I could never do what the two of them do however. I think they know that, which is why they support me as they do."<br><br>Mel removed her arm from the door rest as she shifted in her seat, turning more to face Theo as she spoke, which of course inadvertently hiked her dress up slightly thought it was something she paid no attention to, she was still mostly covered, but she did manage to reveal a bit more skin resting her arm now on the back of the seat she bent her elbow and leaned her head against her hand slightly.<br><br>"Long as you were gentle I don't see any reason I'd have an issue with a blindfold, I believe quite strongly that I can trust you."<br><br>She lightly traced her fingers through her hair as she watched Theo, glancing out the back window at the view occasionally, mostly to make sure she didn't make Theo nervous, get him believing she was just staring at him, as if testing him to see what he would do. That of course was not her intention at all. He was a handsome man so of course she enjoyed the view, but even beyond that, on a professional level, watching his shoulders rotate, his posture, the way his head moved as he tried to keep his eyes focused on something his mind wasn't that interested in.<br><br>"Out of town? There's so much it could be out of town. You're not going to do horribly nasty things to me and leave me for dead out here I hope." Mel teased softly as she leaned forward, pressing her lips lightly to Theo's cheek before she kissed him before softly whispering against his ear."<acronym title="I can't wait.">Je ne peux pas attendre</acronym>"<br><br>As she leaned back to a sitting up position she smiled, a slight twinkle to her eyes as she continued to speak "So what's your secret? What drew you to antiquities? I know you said it was a hobby of yours, but I'm rather curious as to where it began."

				<div class="floatleft">(http://i1240.photobucket.com/albums/gg481/indytims/theo2_zps942a360c.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong> <strong>Theodore 'Theo' Munn</strong><br><strong>Species/Element:</strong> Werebear<br><strong>Wearing:</strong> Black button-up long-sleeved collared shirt, black pants and belt. Black shoes/socks. Dk Gray/White pen-striped jacket. (Same as picture)<br><strong>Time:</strong> 6:15 pmish, August 1st<br><strong>Location:</strong> On I-15 to Great Falls, less than an hour away<br><strong>Tag:</strong> Mellisa<br><hr><br><br>Theo listened to her talk about mom, and how Mel herself had taken a middle ground between her parents, and how she had their support. "That's great, to have the support of your folks in what you do," he nodded. "Doctor and lawyer - that's some power-couple," he said with a smile. "Let me guess - you're an only child, as well? Spoiled rotten? Daddy AND mommy's little girl?" he smiled playfully at her, glancing sideways from time to time as he did his best to keep his eyes on the road while still taking occasional glances at her.<br><br>She turned in her seat to face him more, which allowed him a slight glimpse of her of her thigh - which he definitely appreciated. Either she didn't know it, or she didn't care, and who was he to complain?<br><br>She confessed a trust in him, and he let out a low, long groan - and shook his head. "You should -never- trust men who have a deep infatuation for you, and want to get to know you very well," he said, his playful smile only widening more as he cast another quick glance in her direction. "Honestly, I don't know if I would even trust -myself- with someone so breath-taking," he added, and though he was being playful, there was quite a bit of truth to it, whether she realized it or not. If he found himself having her at a disadvantage, could he trust himself to do the right thing, he wondered? He liked to think that he could, no matter how tempting it might be to do otherwise.<br><br>And the thought of blindfolding her... sent shivers up his spine.<br><br>He chuckled as she questioned him gently about their current path of travel. "Yep, out of town. Great Falls, to be precise. You ever get out of Angel Creek that often?" he asked. He made occasional trips to Great Falls, himself, to shop for more items for his own store. He rarely found much of note but every now and then he found something interested to drag back to his own shelves.<br><br>"And no, I have nothing -terrible- planned for you, and I would never leave you for dead anywhere. That would be silly of me, when there are so many more interesting reasons to keep you in my company," he said, casting a smile and a wink her way. Then she leaned to him and kissed him on the cheek, then whispered something in French, and he no longer had the trusty aid of an internet site to translate for him. He glanced at her again, eyes narrowed, curious what she said, but he didn't push it. He did, however, enjoy the tingle that ran down his spine at her words, the way she said them, the sound of the accent heavy on each word. He shivered visibly and blushed very slightly - he was sure she would understand why.<br><br>"My passion for books and antiques began when I was really young," he answered. "I love history, and both books and antiques are sortta like... bookmarks in history. They're made, or written, at a certain period of time, and often can be thought of as a 'snapshot' of the time they were made in. Life changes so rapidly in so many ways, with technology and the pace at which societies advance. Some of those old books and 'junk' are simply reminders of the way things -were-. They can help remind us of where we came from," he said. <br><br>"I know... pretty boring stuff," he said with a grin. "But it pays the bills."<br><br>Traffic was normal for this time of evening, both coming and going as they reached a stretch of road that was more flat and open. By this time Theo could see that they were making really good time. He glanced at her as he spoke, in fact glanced in her direction as much as he could while also driving safely. He was tempted more than once to reach for her hand, but thought it might be a bit presumptuous on his part just yet.<br><br>

