A Date As Promised
Alex had made a promise to Mel that once she was done with physical therapy he would take her out and now that the time was upon them, he would keep that promise. He left a note in her chambers to be ready to go out tonight. With Jordan's help he made reservations at a nearby restaurant and he purchased movie tickets ahead of time.

When it was close to the appointed time, Alex showered, shaved and put on his nicest clothes. He went to Mel's room and knocked on the door.

	"I hope not either, but something usually happens when someone says it's quiet." He grinned. "If something does happen, I'm telling everyone it's your fault," he teased. He squeezed her hand. "I know it's your favorite, which is why I picked it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh no!" Mel giggled. "I can't help it. I'm half Swiss." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alex laughed. "Something like that. though I didn't know gerbils were the omens of bad luck." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, they'd make a good omen of bad luck. Once they get out, they're really hard to catch again unless you haunt the whole house..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Which means I can't hide from you no matter how small I become," he said as the taxi pulled up in front of the restaurant. "Don't move." He got out of the cab and hurried around to the other side to open her door for her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	purplegeist 2011-04-16 05:51 pm UTC (link)

	She takes it and goes in with him. "Aw, you never could, Alex." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2011-04-18 12:22 am UTC (link)
	"Don't count on that," he said. "Not that I plan to make you mad at me." He smiled. The hostess led them to the table and Alex pulled out a chair for Mel. "Milady." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	purplegeist 2011-04-18 12:34 am UTC (link)
	And Mel happily took the seat, turning a little burgundy. "Thank you, Sir." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2011-04-18 12:40 am UTC (link)
	"You're welcome," he said with a goofy grin and sat down. He placed his napkin on his lap. "I would like to tell you something. I was going to save it as a surprise, but I've been working on getting my GED." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	purplegeist 2011-04-18 12:41 am UTC (link)
	Mel blinked. "Oh, that's terrific, Alex!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She squeezed his hand. "I'm glad it's something wonderful and not something to worry about!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2011-04-18 12:50 am UTC (link)
	Alex blushed more. "Can I get your help if I need it?" he asked. "Jordan offered to help, but he's not always around." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	purplegeist 2011-04-18 01:15 am UTC (link)
	"Of course! I'm not as good at science stuff as Jordan, but I'm good at math and grammar." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Any help would be appreciated. I didn't make it past sixth grade." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I stopped going to school in grade six, too, but I got to be homeschooled." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alex nodded. "That's good. I was on my own and then lived in the wilderness." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
