(that was quick haha)
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 7:36:30 PM)
(lol hell i just thought i would make the room *snicker fitt*)
Patrick O'Keeffe (Oct 15, 2011 7:37:24 PM)
*he follows her out of the building and then in to the resturant*
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 7:42:22 PM)
*it was a small little chinese returant a couple of tables left to right of the counter and the kitchen in the back..*
Patrick O'Keeffe (Oct 15, 2011 7:44:46 PM)
*he looks around for a moment before he moves to a table. He pulls her chair out before taking his seat also*
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 7:47:27 PM)
*She noticed he pulled her seat out and she smiled* thank you! *All excitedly, her blonde dredlocks and the sexy little skirt that screamed punk girl with those buckled boots was extremly different from his own choice of dress style*
Patrick O'Keeffe (Oct 15, 2011 7:51:36 PM)
*he smiled a little* is it not buffet? they actually make the meal?
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 7:54:45 PM)
*She smiled and shook her head* its not a buffette.. *The dreds moved left and right when she shook her hair as she looked over at him with that playfull smile and the waitress came over to hand them the menues and selma ordered for herself* ill have sesame chicken and umm *thinks thinks* ice water..
Patrick O'Keeffe (Oct 15, 2011 7:58:12 PM)
Sweet and sour chicken, and a coke *he grind to the woman before looking to Selma* this is not bad so far
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 7:59:44 PM)
*The woman moved off and selma smiled at him..* i know I love it here... *The music playing in the background was what some people would call elevator music, old classical piano songs or instrumentals*
Patrick O'Keeffe (Oct 15, 2011 8:02:05 PM)
*he looked around and smiled some* I really like hole in the wall places that no one knows it. The food is great and you have no idea it is there untill somone tells you about it
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 8:03:39 PM)
*She laughed at that, nodding to him in responce* totaly agree with you there, Ive been to alot of places like that, some i have liked.. *He would note there was no reflective surfaces in the returant.. and the only reflective surfaces he seen in selmas place was the dim reflection of passing by a window...*
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 8:04:03 PM)
(shes got a mirror in her bathroom but he didnt go in the bathroom)
Patrick O'Keeffe (Oct 15, 2011 8:08:45 PM)
they usually are pretty good because they are not all business. They are still putting soul in thier food. It is all about the taste of it and how proud they are of what they can make
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 8:11:19 PM)
Yes Cooking is also an art, a explosion of flavors that bring with it the passion of there creator.. I how ever am not at all talented in that department.. I can make a good cup of coffee and manage to not burn my toast, but if it was not for cereal i don't think I would eat breakfast in the mornings.. *She smiled and laughed at her own admission to failing as a chef*
Patrick O'Keeffe (Oct 15, 2011 8:12:14 PM)
*he laughs some* damn you are worse off than me. I at least know how to cook some eggs and bacon.
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 8:14:53 PM)
*she laughed* ohh my yeah the egg thing i mean ive tried to make them all, my over easy is never easy and the scrambled is never fluffy its either rubbery or a bit crunchy and no i dont leave the shells in them i just have no skill at it.. i have attempted to make bacon its never turned out right, so i thought i would try the all ready cooked bacon that you make in the microwave and it tasted awful..
Patrick O'Keeffe (Oct 15, 2011 8:16:36 PM)
holy christ on a stick, you really do suck a cooking *he spoke with a grin and humor in his voice. His hand moves to hers to pat it a moment so she knows he is only poking fun
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 8:17:07 PM)
*Only a few moments later there food came.. Two large plates of sesame chicken over fluffy white rice, a large glass of ice water for her and he recived his coke a cola*
Patrick O'Keeffe (Oct 15, 2011 8:18:21 PM)
*he looks to the plate and smiles some* Looks pretty good I can not wait to dig in *he moved his hand from hers after a moment so he could grab himself a sip of his drink
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 8:18:27 PM)
*she laughed at his comment easily reading the humor in his voice.. She boldy admitted to the flaw* yes yes i do.. *a laugh to him then she inhaled the scent of the food and smiled brightly* but good thing i do or i may never have come across this place in my journeys..
Patrick O'Keeffe (Oct 15, 2011 8:18:52 PM)
OOO very true on that.
