD)

He laughed softly. "I hate it." He replied matter of factly. "I'm shaving it off when we get home." He grinned at her.

(Oh good! Homeschoolers need some sort of co-op XD)

She laughed softly. "Alright. I wouldn't mind that." She said with a soft smile.

(yeah lol)

"Well good, since I was going to do it whether or not you did." He replied with a teasing smile.
