William listened to what sort of music she liked to listen to. She sure had a lot of different tastes, just like him. "I don't necessarily hate Rap and hip hop, but just don't understand it most of the time. I need to hear and feel the lyrics being sung, and the music needs to be good too. At the moment I am into a lot of country and rock music. Love anything that can drag me into the song, so to speak." William truly loved his music, and always made sure that his iPod was always with him.
When Nikos arrived with their orders, William noticed him wink at Debbie, wondering what they had going on. The thought soon went, as William grabbed some sugar to put in his cappacino. Here he stirred it in, and then began to scoop the foam off, placing a spoonful in his mouth. William continued this until all the foam was gone. William always did this, never wanting it to be left on his upper lip when he drank it. He took a sip from the cup, and returned his attention back to Debbie.
"So, Debbie, do you normally take strangers out for a drink? Or you just thankful for the help before? I probably would have done the same. I wonder what your assistant manager will think when you tell them that they helped you meet someone." William knew he was rambling, and soon picked up his muffin, and took a bite.

Debbie nodded her head in agreement as William spoke about not being able to understand rap or hip hop most of the time. That was pretty much why Debbie hated it, she liked to have a reason for listening to a song, because she loved singing along, even if she wasn't as good a singer as her brother, she just got a kick out of singing along, and it had to be a song she could hold a tune to. You couldn't do that with rap or hip hop. "Exactly, tha's basically wha' am tryin' to say maself, I love songs tha' can pull me in, like it's a love story." Debbie explained, and then blushed at her reasoning for enjoying a good song. She had to mention the word love didn't she.
Debbie could have killed Nikos for winking at her, instead of trying to get her and William together, he was more likely to send William packing, thinking she had something going on with Nikos when the truth was, they were just good friends because she drank in here all the time.
Debbie took a sip from her cappuccino and a bite of her muffin before William spoke to her again. She almost choked on her bite of muffin at his question, had it really been that obvious that she was trying to get to know him better? She just hoped she wasn't looking too desperate for company in her life. She swallowed and took another sip of her cappuccino before answering. "I guess am not in the habit of invitin' strangers for a drink, but well ya helped me afore an' I realised tha' I wanted to get to know ya more, I think I might be..." But she didn't finish off her sentence, she realised she might be saying too much and she definitely didn't want to chase him away before she got a chance to get to know him more.

William liked how Debbie described the music she loved to listen to. Sounds like she might be good at writing lyrics. He made sure to make a note of things that she said that sounded good to him. He had mentioned about not having inspiration, maybe she saw his after all.
As soon as William asked her the question, she looked like she was about to choke on her bite of muffin. "I'm so sorry. I should have waited until you finished your mouthful." He watched as Debbie finished, and then sipped her drink. It was nice that she took him out because he had helped her earlier. Though as she kept talking, Debbie didn't finish her sentence, wondering what she was going to say. "Well, since you want to get to know me, I might as well get to know you too." William smiled at Debbie, and then took a mouthful of his drink.
"So, have you lived here long?" He felt he was finding it hard to think of questions to ask, but this one had popped into his head. He heard from the moment she spoke, that Debbie was definately not originally from New York. "The accent sounds like it is from the South? I personally haven't been to that part of America, but have head nice things about it." It was true, William hadn't done much travelling, though that might be due to his siblings.

