Confessions (Chad and Bebe)

[Bebe Tenko]

Bebe shivered, even though the night was sticky and humid. Why was she even out here? Oh yes, that's right, her note. She said she'd meet Chad out here at seven. Bebe checked her watch. 6:45. Why'd she get out here so early? Adrenaline. Definitely nervous anticipation.
That also explained her outfit choice: a periwinkle-colored dress with a minorly plunging neckline, black leggings, her martial arts flats, a woven black belt with a huge silver buckle on her hips, and her candy blue watch. Bebe looked at herself and sighed loudly.
So WHOSE brilliant idea was it to dress like Jennifer Beals in Flashdance?! Oh - MINE! Bebe thought angrily. She was just glad her hair had managed to go into a normal style. THe normally spiky hair was now lying above her shoulders in a conservative bob.
Bebe had grown ridiculously twitchy in the meantime. She was recalling everything she wrote in her note: Dear Chad, you probably don't know who I am, but I've been in love with you for a long time. I'm afraid that if I tell you who I am here, you won't hear me out completely... meet me on the golf course at seven tonight. Love an admirer.
Bebe frowned. Hopefully I didn't come off as a raving lunatic.

Chad bounded away from the kitchen, throwing his apron somewhere in the direction of the laundry. Yes! Finished for the day! He'd clocked out a minute ago and was now looking forward to going home and ... doing whatever it was he felt like!

Ha! Freedom felt so good! Home, a place where he didn't have to obey anyone but his mother (but she was out that evening anyway) and didn't have to call any evil someone's "Miss Evans". Eww.

He glanced at his watch. 7:07. What was it that he was meant to do at seven? He stopped as he passed the golf course. Oh yeah! He was supposed to be meeting... uh... Bebe? Yeah, that was it!

A quick hand through his hair and he glanced around, looking for the girl. He couldn't help but wonder why she'd chosen the golf course. She could be anywhere!

"Oi, Bebe!" He called, hoping that she'd hear him and locate him, instead of him having to go search. He really wanted to go home.

[Bebe Tenko]

Bebe whipped around. That voice - he didn't blow her off! He really wanted to hear what she had to say! Amazing!
Bebe would have skipped around, but that would have only forced the Flashdance look even further. Instead, she called back out, "CHAD! I'M OVER HERE!" After realizing that over here was a rather vague term, she added, "BY THE FOURTH FAIRWAY!"
Bebe leaned against a golf-ball cleaner, waiting with a bemused smile for Chad.

[cyelena]

Chad grinned when he heard Bebe's voice calling out over the gold course. After a moment of searching around with his eyes, he saw her over by the fourth hole. He jogged over to her, flicking his hair out of his eyes as he did so. Baywatch, much?

"Sup?" He said, grinning at her.

[Bebe Tenko]

"...Not much..." she managed to spit out.
Wow. That was so... Baywatch, Bebe thought with a grin. Here it came, the moment of truth:
"Chad... I know you don't really know me, but..." Bebe gulped. Great. NOT a good time to lose her focus. FOCUS! "...I feel like I need to tell you. I like you. A lot."
Bebe looked directly into his eyes. "Do you... maybe... can you see yourself dating me...?"

[cyelena]

Um, that was weird. Bebe liked him? Did they ever even talk that much? She was hot and all, but it was still a very big surprise. And Chad Danforth was only ever surprised when Troy started singing, and when Troy started dating feaky math girls. It was like, as weird as he and Taylor dating! Except, well, Bebe wasn't Taylor. But still!

"Uh... " He didn't have a clue what to say to this. But he didn't want to hurt her though. Not even nerds deserved to be hurt. They just... didn't deserve his attention. But she wasn't a nerd anyway, so she at least deserved some of his, right?

"Did you have anything in mind?" He asked, raising his eyebrows.

[Bebe Tenko]

Bebe flinched. Oh God. He was searching. She could tell. That's what happened with Ryan and the accidental kiss. Chad was SEARCHING FOR WORDS.
Crap crap crap CRAP CRAP... Bebe thought desperately. She hoped that this thought wasn't shooting out of her forehead like a projectile missle, and instead focused on the advice Emma had given her - just do it.
Bebe swallowed her spit. "What do I have in mind?"
Bebe paused.
"...How about we start with if you... like me back...?"
Bebe finished the sentence and immediately regretted it. TOO BLUNT TOO BLUNT! She shivered a little. This was going... remarkably bad.

