Nolan borrowed Kyle's Honda CR-V, and headed to Avery's house, smelling like soap and deodorant. He didn't wear cologne, because it made his eyes water, but he figured that he at least smelled decent.
He was wearing a plain black shirt, baggy semi-clean jeans, and white sneakers. He pulled up outside her apartment and parked the small SUV, before heading to the main entrance.

She was nervous. So, so nervous. It was silly, she'd had dinner with him before, and he didn't seem to think this date thing was a big deal, but she was still nervous. As she curled her hair after her shower, she burned her hand. And the heel of her shoe broke off, so she was wearing flats now. She was nervous because she actually liked him, but she didn't know... well, didn't know how he felt. She put on her jeans shorts, the shortest ones she had, since she knew that he wasn't on the bike. Her shirt was lower cut than she would normally wear - one of those really trendy tank tops that had really low cut arms and fronts that she wore a bandeau with. It was casual enough that she didn't look dressed up, but hot enough that he would be pleased. The buzzer went and she buzzed him up, grabbing her keys and purse from her hook. She opened the door, waiting for him to get up to her apartment.

He climbed the stairs, struck by just how different their apartment buildings were. He took the stairs two at a time, and walked to her apartment, cracking a smile as he saw her in the doorway. "Hey, pretty thing." He said, widening his grin to show off his metal inserts. He walked right up to her and kissed her hello, letting his arm linger around her waist. "How you been? You look good."

Avery was overjoyed. Not only had he kissed her, but he had called her pretty thing, and told her she looked good. "Busy" She answered, wrapping her arms around him, kissing him again. "How have you been?"

"I'm alright." He said, enjoying the fact that she never seemed able to keep her hands off of him. "Better now that we're going out. I'm starving though. You about ready to blow this joint?" He asked, cocking his head to the side.

She nodded. "Why'd you have such a bad day?" Avery asked, pulling away from him to close and lock the door. Her actions were to inform him she was ready, and she smiled at him as she slid her much smaller hand into his.

He laced his fingers in hers as they moved out toward the car. "Ehh. Just a long day, and a very unhappy client. He wants a bike built in a way that's... impossible to build. So he's sitting there screaming at me because I can't design it a certain way, and he thinks if he just throws money at me, I can pull it out of my ass." He opened the door leading outside. "Blue Honda CR-V." He said, nodding at the car.

It was times like these that Avery wished she knew more about bikes. But she supposed it would be enough to just listen. "Sounds awful. People are jerks" She murmured, letting him lead her.

"People can suck." He said, shaking his head. "But we can put that behind us and just have fun tonight. This place I know is a total hole in the wall, but it's awesome food." He unlocked the car and headed over to his side.

She climbed into the little suv, buckling up and then leaning closer to him, laying her hand on his inner thigh. "Thanks for all of this," She said slowly, not sure how to breach the subject of this being a real date. She was still nervous, even though him holding her hand had made her feel better briefly.

It seemed like as soon as he sat, she had her hand dangerously close to his member. "Hey. No problem." He murmured, kissing her quick before turning on the car. "Thanks for... asking me out?" He shifted enough to take his wallet out of his back pocket, and placed it in a cupholder.

"I didn't think you'd say yes," Avery admitted, biting her lip and looking down at her own lap quickly. It was silly, she guessed, but she worried that he wouldn't think her good for anything but sex.

She was right. He thought for a few moments before responding. "Well..." He stopped at a red light. "I don't know. You're like this cute little college girl, and I'm me? I just thought we were banging, and that was all you wanted?"