Debbie seriously wished the ground could have swallowed her after she almost choked when William asked her the question. She hadn't meant for that to happen at all. Then of course he was apologising for making her almost choke. She shook her head and smiled at him, "No, no, yer fine, I was jus', well I wasn't sure how to answer yer question tha's all." She replied and blushed, again. Maybe she should just be honest and tell him she was finding him ridiculously attractive and that no guy had got her acting her like that, ever.
However, after Debbie had said she'd like to get to know William more, he said he might as well get to know her more as well, and he smiled at her. Oh my God, the things that smile was doing to her. "Tha' sounds great to me." She replied and smiled back at him, amazed that she hadn't blushed again, because that smile of his was quite irresistible.
He then asked if she had lived in New York long, of course she hadn't. Well, not too long anyway. "Not really, a few months maybe." Debbie replied to her length of time in New York, and that was including her time in Las Vegas, before she moved back to New York again.
Of course he mentioned her accent, which she knew he would pick up on without any problem, the accent of people from the South was very strong and dominant. She smiled, "Yeah, am from the South originally, Texas actually, but ma brother had to move to New York fer his job, an' well am so close to him I asked if I could come with him an' he said yeah." She replied, answering his question and then she took a sip from her cappuccino again and another bite of muffin before continuing.
"Although, after a short while, ma brother moved to Las Vegas, I went with him, left the shop in Miles' capable hands, but I sorta felt like I was to blame fer his break up with his ex an' so I came back here. He don' blame me, but I still didn' feel righ' stayin' with him." Debbie explained some more. She wasn't sure of course how he would react to her thinking she had helped her brother split up with his ex, but Debbie still didn't think she was a bad person, just that she felt she could have handled things differently.

William was glad that they were both on the same page. He didn't like to just lead girls astray, wanting them to be feeling what he was feeling as well. So it sure looked that way with William at this point in time. He felt comfortable with Debbie, just sitting and chatting right now, but hoped that there might be something more later. Who know these days. Then Debbie smiled, and that just melted his heart. She had such a nice smile, to suit a beautiful face.
William listened to when Debbie replied to his question about how long she had been in New York. "Wow - you seem to know your way around here, and seem to be very popular at this cafe for not being here long. I, myself, have been in New York for some time, mainly looking after my siblings." Talking about siblings didn't fit into this conversation, what with they had put him through a short time ago.
As Debbie spoke about what happened with moving with her brother and all that, William took a large bite of his muffin. He listened about her brother's breakup, and how she felt it was her fault. Without thinking, William up his free hand on Debbie's, trying to reassure her somehonw. "I am sure that he has forgotten about whatever happened. I don't think he hates you or will ever blame you. These things happen. Whaterever happened, I am sure that he will move on." William didn't know if these words would help, but it was worth a try.
He looked into her eyes, looking for some kind of sign of her acknowledging what he just said. He hated seeing people sad, but knew that his life had been like that for a while. "I have been through my share of hard times, believe me, so we have something in common again maybe."

{New William banner - black n white - classy lol} {Oh, and by the way, Mich has made another brother for Katie, William and Jason}
Debbie shook her head and smiled when William exclaimed she knew her way around well for only being in New York a short time. "Well, when I say a few months, I mean, it's probably more like eight or nine months since I originally moved to New York from Texas, but yeah I guess I know ma way around well enough. Plus I've been comin' here for ma coffee breaks since I started up ma shop an' tha' was almost from the start." Debbie explained some more and smiled at him again. She sure was glad that William dropped by to help her with those shutters. This was turning out to be a really nice day.
Debbie smiled some more when William said he was in New York for some time mainly looking after his siblings. "Ah, so you've got some siblin's as well then?" Debbie asked, wondering if it were brothers or sisters he had or both.
After she had told William she blamed herself for her brother's break up, she felt his hand on her own and she immediately looked up into his eyes, holding the gaze. It was such a nice gesture, and his touch was making her tingle inside. She realised she liked his hand there, and she didn't really want him to take it away again, if she could, she would have somehow super glued it in place or something.
"I think I know yer righ', don' think there's ever been a time when Brendan's been truly mad at me." Debbie said and laughed a little after it. A brother who called his sister Princess all the time, thought the world of them and Debbie knew Brendan thought the world of her. William then went on to say he had been through his fair share of hard times and that maybe they had something else in common. "Maybe we do." She replied, and then felt like she couldn't do anything else but stare into William's sexy eyes. "Maybe..." She continued, and wondered if she should actually say it or not, actually tell him she was attracted to him or not, then she thought what harm could it do, "Maybe, we'd be good fer each other."
She didn't actually quite say she was attracted to him, she felt like she wouldn't be able to say that without blushing, but saying it the way she had, well she figured, or at least she hoped, that he would understand what she was trying to say to him.

