Brody looked up in surprise, reaching across the table for her hand. "No Kylie wait. I don't want you to go. I wanted to tell you so that there were no secrets between us. I don't know where this thing between us is going to go, but I want to give it a chance. Do you feel something for me, or am I in this on my own?"
He knew it was the wrong time, but he couldn't help himself and chuckled softly. "You really think I'm going to let you walk home when it's freezing out?"

Kylie tried to let go of his hand, but it was attracted to hers like a magnet. Her mind was telling her to walk away from him, that he was the same guy that had tormented her when she was younger, but she couldn't bring herself to do so. Swallowing the lump in her throat, she reluctantly nodded her head. "Yes," she said softly. "I have feelings for you."
She began dabbing at her eyes with her napkin, using her makeup compact to block her face from his line of vision. "Yeah, I did think that. I figured you'd let me go since I was crying and stuff." That's right, admit it to him that you're a crybaby....way to go, Jack's little sister.....

Brody shook his head, a small smile playing across his lips. "That would be another reason why I wouldn't let you go. Imagine if you got lost in the snow, because you were crying and couldn't see where you were going? Then it would be all my fault."
Squeezing her hand gently, he picked up his fork and finished off his plate. "So what do you want to have for dessert? I hope you saved room."
His eyes brightened and he began grinning from ear to ear. "Oh, I forgot to tell you. I got a new job, I'm an apprentice electrician. I earn peanuts, but since I'm still living at home it's not really a big deal. I get all my money and don't have to pay for much yet."

Kylie nodded her head again and put away her compact, her eyes still a little watery. "Yeah, that would like majorly suck for you, wouldn't it?" Not like he'd actually care enough to worry about me..... Frowning a bit, she shook off the negative feeling and squeezed his hand. She had to remember that he liked her. Otherwise, she wouldn't be here right now.
She raised her eyebrows at his next question. Desert? She didn't do desert. Sure, she'd taken a few small bites of her friends' birthday cakes over the years, but that was mostly out of politeness. Apart from the occasional heartbroken ice cream binge, it had been a long time since she'd actually partaken in desert. "That's okay," she said, looking down. "I'm kinda full anyways."
Her face lit up at the sight of his smile. "That's so great. I'm so happy for you." She didn't know much about being an electrician and she was a little worried that he'd wind up hurting himself, but she loved seeing the excitement in his eyes.

Brody frowned, rubbing his face. "Ok, you're going to have to tell me what I've done wrong. Because I keep striking out with you. If you give me some hints, maybe our next date will go better."
Sighing in frustration, he signalled for the bill. When the waiter arrived, he shoved some notes in the pocket, and handed it back. "Thanks, the food was great. Can you send compliments to the chef please?"
Turning back to Kylie, he sighed again and leaned his elbows on the table. "Kylie, I like you. And you said you like me too. I don't understand why you're making this so hard for us both when we could just be enjoying each other's company."

Brody's words hit Kylie like a ton of bricks. He thought that he was striking out with her? Apart from the fact that he'd called her skinny and his confession that he'd slept with the very attractive mother of his child, the evening seemed to be going well for her. Her thoughts immediately flashed back to their first date. She'd been so confused back then, so sure that he was joking with her. Oh my god! No wonder he thinks he's totally blowing it!
Realizing how she may have confused him, she quickly attempted to explain herself. "I do like you, Brody, a lot, like you have no idea how much. And I know you like me too, but it's just so super confusing because up until recently you totally hated my guts." She sighed and put on her coat. "I know you've changed and I really like being with you, but everything's just so majorly confusing and complicated." The confusing and complicated part had more to do with her past relationship with Jordan and his current situation Liesl than anything else, but she kept that to herself. She'd already put enough of a damper on their evening; she didn't need to create more drama. "Anyways, thanks for inviting me out tonight," she added, smiling a little.

Brody tipped his head back slightly, frowning. "I don't think I've ever hated you. Treated you with indifference maybe. But definitely not hated. There's only one girl I've ever truly hated." A picture of Katy Tyus flashed across his face and his frown grew more pronounced. "And you're nothing like her." He shook his head slightly and smiled at her. "Sorry about that."
Standing up, he held his hand out for her to take. "Did you want to go somewhere else? I had reckoned on dinner taking a little while longer, so it's not late yet."

