ABBIGAYLE O'REILLY

Abby parked her black chevy truck in the nearest parking spot she could find. She didnt want to be late. Well, actually she never wanted to be late. Always early. That way, she wouldnt miss anything.

She opened the door, and looked around. 'No sign of him' She laughed to herself, 'I guess speeding over here wasnt really needed' She didnt want to jinx it, but so far she really liked this guy. And she was hoping he liked her too. 'I guess we will just have to wait and see..'

She pulled her hair out of its ponytail. Quickly trying to make it look a little better. She pulled out her white coach purse ; knock off, ofcourse. And quicky put on some mascara and lip gloss. She was never really much of an eyeshadow person. She just liked her eyes to have a little mascara, or a little eye liner, and that was it. She put her purse back on the ground, grossed her legs, and waited at the small table for Mike.[/size][/color]

Mike drove in to the Cafe Bistro's parking lot with his gray Escalade's engine growling as the inched into a parking spot semi-close to the Bistro. Yeah, he had an expensive car. But it was a present. He just loved his big hunk of metal. He got it for his twenty-third birthday from his mother. Debbie and her son were really close.

Before he made it inside, he made sure Herman wouldn't do anything spontaneous while he was inside. He stored him in the back with a chew toy. Michael hopped out of the car and slammed the door. The sun was almost completely down now. Now it's just plain freezing out. Michael reached for the Bistro's main door and felt a warm wave rush onto him. The Cafe was toasty warm. It was cozy.

He spotted Abby at a small table that could seat two. She looked like she gussied up a bit. She let her hair down too. He had to admit, she did look pretty good looking. But he couldn't jump on her that fast, they just met! That would be a freaky move. Now he wouldn't want to scare away another pretty girl.

Mike makes his way over to the table and plops down onto the chair. " Hey, Abby. Sorry I am late.." he sighs, glaring at his watch. He wasn't that late, only by 2 minutes. "So, Abby.. he pauses awkwardly, "So you are new to Aura Valley? Where'd you come from?" That's all he could come up with right then. He got a little nervous. Beautiful girls tend to make him that way.

Cozy and warm.

Abby smiled as he sat down, fidgeting a little with her hands under the table. She tried hard to relax, and soon, somehow, was able too. Though, she wasn't quite sure how she had managed that.

Thats okay, she said laughing. 2 minutes isn't a big deal! And she meant that sincerely. Although she liked to be early, she really didn't mind if somebody was a little late. Thats life.

Well, i grew up in a small town, in Canada actually. On my parents farm, with my sister. How about you? Her eyes made contact with his, for a few seconds, as she waited his reply. 'Shit,' she thought to herself. 'I guess i said a little more than where i was from,. ahhh. it makes conversation though! Calm down!' She had never talked to herself before, and she decided that she didn't ever want to again. Not that much at least.
Nice car, by the way. A little nicer than mine She said pointing at her beat up Chevy, after he had told her his story about where he was from, and where he grew up. i love my truck though She looked around for a moment, wondering where you order. She had been here once, but wasn't sure if she ordered in the right place. Do you want something to drink? She asked, still trying to decide on what she wanted.

Mike watched as Abby got more relaxed. He still seemed kinda of stiff. He'll loosen up as the time goes by...He hopes.

"Oh, Canada?" he said curiously. "I've always wanted to visit there, and see the moose." he said smiling. Michael fidgeted with his coat sleeve. It was getting a little warm inside by the fire, so he unzipped his jacket and slid it onto the back of his chair. "I'm actually pretty new too. I'm from Baltimore, Maryland. I grew up there, it's a very nice place." he finished.

Mike glanced outside when Abby started mentioning things about their cars. "Haha, thanks. It was a birthday present. A pretty nice one." He paused, then said, "Well I still like yours. I had one just like that before that one out there. I kinda miss it.." He attempted to make her feel better. He didn't want her to see him as a rich snob. THat was just not cool. Michael adjusted his tush in his seat. It sure does fall asleep fast! Who knew?

"So for ordering. I could go get us something." Michael pointed to the counter with pastries in it, and some drinks. " My personal favorite is the hot chocolate. I'm not a big coffee person." Coffee made him twitchy. A twitchy guy is not always attractive.

Do i laugh too much?

Abby felt alot calmer as they kept talking. She noticed that Mike hadn't quite relaxed as much as she had, and you may be surprised, but that made her feel good. She hoped that he was nervous because he liked her.