Patrick O'Keeffe (Oct 15, 2011 8:19:37 PM)
if you could make this at home, then you would
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 8:19:52 PM)
*She smiled* see its fate... *She added with a sparkle in her eyes before she picked up her ice water and took a sip of it..*
Patrick O'Keeffe (Oct 15, 2011 8:23:31 PM)
so it seems *he winked before he grabed his sticks and started to dig in*
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 8:25:00 PM)
*She took her sticks as well and began digging in, she was rather good with her chop sticks like she had eaten with them many times before.. She would occasionaly look over at him, the chop sticks looked to be made of white porclin with little chinese writting in red on the handles*
Patrick O'Keeffe (Oct 15, 2011 8:26:55 PM)
*he continued to eat and had a smile on his lips* this is really good
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 8:27:40 PM)
*She smiled and stopped long enough to take a sip and answer him before heading back to her meal* i love it, just the right amount of spiceyness right?
Patrick O'Keeffe (Oct 15, 2011 8:28:19 PM)
*nods* just hot enough to make it pop. it is great, you were right
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 8:30:41 PM)
*She reached down and waggled her brows at him as she attempted to eat more, she always seemed so light hearted except when she played that music it was likely the most raw dark emotions he has seen from her or anyone for that matter.*
Patrick O'Keeffe (Oct 15, 2011 8:40:33 PM)
so who else do you know in this city?
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 8:41:44 PM)
My sister, and the people at the community center, as well as some of my collegues at work and some friends ive made along the way..
Patrick O'Keeffe (Oct 15, 2011 8:42:17 PM)
ok that was a little vague, what about anyone one of them that stick out more than others?
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 8:47:02 PM)
My sister is a artist she paints, and the people at the community center are some of the kindest people I know, My collegues at work think I work to much, and are always on me to take a vacation..
Patrick O'Keeffe (Oct 15, 2011 8:47:59 PM)
realy your sister paints? You have a talented family
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 8:50:34 PM)
*She smiled at him* yes she also volenteers at a place to teach others less fortuneate then herself.. She is younge only 18 years old..
Patrick O'Keeffe (Oct 15, 2011 8:51:16 PM)
Oh so there is a good chance I will meet her?
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 8:52:43 PM)
*She smiled* yes well there was a good chance you could have run into her tonight, she lives with me.. She's only 18 so she still lives at home.. *she said that in a allmost parental way as if she was some how expected to take care of her sister.*
Patrick O'Keeffe (Oct 15, 2011 8:55:14 PM)
*he made note of her inflection and the words she picked.* oh it seems I just missed her. it will happen sooner or later then
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 8:56:42 PM)
*She smiled at him* yes I am sure you will love her, she is adorable.. *She smiled and finished up her meal she truly had been hungry* oh that was delicious..
Patrick O'Keeffe (Oct 15, 2011 8:58:26 PM)
I will take your word for it and you were absolutly correct. This was delisious *he motioned to the food that he just finished*
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 9:03:57 PM)
*She smiled at him* i enjoyed it as well.. *The woman came back and dropped the check off with the fortune cookies, she then used a sterile cloth and wiped the porclin sticks placing them in a white thin paper bag leaving them on the table with the fottune cookies and the bill and took the plates.. Then Selma took one of the fortune cookies and whispered* second hand faith.. *her eyes raised to his and she giggled* I put these cookies in a song.. *her cheeks blushed brightly.. The cookies where not your normal wrapped crispy mass produced fortune cookies, these where actuly warm and soft and the paper was thicker and stuck out of them.. *
Patrick O'Keeffe (Oct 15, 2011 9:07:41 PM)
*he laughs a little at her admitting the singing thing* Oh your pretty funny you know that? *he looked to the cookie and took his before craking it open so he can see what it holds for him*
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 9:10:39 PM)
*She watched him cracks his open the fortune said.. "A woman who seeks to be equal with men lacks ambition."*
Patrick O'Keeffe (Oct 15, 2011 9:11:09 PM)
*he laughs a little as he reads it*
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 9:11:25 PM)
*She opened hers and spoke it out loud..* A conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking.
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 9:11:35 PM)
*She responded*Aint that the truth.
Patrick O'Keeffe (Oct 15, 2011 9:12:29 PM)
yours is way less sexist than mine *he ofered it to her so he can take a bite of his cookie*
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 9:13:05 PM)
*she took his to read it and she laughed as well her cheeks going red* my my..
Patrick O'Keeffe (Oct 15, 2011 9:14:14 PM)
*he nods* indeed
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 9:15:10 PM)
*She would place her money on the bill then take the white bag and hand it to him..* you should take these to your house..
Patrick O'Keeffe (Oct 15, 2011 9:15:46 PM)
*he places some money down also and looks at the bag* oh? I should?
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 9:16:27 PM)
*she nodded her head* yes i have plenty and it was your first time here..
