Riley "Why am I interested in you?" I ask slightly confused by your question. "I think you're an amazing person Willow, I want to really get to know you, and spend time with you."
Willow I sigh "I am not pretty, and blond, and well pretty." I say as I look away.
Riley "I think you're gorgeous, but I'm not shallow, I just happened to get lucky that you have a good personality and looks to match." I say as I take another bite of food.
Willow I wasn't really eating much, I was trying to wrap my mind around this.
Riley Maybe she wasn't into me or guys. "I'm sorry...I didn't mean to make this any weirder, for all I know you aren't attracted to me or anything else."
Willow "No it isn't that...." I say softly "I...I have had one guy interested in me...well and Xander, so ok two guys and one left and the other dumped me for an ex demo...democrat." I say covering...badly
Riley I look at her confused what was she about to say. "Damn democrats." I say with a chuckle. "Ok...so after we grab some food I can take you back to your house."
Willow "If thats what you want." I say softly a bit disappointed, but I was happy he didn't ask about my slip up.
Riley "It's not what I want..." I say softly, but I'm not about to push it. "I'm just going to leave it up to you. I want to do something afterwards catch a movie or something, but not if you're bored or want to go home."
Willow "Movies are good....last one i saw had a woman singing about a buffalo and a magic coin...or something."
Riley I look at you confused, "Uhh...ok. Don't know, but ok." I say. "So movie it is? Maybe I can save this date after all...date and a movie?" I say with a smile, hopeful.
Willow I giggle a bit "You talk to yourself often?"
Riley "No; I was talking to you. Do I get a second chance to fix the date?" I ask again.
Willow "Yes you do...still think you're nuts... But yes, you do."
Riley "I do...that's good. There is hope" I say with a smile. "So what do you want to see?"
Willow I shrug "I haven't a clue whats out...why don't you surprise me."
Riley "After we finish we can go look at the theatre and figure something out" I say with another smile.
Willow I nod "I like your plans." Suddenly not that hungry for pizza. "I am ready whenever you are." Ok why was I so excited about this?
Riley "Ok...sounds good to me." I say as I finish my bite and leave my money on the table and take your hand as we walk towards the movie theatre.
Willow He nearly pulled me from the chair with excitement, atleast I had time to grab my bag.
Riley I stopped outside the theatre as we look at the movie posters. I wrap my arm around your shoulder. "See anything that looks good?"
Willow I look at all of them and finally see one I would like, but he didn't seem like he was into that, but what the heck. "That one looks good." I say pointing to a poster for an english film.
Riley "What is this about?" I ask looking at the picture as I lean over and kiss you softly.
Willow My eyes widen as he does this. He was kissing me....he was really kissing me. Ok breath Willow!
Riley I pulled away and looked at her, her eyes were wide open, not exactly what I thought was going to happen. "Sorry...I got carried away." I say softly.
Willow "I..I just....Shock, yes umm ok the movie its...I don't know, but it looks good."
Riley I look at the movie and walk to the ticket place and buy two tickets.
I can't believe the way this day has turned out. Riley came by at one point, asked me if I wanted to go get something to eat. I had no clue that it would turn into a date..yes a date. An actual guy other than Oz can look at me and want to date me. Its all a blur to me, I don't think I could even tell you what happened, or what I ate..or even what movie we saw, but the fact that I was with him, letting his hand brush across mine, it was nice.
The sad part of it all was that I had to go back to the house to the drama. To Julie still with Spike in that sick twisted need to protect him, Makayla fighting with Wesley about why we shouldn't stake Spike, which has me all kinds of confused, and Buffy hovering, waiting for the exact moment that Julie leaves Spike's room so that she can kill him...all of this happening and all I want to do is spend more time with Riley...well and figure out what they did to Spike so we might better understand it. Thats the only downside, with Oz I could tell him about all of this, Riley I can't. I am starting to understand why Buffy hated dating outside of the group.