She laughed when he mentioned the moose. Oh, if you go to Canada, you have to see a moose, defiantly She laughed, trying not to laugh too much. Laughing more at his joke, than her attempt at a funny comment after. She wasn't the most creative person when it came to jokes. But she had her moments.

Oh, a hot chocolate would be amazing. I had a huge coffee earlier. Which is probably what gave me the energy to go for a jog.. She smiled, crossing her legs under the table, making herself comfortable. Her eyes wandered around the room quickly. The last time she was here, she was the only person that was by herself. This time, she had somebody with her. It was great to have met somebody here. Especially Mike.

Michael waddled over to the counter, where the aroma of the treats were overwhelming. Cakes, doughnuts, ice cream, and even giant cookies were just sitting there, waiting for someone to grab them up. Of course, he grabs to giant cookies, and then goes to order the hot chocolates.

" Yo, may I take yo' order?" asked the cashier in a grumpy voice. It wasn't that late, maybe he's just grumpy because he dealt with grumpy customers himself. "Two hot chocolates, please. he replied in a cheerful tone. Smiles are contagious! Or so they should be. He watched as the grouchy cashier fixed up the hot beverages. Craig, as it said on his badge, put the hot chocolates in front of Mike. Mike handed him the money and stepped back over to the table.

"Here you go!" he said as he set the warm cup and cookie in front of Abby. Mike took one sip and a warm sensation rushed through his whole body. It felt good. "So when do you want to start swimming, and when can I start horseback riding?" he asked curiously. Mike couldn't wait to hop on one of those stunning animals. Well...A calm one anyway.

As Mike walked to the counter, Abby couldnt help but look at his but, only for a second though. She just wanted to see! It was human nature. And, it was a pretty good one. She laughed inside, at what she had just done. And then watched as he waited for the cashier to make thier hot chocolates. She noticed, that Mike had something in his hands. 'Hm.. i wonder what those are?' She thought to herself.

Thanks, Abby replied, taking a long slow sip. It warmed her up right away, she could feel it going down, warming her up as it went. She took a bite of her giant cookie. Mmm, these are so good! She said, taking another bite again, before having more of her hot chocolate. She stuck her finger into the whip cream on the top of her hot chocolate. One of the best parts! She said eating some. Whenever you want. Just call me, and you can come ride one of my horses She said, writing her number on a napkin, with a pen she had quickly grabbed from her purse. She passed him the napkin, and took another sip of her hot chocolate.

[Sardines ♥]

Mike giggled as Abby took the whipped cream with one finger and shoved it in her mouth. He liked girls that weren't finicky all the time! Hence the whipped cream on her nose. "It is the best part." There was probably a big glob of chocolate on his nose right about now. To take precautions, he wiped his whole mouth. And then repeated that motion. There was a big glob, as predicted. That was kind of embarrassing, but that was okay.

Mike took the napkin without hesitation. He studied the number for a moment, then pushed it into his pocket, making it nice and snug. "Cool beans. I'm sure I can get a date this week. I am pretty much free." he announced. Mike was ecstatic. He gets to ride horses with a beautiful girl. The thought was amazing. To him at least. He reached to grab his hot chocolate which was almost finished. He now had endless amounts of butterflies in his stomach.

OOC: sorry! I was so busy this week. I will get on when I can. =D

[creature]

OCC. No problem

Abby smiled, when she noticed the chocolate on his nose. She laughed quietly, and wipped her face with her napkin. She was glad Mike had a sence of humor. She had gone out with guys before who were nice, or sweet, but didnt have any sence of humour. It drove her nuts, everything just got so boring. Yes, she wanted a guy who was nice, but one that had a sence of humour too!

Abby paused, remembering she had told him he could ride on of her horses. She only had one now, after keeping her other back home at her parents farm because she couldnt afford two, at the moment. Lou definatly wasnt a 'beginners horse'. Abby would have to work her alot before they did this. ALOT. She didnt want to tell Mike this, and get him nervous. Insted, she just took another big sip of her hot chocolate, finishing it up. She quickly looked around for the time.

Wow, 7:00. I better get going.. She had forgotten how late she had gone for a jog today. She stood up, and waited for Mike before she mad another move, so she wouldnt emarasse herself by, kissing him when he wasnt ready, or not ready if he kissed her.[/size][/color]
