"Oh, I see." Reina nodded, figuring it was a stupid question on her own side. Of course Mr. Roman was a busy man, but still she would have figured that the other male would have possibly met somebody when he had be younger. Possibly a woman who he would have liked to settle down with. It was a sad though to think about the other with another woman, but she was glad knowing that Roman wasn't taken and that she had a chance to be with him. However, the girl realized that their relationship wouldn't be as traditional as any other couple that was currently dining in the same restaurant as them. "Well I guess it would have been an awkward situation if I didn't like you." She mused, "Had you confessed and I didn't like you I supposed there would have been some issues." Reina frowned, and was about to say something but the food had arrived and she felt her stomach growl at her. The spaghetti looked very good and she thank the waitress before letting her go tend to other tables. Reina followed suit and place a napkin over her lap like she did when she was at home. "Yes, it looks and smells heavenly! I haven't eaten since lunch!" She exclaimed as she eagerly picked up her fork and began to eat the meal by picking up the spaghetti with a fork and then proceeded to spin it on a spoon before placing it into her mouth. "Delizioso." She hummed after swallowing before giggling at the other's comment. "Well of course, takeout couldn't compare to this." Reina continued to eat, looking up at the other occasionally. Sometimes she would extend her leg to touch the other's foot as she would sometimes do during her tutoring, but this time she would let her foot linger instead of making it seem like an accident. The teen blushed slightly, hoping the other didn't mind her touching him as they ate.

Woman. Roman had called her a woman and that made her heart beat just a little bit faster as it filled with a blissful feeling. "I don't think you're a pervert. You're anything but that!" She replied, allowing the male to push her hair and caress her face. "I only cried because I thought I had messed up everything with you..." Reina confessed, looking down at the table with a small frown as she remembered that feeling of rejection. She had honestly thought that things wouldn't have been the same between them anymore and that she wouldn't be able to spend time with him. That was all in the past though, and they were both sitting there together about to enjoy a delicious meal as a... couple? Reina blushed at the thought of them labeling eachother as boyfriend and girlfriend which caused her to feel butterflies in her stomach. Just what were they exactly? Reina didn't catch the slip up and just nodded to the other's words. "I understand." Reina hadn't been thinking too far in the future as far as love was concerned. If anything she hadn't been thinking about love to begin with-- that was until she met Mr. Roman on the first day of her senior year and they began to to become closer through Roman's tutoring. Reina shook her head, "Of course you're worth it! I've never met anyone like you so when I thought of possibly losing you it hurt..." She confessed, pouting at the older man. "Though, I would have thought you had a girlfriend already anyways. I'm surprised you don't have one."

Reina couldn't help but smile shyly at the other's reaction to her Italian. "Oh, it wasn't much, really." She became bashful, hiding half of her face with her hand to stop the other from seeing her blush. "I learned it from my mother since she is a 3rd generation Italian born in America. So it kinda has gone down the line with each generation." She explained, but shook her head, "If anything I should be impressed with you! Latin is a much harder language." Reina already could pretty much learn most of the romance languages but Latin felt like it was it's own different language sometimes. Reina would then call over the waitress, placing in her order before looking over at Roman so that he could place in his order. Once everything was set and down she turned to look at him and gave him a small smile. "You know... I was very scared of confessing to you." Reina recalled back to the moment they were in earlier, remembering the hurt she felt from almost being rejected by Roman. "I'm glad things worked out the way they did."

Reina smiled, giggling at the other's comment. "I'm not that smart." She retorted, kicking her feet lightly. "Come exam time you better not give me a better grade just because you like me. Others might get the wrong impression." She said as a tease, but there was some seriousness behind her words. It was true that if out of the blue that she started getting better grades that some students might get the wrong idea. It wasn't like she had a bad reputation as it was. Some other students didn't like her and if they were caught together some speculation might arise that she was sleeping with Mr.Roman for better grades. That's why it was even more important for her to be graded equally or even harder than her peers. "Lets not talk about school now, though." She added, wanting to spend the time with Roman as a woman and a man who were attracted to one another. Not as student and teacher.

When the waitress came around she accepted the menu with a 'Thanks' and began to look for the meal she usually ordered when she came. The waitress was a little bit more casual than the ones that usually served her, but Reina just figured that the woman was a new worker. "I told you, and you should try some of their garlic bread! It is to die for." The teen hummed as she looked through the menu. The restaurant wasn't a fancy restaurant but it was above average and that's why Reina liked coming. It was good food away from the annoying rich adults that went to the fancy places her parents usually took her. Her parent's weren't wealthy enough to be considered millionares, but they did own a large 2 story home and had some help around the house. It never occurred to her that Roman wasn't part of her world in that sense. Never in a thousand years did she think that it would become a blessing or a curse to have been born with a silver spoon in her mouth when it came to love.