So I suppose in a way I am just that."<br><br>Mel smiled as he spoke of her not trusting someone who was so infatuated with her, once more turning her head to the back of the truck she allowed her fingers to lightly fall over her lips as she worked to hold back a laugh. She was quite open about how he'd felt about her, and she liked that. Honesty was something she valued a great deal, as he finished she turned her attention back to him he asked then if she had gone out of Angel Creek that often, as he mentioned that she was to good of company to leave for dead she smiled, lightly brushing a few strands of hair from her cheek as she watched a hint of color appear on his cheeks after she kissed him.<br><br>"Wouldn't the ones who were infatuated be the ones I should trust? After all, if they liked me that much, wouldn't they want to keep me around longer?" She smiled, softly before answering his question. "I'm afraid I've only been a few times, though my mother does work there. I just haven't found the time to make many trips that direction."<br><br>She responded to his question then sat tranquilly as she listened as Theo explained why he had chosen to work with antiqueties. Mel was quite drawn by Theo, so his passion for what he did intrigued her, unlike many who might pretend to care only long enough to get what they wanted and walk away. Mel planned on sticking around in Theo's life for a rather long time, as long as he'd have her in fact so she truly did want to get to know him.<br><br>"I don't find it boring at all, in fact I find your dedication to it quite pleasant. It seems there aren't many people these days who do what they enjoy. The fact that you do is good inspiration for the younger generations."<br><br>Mel wasn't really concerned with the road, the other cars, or how close or far they might be to Great Falls, she hadn't gone there enough times that she would even know how far along they were, but she was interested in Theo, and she did trust him to know where he was going, if he did actually get to lost there were of course signs and she really wouldn't mind sitting on a back road with him for a while, while he got his bearings, she was far to busy enjoying his company<br><br>A smile crossed Mel's face one of the times Theo had glanced over at her, the thought of moving closer to him crossing her mind. Perhaps even slipping from her seat belt to be closer still. The wish to put her hands on him there more than ever, massage his broad shoulders, while she continued to lose herself in his beautiful blue eyes.<br><br>"I myself was never very good at history, not my best subject. Not a real surprise I'm sure that I was really best at science. I preferred a more hands on type approach to things. That and I secretly always wanted to try to blow up the school." Mel said with a bit of a light hearted laugh before allowing her hand to fall to the seat of the cab, as she began tracing the back of her fingers lightly against the back of Theo's shoulder, not enough to really distract him, but enough that he would notice.

Black shoes/socks. Dk Gray/White pen-striped jacket. (Same as picture)<br><strong>Time:</strong> 6:15 pmish, August 1st<br><strong>Location:</strong> On I-15 to Great Falls, less than an hour away<br><strong>Tag:</strong> Mellisa<br><hr><br><br>"An older brother? Was he the kind to protect his cute little sister on the playground? Or was six years too much of a gap that prevented you guys from being very close?" he asked, genuinely curious. "I do not have any brothers or sisters, myself, though I kinda always wished I did. Then again, friends of mine who had a brother or sister - or more than one - always told me that I was lucky, but guess I will never know," he chuckled as he turned into the passing lane to go by slower traffic.<br><br>"Good point... trusting the one who are infatuated with you. BUT," he said, holding up a finger for a moment, "The infatuated ones are also the ones more likely to tell you what you want to hear, just so they can get in good with you," he said, his voice issuing a soft warning tone. "Then once they have your trust - the trap springs closed." He laughed softly at that. "So maybe I am just waiting for that perfect opportunity to spring the trap closed, hmm?" he said, his voice full of mischief.<br><br>The fact she didn't find him boring definitely boosted his feeling of how things were going so far. His job wasn't -terribly- exciting, but he did love it, that much was genuine. "Most young people think the past is 'boring', as youth is usually caught up only in the here and now. I don't blame them - I was like that at one point, I suppose. But then eventually you come across things that you might not want to forget, so you hang onto bits and pieces of the past. That's what I do," he said with a smile.<br><br>"Ahhhh, the mad-scientist at school. I can just picture you now, in your white lab-coat and big plastic goggles," he laughed. "We would have made -great- study partners, you and I. You covering science and subjects like that, me covering history and similar. We could easily have had each other's backs," he said with a hint of suggestive tone to his voice, at the same time his right hand reached down to pat her hand resting on seat. His hand was larger, of course, big and strong, and covered her hand almost completely. It lingered there for a long moment, as if he were not-so-subtly testing the waters.

With the activities I was in, in school I was able to take care of myself for the most part, but I do honestly believe he put the fear into people."<br><br>Mel smiled as she listened to Theo speak, nodding slowly as she took in his words. As he spoke of possibly being one of the guys to spring a trap on her she couldn't help but laugh, playfully of course. She wasn't sure she could believe he was a sexual predator, or any other type for that matter. He was quite the gentlemen, and sweet. Which of course only caused her to like him all the more.<br><br>"You make a very good point, but how can you be so sure I'm not instead louring you into a trap? What if this was all part of a perfectly laid out plan?"<br><br>Mel smiled a bit more as she continued to trace her fingers along the back of Theo's shoulder. The more time she spent with him the more she was enjoying him. He was laid back, and had a sense of humor. He seemed to be able to separate the seriousness of life, that allowed him to be more flexible. Which meant she could have her cake and eat it to. She could most defiantly begin a relationship with him, without having to get rid of her job. Of course she would want to discuss all of that with him before they took that step, but it was something she thought about. She listened as he spoke of the younger generation not caring for history. She believed that to be an issue as well, then she laughed as he mentioned the mad scientist.<br><br>"You forgot the big ugly gloves." she said with a hint of her laugh mixed in, only heightening her accent a bit more. As Theo placed his hand on hers she closed her eyes for a moment. She couldn't seem to keep her hands off him, and yet he refrained from touching her until now, that of course pushed her further from being truly concerned he was just after one thing. Yes he'd shown interest in her since they met. More so than even she had seen, but he had a great deal of self control, again more than she even realized. As she opened her eyes she lightly traced her fingertips up the side of his neck, while the fingers of her other hand lightly brushed along his palm, enough to assure him she knew his hand was there, but not enough as to tell him to move it.

