Her eyes looking over him playfully, she laughed. Really?!?! So you don't have a problem with rabit food? She asked increduously. Never before had she been out on a date with a guy that had wanted a salad as well, most guys always mumbled something about females and their "rabbit food". Giggling, she covered her mouth, hiding her laughter that threatened to fill the room. It was a beautiful laugh, and she made a cute picture trying to contain it.

jake's eyebrows raised,
laughing gently. "rabbit
food? no." he smirked.
his grin widened as novalle
tried to keep her laughter
in. "well aren't you cute
when you do that." he
laughed, reaching across
the table to kiss her.

Her laughter subsided as she kissed him back. Well, that's gotta be a first. She teased, rolling her eyes as she smiled at him. She glanced around the restraunt, no one she knew, yet. No one should get word back to Colt, especially before midnight. Then again, gossip spread like wildfire in such a small town, oh well, time would tell. She looked back at Jake, smiling softly. So, tell me something about yourself, Mr. Jake. She asked, the teasing smile never leaving her face.

jake sighed. "i
don't know. i've had a
pretty normal life
compared to all the
other people who
live in this town."
he shrugged.
"although i've
been beaten up by
a lot of girl's brother's
before." he grinned.

Novalle laughed, rolling her eyes. How many times had Colt beat up a guy she had been interested in? 17? 18? Somewhere along in there. She had learned to just date around him, not telling him who she liked or who liked her. It was a childish way to live, but it was the only way. It was either that or not date at all. Who could blame her for the choice she took? Besides, none of the guys she dated would go out with her unless they knew Colt was out of town or at least working late. She was used to it, for it was simple. Guys were scared of her brother, none of them loved her enough to tell him to shut up. I guess that's just the way life goes, huh? She smirked, wondering if he would chicken out before the evening was over. He had guts, and she admired that, it showed that he was at least a man and had some sort of pride, unlike the undignified jerks she'd dated in the past. The only other guy that hadn't backed down from Colt was Tex, but he had left Novalle eventually to save his friendship with her brother. She had hated him for choosing Colt over her, but she had gotten over it, remembering that he had promised to marry her so long ago. That promise had been broken as well, as Tex was naturally like a wild stallion. Novalle had told him eight years ago that she didn't want to be the woman that broke his spirit, and, for that, she had never really dated him until she was sixteen, that was after his heart had been broken the first time. He wasn't truly broken though and he eventually left her, again, so she silently gave up on him, never voicing her opinions about his reckless behavior. It was only a matter of time before he got himself in trouble, or ended up marrying a female with a baby in her arms. That time had come and it had upset Novalle at first, but she soon realized that she didn't want to be tied to a guy simply because of what his father had done to her. It's not like no man hadn't wanted her since, she could get married if she tried. She simply hadn't tried much.

jake smiled toward her.
"you know what? i'm
coming over to your house
tonight if your brother's
home, and i'm going to
get to know him. i don't
care what he does to me.
you're worth it." he
smiled, wrapping his hand
around hers.

She glanced down at his hand, then looked up at him through her thick eyelashes. How long had it been since anyone had said those words? 3 years? 4? She couldn't even remember. She smiled at him softly, it was almost sad. Jake...you don't have to do that. She said, her voice the same as her smile. She stared down at his hand for a moment. Did he even realize how much more intimate holding hands were? Kissing was one thing, even making out didn't require anything else than a physical attraction, but holding hands was different, it showed that you actually liked a person for something a bit deeper than the surface. She'd never been close to anyone like that before, she'd never expierenced anything that wasn't a complete physical attraction.

jake shook his head as
if her disagreement was
absurd. "of course i do.
i want to know your family,
novalle." he smiled,
gently squeezing her hand.
of course he realized holding
hands was more intimate
than kissing. he could go
either way, but he was
finding that he liked novalle
better than most girls. and
that was unusual for jake.

Novalle smiled at him softly, squeezing his hand in turn. Had she actually thought he was just a cute jerk an hour ago? Since when had the "great kisser" that was all over her outside become "prince charming"? She didn't know. She couldn't piece it all together. Was she actually starting to care for him? And if so, why? Was it the suddenly sweet talk he had engaged her in? Or maybe the simple act of holding her hand, something that no boy had done since grade school? That's sweet of you. [/b[ She said, staring at him for a second before looking away.

jake smiled toward novalle.
"i know." he grinned.
he slid out of his side of the
booth, sliding into her's. he
wrapped an arm around her,
now serious. his brown eyes
pierced into hers, almost
amber. "novalle, i know it's
hard to believe, but i have this
gut feeling that i...i love you."
he smiled. "just don't tell
colt." he laughed.

She smiled softly, laying her head against his chest, her ebonite hair sliding like silk behind her. She sighed softly, as she reached her delicate hand up to bring his face closer to hers. She kissed him softly, and it was nothing like it had been before. Instead of the simple attraction it was now complicated with emotions that had been gone so long that Novalle had began to think they were no longer there. When she pulled away, she smiled again, but, just like the kiss, it wasn't the same as it had been before. Don't worry, your secrets safe with me. She whispered, wrapping her arms around his neck and holding on to him as if he were a life preserver, which, in a way, he might be.

jake grinned as she
pulled away. wow.
maybe they would
be known as the
'great kissing couple'.
ha. wouldn't that
be funny? "it better
be." he grinned.
the waitress returned
with their food but
jake ignored it. he
smiled toward novalle,
holding her close. "you
want to get some more
food and bring it home
to your brother? then i
could meet him." he
smiled. well, if you're
going to be killed, might
as well have your last
memory be amazing.

She smiled. Then glanced at him out of mock suspicion. How did you know that his greatest weakness is food? She asked, giggling softly. It was a good plan Colt wouldn't have ate because he was too bad a cook to cook for himself, and, since Novalle wasn't there to cook for him he would probably be starving. Distract him with food, that's the idea. She laughed again, kissing Jake.

jake smiled, leaning in
to the kiss. the waitress
tapped him on the shoulder.
he pulled away, looking
at her. "yes?" he
said, more polite than he
had been the last time his
kiss with novalle had been
interrupted. "i heard you
say something about getting
more food?" the waitress
smiled. "yes, i'll have 42
extra large pizzas for her
brother." he grinned.
the waitress's eyebrows
raised, eyes widening.
jake laughed. "just
joking." jake grinned,
smirking. "just one
extra large cheese pizza."
he grinned. the waitress
marked out his previous
order, before disappearing to
the kitchen, returning within
minutes with the pizza. jake
paid. "okay, novalle. let's
go meet your brother." he
smiled, opening the door for
her before heading to the truck.

Novalle laughed as she got up and walked out the door with him. You better be glad that waitress wasn't old, otherwise we might be going to the hospital on account of her heart failure. She giggled, before sliding into the truck, waiting for Jake to get in as well.
