CUTE, CHARMING, ECCENTRIC, all these attributes were just screaming at her as her smile widened. Though patiently she waited for a reply her legs straight, arms crossed loosely at her wrists. Carmella pushed her hair back behind her ear. She had his full attention no matter how long it was going to take for him to reply. “You have till the 14th Sami, so don’t sweat about it just now, nothing crazy. Just flowers and I will love it. I promise.”

“Though I could stay for a pickup line, I’m listening.”

           ^{He’s enjoying this, enjoying this banter, enjoying the grin perking on her lips, and he’s genuinely surprise by the woman’s show of immense patience; it’s evident in his face, in the way his lips pull and his eyes settle. He was also grateful because anyone else would’ve given up and got annoyed with his nervousness.   He nods, taking a moment to chuckle at what he had in mind before he actually said it,       “Uh… well, I discovered that something’s wrong with me so I went to the doctors, a-and they said I’m lacking Vitamin U.”      He feels the heat rising up to his face again, and reluctantly so, his gaze averted to his thumbs that began twiddling as an act of sheepishness.}

  “Yes but don’t over-stress yourself.” Looking at him right now she could have sworn that she herself saw the gears turning around and around in his head. Carmella found it cute, and a little admirable coming from Sami. “If anything, I have an absolute bad thing for flowers. The better smelling ones the better.”

       ^{Sami blinks at her, a bit longer than ANTICIPATED before he notices he hadn’t said anything  (   a habit needed to break away from )  however, a dry throat yearns MOISTURE; whilst the ginger promptly swallows  —- hard. He’s soon found with the predicament of not finding a single thing to SAY, the giddiness he felt ROBBED Sami of his words. He clearly hadn’t gotten the GIST of being a Valentine         probably because he’d never been one, though it didn’t hurt to try.           “S-sorry, ‘mella. I don’t have anything to give you right now BUT I will get something and it’ll be a surprise! You’ll love it, trust me!”   He flashes a sheepish grin, rubbing at the back of his neck.      “For now, can I interest you in a pickup line?”}

          ^{Normally, he would usually be giddy about this type of stuff, but he felt a great amount of comfort around Carmella         probably because they’ve known and been friends with each other for so long.  It was nothing but a cakewalk to her when it comes to the flirty stuff, with a smile of charm and a  FIRM VOICE.  Sami had never been the smoothest when it came to admitting his feelings to people  —-  or when it came to romance in general.  Smiling, Sami rubbed the back of his neck and gave a shrug.   “Of course. Your timing couldn’t have been better because I was just heading out to get lunch  -—  you wanna join me?  Treating you was what I was supposed to do for this valentine thingy, right?”}

       ^{Seconds passed in uncomfortable silence as Sami debated whether or not keeping the secret was a good idea. He couldn’t keep his mouth shut when something big happened.  It probably was best to refrain himself this time…Carmella was a dangerous woman, and who knows what she might do if she heard the news was spreading around?   A hesitant nod,       “A-alright.”}
