Lizzie Bassett (Jul 12, 2011 9:17:01 PM)
*she pulls up in her gold Dodge Caliber, in one of her plethora of little black dresses, her hair pulled hastily back from her face into a pseudo-bun at the nape of her neck, already out of the car before having to lean back in to get her purse before starting into the restaurant*

Chris White (Jul 12, 2011 9:18:57 PM)
Chris was already inside, sitting in a booth by himself with a cup of coffee. He had on a plain black t-shirt and blue jeans with his loafers. Nothing fancy, it was just a waffle house afetr all.

Lizzie Bassett (Jul 12, 2011 9:20:48 PM)
*as she looks around, and spies him, she smiles and starts towards his booth* Hey. *sliding in across from him, putting her bag on the seat before looking his way again* How are you?

Chris White (Jul 12, 2011 9:21:47 PM)
"Hey Lizzie." He smiled a bit tiredly perhaps. "I'm alright considering how late...or early it is. How's Big Brother Boss?"

Lizzie Bassett (Jul 12, 2011 9:25:56 PM)
*she nods, the smile faded* He's fine, I guess. He wasn't there tonight. *her brow knits* I'm sorry I'm keeping you up. I won't suggest this anymore.

Chris White (Jul 12, 2011 9:27:19 PM)
"Ohh nonsense..." He placed his hand on hers gently. "Though maybe next time we can just wait till dawn, not like it's that far off." He smiled a bit. "Perhaps we can find some other activities with which to entertain ourself with. And I could fix you that omelette."

Lizzie Bassett (Jul 12, 2011 9:28:22 PM)
*mock-innocently, as she turns her hand to hold his gently back, giving it a small squeeze* Activities huh? I wonder what those might be....*as she tries to stifle a smirk*

Chris White (Jul 12, 2011 9:29:48 PM)
"Yes little miss innocent, I just bet you do." He gave her a wink before flagging down the waitress. "You ready Lizzie, to order that is."

Lizzie Bassett (Jul 12, 2011 9:30:33 PM)
*she chuckles, nodding* I will be ready if you order first. *looking from him down to the menu on the table, perusing it quickly*

Chris White (Jul 12, 2011 9:31:59 PM)
He had already studied the menu so he looked up at the waitress with a tired smile and said said. "Let me have the ham and eggs combo. Eggs over easy please."

Lizzie Bassett (Jul 12, 2011 9:33:49 PM)
*she looks to the woman after he finishes* Two eggs over hard and a Belgian waffle. *she stops, but quickly adds* And some decaf, please. *smiling to the woman before looking back to Chris, the smile wider for him*

Chris White (Jul 12, 2011 9:35:12 PM)
"Decaf..." He made a teasing face. "Isn't that kind of like cake without chocolate?"

Lizzie Bassett (Jul 12, 2011 9:35:40 PM)
*she shrugs with another smile* Maybe but I'd like to sleep at some point.

Chris White (Jul 12, 2011 9:36:49 PM)
"Well maybe I can help you with that?" His face grew a little more serious at that.

Lizzie Bassett (Jul 12, 2011 9:37:42 PM)
*good-naturedly, as another little smile starts on her lips* Wear me out with some ....activities?

Chris White (Jul 12, 2011 9:39:10 PM)
"Well, if that is your preferred method I'm certainly not going to complain, but I was thinking maybe a back rub ." He grinned widely though, her method was good too!

Lizzie Bassett (Jul 12, 2011 9:40:14 PM)
Oh...a back rub. *she nods, grinning* I could go for that. *chuckling quietly*

Chris White (Jul 12, 2011 9:41:44 PM)
"Well first...get some food in you to soak up any residual alcohol?" He caressed her hand lightly again before letting it go to take his coffee and raise it to his lips.

Lizzie Bassett (Jul 12, 2011 9:42:58 PM)
Are you implying that I imbibe at work? *she gasps a little, as if shocked, sitting up straighter to play at being taken aback before smirking again, slowly pulling her hand back to her side, placing it in her lap with the other, folded, shaking her head at him*

Chris White (Jul 12, 2011 9:44:31 PM)
"Are you implying that you do not? Every Bartender I ever saw, especially female was constantly being bought a drink by their clientelle" The waitress came by and poured Lizzie a cuppa, and refilled Chris' from a different pitcher. "Thank you maam.."

Lizzie Bassett (Jul 12, 2011 9:45:48 PM)
*she smiles in thanks to the waitress before dumping some sugar and cream into her mug, giving it a stir* Just because they buy them, doesn't mean I drink them. Well....*she puts the spoon down on her napkin* ...not all of them. *she smiles* It was slow tonight though. I don't think I'm too inebriated.

