Maggie didn't voice this thought, however. Instead she smiled and nodded casually. "Well, I really wanna go some day." She commented, her tone suggesting that they could move on to a different topic now.
Which didn't mean he shouldn't REMEMBER what she'd just told him. Might be...useful. Ahem.
Her lips curled into an amused smirk as she met his gaze again. "Reeeeeaally?" Was that a challenge? Although he did have a higher chance at 'winning' this one, seeing as there were outside forces influencing her decision too. Maggie did want to see him try though. Heh. "If I do go, you should just come visit though." Like Kaycee and Dante had last summer.
Maggie's head was bowed slightly, seeing as she was watching her fingers comb through her hair. So when she looked at Zeke again it was through her lashes. "Thank you." She knew she did but it was very nice for him to say so anyway. He was looking good too, but since compliments were FOR girls she didn't say so. Brushing all her curls to one side she eventually stopped playing with her hair and raised her head again. Okay. So. The menu.
'The cake' wasn't exactly very helpful so she just stared down at her menu for a long moment. "Which one?" Maggie asked, clearly a little overwhelmed by the selection of cakes. Maybe she should have prepared herself for this part of the date too. Oops. But then again, she was sitting here with an expert when it came to cakes so surely Zeke could help her out. Who was paying today. Which she had expected. Like, this was a date after all. Still she gave him a grateful smile.
... and Maggie was entitled to go to France, if that was really what she wished. It was a free country after all. Zeke put a finger to the menu, running it down to double check they hadn't added anything new he might want to try. But, the more time that passed, the more he wondered if Maggie had been dropping a hint? She wanted to go to France. He went to France annually. Was it too soon to invite her? He'd wait on it.
But then she had the audacity to question his persuasiveness. "Well, I managed to get you to be my girlfriend," he supplied, a smirk lighting his features. So yes, REALLY. Persuasion was something he was under the impression he did well. He would be able to find a way to keep her, so long as she still wanted to be with him of course. He wouldn't be able to fight for her if she wasn't going to have a bar of him. Losing battles were not his thing. Then again, her alternative wasn't bad. Was that an invitation? "Try and stop me." He'd find a way to be there if it came to it.
She was very welcome too, because there was no denying he'd lucked out. Of all the people at their school, she was here with him... it was brilliant.
Her question snapped him from his thoughts, and peering down at the menu he considered their options. "I'd say it depends on what you like, but seeing as you're not a cake person..." yet, "how about we get you, a carrot cake, they're quite good and you can try some of mine too." And if he was sure she wouldn't give him weird looks, he would probably order one of everything. Making choices was for chumps, there didn't NEED to be an opportunity cost where cake was concerned.