Black shoes/socks. Dk Gray/White pen-striped jacket. (Same as picture)<br><strong>Time:</strong> 6:35 pmish, August 1st<br><strong>Location:</strong> On I-15 to Great Falls, less than an hour away<br><strong>Tag:</strong> Mellisa<br><hr><br><br>Theo smiled widely when she described being tough, taking care of herself, though the presence of her older brother might also have had something to do with it. Theo didn't have that kind of relationship with anyone growing up, and he remembered school being pretty tough sometimes. It was often -him- doing the protecting, smaller, weaker friends who were picked-on and hazed regularly became his 'little brothers'... but that was such a long time ago.<br><br>"Did you ever wear pig-tails?" he asked, glancing over at her, picturing her with a pair of pig-tails, one on either side of her head. "I bet you were freakin' adorable," he teased, smiling and laughing lightly. He wasn't sure what she would have been like when she was much younger, but his thoughts of Melissa in high-school were pretty easy. She was likely in the 'popular' crowd, and likely had countless boys in the school following her like lost puppies. That was probably where she learned the effect her body had on the opposite sex.. just like it was having an effect on him right now.<br><br>He felt her hand on his shoulder, and then her other hand beneath his brushed his palm lightly, as if welcoming the light touch. The shivers continued, and he swore every hair on his neck and back was standing on end. Her touch was so gentle, so light, but it didn't tickle at all as he thought it might. No, she was an -expert- at touch, he reminded himself, her occupation being one of providing comfort with her hands, so it shouldn't surprise him that her lightest touch could have such an effect. He tried his best to reciprocate against the soft, smooth skin of her hand with his own. His were bigger, stronger, and definitely not as nimble or graceful. That didn't stop him from trying, though, as his fingertips lightly caressed the inside of her palm, as well.<br><br>"Yeah, the big gloves, too, just to be safe," he said, smiling as he glanced at her again. Was she moving closer to him, or did he imagine it?<br><br>Part of him was disappointed when he saw the city-limits sign up ahead for Great Falls. But that quickly faded: they were almost there, and his heart began to beat faster. He -really- hoped she would like this, because Theo knew how important first impressions were.

They didn't tug at my head so uncomfortably that way. I honestly never got into them, but my mother simply adored them. So I did it for her. I honestly always preferred my hair flow freely. Do you like pig tails Theo?"<br><br>The question could appear as a bit of a mockery, but her tone was quite serious. If he did like them she'd wear them once in a while. Wearing them for him would be far more gratifying than wearing them for her mother, as they neared city limits she glanced towards Great Falls, she had been waiting since mid afternoon to see what it was that Theo had planned, and though she enjoyed the ride, and their talk, there would be plenty of that when the evening was over, right now she was just curious as to what he had planned.<br><br>"Should I close my eyes?" She asked with a soft smile, her fingertips now lightly running up along the back of his ear as she watched him.

Black shoes/socks. Dk Gray/White pen-striped jacket. (Same as picture)<br><strong>Time:</strong> 6:52 pmish, August 1st<br><strong>Location:</strong> On I-15 to Great Falls, city limits<br><strong>Tag:</strong> Mellisa<br><hr><br><br>Theo noticed that she had inched closer... which was perfectly fine with him. Her fingers on his skin were so... tantalizing. He couldn't help but wonder what those skilled hands and fingers could do to him, and he definitely didn't want to have to wait for his massage appointment to find out. But, he kept his hopes in check, simply hoping for the evening to go by without making himself look like a fool.<br><br>"Well, pig-tails can be cute, even on grown-ups," he chuckled. "Well, at least on the ladies of course. It gives the suggestion of 'innocence', though, in your case....," he turned his head slightly, looking at her with a mischievous glance from the corners of his eyes. But his smile remained. "I bet your mother appreciated it, and it was sweet of you to indulge her," he said.<br><br>When she offered to close her eyes, he laughed solidly for a moment. "No, no that won't be necessary," he said, completely mirthful at the idea she suggested. "But I noticed that's the second time you've suggested being blind-folded... I am starting to sense it is something you rather enjoy," he teased. They were close to their destination now, and her touch against his body was relaxing him and making him feel bolder than usual. He was also quite grateful that his truck had an automatic transmission - it allowed his hand to lightly, slowly caress hers without interruption, even as he slowed his vehicle down upon entering the city limits.<br><br>He turned off the proper exit, towards downtown Great Falls. It wasn't huge by any means, the city having a population of only about 58,950 according to the city limits sign they passed moments ago. But it was a big enough town for Theo's needs.<br><br>Downtown, he drove slower, of course, though he was fairly familiar with the layout. He found a parking space on the main street, thankful that meters weren't used past 6pm, so they could park for free and not have to worry about how long they were here.<br><br>Theo turned off the truck and gave Melissa's hand a gentle squeeze. "I'll get the door for you," he offered, then got out and dashed around to the other side to open the passenger door. It was something he had always done, having learned log ago how to treat a lady. It wasn't just a 'courting ritual' he did to impress her or anyone else. He offered her his hand to assist her out of the vehicle, then shut the door and locked it.<br><br>"It's just down the street here a short ways," he said. He had never been to this particular place, but according to Mapquest, they were less than a block away. <br><br><em>~Please let Mapquest be right...~ </em>he thought to himself. He'd feel like a total ass if he was wrong and got them lost.<br><br>Theo walked at a pace comfortable for her, despite his longer gait. He walked close to her, unsure if he should try to hold her hand or... or what. If she kept her hand in his after he helped her out of the truck, he'd hold onto it of course, but if she didn't, he'd still walk closely enough that she could easily hook her arm in his if she wished.<br><br>After a brief walk, their destination was at hand.<br><br>It became quickly evident where they were going, for the old-style wooden sign hung above the door so that it was visible to patrons walking down the sidewalk from either direction. On a worn wooden facing of dark green paint stood the bold lettering, <em>"Goût de Lyon"</em>, and written below it in smaller, stylized letters were the English words, <em>"Authentic French Cuisine"</em>.<br><br>Theo reached for the door first, opening it for her with a smile, silently relieved that they had made it directly to their destination without getting lost. Who says men need to ask for directions?