Chris White (Jul 12, 2011 9:46:41 PM)
Liftening the freshened and completely black coffee to his lips he sipped again. "Pity for me perhaps." Spoken with a smirk as he lowered the cup.

Lizzie Bassett (Jul 12, 2011 9:48:25 PM)
Were you planning on taking advantage of me? *she smirks, lowering her voice* I hardly think you'd need me to be drunk. I'm sure you have other methods at home to use. *taking a little sip of the coffee, being careful as it was hot*

Chris White (Jul 12, 2011 9:49:21 PM)
He leaned on one elbow and put his chin in his hand. "Well I'd rather you not be high as a kite if that's what you meant. Hopefully it would not take /that/"

Lizzie Bassett (Jul 12, 2011 9:51:52 PM)
*she smiles* Well, while I prefer being asked than being taken advantage of....I think you're right. I doubt I would need any mind-altering to be interested, Chris. *smiling more gently before having another cautious sip*

Chris White (Jul 12, 2011 9:53:49 PM)
"I must admit, I feel terribly inadequate at this whole dating thing. In some ways it takes me back to my first year of college. I was only 16 and everyone else waround me was...well considerably older."

Lizzie Bassett (Jul 12, 2011 9:54:39 PM)
You were 16? *her eyes widen* Geez....you are smart. I feel intimidated......*her brow knitting, fussing with the silverware some*

Chris White (Jul 12, 2011 9:56:32 PM)
"You shouldn't...it was horrible. " He gave her an easy grin as the waitress came and sat her plate down in front of her and then slid Chris's over in front of him. The eggs seemed cooked to at least a close approximation of what they ordered and Chris gave her a curt "Thank ya darlin."

Lizzie Bassett (Jul 12, 2011 9:57:55 PM)
*to the waitress, she gives a cheery* Thanks. *smiling to the woman again before taking up her fork, poking at the eggs a few times* College was horrible? Or dating?

Chris White (Jul 12, 2011 9:59:02 PM)
"Well...there was no dating. I did well in my classes because I had nothing else to do. Trust me...18 and 19 year old girls are /not/ interested in 16 year old kids."

Lizzie Bassett (Jul 12, 2011 10:00:40 PM)
*she nods her head a little, looking at him momentarily before cutting into an egg to have a bite before going on* Well...you dated people later on, right?

Chris White (Jul 12, 2011 10:01:31 PM)
"Yes...I suppose.." He got quiet a bit as he cut off a piece of ham, and some egg and chewed on it. It was clear something about that disturbed him a little.

Lizzie Bassett (Jul 12, 2011 10:02:59 PM)
*she frowns some, seeing that's a sore subject, offering a quiet* Sorry...*and turning back to her eggs since she wasn't sure what to say now anyhow*

Chris White (Jul 12, 2011 10:03:35 PM)
'It's ok...it's just one of those things you wonder. 'Well how much do I tell her', you know what I mean?"

Lizzie Bassett (Jul 12, 2011 10:04:27 PM)
*she nods, her expression clearly understanding, quietly again* Oh, I know. *another couple nods* I know. *and eats some more of her eggs before they get cold*

Chris White (Jul 12, 2011 10:05:14 PM)
He chewed on some food a bit more, apparently thinking about it. "Well I guess it's maybe best to just lay it all out so you can make an informed decision."

Lizzie Bassett (Jul 12, 2011 10:06:10 PM)
*she looks at him uncertainly, stopping mid-bite, and after a moment, shaking her head* You don't have to explain your past to me. It's your business.

Chris White (Jul 12, 2011 10:08:13 PM)
"Ohh..." he fell quiet for a minute more that turned into two, and before he knew it he had finished off the small breakfast and reached for his coffee cup to wash it all down. "I still feel like you should know."

Lizzie Bassett (Jul 12, 2011 10:10:16 PM)
*she blinks a few times at her plate and then at him, before nodding slightly* All right. *putting her fork down, abandoning the waffle for now to give him her attention completely*

Chris White (Jul 12, 2011 10:12:41 PM)
"Well I had a few dates and a few girlfriends my Senior year, then I became a grad student and got pretty serious with this one girl. To make a very long story short, she got pregnant and decided to abort it...and...she was one of my students."

Lizzie Bassett (Jul 12, 2011 10:15:01 PM)
*she tries to not look surprised, but....it was a bit to take in...and her eyebrows lift some before she can stop them, giving pause again, lowering her voice once more* Was that...Theresa?

