The Breakfast Club

[B e t h y <3]

Morgan looked around and smiled. "This is nice, Asher." She picked up her menu and started looking over it. She always had trouble deciding what to get at a restraunt. "What are you getting?" she asked, wanting to compare their taste in foods.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Asher flicked through his menu a few times, a look of indecision on his face. He pursed his lips and flicked back to one page which looked particularly good. He then suggested, "You can get ones where you pick about four, smaller ones to share.. I wonder if you might prefer that, to get a few different ones? I mean, the mandarin duck looks great to me anyway."

 

[B e t h y <3]

"Sounds good. You can pick all four." Morgan said, setting her menu down. The server came over to the table and asked for their drink orders. "Lemonade, please" Morgan said, politely. She thought she recognized this guy. Apparently, he thought the same thing of her, because he asked, "You're Kyle's little sister, right?" "Uhm...yeah." Morgan said, not sure what that had to do with anything. "I'm Troy. I was friends with Kyle in high school, and we hooked up one night at a party, remember?" Morgan raised an eyebrow. "Uh- yeah?" she still didn't get the point of this conversation. "Is this your boyfriend?" he asked, motioning to Asher. Morgan shook her head, "Nope. And I'm not really looking into having a relationship, so you can leave now." Troy seemed taken aback. "Oh- well if you ever want to hook up again, call me." he said, finally turning to Asher for his drink order.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

"Oh, okay," Asher said, a bit taken aback by her decision. The thought of having to decide on four things.. well, he could barely pick one. Oh well. He picked them and then put his menu down, satisfied with his choice, and then observed the conversation between Troy the waiter and Morgan. He was never really sure what to make of Morgan's social life. It was so entirely different to his, it was quite amazing to him that their two lives could be so far from each others. Maybe that was why she almost fascinated him, in a way. When Troy turned to him, he said, "I'll get a lime and lemonade, thanks." When Troy left, he asked her, "Morgan, why do you hang out with me? I mean, I'm nothing like any of the guys you've been out with or hooked up with.. I mean, I really don't know why you would even notice somebody like me."

 

[B e t h y <3]

"Honestly, I don't know why. You just seem facinating to me, in a way. The whole reason I talked to you at first was because I liked your artistic skill. Then, it was to hook up, then it was because you're a nice guy." Morgan attempted to say, not sure if what she was saying was making any sense. She drummed her fingers on the table. "Sorry about that uh-conversation you had to hear..." she said, not exactly sure if that was acceptable to say.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Asher listened intently. It was a question which he had deemed important, because he really had no idea. He then nodded a bit, and then looked a mixture of confused, curious, and amused. "You wanted to hook up with me at one point?" he said, sort of just to get it out there. He was truly surprised by that, not at all annoyed or aggravated, just surprised. Why would she ever want to hook up with a guy like him? She was pretty, and popular, and nobody cared about him. "And, oh, it's alright."

 

[B e t h y <3]

Morgan nodded, wondering how he felt about that. "I find you to be extremely attractive." Morgan said, deciding she should just be completly honest.

Sorry for the fail, but I sadly must go clean my bedroom. :/

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Asher wondered for a moment if she was kidding. He paused to see if she hinted at that with perhaps a smile or a chuckle, and when she didn't, he wasn't quite sure what to say. He then settled for not addressing her statement directly, as such, and instead said to her, "Well, I can only say that.. I think you're.. I think you're very beautiful." He'd never said that to another person before. It felt strange to tell somebody that, but at the same time, it was nice not to let t out after having it bottled up for a long time. But then he pursed his lips. She said she found him attractive, but that didn't necessarily mean the same thing as what he'd implied. He knew that she had just wanted to hook up with people, while he wasn't like that; so she probably wouldn't even be remotely interested in him for anything else. He felt like he was waiting for it to be thrown back in his face now that he'd admitted something like that. "..I'm sorry," he said, "I don't know that I should have said that.." He was very confused about how he really felt about Morgan, if he was being honest, but he knew that he liked her as something a little more than a friend if he thought about her as much as he did.

Ah, that's okay. I'll talk to you.. Whenever

 

[B e t h y <3]

Morgan smiled, a bit bashfully. "No, no. It's fine. I actually find that comment to be flattering. No one's ever called me 'Beautiful' before." She tucked some loose hair behind her ear and bit her lip. She opened her mouth, as if she was going to tell Asher something. But, she closed it. Morgan wasn't confident enough to tell Asher what she was really wanting to say. Troy brought back the drinks, and turned on his heel, obviously a little bitter about Morgan's comment.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Asher felt thoroughly relieved that she took the comment in a good way. He then looked a little surprised. "Really? I don't know why, I think you've always been very pretty from when I met you. I certainly think you're beautiful. More people should tell you, and more often," he said to her. He was quiet, and when she opened her mouth but said nothing, he wished she had carried on. He ignored the fact that his drink had arrived and thought carefully, contemplating what else he could possibly say. He said, "I feel a little silly, and very crazy, and very stupid, for so many reasons. I don't quite understand what it is, how to describe what it feels like when I look at you, because I know nothing about any of this.. And I think so often that the thoughts I have about it are silly, and crazy, because of.. your current circumstance, and also because I never thought, and still don't think, you could ever truly like me. I don't really know what it is that I'm trying to say, just that I think my gut feeling is telling me I maybe like you a lot more than I should as a friend.. Im so confused." He then sighed and continued. "But I know that there are so many things that mean it couldn't work, even if I really knew how I feel about you. So, just when you tell me that, I understand, but do it nicely, please." He chuckled humourlessly. He wondered how that had managed to come out of his mouth. He'd never told anybody anything so personal to him before, and it made him feel vulnerable, because he knew how he thought she would react, and that hurt.