William listened as Debbie spoke about her being in New York for almost a year - close enough to a year. Also she mentioned about coming to this cafe since the beginning. So that explains how the guy who worked here knew her. "I kind of can see why you would come here for your coffee, it is really nice." William liked a good cup of coffee, and what he was drinking was quite tasty. After Debbie finished her explanation, she smiled that warm smile she had.
"I have 4 siblings, but one recently past away. He was a twin to my only sister, Katie. We all took it pretty hard, her especially. She went off the rails abit, and is now pregnant after sleeping with a complete stranger for the second time. Actually he wouldn't be a stranger if they did it a second time, but anyway. I have an older brother, only by a year. His name is Jason Moore, and another younger brother - Zack. He lives in England, but comes to visit during our summer holidays, so will be coming to New York soon." Boy he had a lot to tell her in regards to his family. But at the moment she didn't need to know about all that now.
When William was reassuring her with his touch, Debbie locked eyes with him, keeping his gaze on her own. She then spoke, like he did in fact reassure her, which William was pleased with. Then Debbie agreed slightly with them maybe having more in common. William then felt that they truly did have some sort of connection. If he found out more about Debbie, there might be more underlying similarities, but he hoped there were differences as well. It would be boring if they liked all the same things.
As Debbie looked into his eyes, she began to speak to him again. But all she said was one word, then stopped for only a moment, and then continued. Then she said something he didn't really expect her to say. But at soon as she said it, it felt right to be said. Againg William took her hand, this time picking it up and holding it in his own. Looking into her eyes, almost whispering to her, William said, "Maybe we might be. Let's just see what the next fews days bring."
After all he had been through, William deserved some happiness. This woman might just do that for him in some way. He knew he still have to be there for his siblings, but he also knew that he also needed a social life, and this could be the starting of that for him. What seemed like an eternity, just staring into Debbie's eyes, William let go of her hand, and took the last few mouthfuls of his cappacino. "So what did you want to do now? We can chat more, or we can go somewhere else and do something?"

{By the way, I have no idea why Zach lives in England - guess Mich will know the answer to that one!}
Debbie grinned, "Yeah, the coffee is really nice here, tha's why I come here all the time, glad yer enjoyin' it William." She really did enjoy coming to this cafe, Nikos made the most wonderful coffee and food, even the ice cream was to die for. Debbie continued to smile and listened to William as he spoke about his siblings.
"Ya certainly have quite a family there, an' sorry to hear abou' yer younger brother, tha' mus'ta been a difficult time fer y'all." Debbie said, as she looked at him with sad eyes. She couldn't begin to imagine how she would feel or react if anything happened to Brendan, she'd be completely lost, of that she was certain.
"How come yer brother Zach lives in England then? Is he a bad boy an' gets sent away?" Debbie asked, "But I bet y'all lookin' forward to him comin' over." She continued with a warm smile. Then she remembered what he said about his sister Katie. "I hafta admit, I migh' go off the rails maself if anythin' ever happened to Brendan. I remember this one nigh' he got stabbed protectin' Megan, I thought he was gonna die, I was so scared, but he was jus' fine." Debbie said, trying to give some sort of explanation as to why his sister Katie went off the rails over her twin's death.
"Sorry she got herself pregnant, has she spoken to ya abou' it? I mean it migh' not have happened as clear cut as ya think?" Debbie said, wondering if maybe the pregnancy wasn't intended, actually wondering if his sister had even willingly slept with the guy a second time or not. After Debbie had said they might be good for each other, she felt William take her hand in his own again, to which she looked down at it longingly and then looked up and smiled at him as he spoke in almost a whisper that maybe they might be and to see what the next few days brought for them.
"I'd like tha' William, I'd like tha' a lot, it's been a while since a man paid me some proper attention other than Brendan, but he don' count, he's ma brother." Debbie said with a laugh again. She loved Brendan to bits, but she couldn't date him, and well sometimes there were just some things you'd rather talk about to your boyfriend than your brother.
Debbie finished up her drink and then William asked what she wanted to do now, talk more, or go do something else. She wasn't sure what the something else would be, or where it would lead to, but she liked the idea of doing both if it were possible.
"Well, why don' we go fer a walk and talk at the same time, there's a park fairly near here, we could go sit in it and talk fer a while if ya wan'?" Debbie asked, she knew the park was a lovely place to go, especially when the weather was nice like it was today, and it had a lovely pond in it full of ducks and swans, it would be awesome to see some of the evening in watching them all.

