Fred knew that she had to be blushing again after Giles had paid her one the nicest compliments she had ever heard. Most people didn't care that she was smart, and she hadn't ever received really many compliments about her looks. Charles had, of course, but he had sort of thrown it over his shoulder that one time. The way Giles said it was...different and nice and made her feel warm inside and out, especially when he touched her face at the same time.
"The...uh...the menu would be would probably be good," she managed to say even though she felt a bit disappointed when Giles moved away to get it. She liked how his hand felt against her cheek. Shaking her head, she turned to look back out through the window and leaned her forehead against the glass while watching the streets down below. Geez, Fred, you're acting like a schoolgirl with a crush. You just met the man.
He thought she was beautiful, though, and he hadn't run screaming from the room when she had babbled and said she thought he was attractive. He had touched her cheek. The feelings were obviously mutual, even if they had to be careful about things, considering that she was here for a job interview. Of course, that didn't mean that they still couldn't have a nice dinner and get to know each other. Who knew what might happen if things went well and she got the job.
Smiling, she lifted her head from the window when he came back and took the menu from him to look over. Some of the items on the menu sounded a bit strange, like steak and kidney pie, but there was so much else available that she almost couldn't decide.
"Ummm...I'm not much for really fancy meals, so the grilled chicken sounds good. Comes from growing up on a farm, I think," she told him.
