Peyton chuckled and shook her head. "I suppose we should have made this decision before we got into the car." Honestly, she had no idea where she wanted to go. She had eaten not too long ago, so food wasn't an option. Plus with her agoraphobia, the last thing she needed to do was to go someplace where there was a large crowd. "I want to go someplace quiet....I-I don't know where..."
Morgan smiled nervously at HeuSeoh's mother. "It's a pleasure to meet you Mrs. Kita," she said in her most formal voice. Even though HeuSeoh had told her to be herself, she couldn't help putting on airs. A smile broke across her face at the mention of him being her "little boy". "I'll take good care of him." Still grinning, she reached out and squeezed his hand tightly.

Khristian nodded, laughing slightly to cut the awkwardness. "Umm... how about a cafe?" He suggested, not sure how quiet one would be but knowing it was a nice place to relax.
HeuSeoh smiled, about to say something when I cut him off again, "Are you two going to want alone time?" HeuSeoh raised an eyebrow, "Why, would you even give it to us?" "Of course! Just leave your door open. Do you want a snack?" I asked, picking up Kasem as he joined the group. HeuSeoh looked at the little boy, "Oh, Morgan, this is my youngest brother Kasem. Technically step-brother, I guess." He explained. "He doesn't really speak English though." Kasem just stared down the girl he was being introduced to, not saying a word, instead puffing his cheeks up.

"I suppose that would be alright," Peyton said after a small moment of hesitation. "It's certainly better than just d-driving around. I'm not really hungry though." Driving around wasn't exactly a bad idea to her, but she didn't want to be the cause of his car running out of gas.
Eager to see the present that HeuSeoh had gotten her, Morgan quickly shook her head. "That's alright, I already ate." She smiled down at the little boy who had just entered the room. "Hi Kasem," she said, her voice growing a bit softer. She nearly giggled at the sight of him puffing his cheeks out, but she was worried that she might offend him. "You're adorable." He can't speak English, Morgan....he has no clue what you just said..... Immediately, she glanced down at the floor to hide her embarrassed face.

Khristian nodded and put the car into reverse, turning the music up just a tiny bit, now playing an Usher song. "If the music bugs you, feel free to turn it down." He told her. HeuSeoh smiled, "He is cute, but he's also stubborn and a little brat." Kasem just smiled, seeming to know what they were saying and replying as if saying, I know, thank you.HeuSeoh shook his head and laughed lightly, "C'mon Morgan, the gift's in my room." He said, gently grabbing her hand and leading her upstairs.

Peyton giggled at the song choice. "Wow, I haven't heard this song since fourth grade," she said. "That was a good year...." It was a much simpler time. Her parents were still together, Taylor was a completely different person, and her father was actually staying home at night. "The music's fine."
Morgan squeezed HeuSeoh's hand and followed him upstairs. "Awwww, but he's a cute brat." She stuck out her tongue and laughed. "I'm a cute brat too, but I'm not stubborn, well not that stubborn."

Khristian smiled, a comfortable silence enveloping them as they listened to the song. Soon, another song came on, and Khristian couldn't help but laugh, "I guess this CD has the most English on it." He joked lightly. HeuSeoh laughed, "You're not a brat." He said as he pulled the gift from a drawer in his desk.

"That's good," Peyton said, surprised to hear yet another R&B song. She knew that Khristian had lived in the United States for awhile, but she couldn't remember how long. Given the way he would occasionally slip into his foreign accent, she had assumed it to be less than two years. "I didn't think you liked English music....I mean, I...." She quickly hit herself in the head, ashamed that she had jumped to conclusions.
Morgan shook her head in disagreement. "Am too! Just ask my sisters; they'll tell you." She squealed with delight when she saw her present. "I love it!" she exclaimed, giving him a quick hug. "Now I can finally learn how to do the spinny thing and not annoy you about it."

Khristian took no offense to her comment, simply laughing lightly, "A lot of my friends back in Macau love a lot of American music. Considering all my siblings also like American music, I think it's safe to say American music, especially pop music, is very popular all around Asia." He explained.
HeuSeoh smiled, "You never annoyed me about it. I just felt bad we never got to see each other often, and we didn't get to practice often. So now... You can practice without me having to be there." He told her, looking down, seeming guilty. "I actually bought it without knowing if we'd ever see each other..." He admitted. He looked at her and smiled, "I need to stop bringing that up, huh?"

