Peyton's face remained confused. While his words and the nodding of his head told her one thing, the tone of his voice and the expression on his face told her another. Did he really like her or did he confuse his feelings of pity with real emotions? She nearly asked him again if he was sure, but quickly stopped herself for fear of getting more confusing signals. "Ummmm....that's nice," she finally said, her face blushing.
"That's a brilliant idea!" Morgan exclaimed. "If we wind up hating each other, one of us could just leave. We'd really save a whole lot of time and money." She quickly laughed to cover up her slight frown. Even though she was mostly joking about the hypothetical scenario, the idea of them breaking up was still sad to her. "I could ask my godsiblings about that or maybe all the kids at school. People will answer anything if you tell them you're doing a survey."

Khristian buried his head in his hands, not sure if he was trying to stop laughter or a sob. "This is so not how this..." He muttered to himself but still loud enough for Peyton to hear. He looked up at her again with new determination. "Peyton, I like, no I love you. And yes, I'm sure about that, so please don't ask again." he told her, the sarcasm and malice from before completely gone, determination and care taking its place.
HeuSeoh smiled weakily. "But of course, that will never happen. I don't want to think about us breaking up when we haven't even been together very long..." He told her honestly. With a stronger smile, he nodded, "We'll say it's for health class and just interview our siblings and the student body." He joked. With a grimace and roll of the eyes, he added, "or I can just ask my little brother Thongchai. He's only been dating his girlfriend for five years. Y'know, since they were nine..."

"This is not how what?" Peyton asked, trying to figure out what he was saying. She took a deep breath and sipped her tea, only to nearly spit it out at his next words. He loved her? She couldn't believe it. It was surprising enough that he even wanted to hang out with her in spite of her clumsiness, stuttering, and all around boring personality. "I'm sorry for asking so many questions," she said, finally swallowing her tea. "I'm just a bit stunned. Nobody's ever really...I mean I had a boyfriend, but he....I didn't think you...." Frustrated at her lack of sentence structure, she sighed and put her head down, banging it against the table.
Morgan nodded her head slowly. "You're right. It's too soon for us to think like that. We have to think about all of the super fun happy couple stuff." Her eyes grew wide at his statement about his little brother. "Wow, since they were nine?" Where she grew up, it wasn't that common for people to date one another for that long. She remembered how big a deal it was that Taylor and her then boyfriend had made it to six months. They'd treated it as though she had been married fifty years or something. "Maybe you should ask him for advice. It sounds like he's being doing something right."

Khristian bit his bottom lip as he listened to his heart still beating quickly. "I see... But... Do you... like me back?" He asked quietly, apprehensively.
HeuSeoh laughed, "Yeah, maybe." Laughing again, he looked at his girlfriend, "What ever happened to like, 16 or 17 being the 'first girlfriend' stage of life, huh?" He shook his head, "After they started dating, My brother BaoChen and I didn't hear the end of it. 'Why does Chai have a girlfriend and you two don't?'" He rolled his eyes. "Sisters are just awesome at teasing like that."

Peyton lifted her head up and nodded it slowly. She hadn't exactly been forthcoming with her feelings about him, but they were definitely there. "Yes," she said softly, "I like you. I like you very much." After her confession, she sat in silence, unsure of what to say or do next.
Morgan laughed as well. "Well, tell your sister that you have a girlfriend now," she said proudly. "And that your girlfriend is really awesome and will let you kiss her anytime she wants." She giggled at the last part and wrapped her arms around him. "And that she's the luckiest girl ever because she gets to date you."

Khristian smiled, finally able to relax as he leaned back in his seat, "I'm glad." He said, almost as in disbelief. "I didn't want this turning awkward..." He took a sip of his drink, finally feeling the butterflies settle.
HeuSeoh smiled widely, kissing Morgan on the forehead. "I'll make sure to say all of that. And also that I'm lucky to have you as well." He replied with a smile. Only a couple seconds could pass by before he hid his face, laughing, "That was lamer than I thought it would be..." He looked back up at Morgan apologetically, "I'm not normally good at being romantic, it's too weird."

"Of course not," Peyton said, quickly shoving her muffin in her mouth to hide her nerves. He might not have felt awkward, but she was still in shock. Well, at least I know that this is a date now.... That was one thing that she didn't have to wonder about any longer. Breathing a tiny sigh of relief, she chewed up the last of her muffin and glanced over at him. "I'll try my absolute best not to act awkward around you."
Morgan folded her arms and firmly shook her head in disagreement. "Nuh uh! You are too! You're really good at it! I thought the rings were super romantic. And you're always saying really mushy stuff too.....like you told me that you fell in love with me at first sight." She wasn't sure how true the statement was, especially considering that she had pretty much ambushed him the night they had met, but it still sounded nice to her. She looked back at him with a serious expression. "It's no big deal whether you are or not. I'd still like you anyways."

