{What can I say?}I'm a romantic

[Whit {is great}]

Whit walked onto the beach with Evan still by his side. He beamed at her, they just made it in time for the sun set. When they reached the sand, Whit pulled of his shoes, and mulit-colored socks. He held them in one hand, and the picnic basket in the other. "Where would you like to sit, m'lady?" He asked Evan and he looked around at the empty beach.

He was surprised nobody else was there. The weather was perfect, and the tide was out so there was no worry of the ocean taking away their picnic.

Evan grinned out at the sunset. It was a perfect evening, the perfect timing. She walked out onto the sand and slipped her flip flops off, letting her slender feet sink a bit into the sand. She looked over to Whit with a smile. "Anywhere is fine." she said, holding her shoes in one hand as a breeze blew through her hair. She closed her eyes and smiled.

The simple things in life were always the best. With no one else there, it made it even more simple. Evan was glad there was no sight of any other people. All they did was get in the way.

[Whit {is great}]

"Okay." Whit said to her softly as he watched her enjoy herself. Now, he hadn't felt anything like this before, how he felt about her, but he wasn't sure how deep his feelings went. He thought that it was too soon to be feeling like this, or maybe it was all in his head. But no matter, he pushed the thoughts from his mind and he got the blanket out of the basket and he spread the blanket evenly out and set the blanket next to it.

He sat next to the basket on the blanket and tapped the spot next to him for her to sit, "Join me?" He asked in accumpiment with his tap. He couldn't stop grinning all the while.

[↑ELISE↓]

The breeze had stopped. Evan opened her brown eyes and smiled once again. She was evry happy to be here. Especially with someone like Whit. She glanced over at him setting up ther blanket and grinned. She defiently felt something for him. Eh, what could you do? she was a hopeless romantic.

Evan walked over to Whit and smiled as he sat down. "Of course." she said, sitting down next to him. She grinned and watched the waves. They soothed her.

[Whit {is great}]

Whit stayed silent as he watch her, he knew he was staring, but what was he supposed to do? He didn't want to ruin the mood by talking, and staring at the water with out talking would make it seem like he was ignoring her. Though, he was just probably thinking too much.

He stopped watching her long enough to get the food and radio out after he set the food out, he went back in the basket and set the candles on top of the empty basket. He then lite them, "So I've got strawberries, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, ham sandwichs, apples, and a few banannas." He said as he listed off all of the main foods he brought. It wasn't much, but what'd you expect by a 19 year old guy living alone? Wine and lobster?

[↑ELISE↓]

Evan could feel Whit staring at her. Not that she minded or felt uncomfortable. So many men did that anyway, she got used to it. Although when older guys did it, she felt a bit creeped out. She met his eyes and smiled at him. "Thank you already. This is so beautiful and thoughtful." she said to him.

She watched Whit pull out all the food and she smiled. Nothing fancy, which was good. Despite being a model, Evan didn't enjoy complex too fancy things. "Yumm. This is great." she said. The best part was, this meal wouldn't cost them a dime.

[Whit {is great}]

Whit grinned, "Well you're welcome." He replied with a laugh, he really did want to just lean over and plant one right on her, but that'd be moving to fast. And he didn't kiss on the first date, unless he knew the girl before hand. In this case, he didn't. Whit took a strawberry and he ate it, they were his favorite and he wanted to get at least one in.

"So what's you're favorite food?" He asked her with a laugh as he took up a napkin and wiped his chin where strawberry juice had dripped. Boy, that's attractive, he cursed himself mentally as he grinned at her to cover his embarrasment.

[↑ELISE↓]

Evan smiled over at Whit. He was so cute. She was excited for this date. She hadn't been on one in the longest time and needed a good reawakening. Boys were one of her favroite interests, but she never really had a lot of time for them. Now that she had some free time, until her mother found her a job, Evan could enjoy the simple things in life for a while.

Evan grinned at Whit. Not everyone was perfect, even though it seemed like it sometimes. "Well, I like french fries. And nachos." she said. "Is that bad for a model? I mean, most people expect like salads and stuff." she explained, then shrugged. She grabbed a strawberry and ate it daintily.

[Whit {is great}]

Whit grinned back at her, and now wished he had floss. But Whit forgot about it and ate another strawberry. He swalloed and managed not to get any strawberry juice anywhere. "Grr." Whit growled, "These things are so messy!" He laughed.

He then glanced at the rest of the food, "You know, I'm not all that hungry." He commented grinning, he was too nervous to eat.

[↑ELISE↓]

Evan smiled. "I know they are. But they are so good!" she said, taking another one and eating it. No food on her. Her mother had taught her well with that. She laughed and finished it, looking out to the sunset.

"I'm a bit hungry. Not that much though. I don't eat a lot anyway." she said, glancing over at Whit. Evan pulled crossed her legs and smiled.

[Whit {is great}]

Whit grinned, and he picked up a pb&j sandwich. "Just don't get an eating disorder alright?" He asked her with a laugh, not eating much was okay. Lu didn't eat much, or at least before the baby, and she was just fine. But an eating disorder? That wasn't the greatest thing to have on your shoulders.

He took a bite of the sandwich and he looked over to the sunset. It was beautiful, and Evan looked better then the sun did. Also, the water looked very tempting. "How about a swim, and then we can finish eating?" He laughed, and stood up. He then held out a hand to help her up.

[↑ELISE↓]

Evan smiled. "I won't." she promised. What a generic stereotype. All models have eating disorders. So wrong. But she didn't correct him. She took a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and took a few bites. "Yumm." she said, with a smile.

"The sunset is beautiful." she commented lookign at the sunset, then to Whit. He looked so handsome. "A swim? Okay." she said, being a daredevil. She took Whit's hand and stood up. She grinned.

[Whit {is great}]

What Whit ment by getting an eating disorder was her not eating much, not the fact that she was a model. He hoped that didn't bother her. He then headed towards the water with her hand still in his. When they reached the water he let go of her hand and pulled off his jacket.

"How well at swimming are you?" He asked her with a laugh. He didn't want this to become uncomfertable so he said anything that came to his mind. He was just glad it was nothing weird.

[↑ELISE↓]

Evan pulled off her jacket and set it on a log near the water, but made sure it was far away enough that the water wouldn't reach it. She smiled and dipped her toes in the water. A wave came up and engulfed her whole feet.

"I'm a good swimmer." she replied with a smile, looking up at Whit. She wasn't really all that nervous about swimming like some. She loved the water.

[Whit {is great}]

"Okay." He told her with a grin as he pulled off his shirt to reveal his toned torso. He was just going to swim in his jeans, he kinda wanted to just swim in his boxers but he didn't know her that well; and totally stripping on the first date wasn't something he does often. Or rather ever.

He then started to walk in, but he laughed and ran back out. "That's cold!" He pointed to the water and he hugged Evan so she'd get the cold from him.