William felt like saying that it was the understatement of the year with what happened with his family. If it was anyone else, he mght have blurted it out, but seeing it was Debbie, he decided to keep the comment to himself. All of the siblings had taken it hard, but mostly Katie, as it was her twin. Though look what her change of behaviour led to. William constantly played it in his mind what he could have done differently after what had happened, but he knew that he couldn't really do anything now. What happened is now in the past. "Maybe I should talk to her. I haven't spoken to her since that night we had the argument. I constantly go over what I could have done differently, you know. But I know what has happened, has happened for a reason I suppose."
William was grateful for the time to chat to someone about it all. He couldn't talk to Jason all the time due to him being busy and all, and Zach was so far away, and he didn't want to burden him with all the problems. Though when he comes, William is sure that he will hear all about it from one of them for sure. ***"Oh Zach. Well he is travelling, and working overseas, where he is also studying at University."*** William instantly added, "And yes, we are all looking forward to him coming over to see us for the summer. It seems like it has been longer between visits, but it seems longer for me, as I only saw him only briefly last time. I was busy with my own life back then."
When Debbie talked about how she almost lost her brother, Brendan, and how she almost lost it, he nodded. "Well if anything does happen between us, I hope that Katie would trust you enough to talk to you about the situation or situations she has been in. Maybe talking to another female might make her open up more." Just thinking of them hooking up, sounded nice to William.
When the moment came, when William said that they will just have to see what the next fews days bring, Debbie's response was music to William ears. What she said made him think a lot. Surely she had had other guys who truly showed her what it meant to be love, but maybe it hadn't happened to her yet. William hoped that he would be the guy to do that. "Well that is good then. Because if he wasn't your brother, I would be jealous." Then William picked up Debbie's hand, and kissed it.
Debbie finally decided what she wanted to to. "Oh that's right. That might be better. Getting fresh air, and enjoying good conversation and company." William knew that was true. He had enjoyed sitting here with Debbie, talking, with their feelings for each other starting to emerge. William didn't hesitate in his seat. He got up, grabbing his jacket, and headed over to the counter. When Nikos came over, William smiled. "Hey. I would like to pay the bill please." Nikos smiled at William, and then Debbie. "Okay." As he tinkled on the cash register, he handed William the bill. He took out some money from his wallet, and handed it over to Nikos. "No need for change, you can keep it. Think of it as a tip for the great coffee." William then thanked Nikos, and then lead the way out of the cafe.
{Just put the bit about Zach in astricks as I am not sure of why he is over there.}

{That's fine re Zach, I have no idea why either - but it sounds good lol}
Debbie gave William a reassuring smile, "Well if ya ain't spoken since yer argument, then it migh' be a good idea, migh' do ya both good." She replied, and still smiled at him reassuringly. She then leaned her hand across the table and took William's in her own, "Ya know, ya shouldn' beat yerself up over yer sister, chances are there ain't nothin' ya could'a done. If yer sister was gonna go off the rails she'd likely have done it no matter wha' sweetie." Debbie said in a soft, reassuring voice. It must be awful for William, Debbie thought, he was such a soft soul, this must be torturing him.
"It's a real pity Zach has to study so far away, but at least y'all get to see him soon enough." Debbie replied with regards to his brother Zach not living with them in the States. For Debbie it was bad enough just having Brendan living in Las Vegas while she was here, if he stayed in another country, especially one so far away as England, she'd die.
"Well, sure, course I'd love to talk to her, an' yer righ' maybe she would open up more to a female, but still ya gotta give it a try, if ya ain't spoken since ya argued." Debbie said in a warm voice, the thought of William and herself being a couple sounded so good to Debbie. In fact, as he said those words, she felt butterflies in her stomach.
Debbie flushed furiously when William said he'd be jealous if Brendan wasn't her brother. It sounded really good to hear him say that, and she had to admit, she'd be pretty jealous if he spoke of another female who wasn't his sister. "Would ya now?" She asked in a mischievous voice, then felt her heart melt when he kissed her hand. "Well, I think I migh' get jealous if ya spoke of a female who wasn' yer sister." Debbie replied in a voice which was filled with passion. She was really feeling it with William, and she hadn't quite felt that way about a guy before.
Debbie grinned as William agreed to the walk and talk, "Couldn' agree more, good conversation an' company, sounds good to me." She replied, and stood up after William, put on her jacket and grabbed her bag and then watched as William made his way over to pay the bill. She thanked Nikos also, and he winked at her again, to which she just glared, but he laughed and so did Debbie. Once she and William were outside, she couldn't help but say to him, "I though' the coffee was ma treat cause ya helped me afore? But thanks, tha's real nice of ya." Debbie said warmly and then began to walk slowly in the direction of the park she had mentioned before.