[cyelena]

She was being blunt. Chad had to say that he liked that in a girl. He was known to be blunt often too. He smiled at her, hoping it didn't seem weak. Confident smiles were more his thing.

"Uh well, I barely know you, so it'd be kind dumb to base a relationship on not knowing someone." He shoved his hands in his pockets, feeling suddenly embarrassed and nervous. He wasn't sure why, but he was. He didn't want to hurt her and really, he didn't see any harm in all of this.

"But," he said slowly, trying not to be as tactless as he had been with Taylor. Man, that had totally sucked. Just because he was gorgeous and talented didn't mean he was good with the whole... relationship thing. "we could always go out a few times and see where things go from there?" He offered, raising his eyebrows and smiling confidently.

[Bebe Tenko]

Bebe's face went from terrified to ecstatic. She tried very hard to contain herself, but it was becoming extremely hard. For once in her short life, Jacob wasn't an issue.
"Maybe. Maybe we should," Bebe nodded emphatically. "Yeah, we should!"
A lump suddenly rose in Bebe's throat. "Oh, but... you work and employees... crap." Swimming was out. As was golf. Movie nights... "...We'd have to break a few rules to do stuff like that..."

[cyelena]

Chad laughed as her face changed from scared to... happy. It was kind of cute and something he could get used to. He had no choice but to return the grin, glad to have put the smile there.

"Since when has it been illegal to see a movie? We don't have to go out here do we? Come on, just relax." Now that the hard stuff was over and it was clear that Chad wasn't going to hurt her (he blamed his mother for that sensitivity) he felt cool and calm, like he almost always was.

"I don't have a car yet, but do you wanna meet up somewhere on Saturday night?" He'd be working that morning, but hey, it would be something to look forward to. Even if Bebe and he weren't good as a couple, they could still be friends, right?

[Bebe Tenko]

"Of course! Movies are good," Bebe realized. Now her brain had disconnected completely from her body and her mouth. "So... Saturday at... six? I hear that Hairspray is pretty good." Bebe blinked. "If you like musicals. If you don't, we can see something else..." Babble, babble, babble.
Bebe smoothed out a fold in her dress. "Yeah, Saturday. Sounds good!" She smiled warmly, being ever so grateful. "Thank you, Chad."

[cyelena]

Why was everyone around him in love with musicals? His mother, his best friends, and now, his potential girlfriend. It was disturbing!

"Probably not Hairspray." Chad told her bluntly. "That whole singing and dancing thing kind of weirds me out. But, if there's nothing else on, I suppose it'll have to do. Doesn't it have that guy in it who looks like Troy or something?"

Still, her happiness was infectious. She seemed so... thrilled at this. Well, of course! She was going out with the one and only Chadmeister, so why wouldn't she be!

[Bebe Tenko]

"He DOES kind of look like Troy," Bebe marveled, "and thank GOD you don't want to see that. I thought since, well, you're Troy's friend, you must like musicals..." Bebe laughed. "I kind of want to see... that one movie. 3:10 to Yuma. Or we could see Ratatouille, I mean, if you like animation... that's my favorite movie, actually. Whatever you want to do." Bebe grinned at him.

"Chad... I thought you were going to flip a bitch when I told you I liked you. That's what most guys do... I'm so glad I decided to take a chance."

[cyelena]

Chad grinned down at her. "Either one sounds good. Just as long as there is no singing and stuff like that. I get enough of that here, let alone when I'm going out." He shook his head as if in disappointment.

"Why would I flip a ... a bitch?" That was an odd statement and one he'd never heard before. But he was glad to see Bebe didn't mind a bit of coarse language; he didn't have the cleanest mouth himself. "I know a good thing when I see it," He still wasn't sure if this relationship thing was going to work, but who knew? He was taking a chance here too. And if he was lucky, he'd be able to get some making out in on the side.

"So," He said, putting an arm around her shoulder and leading her off the golf course, more comfortable with her than he'd realised "I have some time to fill in. Wanna do something right now? My mom's at least half an hour away."

[Bebe Tenko]

"What do you have in mind?" Bebe shivered apprehensively as Chad put his arm around her. This was... new. "Because... I don't care. Whatever you want to do."

Bebe was enjoying this far too much, she found. But something seized her, and she gently took Chad's hand. "So... what'd'ya have in mind...?"
