Christopher sat at a table for two in an upscale restaurant and waited impatiently for his date to arrive for lunch. His mother had decided that he had spent far too long "philandering about" and that it was time for him to settle down with a "reputable woman," and so she had set up this meeting for him. He wasn't so thrilled with the idea, but he did know the young lady was from a rich family, and that it would be disastrous for his family's reputation if he were to stand her up. So he showed up... but only to let her down gently.

Lilian stepped out of her car, giving a small smile to her family's driver. "Thank you, Archie. I will be out in about an hour or so." She turned, quickly making her way into the restaurant. He hair was pulled up into its usual bun and she wore a nice forest green dress that went down just below her knees. She scanned the table a nervously, wondering how long it would take for this particular guy to turn her down.

Chris looked up when he saw a plump, unimposing young woman walk into the restaurant, looking somewhat lost. Was that her..? She didn't scream of the sophistication and class his mother raved about, but her dress certainly was high-quality... and the pearls she wore around her neck appeared to be real. He stood and smiled gently in her direction, figuring he could always sit down again if it wasn't the Miss Branom he was supposed to be meeting.

She turned her focus to the standing man, him having caught her attention. He was remarkably good looking and she suddenly began feeling like nothing, like a small insignificant ant approaching a grand butterfly. She smiled shyly. "Hello... You must be my date. I am Lilian Branom."

He smiled gently back to her and nodded. "Pleasure to meet you, Miss Branom. I'm Christopher Alden. Please, have a seat."

She sat down, crossing her legs at the ankles. She smiled again, trying desperately to hide her insecurities. "I didn't keep you waiting for too long, did I?"

He gently scooted her chair into the table, then sat across from her. "Not at all. I arrived early."

She nods. "Well, it is nice to meet you, Mr. Alden. My mother spoke very highly of you."

"Oh?" he remarked, stopping himself from commenting on how unexpected that was. He hadn't had the best reputation for the past several years, after all, not since high school. Well, in any case, he supposed that Mrs. Branom could either be ignorant or lying to her daughter. "My mother also spoke well of you. I suppose it is the two of them we have to thank for this rendezvous, after all."

"Yes, I suppose so." She smiled again briefly before going to look at the menu. She became quiet as she tried to hide her face with it sneakily, incredibly nervous and growing a little bit sad, knowing that he will inevitably let her down.

Chris also looked to the menu briefly, somewhat curious as to why she hadn't seemed to have taken to him the way most women usually did. She already knew he was wealthy and well-bred, after all, and he was certain that his appearance hadn't gone unnoticed. Perhaps she was simply shy? He began to forget his original intentions of letting her down easily as he realized that it would perhaps be an interesting challenge to try to make her fawn over him the way other girls seemed to do instinctually. Was it cruel? Perhaps. But, then again, a girl like that couldn't really expect much anyway, and she might enjoy a little bit of attention.

She scanned over the menu for a while before closing it gently. She was very hungry and enjoyed eating a lot, but would just order a salad then eat when she got home. She would be sad enough to eat her feelings anyways.

He set his menu aside as soon as she had closed hers, and smiled over to her charmingly. "I hope there are options to your taste here."

"There are plenty, thank you." She smiled softly, taking a sip of her water. "So tell me about yourself."

"Well... I suppose you're asking for a general list of likes and dislikes, or perhaps a hobby or what I studied in school?" he chuckled softly. "I'm not as interesting as some. I enjoy cricket, and equestrian sport, and I studied business in university. Rather than talk about me, I'd love to hear about you."

She tilted her head, but quickly nodded. "Well, I enjoy reading and writing. My dream is to have my own book someday. I'm not very social, but I do enjoy taking a monthly trip to the London art museum."

"What subjects do you prefer to read about?" he asked cordially.

"Oh, I enjoy works of fiction that provoke deeper thought. I could also read about art forever..." She grinned happily.

"Do you also create art, or do you prefer to study and observe?"

"I paint quite a bit. My mother disapproves so she hides my canvases quite often, so I've taken to painting my walls."

He grinned and replied, "I'd love to see your paintings at some point."

"Really? Well then, I would love to show you. Perhaps over tea?"

"That would be lovely," he responded immediately. It was working. She was finally opening up.

She smiled softly as the waitress came over. "Good evening, you two. Can I get you any wine or champagne to start?"

He smiled politely to the waitress. "Do you have any recommendations for a nice merlot?"

Post by HerWhisperIsTheLucifer on Mar 20, 2018 22:35:18 GMT -5
She nodded and gave him her recommendations, Lily tuning them out completely. She didn't care for wine, but she figured that he probably did, so she kept quiet.

"I'll take a glass of the first, then," he said simply, then turned to Lily. "Miss Branom, would you like a glass as well?"