William liked the idea that he had about Debbie maybe talking to Katie. Being a female she might listen, unlike listening and talking to her older brother. Who would want to hear it from someone you don't neccessarily want to here comments from. Though sometimes the truth hurts, and William felt that what he said to her that night might have hit home for both of them. But now that was in the past, and William seemed to be now stepping into the future, and not alone either.
William liked the sound of this woman. She seemed to be on the same wavelength as him, in regards to seeing each other with other people. But having this connection with Debbie, really did make his life begin to start on a happier note. He deserved to be happy, what with all that had happened. He deserved to also love someone, other than his siblings. Someone he could tell more things, more intimate things about himself.
When they made their way outside, William held the door open for Debbie, and then closed it behind them. They were only outside for a second when Debbie spoke about thinking it was her treat for the coffee. "Well, I know that, but felt that I should pay. You listened to all of my problems, making them seem distant now. So it was the least I could do." As they walked in the direction of the park, William inhaled the air, and then exhaled quietly. He truly loved this time of night. There wasn't any hustle or bustle of people on the streets. Though it was not always the safest.
When they stopped at the corner of the street to cross it, William, without thinking, slowly grabbed a hold of Debbie's hand. He then looked to see if there were no cars, and led the way across the road. Holding her hand felt natural somehow, her skin righ next to his. Even when they crossed the road, and walked passed more shops, William did not let go of her hand. He turned to look at Debbie, and smiled warmly at her. "This is nice, the walk to the park."

Debbie was now truly beginning to think something would develop between herself and William. He seemed the type of guy she needed in her life, what was more, he seemed to be very similar to Brendan, and she'd always thought that if she was going to have a man in her life, one whom she might settle with, he'd be a lot like Brendan. The only major difference she felt there might be, was Brendan was possibly a little more tougher than William, but she dare say that he would be just as protective over her as Brendan is.
The park wasn't so far away from Nikos' café, but it was enough distance to give them a good walk, and in the pleasant warm air, it was a real treat to walk to the park. What was more, she wasn't walking to the park alone, like she had done numerous times before moving to New York from Texas all those months ago.
When Debbie had joked about the coffee being her treat, she smiled warmly at William's response. "Well, listenin' to ya was part of the deal fer thankin' ya in my eyes. An' it was a pleasure to listen to ya William, ya can talk to me any time ya wan'." Debbie replied and then went into her bag and wrote down her number on a piece of notepad paper and handed it to William. "Ma mobile number, ya can contact me any time ya wan'." She said with a warm smile.
As they were about to cross the road, Debbie felt William take her hand, and she couldn't help but look up at him and give him a glowing smile, and her thumb began caressing his hand without her even realising she was doing it. He continued to hold her hand as they continued to walk, which she was glad about, as she liked the feel of his hand in her own and she didn't want him to stop.
When William commented that the walk to the park was nice, Debbie smiled back at him. "Yeah it's real nice, an' the fact I got such handsome company helps an' all." Debbie said softly, as she looked up into his face and smiled again. She didn't care anymore what she said, she was only telling the truth anyway. She was glad she had met William this evening. Somebody up there must have been looking out for her tonight, because they sure sent her an angel.
{OMG that last line was so cheesy LMAO}

