She glanced down at her phone as it chimed to inform her of a new received message, holding it up for his inspection with a playful roll of her eyes as she playfully confided, "Ugh, it's this guy. He's totally into me." Grinning, she quickly read his text, nodding slowly and looking back at him with a wide grin dimpling her cheeks. She was certainly glad that he was being so receptive of her tactics. Some guys were entirely put-off by women who were only half as straightforward as she was, but luckily Alex was not one of them. Reaching around to put her phone back in her bag, she rummaged for a few seconds before pulling her hand back out, her keyring now dangling from her middle finger. "And eight sounds good to me." She would have said 'great', but didn't at the risk of sounding stupid when she rhymed.
A laugh bubbled from her lips at his last question, sporting a brow in his direction and offering him a scandalized look. "First I have to make all the moves, now I have to plan everything, too?" But of course she wasn't serious, and immediately averted her gaze to the ceiling, one eye closing with the strain of going through every Seattle spot she knew that might serve as a decent place to go with him. She finally thought of something though, because she made a little 'aha!' sort of noise and brought her attention back to his face. "Ok, so why don't we do this. Have you ever been to the Alibi Room? It's like this cute little restaurant slash bar place downtown. We can meet up here around eight, your one generous contribution to this plan, go there, and after that we can play it by ear. That way, if we end up hating each other, we can just end the date after dinner without having to make up a lame excuse." She smirked and jangled her keys noisily against her palm, raising both eyebrows as she awaited his reaction to this plan.
