Adrian smiled at her. She was gorgeous, as usual. He's not good at this sort of thing, he's well aware of that. Pearls reminds him often of it, so it's not like he could forget. The dating thing. Girls sort of fall into and out of his life and he's never really taken any control of that before.
Now he actually wants to and is sort of at a loss as to how to do that, exactly. Some innate guy instinct tells him to buy her pretty things, but from what he gathered, Quinn (and yes, he has problems with this guy already and hasn't even really met him) spoils her rotten. So he wasn't so keen on that idea. Which left him back where he started.
Not that he minds where they are exactly, but there are words like commitment and dating that Pearls throws at him. And he doesn't know what to DO with those words.
