The world is dark, let me be your light(Gabriel)

[Gabriel Seran]

The edges of his lips curled up into a faint grin. It was a classic statement, blunt and strange something he found fairly funny though Olivia pulled it off like a child.

"Well that was incredibly useful knowledge," Gabriel joked at, "speaking about roots? hows about I take you out to dinner, strictly veggie for you I'd guess." He would continue with a charming smile hoping she'd accept.

He didn't know what it was, her strangeness or rather her absence to conformity that made him interested in her but strangely enough he would choose her simply over any other woman he'd run into here at this school or at any of his former ones.

[Olivia Green]

"Well that was incredibly useful knowledge," she smiled along with him.

"speaking about roots? hows about I take you out to dinner, strictly veggie for you I'd guess." At least he believed her, though she did feel bad for lying about the root. There was a trace of hope in his smile as she stared at him with a strictly serious face. Livi believed that Gabriel was her friend. Did guys ask girl's to go for dinner when they wanted a date? Well, either way she didn't know what it meant. What if she went expecting it was a date when really it was a friendly dinner, or she went thinking it was a friendly thing, and it wasn't. Another question popped in her head. What if it was a date, and he went in for a good night kiss?!

Yes, Olivia's mind wandered to many possibilities, scaring the crap out of her. Either way she would be screwed. What if she said no? Would she lose a friend? What if she said yes and her assumptions lead to an arguement or someother form of evil acts and she, again, loses her friend?

"Uh-uuhu-m." she inched back to the spot where she had sat moments ago and looked back to the ground. The best answer was, "Okay" well, hopefully nothing bad happens while dinner is in process... or after dinner. "Uh, when? What day?" she wasn't sure if he was asking to bring her that night or the next. After all, how many times does she get asked to dinner?

[Gabriel Seran]

"Okay" Gabriel wasn't disheartened by the reply, it was indeed a positive reply, he knew well enough that she wouldn't do it if she didn't want to being the blunt person she appeared to be though the quiet ones were often the ones you truly needed to worry about.

"Uh, when? What day?"
He took a look at the time and paused for a thoughtful effect for a short while making it seem as though he was actually thinking on it.
"How about we say tomorrow, six thirty?"

He stared at her curiously as to find out what made her tick, Olivia was different, not in a negative way at least not to Gabriel it just irked him at how she could stay so hidden and repressed, he understood her background but he had it just as bad. He remembered what he said about Alexis how she simply reacted oppositely and in an outward fashion was it indeed the same with him?

"You sure? I mean you don't have to unless you'd like that?" Gabriel reiterated her statement she';d used on him earlier.

[Olivia Green]

It took a moment for him to think of the dinner day, but livi sat patiently waiting for the reply,"How about we say tomorrow, six thirty?"

She nodded absent mindedly. She was scared to death of the outcome of this dinner. Either way she was scared of losing him. He was her first friend. Hopefully he never entirely finds that out, because it could put a lot of weight on one's shoulders.

"You sure? I mean you don't have to unless you'd like that?" suddenly she had that feeling he only invited her out of pitty. Her eyes shifted her arms and realized how skinny she was. he probably couldn't stand the thought of her being nearly bone and he just didn't want her to die from starvation. He didn't care about her, he cared about one less dying person.

"I um... I will go if you want me to go.... I don't need to go out if you don't want to..." she turned the question around, but not on purpose. She actually meant it and was scared he just didn't want to be her friend.

[Gabriel Seran]

Gabriel cocked a brow curiously wondering whether she truly meant it, he was unsure now what was going through her mind. Under normal conditions he'd suspect her to be returning a small flirtatious action but it was how she represented the action that worried him.

He brought a hand down to lead her head into attention once again though this time he didn't retrace the hand. He knew of her indifference to space but now was an opportunity to prove something. It may have been a moot point by now but he needed to show some comfort some fraction of his actual feelings however hard they where to represent. He moved in closer to her lifting her jaw up tenderly and moving his own to her level and kissed her gently on the lips before moving back.

"There is nothing I would want more..."

[Olivia Green]

She felt his hand lift her head, so they could be looking to each other once again. Though her eyes turned so she wasn't looking at him, but some people walking down the path heading for class. It would appear lunch was over.

Next thing she knew he didn't comfort her with his words telling her he would want her to come. Instead Livi felt his lips against hers. Her eyes shot back to his face when she felt the connection and once they parted she still stared at him in disbelief.

"There is nothing I would want more..." Livi just stared. She didn't know what to do. So he did want her to go to dinner? As in a dinner date? She was quite surprised in herself actually. She didn't tummble to her feet and or scream from such an unexpected action. Olivia....liked it? Though now she had new worries piled high on her shoulders. What if he wanted another kiss... like a real one, but she didn't know how. She never kissed a boy, besides just now. Does he just want in her pants? Was she a sex object in his eyes? These troubled her indeed. Though none the less she was breath taken from the kiss and still hadn't replied.

Again Olivia started to panic, because she knew for a fact she wasn't good enough for him. He was using her! She grabbed her inhaler from her lunch bag and took a couple puffs then looked back at him. If she didn't want him to use her, all she had to say was "no, I don't want to go to dinner" but something pulled her. Pulled her away from the refusal. Was it trust?

"Six thirty then?" she spoke in a timid and soft voice.

[Gabriel Seran]

He grinned with a certain pleasure to the thought. It was a sweet kiss not the kinds in movies filled with passion and lust, but one of careful timidity, sweetness and caring. Once receded he took observation of what he'd accomplished. A speechless woman, his ears waited hurriedly hoping for a positive reaction. He grew impatient and almost worried by the slow reaction. His grin had slowly disappeared to worry.

"Six thirty then?" she spoke in a timid and soft voice.

In an instant the grin was back and he was already expecting on the evening ahead. No h was not the kind of man who pressured a woman but didn't he know that was what she was thinking absolutely not. But eventually he'd have to come across the time when he'd end up having to prove his valor on the matter. Though he was quite interested in another kiss, though for now it'd have to wait suspense was better left when it built.

"Six thirty." He said with a soft word folding up her hand to kiss it again softly, "I'll drop by to pick you up, where the driver dropped you off I s'pose?" he questioned before moving to stand and shift into a different direction.

[Olivia Green]

A smile disappeared from his face when she didn't answer him rihgt away, but she wasn't entirely focused on his expression at the time being, "Six thirty." He took up her hand and brought it to his lips for a kiss on the hand, "I'll drop by to pick you up, where the driver dropped you off I s'pose?"

She got up with him, and brought the bag up along with her. She still had tofu left, she could save it for another time. "Uh, yeah.." Olivia waved at him in gesture of saying goodbye and she turned to the path that would lead back to the section of the school she needed to head to.

"See you tomorrow.."
