A Night Out (Emilie Swan)

[emilie]

After Matt compared Emilie to Beyonce instead of Mariah Carey, the diva she had mentioned she had replied to him quite happy with the comparison. Well for one Beyonce was one of her favourite singers and she had a figure to die for, so being compared to Beyonce was quite something. When Matt said in what she had to assume was a joking manner that it was his duty to serve and protect the egos of people worldwide she had to laugh a little, joining in with Matt’s own chuckling. When he bowed Emilie couldn’t help but smile and did a half curtsey like she was facing the Queen of England. “Well Sir, it is certainly very noble of you to do such a thing and if I may be allowed to say, it is very good to know that there are people like you around who are willing to serve and protect our egos.” She had put on the best English accent she could muster before falling into deep laughter.

Matt had then, struggling with his words the first time, asked her out on a lunch date. Maybe she shouldn’t have been so quick to say yes, after everything she had been through in her past couple of years, but with Matt being a special like her she honestly didn’t see what harm it would have done, and besides everybody needed friends. So when Matt had said that it was sweet and then suggested the Saturday and where to meet, Emilie smiled and leaned in toward him more. “Just to let you know, I wouldn’t normally just say yes like that, not after everything I’ve been through, but you’re like me, and something tells me I can trust you.” She had no idea why she felt she could trust him, but something somewhere said she could. She then decided to answer his question about the Saturday and his suggestion of a place to meet.

“Saturday is fine babe; I do very little at the weekends, especially during the day.” She then thought some more about the location, she couldn’t see a problem with that either, “And meeting at the Washington Memorial sounds good to me. So it’s a...” She trailed off and took a sip of her drink before continuing, “...date then?” She raised her eyebrow slightly and just smiled at him. She wondered what her father would think of her agreeing to a date like she just had given how she was when he had found her and helped get her back on her feet, but she knew that her dad loved people like them, specials, so he probably wouldn’t have too much of a problem with it.

Matt just laughed along side with Emilie as she thanked him in her mock British tone. He found her funny. Not as a mocking sort of funny. But just funny. However when she replied to Matt's request for a lunch date, saying that she was only seeing him because he was like her, Matt felt that was a little disrepectful in terms of people without abilities were no different to those with abilities. However when she said he was something she could trust, he just smiled.
"Another thing we have in common." He said with a smile.

Matt just nodded as Emilie confirmed their date on Saturday and Matt smiled when she finished.
"You sure you don't have super memory or something in there too?" Matt asked her as he smiled at her, pulling out his flipbook and a pen, writing down his number and e-mail. He passed the paper to Emilie, smiling at her.
"So... I'll see you on Saturday..." Matt said to her, looking to the exit and then back to her.
"Hope you don't mind if I jet out of here." He said with a smile as he turned around and with a quick burst of speed he zoomed out of the bar.

Emilie was glad her mock English accent got Matt laughing, as that was what she had been aiming for. He had seemed so tense and down when he had first came into the bar and now he seemed like a different person, although in truth, Emilie still really didn’t know him, he could have a few dark secrets in his closet for all she knew. Not that she would say no to finding out, alright so he was a little rude to her at the beginning, but she just put that down to the fact he had been worked too hard recently and even she could get a bit pissed off when she hadn’t had a decent break away from working in the bar, even if she was grateful to her father for giving her a new start in life. Emilie still wondered though if she would ever be tempted to go back to the way she was when Gary had found her, she hoped she wouldn’t, but sometimes the temptations were just too great.

Emilie hadn’t meant anything bad toward people with no abilities when she said she had only said yes to him because he was like her, but Matt didn’t know her previous experiences with people with no abilities, so that was always at the back of her mind, and made her take longer to trust people who were normal. Maybe she would be able to tell Matt about that one day. Emilie then said there was just something she could trust about him, he smiled and said that was another thing they had in common, so he obviously felt he could trust her as well, which was good, seeing how both of them only got talking about an hour ago. “Well, I’m glad you feel the same way Matt.”

When Matt asked if she had super memory she shook her head, “Sadly no, that’s not one power I’ve been lucky enough to land yet.” She then watched as Matt took out a notepad and started writing down his number and email passing it over to her. She smiled as she took it from him, “Thanks Matt, I’ll make sure to contact you one way or another soon.” How soon she wasn’t sure, she didn’t want to appear over eager. She then tore the piece of paper in half he had just given her and reached for a pen under the bar and wrote down her own number and email and passed it back to him with a grin and a slight wink, “Just in case you happen to get in first.”

Matt then said he would see her on Saturday and looked at the exit door before turning back to face her. When he spoke asking if she minded if he jetted out, she shook her head, “Of course not and yes, you will see me on Saturday.” With that Emilie watched as he sped out of the bar, leaving a slight wind in his wake, where some beer mats flipped off of tables and the looks on some of the customer’s faces was a funny sight to see as they were obviously trying to figure out where the wind came from and Emilie went back to talking to Paddy who was still there and had beckoned her the minute Matt had left asking her all about the suave guy and was that her getting herself a boyfriend, Emilie just playfully slapped him on the arm and giggled.

{ooc - you can let me know when you've read it and I can archive it, unless you feel you can do more, but I doubt it, I just couldn't leave it at Matt's post lol}