Khristian blinked at her a couple times before smiling warmly, "Coming from you, that really means a lot to me." He told her sincerely, not trying to pick fun at her or anything. He took a sip of his drink, "And I'll try to keep you out of awkward situations." He promised her. "No guarantee, just try."
HeuSeoh looked taken aback, "you really think so?" He looked a little embarrassed. "It's probably 'cause of mom and GenShi." He admitted. He thought back to when they first met, nodding slightly, "I remember I had a head ache, but you were definitely humorous. I don't know if it was love at first sight, but I definitely knew by the end of that day I liked you."

"Thanks," Peyton said, relaxing a bit. "I'm glad I could mean something to you." Of course you mean something to him! He just told you that he loved you, stupid! Blocking out her conscience, she giggled a little and wiped the muffin crumbs off of her mouth. "I doubt you could try. I mean, I'm always awkward. Everything I do is an awkward situation...."
Morgan nodded her head quickly. "Of course I do!" she exclaimed, ruffling his hair with her hand. "Remind me to give your mom and GenShi a thank-you present." Her expression grew a bit puzzled as he recalled their first meeting. "I gave you a headache? Wow, it's a wonder that you even liked me."

Khristian laughed and sipped his drink. Thinking out loud, he muttered, "I love your smile," trying to seem confident while it had given him butterflies. "Besides, it's not completely awkward between us. So we can just be alone a lot." He said with a wink, his cocky smile only lasting a few seconds before he laughed and covered his face, "I'm sorry. I can't believe I did that."
HeuSeoh laughed, "No, no, not you. The lights. the lights gave me a headache." He reminded her. "I've liked you since I first saw you flailing on the dance floor." He said teasingly. "Looking back on that now, you've come a long way. You're almost a full-fledged b-girl now." He said, looking at her proudly.

Peyton's face reddened with embarrassment. "A-alone?" she asked, trying not to revert back to her embarrassing habit of stuttering around him. She really needed to calm down. It was normal for him to be thinking such things. After all, they weren't babies, they were in college. Everybody was doing it. Although given the fact that her experience was only limited to being kissed once, things could get very awkward between them. "Don't apologize. It's alright, really." Feeling a little inferior, she glanced down at her tea.
"Really?" Morgan asked, grinning from ear to ear. "You really think I'm that good?" He was always giving her compliments about her dancing, but she figured it was just to be nice. She didn't realize he was being serious about it. "I can't remember exactly when I liked you," she said honestly. "But it was definitely during that night."

Khristian held up his hands defensively, "No, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to embarrass you. I was joking." He said, hoping he didn't insult her in any way. He smiled weakly, "I just wanted to see how you'd react."
HeuSeoh nodded, "Totally. Especially compared to before we met." He teased. He thought about their first meeting, leaning back on his bed, propping himself up by his elbows. "That was a fun night. We should go to a club again sometime. You can show off your moves." He suggested.

"It's quite alright," Peyton said, the blush still on her cheeks. "I guess we'd have to be alone at some point." She folded her hands together and smiled. "Sorry, if my reaction was a bit immature. I told you I'm awkward."
Morgan innocently laid back on the bed, not caring or worrying about how strange it may have seemed. "Yeah, we should go! I bet none of the kids here know how to dance like that. They'll be begging us to teach them how to dance." Having only been in town a short period of time, she didn't know the kids at her new school too well, but she doubted that any of them knew how to do the cool spinning dance that HeuSeoh did.

Khristian nodded, "I know, I know~" He said in almost a sing-song voice. "You'll get used to me." He winked. "I mean, you have to now." He told her jokingly.
HeuSeoh smirked, "Yeah, we could really show them, huh?" He asked her, getting seriously interested in going to the club right now. "When should we go?" He asked, letting her decide instead of impulsively dragging her to a club at that second.

Peyton giggled when he winked at her. She hadn't meant to, but there was something about his face that just caused her to descend into giggles. "Yeah, I guess I should get used to you. I'm surprised I haven't already, given the way that you seem to suddenly appear out of nowhere."
Morgan sat up and looked at him, trying to figure out when would be a good time to go. She wasn't really too familiar with clubs. "How about next Saturday or something? Everybody seems to go out on Saturdays." Of course, today was also Saturday, but she felt a little nervous about going so soon.
