Other plans? Ella tilted her head and eyed Alec curiously, wondering why he asked. Was he worried that she'd rather be somewhere else? Grabbing his hand, the blonde laced their fingers and shook her head. "Of course not. I wanted to spend today with you." Grin. "Can I tell you a secret?" And she stood on her tippy toes so that she could whisper in his ear. "You're sort of my favorite, y'know." But he shouldn't go around telling everyone. She didn't want to make the others feel bad.

The hair ruffling brought a small smile to Ella's face and she was itching to reach out and ruffle it too. His hair was just really lovely, Alec's was. Oh, and now she'd been caught. Caught staring at him with that goofy smile on her face. Well that was embarrassing. The sixteen year old's cheeks flushed and she nodded. "Me? Oh I'm um...good. Great, even. Why do you ask?"

"It was awful." The distance thing. Why couldn't they live closer? Every time Ella had complained about it her Gran had went on about how absence makes the heart grow fonder but Ella's heart was pretty fond as it was. No need for the separation bit. Anyway...on to happier things, yeah? "You will?" Something about seeing her Granddad's watch on Alec made Ella feel really really happy. And at home. That too. The blonde smiled at their hands again as he squeezed back, stifling the urge to get up and kiss him. ...Causeshereallywantedtodothat.

Put it on? Ella nodded and played with the necklace she already had on, unclasping it and placing it carefully on the table. "Yes please." And something about hearing him say those words made Ella's stomach fill with butterflies. Yup. They were flying all over the place in there.

Food. Hm. "Let's do something else this time." Grin. "How about...something pie-ish?" And could they have tea too? Tea sounded nice.


There was a lot of smiling and laughing going on. Which wasn't bad, actually. Nope! It sort of helped the sixteen year old brush off whatever his Divination tea leaves had been telling him. And he wasn't even thinking about that! Nope... to him, it was just them here right now. Which was more than okay.

...

The hand grabbing and the lacing fingers thing? That was really nice. "I'm really glad!" Especially since she could have been doing anything else but she had decided to spend the day with him. ... And then it got worse. With the leaning up and the whispering and just in the general way in which she was really close to him. Like really close. "Yeah? Your favourite? That's a big title, you know," he whispered back, "And you're my favourite too!" Just saying.

Yeah, you were caught in the act, Miss Ella Bishop. And it wasn't as if Alec minded her... looking at him? Or, well, whatever it was, Alec still didn't mind. Especially because of her reaction afterwards. "Yeah? It's good that you're great!" Really. And why did he ask? "Oh, well... your cheeks are sort of... flushed." And yeah, this fact made him grin.

Awful was a good way to describe it, actually. A very good way. "Agreed!" he said, nodding at her, "But maybe... maybe this'll help?" He hoped so because squishing his puppy!toy -- the very same one she had given him for Christmas -- didn't seem to help. Not as much as he'd hoped. ... "Of course! It's a really awesome watch and it means a lot to you so..." He really couldn't find any reason not to wear it. Nope. And she was doing that smiling thing too which was actually very contagious.

At the blonde girl's nod and words, Alec got up and stepped around the table towards her. Smiling, he took a hold of the necklace and bent down slightly until his face was almost level with hers. Erm... "Your hair," BLINK. "I mean... it's nice, really! Yeah... I just... need to..." And he held up the necklace as a sort of way of explaining. ... Way to ruin the romantic mood, Summers.

Something else? Something different? PIE?! "Pie-ish sounds great!" he said, scanning the list, "What about..." Scan... scan... scan... "Rhubarb pie? Or apple pie?" Unless she wanted, say, a pudding of some sort?