When he made his comment about her enjoying being blindfolded she looked down at his hand that was over hers, blushing ever so softly as she spoke.<br><br>"I do enjoy the bit of mystery blindfolds bring to a moment. They can be quite romantic really."<br><br>As the truck stopped she watched as Theo slid from her reach as he got out of the vehicle. Closing her eyes she drew in a deep breath and undid her seat belt, opening her eyes only as he opened her door. Softly she placed a hand in his as he helped her out of his truck, before running a hand over her dress to smooth it out as it had ridden up slightly while she stepped onto the sidewalk. Mel didn't release Theo's hand, at least not at first. Waiting as he closed and locked the door she glanced around. She didn't recall being in this area of town before. <br><br>Great Falls wasn't a large place, but she didn't go to many areas in it, not really anyway. As the turned and started for the restaurant Mel smiled, her hand of course shifted in his so they could walk more comfortably as she wrapped her second hand around his arm. The sensation of being that close to him gave her a desire to kiss him, but unwarranted she fought the urge. After all she would get to soon enough. Her eyes lit up as they approached their destination, a French restaurant.<br><br>"<acronym title="Absolutely perfect">absolument parfait</acronym>" She said as he opened the door for her. "Merci monsieur" she didn't go far in the door however, as she looked around and waited for Theo to join her. As he stepped into the door she once more wrapped her arm around his before leaning into him and whispering softly into his ear. "I love it, thank you." Before pulling back from him she softly kissed his ear then turned her attention to the person who was seating people. She had assumed that Theo had made reservations for them, but before they were seated she did have a request.<br><br>"<acronym title="A French restaurant isn't quite the same without being waited on by one who at least speaks the language. So if you could arrange that, I'd be quite grateful.">Un restaurant français n'est pas tout à fait la même sans être attendu par celui qui parle au moins la langue. Donc, si vous pouviez arranger ça, je serais tout à fait heureux.</acronym>"<br><br>She assumed one of two things would happen, either he would understand her words and fulfill her request, or he wouldn't, which would only make him more eager to follow through with it. She wasn't to worried how he took it however as she laid her head gently on Theo's shoulder. It really was perfect, so far all of it was absolutely perfect, and she had a feeling things would only continue to get better.

Black shoes/socks. Dk Gray/White pen-striped jacket. (Same as picture)<br><strong>Time:</strong> 7:00 pmish, August 1st<br><strong>Location:</strong> Goût de Lyon Restaurant<br><strong>Tag:</strong> Mellisa<br><hr><br><br>Theo walked in after her, and hearing the hint of joy in her voice... that alone made the trip worth it. He didn't know of any -real- French restaurants in Angel Creek, and this was the nearest, so he had decided to take a chance. Besides, the reviews for the place were fantastic, and unless those reviews were somehow faked, then he felt it was unlikely that things could go wrong. <br><br>The place was fairly small and quite cozy. It had that low-light level found in most romantic restaurants, with candles lit at each and every table. There were a few tables occupied, but not many - so the atmosphere was quiet and relaxed. Soft, romantic music played over the in-house speakers, just loud enough to be heard clearly, but soft enough not to be annoying or hard to talk over.<br><br>The host was a portly gentleman who approached them with a broad smile. He had shorted, spiky hair and wore a maroon long-sleeved shirt and tie, along with black slacks and dress shoes. <br><br>"Greetings, and welcome to Goût de Lyon, dame et monsieur," he said in a very cheery voice and an obvious French accent. This made Theo smile - he had *hoped* that the staff here, at least some of them, would be able to speak actual French. He thought that might also tickle Melissa as well, since Theo himself didn't know many people at all who spoke the language fluently. Actually, he knew only one: her. "Do you have a reservation with us tonight?" he asked.<br><br>Theo nodded, "Yes, Theo, for 7:15. We're a bit early, though. Sorry about that," he said.<br><br>The man shook his head, smiling, "No no no, no problem. Perhaps we shall wait for the crowd to die down first, yes?" he said with obvious playfulness, glancing about the main room which was mostly empty.<br><br>Then, Melissa spoke, in her own tongue, and the man's eyes lit up like a Christmas tree!<br><br>"Ma dame! Évidemment je parle le français! Je suis de Lyon enfin, ayant seulement vécu en Amérique depuis environ deux ans! Je suis excité pour parler à un compatriote, ou au moins à quelqu'un qui est très coulant! Merci et Bienvenu!" he said, rather excitedly.<br><br>Theo himself, of course, was absolutely -clueless- about the cuisine or the language, and so when she and the host broke out into rapid French, Theo just smiled, pretending to 'follow along' even though he hadn't the foggiest idea what they were saying. He loved just listening to them speak - but especially Melissa. There was the faintest hint of a purr in her voice, and again he quietly wondered to himself what she might sound like early in the morning after a long night of passion. The trip here was really for -her-, though, and in his eyes we was simply company for her, to see that she was afforded every chance to be -happy- and enjoy herself.<br><br>"Please, right this way! I have a special place just for the two of you!" he said, as he began to lead them to their table. It was a great spot, near two windows that looked out onto a small, well-manicured courtyard, obviously man-made to provide a thematic view for patrons looking out the windows on this side of the building. Most noticeable, of course, was the miniature version of the Eiffel Tower in the middle of the courtyard, made of black metal bars, standing close to twenty feet tall. Lots of small French flags flew from the corners and atop it, as well, one of the most recognizable landmarks from France that most Americans might know.<br><br>"I will be your waiter personally," the man said, and the way he said it seemed to indicate that he normally was not a waiter. He provided two menus plus a wine list for them, and then asked, "Is there something I can get you to drink, to start? Is this a special occasion, or just two young sweethearts setting out to try something new?"<br><br>Theo looked to Melissa, politely allowing the lady to go first.<br>

As they followed the man Mel couldn't stop looking at Theo. "Merci" she said softly as her chair was pulled out for her and she sat down, Theo sitting in the chair across from her she politely took the menu and looked at Theo before turning her attention to the waiter.<br><br>"<acronym title="We live in Angel Creek, and we met only a few hours ago actually. It would seem the beauty of our home has captured yet another heart.">Nous vivons dans Angel Creek, et nous nous sommes rencontrés il ya seulement quelques heures effectivement.

I'd like to begin with some&nbsp; Roulés, a nice garden salad, nothing less than fresh I'm sure you understand.

