Benjamin smiled and hugged her lightly. "Thank you, your outfit is very nice too," he said. He stepped back, "so I hope you have picked a lovely place for my last breakfast in London," he said softly.

Carly smiled, leading him outside of the hotel, toward the tube entrance. "Yes I promise you will enjoy it, it's really tasty" she said with a smile, glancing over at him repeatedly. She blushed slightly as she thought of their phone conversation from the night before.

Benjamin grinned, "well I'm glad, I hope you don't regret last night," he commented. He still couldn't believe how far it had gotten, but had enjoyed every minute.

@ Aoibhe

Carly smiled at him, glancing down at her heels. "No not at all Benjamin, I enjoyed it" she said and gave his arm a little squeeze to reassure him. "I'm going to miss speaking with you" she said a little sadly, looking up at him again.she wondered what they looked like to on-lookers, would people think they are a sweet couple, odd.. or just see them as two work colleagues?

Benjamin smiled, "I'm going to miss talking to you," he said lightly. He walked with her towards the tube, 'I'm considering getting a cell phone, so we can talk occasionally," he admitted. He was worried though that they would stop writing if he got one. "I just don't want us to stop writing," he added.

@ Aoibhe

Carly glanced at him happily "you would get a cellphone, just to talk to me?" She asked with a soft laugh. "Well I feel special. And of course I won't stop writing! I really enjoyed writing to you" she said honestly. There was a certain magic in receiving a letter, especially when it was coming from somebody like Benjamin.

@ A Drop On the Window

Benjamin blushed lightly, "yeah I was considering it, I haven't made the leap yet though," he admitted. He looked her over, "I'm glad you'll keep writing, maybe I'll get one for special occasions," he suggested.

@ Aoibhe

Carly smiled "I'd really like for you to get one, I enjoy writing, but I like hearing your voice too" she said with a gentle smile as the tube pulled up. She jumped on, pulling him with him. The train was almost full, but she spotted a seat about halfway down the train. "You want to sit or are you alright standing?" She asked.

@ A Drop On the Window

Benjamin smiled and thought about it for a moment. "I'll tell you what, how about we go together after breakfast and you help me pick one out, but only if you promise to only call me after a minimum of three letters, or on special occasions," he said lightly. He stepped into the train, squeezing in close to her, "I'm okay standing," he said.

@ Aoibhe

Carly smiled brightly "that sounds great" she told him happily with a laugh. "I think I can agree to those terms. So when is your birthday?" She asked him, pressing her body against his a little more than she needed to, knowing she could blame it on the crowded train.

@ A Drop On the Window

Benjamin smiled softly enjoying her closeness. "Good I'm glad," he said softly. He paused for a moment considering whether to tell her, "Next month, the twelfth," he told her lightly. He blushed softly, 'I'm not telling you how old I'll be," he added.

@ Aoibhe

Carly ppouted overdramatically, looking up at him. "That's no fair, you know how old I am" she teased before glancing up at the tube map. "This is our stop" she said, slipping her hand in to his again as the train stopped and she pulled him off and in to the streets. "Have you ever been in Covent garden before?"

@ A Drop On the Window

Benjamin smirked softly, "well I might tell you one day,' he said lightly. He followed her out onto the streets. "I'm afraid not, I never was a big city guy," he admitted lightly. He put his arm over her shoulder, "but I like trying new things with you," he said,

@ Aoibhe

Carly smirked as he put an arm over her shoulder, she could feel it wasn't something he was used to doing, and she sort of enjoyed that fact. She was new to him, maybe special. "I'm glad I make you feel that way" she said with a gentle laugh, before opening the door to the French cafe. Immediately they were hit by a wall of warmth, a smell of freshly baked pastries and cinnamon in the air. "Is this okay for you?" She asked.

@ A Drop On the Window

Benjamin smiled brightly, "I glad that you talked me into do some promotion," he said softly. He stepped into the restaurant, "Yeah I'm fine with crowds, just don't use my last name," he reminded her. He liked having some anonymity when he was in crowds. He walked in looking for someone to seat them, or a free table.

@ Aoibhe

Carly nodded softly and stepped forward, waving at a waitress to get attention. "Bonjour, ça va? Une table pour doux personne" Carly said softly, her voice delicate. "oui! Assez les finnetre cest bon magnifiqe!" She said happily and lead Benjamin to the table the waitress had given them. "I took French as part of my degree" she said with a soft laugh.

@ A Drop On the Window

Benjamin smiled and pulled her seat out for her. "I can tell, its a beautiful language, I regret not learning it," he said softly. He sat down across from her, "wow Carly, I'm glad we finally get to have a date not about work at all," he said lightly. He blushed as his eyes wondered towards the opening in her shirt.

@ Aoibhe

Carly thanked him and took a seat, her eyes watching him as he sat across from her. "I'm glad too,. Really enjoying getting to know you Benjamin, it really has been a pleasure" she told him, and extended her hand out to him over the table, gently placing it on top of his. She noticed him glancing down at her chest and blushed slightly, wondering if it made him think of last night.

@ A Drop On the Window

Benjamin took her hand holding it lightly, "I would say the same thing about getting to know you," he said. He looked around at the place, "so tell me, how often do you get out of London?" he asked her. He was considering maybe inviting her around to see him, but he also wondered whether she'd eventually make that bold move herself, after all she knew his postal address, she could find the village.

@ Aoibhe

Carly shrugged "not too often I guess.. I grew up in Chelsea, so my parents don't live too far from here, I guess other than holidays and when I was in college I don't leave the city too often" she admitted."I would really like to go travelling eventually though, have you ever been travelling?" She asked him softly.
