the whole of the idea that had been proposed to her was intriguing , and it did take her a while to consider this before she agreed. she did appreciate the help in all of this , in coming to terms and being comfortable with social interactions , so it didn’t take that long for her to give an answer.
a practice date , he called it , one with no feelings involved. it would just be conversation that would transpire among humans , both of the female and the male gender.
fellow humans ?
female and male gender ?
maybe this is why people don’t want to talk to her , and she didn’t blame them. she has her notebook , knocking on his door as she awaits him to allow her in.
she was nervous , so very anxious about all of this.
oh , this was awkward. she gazes down at the hand she was extended with wide and even fearful eyes , her face paling as she goes over her options. he would not see her making a decision against this as rude , though still. what brought this on ? they had just been in his living room talking , and then he near leapt off the couch , and now ? she is so confused , and she could not imagine anything that would be as sudden as this was. she gnaws on her bottom lip as she raises her perplexed attention to him , unsure what to say.
“ w---what ... u--um ....i do not b--beli--believe this w---would be the b--best idea. “ she responds , as she has , what it is called , two left feet.
she was too much in her own mind , and since she has been in the real world and not kept in isolation , she has been striving as hard as she could to be in reality , and interact and behave like one would who has been acquainted with society all along. she was very much someone who shows everything she is feeling , everything she is pondering and wondering ; it all plays out on her face , right there for all to see , to get a peek into where she is in her thought process if they wished to know. she was not that well versed at expressing things every single time , hitting the mark on what she is exactly within her spectrum of emotions. she wonders if when she does not say much if he thinks she is shutting down , or that she is doing this on purpose ; she would never ! she just didn’t want to misspeak , even if it would not be bad , or insulting as she would have initially thought.
she would do what she could to better get this across , and what certain things she did meant , though the execution of this could be not the best , and it would all be even the more muddled and unclear. she wishes she can , though how can she when she was unable to put the pieces together herself ?
she giggles again when he speaks , actually in a very pleasant state of mind now that they got all of this out in the open and discussed this. “ of c---course , we all h---have a r---right to our o---opin---opinion. “ she agrees , smiling a bit wider at him. he was much too good to her , and she wonders if she would ever be able to pay him back or even begin to compensate him for this. she does what she can to calm her head from its pounding , her face scrunching up as the throbs come more and more frequently. when he returns , she gazes up at him and the offerings of the beverage and the variety of flavors. she gives a small nod in thanks , meeting his eyes across the other side of the table.
“ t---this all l--looks so n---nice. “ she comments as she sifts through the small packets with the tea bags in them , reading the labels and what is in them. they all appear so fascinating , the different make ups of each so unique. she did not find this to be as difficult as most things she has to come to an agreement on , and she is glad ; why give herself more of a headache over something like this ? at his comment , she opens the teabag that bears the label green tea and puts it in the cup. “ i m---mean , the c----conce---concept of a---add---adding f---flav---flavor to w---water is the s---same p---proc--process , and b--both come from s---some---somewhat of the same s---source ; one being b--beans , the other l---leav---leaves .... “ she muses as she utilizes the string to dunk the bag a few times.
“ i w---will , p---prom---promise. “ she states , lifting one hand and holding out her pinkie for him to take ; she saw this somewhere , and she thought maybe he knows what it is. if not , she could explain something to him , and that idea was nice. she takes her other hand to bring the mug by the handle to her lips. as she soaks in his company and the silence , she finds she cannot wipe the smile off her face. the comment causes her eyes to widen , her smile as bright as can be. “ r---really ? “ she asks , taking another sip of her tea so he does not think she is being odd. “ my a---apolo---apologies. “ she flushes as she somewhat hides behind the cup.
// @lockhart-junior asked for the relationship meme ! //
// Send ⭐️ (or multiple) for a headcanon about our muses. //
1 ) valerie is very interested in so many things that she asks so many questions for jack that she feels horrible not only for the number of questions she has , though also how he has to keep putting up with her broken stutter.
2 ) i know it says one for each star , though this goes along with the first one. so , going along with the fact with how many things she inquires about , she writes them down and hands him the paper the next time she sees him so he can see what she wants to ask , though he doesn’t have to withstand her stuttering.
// Send ☎ for your muse’s info in my muses phone (name, ringtone, picture, last text received/sent) //
name : jack :)
ringtone : she does not know how to change the ringtone , so she has one that sounds like a doorbell.
picture :
{ she didn’t want to be in the picture , but he insisted , so she got in it , and he seems to have smiled even more ... }
last text received : { text } { received } jack :) - so , i thought that maybe we should construct something , a list of things to do. it’s known as a bucket list.
last text sent : { text } { sent } jack :) - that sounds intriguing , should i come prepared with ideas ?

“ oh , g---good---goodness , i r--real---really t---tho---thought this w--would be a good idea , t---tho---though this is w---why i n---never h--have ideas ... “ valerie sighs , knowing her jacket was too small for him , though he could hold it over his head. she shrugs it off , handing it to him.
// Send 💰 for your muse to ask mine for money. //
valerie is quick to pull out any money she has , laying it on the table. “ of c---course , h--how m--much ? i can g---get m---more if you n--need , a---anyt---anything. “ valerie agrees as she begins to count how much she has and put it into order.
// Send 👀 for my muse to compliment yours //
“ y--you h---have so much to g---give , and are s---such a g---great f---frien---friend , and i do h---hope that we w---will be so for a l---long t---time. “ she smiles shyly.
“Sure. I’d like that,” Opal responded to her boyfriend with a shy smile from her lips. “But it’s my treat since I asked to go out. I’m just craving a huge pile of fries all of a sudden.” Her news nonetheless was shocking but it’s not like she could keep quiet let alone hidden. But for now, she wanted to enjoy herself. She hadn’t seen Jack in quite sometime and it was by time for a date.
“Do you mind if we walk? It’s nice out and the diner isn’t that far anyways...” Was she purposely quiet? Not really, however she just didn’t know how to approach the subject of being a mom. Opal hadn’t expected it, but that’s what happened when two people had amateur sex (despite how amazing it ended up being). But they were in love... so it shouldn’t be so bad, right? Grabbing Jack’s hand to intertwine and walk with, she wrapped her other hand around his forearm to snuggle against him awhile they walked. Opal was very affectionate and she couldn’t help it.But she had heard no complaints.
“Now don’t you be stealing my fries babe... they’re all mine.” Opal teased as she kissed his cheek and giggled softly.
