muse:cucumbers and flirting

if y'all haven't heard j.r.a.'s "by chance (you and i)" please go find it--it's amazing and beautiful. also, "agents of secret stuff." go watch it on youtube. :)

muse:
the lab had run much later than blake had expected. but he got to work with ariana, so he was perfectly content that he was able to spend more time with her. she was just so beautiful, so smart, nice, funny... he was starstruck. but of course when it came to talking to her, he was tongue-tied. as he walked with her out to the student parking lot, he resolved that tonight would be the night that he would talk to her and ask her out. the two were just passing the courtyard when he saw the bench under the tree. he motioned for her to follow him to the nook.

"what's up, blake? i have to get going, you know."

"ari--ariana... hi."

"hey yourself," she replied, giggling. "now, what's up?"

"well... you're beautiful today and... can i have your number? we can go grab some food and eat some cucumbers--why did i say that?" he blushed furiously as she burst into a fit of laughter.

"your rhyming is cute," she gushed, trying to calm herself down.

"your smile is the best thing i've ever seen," he managed to stutter. "it fits you, and it makes me smile too."

it was ariana's turn to blush a deep crimson.

"oh stop it, you," she mumbled happily, slapping his arm. silence echoed between them and the starlight. slowly, though, ariana's hand sneaked towards blake's. "so, dinner..." she started. "you still on for it?"

blake grinned from ear to ear as he took ariana's hand in his.

"sure. let's go."