She already was into him, but this just made it so much more. He did this for her. Sure he enjoyed her accent so there could be an underlining selfish reason for it, but over all this was a treat for her. This was her surprise, and she loved it. She placed a hand softly on his.<br><br>"Thank you Theo, this really is fabulous."<br>

(Same as picture)<br><strong>Time:</strong> 7:05 pmish, August 1st<br><strong>Location:</strong> Goût de Lyon Restaurant<br><strong>Tag:</strong> Mellisa<br><hr><br><br>Theo just sat back - and had this big, big grin on his face as he listened to the French folk ramble quickly. He loved the sound of their language, but especially when Melissa spoke it. Again, as he watched her soft lips move as she spoke, he couldn't help but imagine... and that tingle raced down his spine again.<br><br>He had already felt the trip was worth it. And it just kept getting better.<br><br>Theo had no earthly idea what they were saying, and that was perfectly fine with him. The way they both smiled and seemed surprised was priceless. The little bio on the restaurant's website indicated that the owner - the fella before them - was actually from France. No transplant, no American who took a couple years of French in high school - this guy was the real deal. He looked like he could be Melissa's father, and they spoke as if they were old friends. When Melissa finished speaking, the man nodded several times and replied.<br><br>"Ah, Angel Creek, j'ai entendu de cet endroit, bien que je n'aie jamais visité! Bien, soyez bienvenus à de Great Falls et j'espère que nous vous impressionnons assez pour vous voir de nouveau!" He paused for a moment and then continued. "Choix excellents, ma dame. Je ferai révéler du thé tout de suite et il se repose peu de temps après. Les pommes de terre sont surtout très bonnes en ce moment!"<br><br>A moment later, Melissa closed her menu and handed it to the owner, who then turned his eyes and his smile to Theo.<br><br>"And for you, monsieur?"<br><br>Theo chuckled as he leaned forward, taking his menu and offering to him. "I'll have to order mine in plain, boring English," he said. "But I'd like the chicken fricassee with tarragon, garden salad with french dressing, and of course some french bread, s'il vous plaît," he said, -almost- pronouncing it correctly. The owner, of course, smiled in appreciation for the attempt. <br><br>"I will have these brought out to you quickly," the owner said, thick accent unmistakable as he took Theo's menu, and turned to quickly shuffle away.<br><br>Theo turned his head when Melissa thanked him, and he chuckled again, his eyes widening for just a moment, "Well, we'll see. If the food is as good as all indications point to, then yeah, it -should- be fabulous," he said, but he wasn't stressing about that part... at least not much. The food was out of his hands. Getting her here was on him, but now, the fate of her enjoyment rested in the hands of the restaurant's cook.<br><br>He looked down to see her hand on his - such slender fingers, but strong - they would need to be, to give a proper massage of course. His hand that she touched slowly opened, wider palm, bigger fingers, all moving slowly to turn palm-up and let her hand rest in his. Another chill raced down his spine. <br><br>"What do you want?" Theo suddenly asked, then his eyes raced up to meet hers, a little surprised by the question himself. "I mean, in life... what are your goals? Aspirations?" he added quickly.<br><br><br><br><br>

My mother is in fact a lawyer here. Roselle Auvray with, hmm, I actually can't recall the law-firm she works with. Well perhaps it will come to me during dinner.">Merci monsieur, c'est tout à fait une belle ville, mais je suis déjà venu ici. Ma mère est en fait un avocat ici. Roselle Auvray avec, hum, en fait je ne me souviens pas l'lawfirm elle travaille. Eh bien peut-être qu'il viendra à moi pendant le dîner.</acronym>"<br><br>Mel watched Theo as he ordered, 'plain boring English' he said, it caused her to chuckle softly. She found nothing plain or boring about Theo, even in places others might, such as him running an antiquities store. As the man left she turned her attention to Theo. Smiling as he asked his question, it was very direct but illy worded. She waited however, and not in vein for a few moments later he corrected himself. With her palm now on his she lightly traced her fingers along his wrist into his palm and back again.<br><br>"Short term, or long term?" Mel asked softly, her smile still on her face <br><br>"I have a large manor being built for me just outside of Angel Creek city limits, I'd like to get that finished, as well as finishing the expansions on the spa. I would like an outside spa area. I've actually found a place I would like to move the building to, so that it's got more space for an outside massage garden, tranquil fountains and small waterfalls, things like that. We're of course talking years down the line however."<br><br>Mel blushed softly, here she was, in a beautiful French restaurant, with Theo as her wonderful company, and she was still going back to the topic of work. She glanced down at her hand, her fingers forming small circles in his palm. She would like to have a family, a great husband and a few children, but it was risky to say that on a date. He could easily panic thinking that she was going from a first date to wedding bells, and that wasn't the case at all. So to be safe she didn't say it. Instead she turned the question on him. "How about you? You going to stay in Angel Creek? We're counting on it drawing in more people, and I'd in truth, I'd like you to stick around for that."<br><br>Angel Creek was a small town yes, but many of the people who moved there preferred it as such, so when the rumors started that the town could actually grow, some people began leaving, moving to other towns they hoped would remain small, allowing people a bit more piece of mind.

(Same as picture)<br><strong>Time:</strong> 7:05 pmish, August 1st<br><strong>Location:</strong> Goût de Lyon Restaurant<br><strong>Tag:</strong> Mellisa<br><hr><br><br>Theo raised a brow as she mentioned the large manor she was having built outside of town. "Wow, fancy!" he said. "Sounds like you're planning for a big family or something," he said, then quickly added, "Not that it's any of my business, of course. I was just curious," he shrugged slightly. "And spa expansion! That's wonderful!" <br><br>He had considered expanding his own shop, but it was just about the perfect manageable size for one person right now. Theo had no other employees at the moment, and he knew even adding one or two part-timers to help him out would be a lot of paperwork that he didn't know if he was wanting to get into. He had teased Mel about making her a part-time employee, though, and -that- was an exception he would be most willing to make. He figured for all the time he'd be distracted staring at her, would be made up by all the extra customers she'd bring in, especially amongst the male population of Angel Creek.<br><br>Theo noted her blush, and wondered if he had said something to embarrass her. But quickly she turned the tables, turning his question back on him. Truth was - he wasn't entirely sure. He had moved so much, looking for that one place he could truly call home. He'd been in Angel Creek for a few years, and so far it was working out well.<br><br>"I certainly plan to stay in Angel Creek for a good long while," he said, smiling at her. "At least that's the plan. If business dries up for some reason - like another plunge in the economy, then I might have to move on," he said, "But that's not my plan. I rather like it in Angel Creek, it keeps growing on me month after month.... Especially now," he said, giving her a long, gentle look. Yes - most especially now.<br><br>A moment later the owner returned with drinks and the first part of their orders - salads and appetizers galore. Some things they hadn't even ordered, but the owner was obviously doing his best to welcome them. Hot fresh bread caught Theo's eyes, and he was almost thankful for the excuse to take his eyes off Mel. He certainly didn't want to disturb her with his gawking.<br>

Slowly she shook her head, but she didn't say anything, she just listened to Theo as he spoke.<br><br>"I'm certain your business will do just fine. My home will have a room for my parents, and I may rent out a few of the rooms, but beyond that it'll be just me. I do enjoy my space, a large kitchen, beautiful pool. I actually decided I wanted it because it reminded me of France. Who knows though, maybe some day I'll have a large family, you just never really know what the fates have in store, but I wouldn't mind it. Beautiful children, a loving husband, maybe even get a few dogs."<br><br>She smiled as Lyon returned with the items they had requested, as well as a few more. "Merci Lyon" She nodded to him with a smile before turning back to the table. There's truly nothing better than fresh, French bread."

