Chap6

Joey marched over to where serenity and Marik were.
"HEY! Get off of her!" He grabbed marik by the shoulders and threw him off the bench.
"Serenity, did he hurt you?" He asked ignoring the stunned marik who was now sitting on the wet ground. Serenity shook her head.
"No he didn't hurt me Joey he fell." She said softly. "It wasn't his fault." Joey glared at marik before concentrating his attention on his sister.
Marik got up and brushed off the few dead leaves that still clung to him.
"Common Serenity Lets go home."
"Joey?"
"Yeah?"
"Would you mind if I go out to get something to eat?"
"Go ahead. Just be careful . . .And stay away from him." He pointed to a now pissed/embarrassed marik. "Thanks." She smiled at her brother.
"Bye Serenity and be home before it gets too dark!" Joey waved before heading home.
"Bye." She waved as well.
"Sorry about that." Serenity said peering over at the Egyptian who was now sitting on the bench again.
"Its ok . . .Sorry I fell on you." Marik nearly biting his tong saying that. Serenity smiled at him; continuing to stand.
"Do you want to come with me to get a bite to eat?" She asked him. He nodded and stood as well.
The two left the empty park and toward the diner. The waiter sat them at a small table at the back of the room.
Serenity and marik sat down and took the menus the waiter handed them. "What would you two like to drink?" The waiter asked taking out a small pad and a small blue pen.
"I'll have a coke." Marik said without looking up from the menu.
"I'll have the same." Serenity said as the waiter left. (Serenity's thoughts) 'Wonder what he's thinking . . .He seems like he concentrating really hard . . .Am I what he's thinking about? . . .Is he thinking about me like I think of him? . . .It looks like he has a big problem he's trying to solve . . .

(Mariks POV) 'Wonder if I should get the small pan sized pizza with extra cheese and pepperoni or the chicken fingers with a side order of fry's and apple sauce?. . .decisions decisions. . .'

(A/N- what a big problem marik has on his hands right now . . .(-.-) )

(Mariks POV)

The waiter came back over with the small pad and tiny blue pencil. "What would you like to eat sir?" He asked getting ready to write my order of the paper. "Ill have the chicken finger with the side order of fries and apple sauce." "Ok . . .Miss? What would you like?" he said while looking at Serenity. "Ill have the ham and cheese sandwich. Please." She said handing him both of our menus. The waiter took the menus and left for the kitchen.

"So . . .do you know how to dance?" Serenity asked taking a bite out of her giant sandwich.
"Yes. As a matter of fact I do and in my opinion I dance very well." I said while eating a French fry.
"So why don't you want to go tot the dance if you think your such a good dancer?" she asked taking a sip of her soda.
"I cant dance that well when im in public." I said simply.
"Why is that?"
"There's always the feeling that someone is studying you, watching for you to make a mistake and when you do they tell everyone else."
"So you mostly just embarrassed?"
"Pretty much." He took another bite out of his chicken finger.
"I get nervous easily when im in near strangers."
"Would never of guessed that." Mari said sarcasticly.
(-.-) "Shut up." Serenity ate the rest of her sandwich. Both finished Marik paid for there meal and they both left.
15 minutes of silence before Serenity asked," Do you like me?"
Marik stopped to look at her.
"What do you mean 'like?" He asked seriously.
"I don't know . . ." She said, stopping as well.
"I can answer if I have no idea what you mean . . .Are you asking me if a Like Like you? Or just like as friends?" He asked.
"Like like."
There was a pause before Marik finally opened his mouth. "I . . ."