Chris White (Jul 12, 2011 10:15:45 PM)
"Yeah...that was her."

Chris White (Jul 12, 2011 10:16:00 PM)
He looked down at the table, apparently expecting the worst

Lizzie Bassett (Jul 12, 2011 10:16:54 PM)
*she nods some, watching him, reaching for his hand this time, to hold it lightly, somberly, quietly* I'm sorry, Chris.

Chris White (Jul 12, 2011 10:19:00 PM)
He squeezed her hand back. "It's alright no reason for you to be sorry. The past is what it is ya know?" He raised his eyes slowly to look at her. "Before mom died she always said that things happen for a reason and maybe she is right."

Lizzie Bassett (Jul 12, 2011 10:19:44 PM)
*she nods* Maybe....but I still feel bad for you. *keeping his hand in hers till he moves it*

Chris White (Jul 12, 2011 10:21:37 PM)
He showed no sign of moving it for now as his food was done and apparently enough caffeine in him to suffice. "Well I guess it's good someone does?" He chuckled a bit, perhaps trying to break the awkward tension he felt.

Lizzie Bassett (Jul 12, 2011 10:22:20 PM)
*she frowns some, as if at a loss of what to say again*

Chris White (Jul 12, 2011 10:25:31 PM)
"I really don't want you to feel sorry for me, that's not whay I told you. I just wanted you to know how big of a fuck up I was before...well you might get to attached and make it more painful if you want to leave."

Lizzie Bassett (Jul 12, 2011 10:27:37 PM)
I know that's not why you told me, but I like you. It's hard not to care about you, whatever happens now or what happened before. *shrugging some to him*

Chris White (Jul 12, 2011 10:29:37 PM)
"Anyway now ya know." He squeezed her hand lightly again

Lizzie Bassett (Jul 12, 2011 10:31:09 PM)
*she nods to him, giving another squeeze back, still leaving the rest of her midnight breakfast abandoned* It doesn't change anything. So don't worry. Okay?

Chris White (Jul 12, 2011 10:31:55 PM)
"Alright...are you done? Eating that is." He head nodded towards her plate.

Lizzie Bassett (Jul 12, 2011 10:32:53 PM)
*she nods her head, letting go of his hand gently to get her purse, pulling it onto her lap and opening it*

Chris White (Jul 12, 2011 10:33:31 PM)
"Ohh don't worry...I got breakfast. But...well how would you like to go see the sunrise on the gulf?"

Lizzie Bassett (Jul 12, 2011 10:36:22 PM)
That sounds nice, but I invited you. I should pay. *still trying to get money out*

Chris White (Jul 12, 2011 10:38:15 PM)
"Lizzie...this may be 2011, but let me get it alright? What else am I gonna spend my money on? You can get the tip though" He winked and then snagged up the check to head over to check out.

Lizzie Bassett (Jul 12, 2011 10:38:50 PM)
All right....*to herself, as he walks away, leaving a generous tip before sliding out of the booth to follow him*

Chris White (Jul 12, 2011 10:41:00 PM)
He walked outside holding the door for her and turned, walking backwards, motioning for her to follow him as he made his way over to his motorcycle. "Surprise...you think you can ride this in that dress?"

Lizzie Bassett (Jul 12, 2011 10:42:01 PM)
*she looks past him towards the bike, smiling, with a nod* I think I can be careful. Just no laughing at me trying to get on in this, okay?

Chris White (Jul 12, 2011 10:43:42 PM)
"Well I have a blanket roll strapped on the back too so you'll have to not be shy and get up close against me." He handed her the spare helmet as he strapped his own on. "I have a full tank of gas and am ready to go. "He climbed on to hold it steady for her to try to get on when she was ready.

Lizzie Bassett (Jul 12, 2011 10:45:30 PM)
*she hooks her bag on her arm and pulls on the helmet, securing it before moving to the bike, holding onto his shoulder before tugging her skirt up some, after the coast is clear for folks being around watching, and sliding onto the seat behind him, indeed, very close, wrapping her arms around him* Ready.

Chris White (Jul 12, 2011 10:47:09 PM)
He started the bike and the BMW engine purred to life under them before he eased into the throttle and took off out of the parking lot to take advantage of the sparse morning traffic as they cruised their way sout and east out of town.

Chris White (Jul 12, 2011 10:47:21 PM)
(Wanna room hop?)

Lizzie Bassett (Jul 12, 2011 10:47:30 PM)
(that works!)

Chris White (Jul 12, 2011 10:47:38 PM)
(pw will be sunrise)

Lizzie Bassett (Jul 12, 2011 10:47:43 PM)
(ok!)
