Tobias nodded, â€œAlways nice to have someone watching your back...â€ his voice trailed off, his mind wandering for a bit.<br/><br/><span style="color: #BF40FF"><span style="font-weight: bold">"Will you excuse me?" </span></span><br/><br/>Shaking himself from his thoughts he pushed up from the table as well, waiting for her to walk away before sitting back down. Ingrained manners from his childhood, his parents would be proud.<br/><br/>â€œSo, what is her story?â€ Samuele asked as he came over to chat while the pizza was finishing up.<br/><br/>â€œUm, well honestly I don't know. Just kind of met her,â€ he shrugged and smiled, â€œShe looked like she could do with a meal and I could do with some companyâ€ trying to play off how they met as something casual and nothing special.<br/><br/>Samuele smirked, though before he could say anything his wife returned with the drinks, â€œSammy, leave the boy and his date be. Get back to the oven and make sure that that you don't burn their pizzaâ€ she says shooing him away with a bump of her hip as she set the tray down on the table. Depositing the two cups of pepsi, then a pitcher of water with a couple of empty cups. â€œShe is a lovely girl, Toby. I am so happy for youâ€ she says brushing back his hair again, much to his embarrassment.<br/><br/>â€œAngela, please. She is just a friend, nothing moreâ€ Tobias persisted and was in the process of shooing her away, as politely as possible, when he heard the bathroom door open. At the sound of her approaching the table he once again pushed up from the table. A welcoming smile already on his face though it shifted when he actually caught sight of her. It was a mild look of shock, as seeing her had caught him rather off guard. Perhaps, it was the fact he had never taken any real thought onto how she looked up her scarf. Like none at all, so just suddenly seeing her was, a bit of a shock.<br/><br/>In the background Samuele and Angela were murmuring in approval, their voices being what finally snapped Tobias from his daze. The smile going back to being friendly, well mostly friendly, he could not help the appreciative gleam that was now in his eyes.<br/><br/>Before he could think of what to say, much to his relief, Samuele brought them a medium cheese pizza and couple plates.<br/><br/>â€œAlright, careful its hotâ€ he said, giving Tobias a wink which had him blushing deeply.<br/><br/>Clearing his throat to cover up the sudden flushing of his face he went about dishing her a piece and then himself.<br/><br/>â€œI will warn you now, like when he says hot, he means it. I always end up burning the roof of my mouth though because I don't listen...â€ he joked about himself as he took a cautious bite and did his best not look like a complete fool while he chewed the very hot piece.
