Enzo relaxed in his seat. He had gotten quite accustomed to the food at the food court since he began working at Bloomingdale's. He even got to know the workers and got discounts. His mind wandered back to the girl he helped get a job. Shaking his head, he scolded himself, I haven't been purposely avoiding Lindsey... He thought. We just have different availability. He told himself confidently. Another voice in his head said otherwise. Who are you kidding? You guys would work together all the time if you went off availability. You're just embarrassed. He rubbed his forehead, stabbing at his food. I can't believe you kissed her! She probably hates you for avoiding her! He stabbed his food more, feeling a faint blush creeping onto his cheeks.

Lindsey was just getting ready to clock out for today. The store seemed to be a lot busier during the holidays than it has when she first started. But, she figured the more hours she put in, the bigger the check she would get. Which is exactly what she needed in order to keep her apartment. She had recently taken over on someone's shift for a week or two due to them being on vacation themselves, and Lindsey was more than happy to take the extra shift. Although, she had been disappointed lately...she's texted Enzo a few times these past weeks, just to see how he was, or if he wanted to grab a coffee or lunch or something, but nothing. It was like they had never met. She hadn't even seen him at work lately. You'd think after that kiss he gave her, he would want to hang out again, but no. Not a word from him, nor a text.
So she headed out to the food court after she clocked out, hoping getting something in her system would calm her down a bit from all that was going on in her head. After grabbing a slice of pizza with a small salad and drink, she carried her tray over in search for a place to just sit down and relax. She noticed a familiar figure at one of the tables then, stabbing at his food. She took a few steps forward to get a better look at him. She was right! She walked the rest of the way to the familiar looking man and stopped in front of him. "Well, hey there stranger. Mind if I sit here?"

Enzo practically jumped before realizing who it was and hiding his blushing face from her. "H-hey..." He awkwardly motioned to the seat across from him. "Go ahead." He all but mumbled. "Sorry I couldn't call you... My uh... my cell phone broke and I haven't been able to replace it." He only half-lied. His cell phone was out of service right now, yes, but it was because Ame took up paying for them and he only paid for his own cell phone at the moment. (He'd have to remember to yell at Ame about it later.) "How... How've you been?" He asked, still seeming awkward.

Lindsey kept her friendly gaze at him and slid into the seat when he motioned her to. She couldn't help but giggle lightly at his stuttering. That kiss must of really done something to him, she thought. "Oh. that's alright. I figured something important like that happened. Don't worry about it." she reassured him, taking a first bite of her salad without taking her shimmering blue eyes off of him. She took a sip of her water before answering his question then, which of course, was stuttered out rather nervously. "I'm been alright. Just got off work right now, so I'm a bit tired..but mostly hungry. How 'bout you? What've you been up to?" she asked in return, grabbing a bite of her pizza next.

Enzo furrowed his eyebrows, "You were working? I thought you didn't work until tomorrow afternoon?" He asked her. Now he really wasn't sure how they avoided each other today. He had come in to work on schedules after he was done with his morning shift, he didn't realize he had been in the office for so long. He took some bites of his food, trying to stop himself from just staring at her. Please don't ask about the kiss... Let this conversation go on forever... Please... He begged to anyone listening.

Lindsey shook her head. "My schedule got switched with someone else. Well, as far as I know, temporarily." she explained, taking another small bite of her salad followed by a sip of her water. "They called me in last week, wondering if I could fill in for someone temporarily, and I couldn't say no. I could use all the hours I could get at this point. I'm surprised I haven't seen you around actually. Even when I do try to look for you, its like you're playing keep-a-way or something." she grinned, giggling softly.

Enzo forced a smile, "Right... Sorry..." He muttered, looking at his food. Feeling his blush grow brighter, he gathered his courage. "Are you free right now, then? Did you... do you want to go on a date?" He asked, the last part of his question seeming to fade out.

"Oh, no its fine." Lindsey almost waved her hand up right away, reassuring him it really was fine. "You didn't know, in fact, that was one of the things I wanted to tell you when I texted you a few times. It's fine though, I understand." she smiled reassuringly, returning back to her pizza. Although, after that one bite, she nearly swallowed the wrong way when Enzo asked her that question. That question she's secretly been waiting for from him. "Oh. Yeah. Yeah, sure. I'd love to go on a date with you? I mean, unless you don't count this as part of the date..right?" she teased lightly with a small laugh, just to lighten up the atmosphere a bit for him.

Enzo let out a light laugh, then shook his head, "It can start after we eat." He offered. He wanted to surprise her, as since last time he hadn't been able to afford a car yet. Recently (thanks to Ame getting that second job-was he going to lecture Ame or thank him when he got home?) he had been able to find an affordable car and this time, he would be able to drive her to whatever date spot they chose. He finished up his meal, playing with some uneaten food on his plate, still acting shy.

"Sounds good to me." Lindsey commented, slipping out a light giggle, before taking another bite of pizza followed by a sip of water. She couldn't help but keep her eyes somewhat on Enzo though. Seeing how shy he was towards her, it sort of made her like him even more. He was just so cute. She managed to give him a bit of a wider smile before returning back to what was left of her food. "So...where was it were you thinking of taking me?" she asked curiously, pushing her empty tray aside, leaving only her water to finish now.

"Um." Enzo began, not having thought of what to say before he began speaking. "Honestly I have no clue." He admitted with a sheepish laugh. "Was there anything you had in mind?" He asked her.

"Hm..well, we could see a movie." she suggested first. "You know, something simple. Or we could just drive down to the park and just, walk around or something. That's always nice too." she smiled, not really knowing what she wanted to do either. Just as long as they were hanging out together again, she was happy.

Enzo smiled, "The park is nice this time of year, isn't it?" He asked. He knew "nice" didn't necessarily mean warm sun and green leaves, but something about the look of a park in winter, he really liked. "I have a car now." He slightly bragged, looking proud, but also making it obvious he was playing around.

"It is." Lindsey nodded with a sweet grin. She personally preferred a walk around the park. Even if it was a little cold out, she would at least have someone to snuggle with during the walk. "Oh. Really?" her eyes widened with excitement for him. "That's great! What kind of car do you have?" she could tell he was bragging to her just a bit, but that only made her giggle. Seeing him puff out his chest, feeling proud, it was cute to her.

Enzo smiled, "Then the park it is." He said simply. He let out a small laugh as she asked what type of car it was. " A 1990's joke," He replied with a laugh. "It's runs and can get me from point a to point b."
