I...I like you Lyra and...I think well thought you might like me as well.." She had kissed him back after all, surely that was a sign. Reaching into the bowl he pulled out a grape and ran it in between two fingers trying to find his words. He was at a loss for words now too? He looked at her and smiled, "I've gotten used to having you close by. Every where I turned you seemed to be there and in a way...when we don't see each other during a day it just isn't the same. You're lively and mischievous and...." He realized he was babbling and turned red and ran his hand through his hair again, "Well...I was wondering if you would like to go out with me...like more then friends..." A step forward or just a side trip...he still had yet to see but he knew he couldn't keep things up the way they had been.
Wow! This was...shocking, surprising and to her, she enjoyed being around Robert. Lyra had not been around anyone this close since...Christian but it was nice, filling in the emptiness that had taken over. He was right, they seemed to click, helping each other with problems not only in personal life but school as well. She pressed her lips together as rosy cheeks began to bloom in color on her cheeks. NO ONE made her blush, at least the numbers were low...like ONE and ONE only.
"Yes," she grinned from ear to ear answering his question. It meant that they could share more than just homework, she would have someone to talk too, someone to express feelings towards than just that female bonding. "I like you as well," she began, pushing her hair behind her ears. "If I didn't I wouldn't follow you or search for you like I have." Now she was at a loss for words, but give her a few minutes, that would all change.
