Arthur looked at her with a smile. He continued eating. He chewed his food slowly. He was almost done with his food. It was a really good meal. He really liked Ashley and would do anything he could to protect her. That part of him who always felt the need to stick up for the under dog would jump through hoops to keep his new found friend and date at his side. He looked at her with a smile. Wondering what she was thinking about. It must be something that had her lost deep in thought. Though when she spoke his cheeks flushed. "I'm glad you think so." He rubbed the back of his head. "I don't really go on dates. Most women want in my pants to say they slept with a famous author. Nobody has really ever wanted to get to know me. The real me not the author." He said softly. "I am actually very shy but I feel very comfortable around you." He said iwth a smile. Flushing more when she said he was a charmer and out going. "I'm only outgoing to people I trust with every fiber of my being." He said truthfully. Rubbing his arm then resumed eating. "How is your dinner?" He asked. They both seemed to be winding up on their dinner. "Would you like to get dessert?" He asked curiously. Still flushed a bit. Was he a charmer? He was just being genuine and asking her to continue the date with him. He really didn't understand where she was coming from. He smiled at her. "If not lets go to the park. I'll pay up front. It won't take that long."
