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.

	"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)

	And Mel happily took the seat, turning a little burgundy. "Thank you, Sir." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"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)

	Mel blinked. "Oh, that's terrific, Alex!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alex blushed. "Jordan helped me and I've been studying like crazy. That's where I go when I disappear for hours on end." (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)

	"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)

	purplegeist 2011-04-18 02:18 am UTC (link)
	She squeezed his hand. "I'm sorry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2011-04-18 02:20 am UTC (link)
	"Thank you," he said and returned the squeeze. "The important thing is now I have you and Alpha Flight." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	purplegeist 2011-04-18 02:21 am UTC (link)
	Mel nods earnestly. "And we love you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2011-04-18 02:28 am UTC (link)
	Alex turned a few shades of red. "And I you and the team." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mel's burgundy herself now. Suddenly... "You know what's great about fondue? So much variety in options for something that's still so simple." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2011-04-18 05:47 pm UTC (link)
	"It is kind of neat. I never had it until I met you," he admitted. "I didn't get out much," he joked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	purplegeist 2011-04-18 06:08 pm UTC (link)
	She smiles. "Dad says there's not nearly as much of it in Canada as in Switzerland, anyway." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2011-04-18 06:16 pm UTC (link)
	"Would you like to go?" he asked in all seriousness. He would take her anywhere she wanted to go if she said the word. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	purplegeist 2011-04-18 06:22 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh, that's so sweet. But I'm kind of scared of my dad's hometown. Things got so bad for him there, and... I'm a lot more obvious." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tooth_n_claw 2011-04-18 06:47 pm UTC (link)
	"We don't have to go /there/, but we can go anywhere in Switzerland you want." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	purplegeist 2011-04-20 03:39 am UTC (link)
	"That's sweet, and maybe eventually, but for now, between your offers and all of Jordan's gifts, I've had enough travel for a while." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