Kylie cringed a bit at the huge frown on his face. "Well, I'm so totally glad I'm not her then," she said. She was so positive that he had hated her all for all of those years. It was a very refreshing to hear that it wasn't true. Given the way that she currently felt about him, she wouldn't be able to stand it if he'd suddenly decided to hate her one day.
She stood up and took his hand in hers. "I'd totally love to hang out some more," she said, grinning from to ear to ear. "I just have like no clue whatsoever to do. I mean, this town's still like all new to me."

Brody chuckled softly as he wound his way through the tables towards the door. "You know her actually. Not sure if you'd remember herthough. She moved away when we were about 14."
Opening the door, he motioned for her to go through first, "Well, we could see what the nightlife here is like. I mean, it seems like a small town but now that all the MABTown refugees are here, maybe it's busy? We are dressed up after all."

"Really?" Kylie asked, trying to think back that far. Her life between the ages of eleven and fifteen had seemed like such a blur, a string of random memories all running together. The only things that she could actually pinpoint dates to were her mother's marriage and subsequent divorce, the birth of her half sister Molly, her tumultuous relationship with Jordan, losing of a few more beauty pageants, having to switch from a private to a public school, and Brody hitting her in the face with a hackey sack. Sure, it seemed like a lot, but it was very little to fill up a four year time span. "Did I like hate her too or something?"
She followed him out the door, surprised that he had held it open for her. "That sounds totally interesting. I never like did nightlife stuff. Well, I mean, like, on a date....." Realizing that she might have said too much, she turned bright red. "I....uh....guess we should go find something to do or whatever...."

Brody shrugged. "You might have. But unless you said something to Miki about her I wouldn't really know. Her name was Katy Tyus."
As she walked through the door, he ducked his head to hide his smile. Once sure it wasn't going to make an appearance he lifted his face to meet hers. "You've never been out at night? Seriously?" Taking her hand again, he moved her in the direction of the the pulsing music and bright lights. "You're going to love this I promise. It's the biggest buzz."

Recognizing the name immediately, Kylie gasped. "Oh my god, I remember her! I so wanted to be like her when I was younger. She went like totally mental in junior high because she got like into all that wiccan stuff or whatever."
Embarrassed at her admission, she held on tightly to his hand. She hated the fact that everything she said to him came out the wrong way. "Well, duh! Of course I've been out at night!" She began racking her brain to come up with examples. "I went to that club thingy in Little Tokyo once at night. I went to the prom, that was at night. I've had a couple of super important dates at night. And hello, Midnight Madness Sale at Macy's!" She glanced up at the flashing lights, hoping that didn't draw attention to the redness of her face. "I've just like never gotten all dressed up and gone to a club....with a guy....on a date...."

Brody chuckled and tightened his hold on her hand. "I'm not sure that a sale at Macy's is quite the same. Maybe the Tokyo night life was close." Moving closer to her, he smiled down and brushed her temple with his free hand. He hesitated slightly, before pressing his lips softly against hers.
Pulling back, he smiled crookedly. "Well, I guess you can count this as your first time huh?" Pushing the door open, his ears pounding at the increased volume of the music. Raising his voice, he grinned at her and gestured through the crowd to the bar. "Come on, I'll get you a drink."

Kylie was about to argue that Macy's did count when she felt his lips pressed against hers. It lasted only a few seconds, but it was definitely the highlight of her evening. Completely stunned, but also happily surprised, she stood and looked at him, her green eyes as big as saucers.
Realizing how long she'd been staring at him, she quickly snapped out of her trance and followed him inside. This place was definitely a far cry from the club in Little Tokyo. In fact, it was a far cry from any place she'd ever been before. "Yeah, this is definitely my first time," she said loudly, her ears pounding from the loud music. Worried that she might get lost among the crowd of people, she held on tightly to his hand and nodded at his offer of a drink.

Brody threaded his way through the throng of people, keeping tight hold of Kylie's hand. He knew it was a small town, but he still didn't want to lose her in a crowd of strangers. When he reached the bar, he pulled out his ID and flashed it at the bartender. "One red cruiser and a beer thanks mate."
As the drinks were handed over the bar, he turned back to Kylie with a grin. "Here you go. Need a buzz before we go dance yeah?"