Patrick O'Keeffe (Oct 15, 2011 9:17:34 PM)
*he takes the bag and then nods* oh ok then. *he pulls a pick out of his vest and offers it to her* fair is fair
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 9:20:42 PM)
*She reached for the pick and smiled at him*I don't have anything to use this with, but i shall keep it in my piano room for your next lesson..
Patrick O'Keeffe (Oct 15, 2011 9:21:19 PM)
*he smirks some* yes you do, it even has it's own case
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 9:21:58 PM)
*She looked at him confused by his last statement*
Patrick O'Keeffe (Oct 15, 2011 9:22:43 PM)
*when he left he did not bring his guitar with them*
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 9:24:51 PM)
*She smiled at him..*Ohh yes well we shall go back and get that guitar then.. *She smiled and motioned him to follow her out and back up the street towards her apartment..* I can't belive I had forgotten about that, I did not even order my saki..
Patrick O'Keeffe (Oct 15, 2011 9:25:52 PM)
really it is yours. It is not my favorite but it is still a really nice guitar. if you get an amp for it you will be set. *he smirks some as he gets up*
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 9:26:44 PM)
*She looked at him a bit shocked* really? Are you sure?
Patrick O'Keeffe (Oct 15, 2011 9:28:59 PM)
it is part of the leasons you wanted me toteach you guitar right?
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 9:29:37 PM)
*She nodded* but i should be paying you not the other way around, and speaking of payment how much would you like for my private lessons?
Patrick O'Keeffe (Oct 15, 2011 9:32:33 PM)
i really do not know i am really new at this kind of thing
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 9:34:00 PM)
I don't know either to be honest... Ive never had a real lesson before..
Patrick O'Keeffe (Oct 15, 2011 9:35:34 PM)
I jsut hope I am doing a good job at it.
Patrick O'Keeffe (Oct 15, 2011 9:37:05 PM)
but I guess time will tell *grins sheepishly*
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 9:38:06 PM)
*She nudged him with her elbow* patrick your a great teacher, you are very modest though.. *She smiled* which is also very endearing quality..*she moved beside him on the side walk.. She looked at her cell which began to vibrate.. Her eyes flittered down towards it..*
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 9:38:29 PM)
*She asked him* do you know what time it is?
Patrick O'Keeffe (Oct 15, 2011 9:41:02 PM)
before ten? *he pulls out his pocket watch and checks the time before he gives her the correct time*
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 9:42:38 PM)
Ahh all good then, though I should get dressed In some thing more appropriate, honestly I don't feel the need to change my clothes for this evenings events. I am not sure what sort of message it would send, I don't want to seem fake, yet at the same time i do not want to seem as if im not presentable either.
Patrick O'Keeffe (Oct 15, 2011 9:43:54 PM)
*he watches her talk on the phone and finds a place to lean against a wall*
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 9:44:08 PM)
(she was not talking on the phone!)
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 9:44:15 PM)
(she is talking to him lol)
Patrick O'Keeffe (Oct 15, 2011 9:44:24 PM)
(oh hahaha strike that)
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 9:46:08 PM)
*She motioned to him* you dont have that problem the way you dress you would fit in any where you go, be it bussiness or casual, me well i live between two worlds, the medical profession and meetings and then my "oh thank god i can dress down in real comfortable clothes..
Patrick O'Keeffe (Oct 15, 2011 9:46:30 PM)
Um, I do not know what the nites events are, so I can not tell you what you need to wear
Patrick O'Keeffe (Oct 15, 2011 9:46:34 PM)
*he shruges a ltitle*
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 9:50:51 PM)
need to purpose a grant to some bussiness men whom would rather sink there money into more profittable avenues, charity is weaker then normal these days when even the rich are counting there change.. They had thought by pushing the time later and later in the evening that i might just get the hint and give up.. but thats not the case.. So tonight i go and speak with them should i dress up for a suck up appeal? or should i go as i am and be like Rawr im here to kick ass and take checks?
Patrick O'Keeffe (Oct 15, 2011 9:53:02 PM)
um, I really do not know. I have never tried to get people to donate money

Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 9:57:40 PM)
*she smiled at him* yeah its definately not a easy task, takes alot of confidence in your ability to be able to reach past the frozen heart so that you can keep the warm hearts well warm.. *She smiled at him and then gave him another big hug* thank you for the lesson
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 9:58:44 PM)
And for the promise of future lessons, and the time to donate for the music program, im so excited, and im soo thrilled to have gotten to meet you patrick.. you have got to be one of the most inspiring people ive met in a long time..
Patrick O'Keeffe (Oct 15, 2011 10:00:25 PM)
*he lowers his head and blushes a little* um thank you again.I look forward to teaching you
Selma Nelson (Oct 15, 2011 10:03:24 PM)
