They stopped by the Chinese restaurant and picked up the food, and before she had the chance to protest he paid for their meal.
"You do realize that I am perfectly capable of paying for my own food." she said with an angry glare.
"I do realize that. Do you realize that the common reply to a kind gesture is a simple thank you" he said with a small chuckle.
"Thank you' she said with the most sarcasm she could muster up.
"What do you say we take all of this back to my place and watch a movie?"He said with hope.
"I say I have a lot of paperwork to do." He automatically put on his begging face and gave her the puppy eyes.
"Come on!!! It will be there in the morning when you get back. Pretty please?" he said with a childish voice. She gave him thought for a moment and considered his argument.
"Well, I guess you are right, but I get to pick the movie." She said trying to sound like it was painful for her to leave her mound of endless paperwork.
"That works for me, as long as it isn't some chick flick." She raised her eyebrow and scoffed. Then she grinned and began walking out of the restaurant.
"The only chick flicks I watch are the ones with Gerard Butler in them. He is so dreamy." she said as they both burst into laughter.
They pulled up to his apartment, and before she had the chance to gather her belongings he had hopped out, run to the passenger side of the car, and opened the car door for her.
"Wow" she said as she took his outstretched hand," and who said chivalry is dead?"
"So I am thinking a comedy or maybe an action movie" he said with childlike excitement.
"I thought I got to pick the movie" she said as he finished helping her out of the car.
He put his hand at his waist and gestured for her to put her arm through his. She smiled and began twirling her hair with her free hand.
"I was thinking comedy too." She said with a flirty smile.
When they finally got to his loft, they opened to door to an empty apartment. Alexis was studying with some of her friends for the night, and Martha was L.A for an acting class.
"Peace and Quiet" he said as he began sorting through all of the food.