As they kept walking, William put his hand in his pocket, where Debbie's number on the piece of paper now resided. He made a mental note to give her his when they sat, he didn't want to let go of her hand right now. When Debbie told him that the walk was nice, and mention the company, William half laughed. "Well, thanks for the compliment. I was hoping for something around maybe someone who would scare off any possible attackers, but that will do." William didn't know why he said that, but he tried to make a job, though didn't sound that great.
So as to quickly get passed it, he smiled back, and wondered what was going through her mind right now. If it was anything like what he was going through in his own, William hoped that this time spent would be a positive thing for both of them. Soon enough in the distance, there was the park. It was quite open, with many trees, benches, and a small playground set in the background.
The night was getting on, but William still knew he had no where else to be. He just felt that it was right for him to be hear with Debbie. Maybe it was fate telling him something. Was it his time to maybe finally meet someone and settle down in long last. Only time would tell. There were a few benches around the outskirts of the park, but William hoped that there might be more just inside, where they could be alone and talk.
Turning to Debbie, before they entered the park, William asked. "Do you mind if we sit inside the park, instead of on the outskirts? I don't want to be interrupted by ...," William didn't want to mention about the homeless people, he frequently saw around different parks. "... um, you know the homeless people. I know that they like to crash in parks. I just want to have time to chat more." William wondered if Debbie would think he was strange or something for mentioning that.
{I hope you didn't mind that I described the park.}

{Nope I didn't mind you describing the park } Debbie had to playfully roll her eyes but smiled, when William said he was expecting her to mention him scaring off possible attackers. But when she thought about it, he would be good for that as well. She winked and grinned at him before turning and speaking, "Well ya know, tha' works an' all." Debbie was really enjoying her time with William. William then gave her that smile and Debbie felt her heart melting all over again. It didn't take long for them to reach the park and when they did, Debbie could see that it looked just as pretty as it always did. At this time however, even though it was still pleasant, Debbie knew it wouldn't be as busy as it would have been earlier in the day. She was thankful for that, it would give her William more time to talk more hopefully. When William asked if they could sit inside the park as opposed to the edge of it, Debbie couldn't agree more. It would be nicer to sit further into the park anyway. A little further into the park there was a duck pond and Debbie liked watching the swim around, she often found it very therapeutic. "Sounds good to me William, there's a duck pond a little further in, we could sit on a bench by the pond, I sure love to watch the ducks swimmin' around." Debbie replied as she continued to walk further into the park holding William's hand, her thumb still caressing his hand. A few minutes later they were at the pond. "There it is, oh an' look, there's swans an' all this time." Debbie said with joy in her voice, "Don' they look so graceful?" She said, and sat down on the bench looking toward the pond. She then began to wonder, since there was nobody really around, if she should tell him about herself. If they were going to go anywhere, it was best he knew now about her ability than find out later by accident and possibly be shocked or not want to know. "Uhm, William, there's somethin' abou' me ya should probably know." She said, and left it at that for the moment, so she could see what William's initial reaction would be.

William was glad that Debbie agreed to go a bit further into the park. And when she mentioned that there was a duck pond, William instantly replied. "Very good. I truly haven't really seen one since my childhood. We used to through bread crumbs to the ducks, when we would go on walks to the park. It feels like a million years ago." Just thinking about those days, it was nice. More happier times in those days.
The way Debbie was caressing his hand, it was nice. He didn't know if it was something she often did, or if it was just something she had started with him, but it felt nice. As they walked through the park, William seemed to notice a couple of people walk past them, in pairs. It must have been the nice for night time walks with loved ones. But with William and Debbie, they were only just getting to know each other. Maybe that was why it was much more special.
They were soon at the pond, and here was where Debbie got excited. Just hearing her talking about the pond, and what was there to greet them, he seemed to like. William followed her to the bench, which looked on at the pond. "They look like they haven't got a care in the world as they float along on the water." He wished that it was that easy to forget your troubles.
Debbie began to talk to William, who instantly looked away from the pond, and turned his attention to her. When she said that she had something to tell him about herself. William wondered what it was. He hoped that she didn't have a boyfriend, or yet was married, though didn't see a ring on either hand. She didn't say anything after that sentence, and William then decided to respond verbally. "Debbie, you can tell me anything. I know I am still a stranger in some ways, but I am open to whatever you have to tell me."