He could sense the excitement in her voice, and what person -wouldn't- be looking forward to having their dream-house completed?<br><br>"Yep, kids, family, dogs, a big house... what most people wish for, and you can have that," he said, reaching for the glass of water sitting before him. "And room for mom or dad, plus renting out a few rooms to pay for the mortgage, definitely not a bad idea, especially if there's a pool," he added.<br><br>They dove into the first part of their meal, and Theo made sure to take his time. Normally he ate like a race horse - there was little reason to go slow, and he always seemed to have -something- he needed to do. But here, now, with Mel, nothing else mattered, and he had no real reason to hurry. Not to mention he didn't want to come across like some starved man walking out of the desert.<br><br>"What sort of things do you do for fun?" he asked as he reached for some bread after she had taken some. "I mean, besides going to dinner with strange bookstore owners," he teased, "What sorts of fun things do you do in your spare time? What sorts of movies do you like? Who's your favorite band?" he asked with a smile, a bit of eagerness in his voice. He wanted to know everything about her.

She'd thought about that quite a bit at the spa, while she was messaging back and forth with Theo. She enjoyed the emails, as she enjoyed the time at his shop, the kiss they shared when he went to pick her up. The feel of his skin under her fingers as she caressed his neck. Theo was an amazing man, and the possibility of him being that dream guy had occured to her, but she wasn't about to say it. No, she wasn't about to risk losing him, instead she would let things play out. See what happened.<br><br>"Well with my father being a doctor, and my mother being a lawyer here in Great Falls, I don't see why they should be paying for the place they're in now, so I thought it would be good for them to have a place that was a bit more home like that they could come to when the actualy had days they could unwind."<br><br>Mel takes some bread from the table and gently rips off a piece before slipping it between her lips, it's a small piece so it doesn't take long for her to chew and swallow as she listens to Theo's list of questions. Mel laughs playfully as she sets her bread down on a small plate that was set in front of her.<br><br>"I happen to enjoy the company of this strange bookstore owner you're referring to. He's quite compassionate, and that's an important trait in life. I like a wind assortment of movies actually, though I'm not sure about many horror flicks. Some of them can get rather gory, and I don't do that well around blood, one of the reasons I didn't follow in my father's footsteps. Far as music I can't really say I know. I listen mostly to composers, classical things like is played at the spa. I guess I don't have enough of a personal life to have my own genre of music."<br><br>Mel laughed softly, playfully as she took another small bite of her bread, again chewing and swallowing before she continued.<br><br>"In truth, you're the first man I've got out with in several years, and most of the staff at the spa I don't see outside of work unless it's during a shopping trip. I don't really even leave my office that often. In fact the past few months waiting for my house to get put up. That's where I've been living. My boss is quite unhappy about it however."

(Same as picture)<br><strong>Time:</strong> 7:15 pmish, August 1st<br><strong>Location:</strong> Goût de Lyon Restaurant<br><strong>Tag:</strong> Mellisa<br><hr><br><br>"That makes complete sense," he replied in response to her explanation concerning her parents. "It's efficient and makes sense, especially if you're on really good terms with your parents," he said, nodding. <br><br>When she began answering his questions, it was his turn to take a few bits of bread, butter them lightly, and down them as he listened to her. God, he could just sit here and listen to her -talk-... that voice was -so- mesmerizing. He smiled widely when she mentioned enjoying his company, for it was definitely a mutual feeling. <br><br>She explained a slight aversion to horror flicks - and gore, and how she wasn't fond of blood. While his smile remained, his mind instantly wandered a bit, images and memories of his last hunt in his mind. Oh yes, there was -that-, he thought to himself. The other -part- of him that she knew nothing about. Again, the sudden reminded threatened to bring him down, to ruin what was so far an enchanting day all because of her. He kept his smile, though, his eyes watching her as she spoke, loving the way her lips moved when she formed words, and he pushed all thoughts of the animal out of his mind again.<br><br>"I am not really into horror movies, myself," he replied. "And I really do enjoy classical music a lot, too, depending on the mood. The music I heard in your spa - very relaxing," he nodded. "And not much of a personal life? You need to get out more!" he urged with a soft laugh as she took another bite of bread, smiling and softly laughing herself as well.<br><br>He was shocked to learn, though, that he was the first man to take her out in years. She didn't -sound- like she had a lot of friends, from the way she described it, which also threw him off. She was so -friendly-, but then again, from the description she gave of her work-life, it didn't sound like she had a lot of time to do such things. In fact, she sounded like a workaholic, and for a moment he wondered if that was some sort of gentle hint: she was a career-first kind of lady, everything else second. Heck, maybe she was trying to hint that she wasn't really LOOKING for anything 'serious'. <br><br>And why did that thought -bother- him so much, he wondered for a moment. He, too, had only ever allowed himself one or two 'serious' relationships. He was normally fine with something short, neat, and with no strings attached. Hearing her words, though, and getting the impression she wouldn't be interested in such a thing with him somehow... stung. In a very silly way, he admitted. Maybe she merely wanted something physical? Or more likely, maybe she just wanted a friend to talk to and hang out with once in awhile?<br><br>Whatever her wants and needs, Theo quietly decided he'd try to give her what she wanted.<br><br>But at her last words, his eyes widened, and before he knew it - he was speaking.<br><br>"Well, I happen to know of an apartment very close to your work, very affordable, very comfortable, and the guy living there is looking for a roommate. It's a two bedroom, and something like it would sure go a long way to making your boss happy that you aren't living at work," he said, and immediately felt the weight of uncertainty. <br><br><em>Holy -shit-</em>, had he just asked her to move -in- with him???? No, no, no! Not like -that-, of course! He couldn't -believe- he had just said all that, without even much thought. Was it the desire to truly offer a hand to someone who -might- actually could use it? Or was it merely just a boyhood fantasy playing in his mind of 'accidentally' seeing her in an open bathrobe or any number of other potentially compromising situations?<br><br>He relaxed immediately, though. Surely she would politely decline. Still, it had been the polite thing to do - even if he had selfish motives for offering, he thought...

