Even though Tommy was furious that she had pushed him away in the diner, and even though he felt like an ass for leaving, he was relieved that she had chased after him. He wasn't proud of where his feet would have taken him if she hadn't stopped him.
He heard her questions and he answered with the first thing that came to his mind. "Because you really pissed me off back there. I took a risk, just as you did, but instead of accepting the risk, like I did, you rejected me." He sighed. "That's confusing. And don't be sorry, I was kind of a jerk before." He shrugged his shoulders, unsure of what else to say.
He saw Irisa typically during the day, so he really took notice to the way the moon danced in her eyes and on her orange features. "The moonlight really looks nice with your complexion." It sounded forced, his compliment, because he was still bitter about how he acted in the diner.
He didn't want to admit it, but he wasn't quit sure how to act around her at this point, knowing anything he could do could be taken any which way Irisa decided. He thought it was best to follow her lead for now.
"Wow that's rich coming from you. I came to you, expecting to talk and you just leave because you were pissed off? Who's the one who's rejecting now?". Irisa was getting more irritated by the minute. She was just unsure of how to act around others, and now she was made out to be the bad guy.
"I forget you don't understand Irathient, and yeah you kind of were an ass. I can't say I didn't deserve it though". She wanted to do something, something to show how bad she felt for doing all of this. She knew it was her fault and that she was toying with his emotions, she just didn't know how to show it to him.
As Tommy complimented her, her eyes dropped to the ground. She wasn't used to hearing such words from anyone - not even Nolan said things to her like that. Her mood instantly changed from irritated to confused. "Um…thanks?" She wasn't sure how to answer; she didn't want to seem rude but she didn't want to hurt his feelings either.
"So do you want to talk about this or..?". Irisa looked up searching Tommy's eyes for some indication towards an answer. She liked the guy, she really did. She just wasn't sure if she could allow herself to venture into that unknown space. What would happen next, was his call.
A/N: So that's all we have so far! As soon as we write some more, I'll update it here :) 3
