As Robert heard Mariska's answer his eyes narrowed and his jaw clenched. So what is she playing at then? His attention was completely gone from Cayden as Robert stared at Mariska in shock and frustration. He barely registered the brief contact that Cayden made with Mariska and a few of his words, namely Cayden calling him her boyfriend. As the boy left he just sat looking at Mariska, "I see." He stood up, not breaking his gaze from her, "If you wanted to hang out with him so much why didn't you just say so. I would have just backed off. Could have fooled me with the way you went out with me and everything...but I guess that I should have expected that from you." The fact that he wasn't yelling surprised him the most as how much anger was coursing through him. Without another word and without even still clarifying the status of where they stood with each other he walked back over toward Elizabeth and sat down next to her again with a sigh. "Can you teach me about musicals and stuff tonight?" He asked, picking up the conversation from where it had ended.