As if they wanted her to stay in Angel Creek, stay with them. Of course they still loved their son, they spoke to him almost daily, but she never got a handle on why she was to stay here. Perhaps one day the reason would be shown to her, perhaps... Perhaps Theo was that reason. Fate was unique in that sense. It made it's own rules and did things it's own way.<br><br>She laughed at his comment about her needing to get out more. He was certainly right about that, she heard it a lot in fact, but getting out, well it wasn't as easy as everyone made it sound.<br><br>"You might be right, maybe I'll talk about that with a certain gentlemen I met recently. Perhaps convince him to take me out more. Sometimes I think he's to shy or freaked out by how I may answer to suggest certain things."<br><br>Mel smiled lightly placing her hand on the back of one of his, curling her fingers in so they were against his flesh as she gently tickled them over his skin. Tracing random designs slowly down his hand to his wrist then back again. As this point she was wanting to lean across the table and kiss him, just as she had done at the spa, but she refrained, instead she continued to trace her fingers along his flesh as he spoke of the apartment he happened to know about. She held back a laugh as she listened to him. This was much like him having the perfect massuer in mind. She knew the man he was talking about was him, at least she was fairly certain. As she looked up from his hand she caught her eyes to his.<br><br>"That's a very generous offer Theo, thank you, but I'm not sure if it's the best idea." she began, and perhaps she should have stopped there, in fact there was a good chance Theo expected her to, he gave a nice offer, she nicely turned it down, then they could start a new chapter of the book, but she didn't stop there. She uncontrollably changed the last page. "I mean I'm not really a towel up type girl, so my trips to and from the bathroom are a bit more exposed than I'm sure most people's are."<br><br>As the words spilled from her mouth she really thought nothing of it. They were blunt in their emails there was no reason they couldn't be now. The after math of her comment however was how it would affect him. She didn't really want him to pass out on the floor, or have his jaw drop open causing a scene. Knowing there was little she could do about his reaction she simply smiled and returned her eyes to the wrist she was caressing.

(Same as picture)<br><strong>Time:</strong> 7:20 pmish, August 1st<br><strong>Location:</strong> Goût de Lyon Restaurant<br><strong>Tag:</strong> Mellisa<br><hr><br><br>Theo gave Melissa a sideways glance. "Oh, I am sure that gentleman would be happy to take you out any day or time that you were available and so inclined," he said, "In fact, I am very sure of it. I am also -fairly- certain that he's not freaked-out by anything - he just really... likes you, and doesn't want to see you... withdraw because of some silly suggestion he makes," he added, smiling warmly, and though the mood was light, there was a distinct sense of sincerity to his words.<br><br>He had been going with the flow so far, and being a bit more daring than he normally would be. But, what the hell? She was worth the risk, he thought. Sure, he might say something that pushed her away or bit him in the ass, but he was of the frame of mind that he'd prefer to try and fail, than not bothering to try at all.<br><br>Theo's eyes moved to where her hand touched his, and slowly his palm opened and moved slightly to make it easier for her. Damn, he wished he could touch -her- that softly, and though he could be gentle, he knew there was no way he could mimic her feminine touch, for sure. There was simply a delicacy in her movements that he knew he or most men could not possibly replicate. The tips of his fingers of that same hand slowly extended, sliding lightly down her palm to wrest gently against the inside of her wrist, not interfering with her movements at all.<br><br>Then she answered his offer, a polite rejection which was what he expected. Then she added the bit on the end, and his mouth -did- hang open for a moment as his eyes suddenly darted up to her face. ~She did that on purpose!~ he thought to himself. Again, he saw evidence that she loved to tease, and from the sudden tightness in his lower abdomen, apparently he liked it too, along with her gentle, smooth touch.<br><br>Not one to be silenced so easily, he lightly shrugged, and before he could use his built-in censor-meter, his mouth was moving.<br><br>"I think that he would give you a really, really, -really- good deal, just in case you... reconsider," he said, his voice softer than before. "I am sure, very positive, that he would respect your... habits."

Listening to what Theo had said about not wanting to look silly and case her to withdraw. As he commented on the situation of the living in the apartment she let out a soft giggle. He was so confident when he was 'helping out a friend' but when it was him, he was so self conscious. Slowly she stood up from the table, in most cases a sure sign that the date was over but she moved around to where Theo was sitting, taking each of his hands in her own she guided him to his feet.<br><br>"Come with me."<br><br>She spoke softly, delicately as she turned and started out the front door of the restaurant.<br><br>"<acronym title="We'll be back shortly.... Mmm, most likely">Nous serons de retour bientôt .... Mmm, très probablement</acronym>" she said smiling and winking at Lyon before leading Theo out the door.<br><br>As Theo stepped out of door he joined her near the side of the door as she took each his hands in her own, wrapping her arms around her back she forced his to follow, smiling as she looked up at him.<br><br>"Look around you Theo, this isn't Paris, and even if it were. I don't want le roi des rois. What I want, what I need, is someone I know I can trust and who will trust me. Someone who makes me laugh, someone I can laugh with. Enjoy the simpler, more peaceful things in life. Someone..."<br><br>Mel's voice trailed off as she softly pressed her lips to his and kissed his, releasing his hands as she lightly ran the back of them up slowly up his arms before eventually lacing them around his neck.