fsitkspjs. how is it possible that I always arrive just as people log off? come back D:

 

[B e t h y <3]

Morgan stayed silent, and took a sip of her lemonade, trying to absorb everything Asher had just said. "Really?" was all that could come out. She sounded almost timid, something very unusual for Morgan. After taking a deep breath, Morgan told him, "I-I know I said that we should just stay friends because I don't want to ruin what we have, but I've been thinking about it a lot lately, and I feel like I just can't stop thinking about you, which must mean that I have feelings that aren't feelings of just friends, and I don't know what to do because I don't want to burden you with all of the sh`t going on in my life and I think you deserve someone a lot better than me, and I don't want to disappoint you like I have everyone else and-" Morgan stopped for a breath. She ran a hand through her hair and chuckled lightly, "I guess what I'm trying to say is I like you. A lot. And I do think we should try for a relationship- I just don't want your first relationship to be... what's the word I'm looking for? Oh, right. A disappointment, or something as heavy as this would be."

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Asher took it all in. She liked him. She really did like him and think about him as much as he did about her. He said to her, "I really appreciate that you're looking out for me, and trying not to get me involved with certain aspects of your life. But that can't stop me from feeling the way I do about you. And I think I'd rather tell you how I feel and just.. Try something, than always wonder, 'what if?'." He went quiet for a moment. "Because this isn't just some kind of silly teenage crush, I've never been attracted to anybody in my life and then you just explode into it and I can't stop it." His head was telling him how stupid he was. Things would never be normal, he was socially awkward, she was pregnant with some other guy's baby, but he didn't care. "Nothing would disappoint me more than never knowing."

 

[B e t h y <3]

Morgan smiled. She wasn't sure what to say, so she just looked into Asher's eyes, knowing she finally found someone who didn't want her just to bang. Troy came back to the table and asked for their order, and Morgan snapped out of her own little world for a moment and nodded at Asher, so he could order. Because the sooner they got out of the restraunt, the sooner Morgan could give Asher his first kiss.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Asher asked for the set meal of various dishes, still a little bit dazed, and then when Troy left, he took a sip of drink and then smiled. He then looked unsure of himself for a moment, before slowly putting his hand out and taking hers across the table. He hoped she wouldn't mind that he really was a little bit shy at the moment, having never been in this situation before, but even the littlest thing like holding her hand made him feel really happy.

Aww man, I love these guys =D

 

[B e t h y <3]

Morgan smiled widely, and squeezed Asher's hand a bit. She loved the fact he was being shy- and the fact he had taken the time to hold her hand- something she wasn't exactly used to if it wasn't Cody. "I just want to let you know that you shouldn't feel obligated to take care of my baby." she said, a bit randomly. She wanted to make that clear now, since she had a feeling Riley wasn't going to be at all involved in their child's life.

I don't think they could get any cuter

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Asher smiled a bit more when she squeezed his hand. He then looked thoughtful for a moment and he said to her, "Morgan, if I'm going to be with you, then I have to accept everything that comes with it. You're going to need somebody to help you, and even though I'm not the baby's dad, I'll be there when you need me. Really, I'd do anything to make this work between you and me, and I think I have to be there, for this to work."

 

[B e t h y <3]

Morgan rolled her eyes, and accepted the answer- for now. "Whatever you say, Asher. Whatever you say." She thought for a moment, and then asked, "What was your first impression of me?"

Sorry for the fail. Haha.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

"I'm serious. I know you might not be used to a responsible guy, and even I think it's a little crazy, but there's no way I can just ignore the fact that you're having a baby," Asher told her. He then chuckled a bit at her question. "I've been asking myself that same question, because truthfully something about you when I met you was different to anybody else I've ever met, and I couldn't work it out. I've never felt like I really wanted to talk to a person before.. But when you talked to me, I wanted to say something. And I always thought you were pretty, and I liked you, because you were artistic, and you didn't try and treat me like the weird new kid that nobody likes the way everybody else did."

That's alright

 

[B e t h y <3]

Morgan bit her lip and said, "I wouldn't be so sure of yourself. YOu might change your mind later in the game." After a moment, she said, "Hmm. That first imipression is a lot better than some of the ones I've gotten before." She laughed and took a sip of her lemonade.

I'm in such a block today D:

 

[KERFUFFLE]

"Maybe I will, but I can assure you that if I ever tell you that I don't want to look after your baby you should kick me out. You and I can't last if I don't want to be there for you and your baby," Asher said. She was right in that it was a difficult situation, the scale of which was unfathomable until it really happened. Truthfully, the last thing on his mind was the thought of looking after somebody else's child, even if it was his girlfriend's, but he acknowledged that there really was no other way that they could work in the long term-- well, maybe she wasn't looking that far ahead, perhaps she didn't want to. He worried that something like that might get in the way of how things went, when he felt this way about her, but it was totally out of his control. "I think it depends on who is looking at you as to how they see you. You had a clean slate with me, no reputation, and I'm a completely unusual person. I'm hoping my impression is the one that matters." He smiled a bit. "Can I ask you the same question?" All the while he was still trying to get his head around the last few moments. He thought that it was when he had taken Morgan's hand and she had looked into his eyes-- right into them, after barely being able to look at him because of them-- that it really hit him that he really was going out with Morgan, after spending so long thinking about her.

That's alright :3