"Of course it would be. I don't know why I didn't think that," Peyton said, chuckling nervously. "I'm such an idiot." She kept looking out the the window, trying to come up with another conversation topic. Despite her knowledge of some popular music, she knew more about classical music. She was only really exposed to pop music while riding in the car with her family or listening to her sister blast it incessantly.
Morgan shook her head and threw her arms around HeuSeoh. "It's okay," she said, smiling to hide the sadness in her eyes. "I missed you so much. I didn't know where you were or anything." Why did she suddenly feel like crying? He was fine; he was standing right in front of her. There was no reason for her to feel sad.

Khristian shook his head, "You're not an idiot..." He told her. he about to say something else when he noticed the cafe, "That one look good?" He asked her while they were at the stoplight before the block it was on.
"I missed you too..." HeuSeoh replied, then took a deep breath, "But it's over now, and we're together still." He held onto her, "So there's no point worrying about it now." He assured her.

Peyton nodded her head at the sight of the nearby cafe. The sight of it caused a major burning question to form in her mind. Was this considered a date? Of course, she couldn't voice such a thing out loud. What if she was wrong? It would make things really strange between them, causing her to lose the closest person that she had to a friend in this town. "It looks very quaint," she replied softly.
"Yeah, we're still together, pretty crazy, huh?" Still holding on tightly to him, Morgan unconsciously leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. She wasn't sure what made her do it or why she did it. All she knew was that it was wrong. Her brain filled with panic, she quickly pulled away from him. "Oh my god, I can't believe I did that," she said, running a hand through her hair. "Here we are talking about us being together and I did the one thing that brings us bad luck."

Khristian nodded and smiled as a parking spot became available just as the light turned green. "Perfect..." He breathed, looking as determined as only one trying to get a rare parking spot could look. Once he parked, he glanced at Peyton, seeing her mulling something over, but not quite getting what it could possibly be until he turned off the car. Is this our first date? He asked himself, glancing at her nervously. He took a deep breath, "Let's check it out." He said with his best smile. You'll make it the first date today. He told himself determinedly as he opened the door.
HeuSeoh tilted his head to the side, an amused smile forming on his face, "What?" He asked her, more humored than confused.

Still confused about whether or not this outing was considered a date, Peyton reluctantly nodded her head and got out of the car. "Yes, let's go then." The closest outing she had been on that resembled a date was going with her sort of boyfriend to his sister's sweet sixteen party. The only reason she viewed that as a date was because prior to it, he had kissed her and told her that he had feelings for her. Sadly, she never saw him again after that. "Thanks for keeping me company today," she said, smiling up at him.
"I kissed you," Morgan said, blushing at the grin on his face. Is he laughing at me? She was used to people laughing at her, but right now, it was making her nervous. "We're not supposed to kiss. It's bad luck, remember?"

Khristian smiled, "There's nothing else I'd rather do." He breathed softly, his hands in his jacket pockets as he got behind Peyton in line. He looked at the options on the menu. "What d'you want? My treat." He offered her.
HeuSeoh nodded, still amused. "Right... Is that because of the skating rink? I don't think it was bad luck. Just bad timing." He said, sitting on his bed. "Sit," He said, motioning to the spot next to him, then to his desk chair, giving her a choice. "I'll be sad if you never let me kiss you because it's bad luck." He added, a faint blush on his face.

Peyton laughed and shook her head. "I'm sure there's something else more interesting that you'd rather do, but thanks anyways." She looked up at the various options, not hesitating at all when he said it was his treat. The last time they had hung out together, he'd promised that she would be allowed to pay her own way. However, instead of bringing it up, she just let it go. There was no need to ruin the day with such petty things. "I guess I'll have tea and a muffin."
Her face still somewhat red, Morgan sat on the bed next to him. "Yeah, but when I said it was bad luck, you didn't say anything, which means you agreed with me. Plus, you've never really tried to kiss since then, so I thought....." She turned her head and looked away from him, unsure of what to say next.