(Same as picture)<br><strong>Time:</strong> 7:24 pmish, August 1st<br><strong>Location:</strong> Goût de Lyon Restaurant<br><strong>Tag:</strong> Mellisa<br><hr><br><br>When Mel suddenly rose to her feet, he was pretty sure he was a cooked goose. Or uncooked, whichever was worse. Had his flirtations gotten the best of him?<br><br><em>"Come with me,"</em> she said.<br><br>And he obeyed, without hesitation.<br><br>Theo rose to his feet, setting his napkin down on his chair. He noted the waiter, the restaurant's owner, glancing their direction. Theo gave the man a motion with his hand to indicate he'd be back in a moment, then turned to follow Mel, his longer gait allowing him to catch up with her quickly. She was heading for the front door - either she was leaving, or she wanted to have words with him, perhaps, where others might not hear? Was she -that- upset? No, she didn't have a ride all the way home, but after all that she had shared about her family, he was sure she could get one.<br><br>When he stepped outside, then off to the side, her actions took him completely by surprise. <br><br>She took his big hands in hers as if his belonged to her, and she moved them around behind her, forcing him to embrace her in a way. Immediately, he noticed how... small... she felt, how slender and lithe she was, was not just a 'look', it was 'real'.<br><br>Then she plainly told him what she -wanted-. He could feel his heart pounding in his chest, and when her words came to a pause, his eyes focused on hers.<br><br>"I... you can trust me," he said. "I can try to-...," he started to continue, but her hands at released his, and hers slid up his arms to his neck as her lips made their way upward to meet his. Theo of course, moved his lips to meet hers part way, at the last moment when he realized that, yes, she intended to kiss him. His eyes closed, and he focused on how she felt.<br><br>His arms slid slowly more about her lower back, gently pulling her closer. She felt so -fragile- in his arms, as if one hug would -break- her, even though he knew that was probably paranoia on his part. But the front of her body pressed against his felt... incredible, and he allowed himself to get lost in her kiss for as long as she was willing to give it...

Her gentle touch would lightly tickles his skin as she then moved her fingers down the side of his neck before finally pulling back from the kiss. Her gaze was soft as she looked at Theo, tracing her fingertips back up the sides of his neck along each side of his jaw line, meeting them together at his chin before she gave him another kiss, just a small peck before she began to speak, her lips not far from his her tone was slightly above a whisper.<br><br>"Now hopefully, you can relax a bit."<br><br>She smiled softly before giving him a second peck on the lips. He was nervous about everything he'd said, every step he made. It was obvious to her that he liked her and he was worried saying the wrong thing could scare her off. This kiss wasn't just to relax him though, that's what she worked to make clear to him with the tender pecks that followed. She wanted to kiss him. The kiss in her spa was to much of a tease to her to allow it to be the last.<br><br>As she gave him a few more soft pecks, lightly teasing her tongue oer his lips she traced her hands down over his shoulders and his upper arms as well as his chest. She'd wanted to put her hands on him since the moment she stepped into his shop. Perhaps it was an unhealthy desire, but she hid it behind being a masseur, he was well built, and his muscles under her delicate hands only seemed to draw her in more to the idea of getting him nude on a bed. As she finished kissing him she tried to shake the thoughts from her mind, before she attempted to speak again.<br><br>"We should... Probably get back inside... Finish our meal." As she spoke she started to pull back from Theo, but instead found herself pulled back in to kissing him again.

(Same as picture)<br><strong>Time:</strong> 7:30 pmish, August 1st<br><strong>Location:</strong> Goût de Lyon Restaurant<br><strong>Tag:</strong> Mellisa<br><hr><br><br>After the sweet, delightful kiss and her soft touches, he simply could not find his voice right away. This was totally unexpected, yet one of the many things he had been hoping for. As her face pulled away slightly, her lips leaving his by just an inch or two, she expressed her hope that he might be able to relax more now.<br><br>All he could do was nod quickly. She followed that up with several smaller kisses, and his lips moved to return the favor, not pushing her, not pressuring her for more than she was willing to give. Out of the corner of his eye he could see another couple entering the restaurant, looking at him and Mel as they shared their private moment together.<br><br>Theo's hands still clung gently to her back, his arms around her holding her to him. But when she suggested they go back inside, he released her right away - though slowly, with a bit of obvious reluctance. "Alright," he finally said, finding his voice once again, and then he gently pulled her back to him. "After... one more," he whispered, then pressed his lips boldly against hers again.<br><br>If she resisted or pushed against him, he would of course let her go - he had no wish to -force- anything. But he definitely wanted to kiss her again, even if it was just a soft, sweet peck on the lips. But this time, his tongue teased -her- lips, very lightly as their mouths brushed together.<br><br>"Ok," he said as the kiss passed. "Now I think we can finish," he smiled playfully, hoping he hadn't pushed to far as he gently released her from his embrace.

The laugh of course interupted by his lips pressed against hers, she shivered slightly in his embrace as his tongue brushed over her lips. As much as she would have loved to part her lips, and deepen their kiss she knew it would most likely end in them leaving without finishing their meal, so she didn't. As he pulled back from her and spoke again she slowly traced her tongue over her lips. Allowing herself a moment to taste him.<br><br>"I would assume you mean our meal, seeing as, I don't see <em>this</em> being finished any time in the near future."<br><br>She spoke softly as she allowed her hands to lightly trace down Theo's shoulders along his chest as he gently released her. Her heart was racing since she first kissed him after they stepped out the door. She'd never made such a bold move on a guy before, but there was something about this one, something about Theo that just released her inner animal. Something that made her want more, and yes, she did want more.<br><br>"I've been thinking Theo, and I've decided to take you up on your offer." Mel smiled as she looked up at him before stepping back from him and starting back into the restaurant "That is of course if the apartment space is still available." There was a good chance anyone who knew the two of them had just met that afternoon would think them rushing things. Fact of the matter was however that Mel didn't care. She's had a job that most people frowned upon. Theo accepted her job, and he accepted her just as she was. In fact it was a good possibility he'd raise all sorts of Hell if she tried to change. That to her made him perfect enough to take the chances and live the risks.
