Thread: Meet the Bride. ( Me and Ahri the Kumiho )

Brandon offered her the sweetest of his smiles as he planted his books onto the table, a collection of both history and science materials that seemed to hold no particular order. Thank you, um, Eva ? Ava ? Was it ? he asked as he lowered himself onto the seat to her left. Brandon was well aware of her name, but he needed a way to entangle Ava into a conversation, brief as it had to be since he had to prepare for the next class soon. It wasn't a long winded conversation he expected though, just a brief hello, a little get to know each other, enough to see where he stood with her, and then perhaps an opportunity to get to know her even better. an unexpected subject really considering how little attention anyone bothered to give towards this young woman, though for some reason or the other Brandon bothered to talk to her, and for a guy known to have turned down near any advance coming from the other girls, it was something that may come as utterly unexpected. So.. he would start once she had corrected him on her name, pausing as though he needed to reconsider his words carefully as something seemed onto his mind, a reaction that may have seemed so timid for a young man that seemed otherwise so confident. I'm, throwing a party, kind of ... later this evening that is, and I was.. wondering. he would then go on, apparently somewhat shy about whatever proposal he had in mind. Well, I was wondering, would you care to come over ? he asked her then, finally carrying across his lips the question that seemed to have bothered him. Yet, he still seemed bothered by something which he needed to reconsider for a moment, one through which he reached back at his neck to firmly massage it while struggling to correct the description of his offer. Well, actually, it's not a party per say but... he tried, and then paused again before he'd add with somewhat of a shamed expression on his face. .. what I'm meaning to say is, would you go on a date with me ? Over at my place.. he managed at last, yet quickly adding as though it would make a difference between heaven and hell. My dad's there for the weekend so you wont have to worry about anything, I mean if you would ... and, I would understand if you weren't interested ! he quickly added, highly interested to let Ava know that there was no danger of some shady business, an issue he badly wanted to assure her of as though it may matter, and most likely it would as a Visit to his home may seem quite a bit to private for a first date. A date, he was actually asking her out for a date, an offer that seemed quite unlikely coming from him, for Brandon to show any interest at all where he would seem to have such a variety of other girls to chose from. Even more so, he seemed shy about his offer, which could have been taken as indication that he himself was new to the whole idea of dating. Sadly though Brandon wasn't, and as he was proving to himself yet again, he was quite a skilled actor, an aspect of himself that he was quite proud of. Hopefully it would work on Ava though, she wasn't like the usual kind of woman he hung out with, but that made her so appealing to him. She was an outsider, and quite pretty if you dared looking past the socially awkward geek that she was, a perfect young woman to hone his skills with. That was, if she accepted his offer, but a young woman like her surely wouldn't deny the chance...
