Working late (Open)

[luke]

^{"I would love to!" Stephen said, a slight sign of relief escaped him and he bit his lip. "We could just go out for a quick dinner." he looked at the clock, it was 10 to five, 10 minutes more.
"I've only got ten minutes left." he said and glanced towards Ryuu, "do you want anything else?" he asked him.}

[Ryuu James]

^{Ryuu downed the last of the coffee(only a little bit, as he'd spilt most of it) and stood up, straightening out his shirt.
"Nope, I'm done," he smiled, and streatched his arms up, leaving the shop with a jaunty walk.}

[Carmen James]

"Okay then. Where should we eat at?" she asked him. She then turned to Ryuu who was still standing there. She smiled and waved at him as he left.

<sup>Stephen relaxed and went round to get the empty cup. "I dunno, do you know anywhere?" he asked her, looking back at her and washing the cup up quickly as he did so. He then looked at the clock on the wall, it was just turning five.

"Thank god!" he said grinning and grabbing his coat, switching all the machines and then started towards the door.</sup>

[Carmen James]

Carmen thought for a moment before shaking her head 'no'. "I spend most of my time in the library, I have the tendency to read a lot so I don't come to town often. I should though, learn where everything is." she said. "We could just walk around until we find a place." Carmen suggested.

[luke]

^{"Ok, we can walk." he held the door open for her so she could go through and switched the OPEN sign to CLOSED. He waited til she went through and shut the door behind her.}

[Carmen James]

Carmen smiled at him as he held the door open for her and walked out. She stopped asnd waited as he switched the sign and closed the door. "Which way should we walk?" she asked him.

[luke]

^{Stephen looked around, couples were working towards the centre of town. "How about we take the park route." he muttered, taking her hand, "it is quicker and I think I know a good resturant that way." the park route wasn't threw the park it was along a road, but Stephen called it that.
"Its this way." he said, walking left down a street, holding her hand.}

[Carmen James]

"Okay I'll follow you, I don't know where is much around here. Like I said I should come to town more often." she said laughing at herself. Carmen smiled as he grabbed her hand and slightly blushed.

[luke]

^{They walked along the street lit street, Stephen finally found the place he had been looking for. "See, told you it wouldn't take too long." he said, it was a nice little resturant in the middle of town, it had just opened for the evening so not many people were in there yet.
"Would you like to go here?" he asked her.}

[Carmen James]

Carmen looked up at the resturant, not a picky person she nodded her head. "Sure it works for me." she said. "Plus many people aren't here."

[luke]

^{Stephen nodded and opened the door, holding it open for her and walked in. A waitress came up to them.
"We would like to eat in, table for two." he smiled at the waitress who nodded and set them down at a table near the window, it was dimmly lit with candles.}

[Carmen James]

"Thank you." said Carmen, as Stephen held the door open for her. They followed the hostess to their table. "Well this is a cute little place. I never knew it was here." she said.

[luke]

^{"No, not many do, it doesn't get that much attention, what with all the other places around here, but it serves good food." Stephen said, handing her a menu and looked down at his, "There is so much here, I dunno what to choose." his eyes searching over the list of food and drink. "Their pizza is great, and their pasta." he said looking up at her. "I'll pay, I have the money."}

[Carmen James]

Sarah took the menu and started looking over everything. She looked up at Stephen when he said he'd pay. "Are you sure? I don't mind paying for my half." she said.