When Roman called out to her, she nodded and spoke, "I'm going to get Spaghetti a la Puttanesca." She said, pronouncing the words fluently. Reina was actually part Italian from her mother's side of the family and she had learned how to speak it from her and relatives that would visit often when she was younger.

Reina's eyes lit up when Roman mentioned the piano. "Oh really? You should definitely play something for me one day! I bet it would sound lovely if you spent so much time with it." She hummed, placing her hands together. Just then Reina spotted the restaurant they were heading to and pointed it out to the other. The teen quietly followed her teacher into the restaurant as he took the lead and placed a reservation for the both of them. The girl could tell that the waitress seemed uneasy, but she just blew it off and focused on her date for the evening. "The food here is very good." She added as they both walked through the the tables filled with people who were well dressed and couples whom were enjoying eachother's company. Suddenly her hand was grabbed, and when the strong hand that was holding her's intertwined with her own delicate fingers, she couldn't help but blush. "M-Mr.." She started, her voice being hushed as the man explained. "I supposed you're right." She giggled, moving her body closer to his as they continued.

Once they got to their table, Reina took her seat and took off the jacket to place it on the back of the chair since the restaurant was warm. Reina began to fix her hair, pushing the neat curls closer to her head to help them keep their form. Once she was settled, she looked at Roman with a smile, her hands neatly placed on her lap as she listened. The teen couldn't help but pout at the question thrown her way. Was Roman that worried about her reasoning why she liked him? Honestly, she had never really thought of why she liked him, but she knew that she was very attracted to the older man. "I..." She started, pushing some of her hair behind her pierced ear. "Well it started after about 4 weeks. I just really liked you and you were always so kind to me. Plus you're very intelligent and besides most of the boys my age are complete idiots." She started, her disdain for others clearly showing out in her choice of words. "I mean I don't know if you've noticed or not but I am pretty mature for my age and those other kids don't know what responsibility is. They just joke around and act like they can get everything they want just because of their position or name." It was true that some of the kids that attended the private school did come from wealthy families and it would have been logical and beneficial to her to marry one of those boys.

Reina sighed, looking down at her hands, "To be honest I don't want anything to do with those boys. They could never give me what you have... You just have this air about you and I was just drawn to it." She explained, smiling as she ran a finger over her manicured hands. "I don't necessarily love you, but I do admire you in a way, and you make me happy."

Reina pouted slightly as the other began to roll up the sleeves to fit her better. It felt like she was being treated like a child, but she let it slide as they began their journey down the block. Reina at times would move closer to the other male, wanting to be in a more intimate position, but she knew that it would be risky even outside of school. At least to others it would look like Roman was walking with a niece or maybe a younger sister. If only she looked older it wouldn't have been a problem. Sighing to herself, Reina would just settle with what they had now. When her hand would brush the other's she would smile, relishing at the small touch. Occasionally she would do it on purpose just to feel him. Humming as the other spoke up, Reina looked up and smiled softly when her hair was gently caressed. "There really isn't much to say about me... I guess one thing I could say is that... I like to collect antiques." She said, placing a delicate manicured finger on her chin in a thinking manner. "What about you? Do you have something interesting about yourself?"

With a giggle, the teen shook her head slightly and said, "I think you look fine, Mr,Roman." It was going to take a bit of getting used to, to call the other by his official name now, but when she caught herself she just covered her mouth with her hand. When the plan was decided she nodded her head and pulled the jacket tighter around her smaller frame and just as she was about to move, the older male had leaned down and placed a kiss on her forehead. Reina was frozen in place for a moment, a blush warming her cheeks as she quietly nodded to Roman before walking off quickly to avoid her embarrassment from being shown. Once she found her car, she slipped in and had a mini freak out over the events that had just unfolded. Here she was sitting in her car, wrapped in her crush's jacket, about to drive off to get some food and spend time with him other than learning about Latin.

When she was buckled into her seat, and made her way to the front of the school and met up with her teacher's car. The car itself wasn't nice like her's but she didn't pay any mind to it. If anything she thought it was kind of school. Reina had always been attracted to things that were less than perfect, or not "normal" because it reminded her of herself in a way. Once they were ready she lead the way to the restaurant downtown and parked a block away from the restaurant. They were going to have to walk since she didn't see any parking in front of the store. Looking outside she saw that Roman was making his way to her car and before she could open the door herself, he was already doing it for her. "Thank you." She said happily, grabbing her purse from the passenger seat before getting out of the car. "The restaurant is a block from here down that way." She explained, beginning to get off of the street as she pushed a button on her key chain to lock her car. Reina was still wearing roman's jacket, having had put her arms through the sleeves. It was a bit big on her, but she didn't care too much about that. She was just happy to be able to wear it.

"Oh... Okay, David." She said, letting her teacher's name roll off her tongue for the first time. "That's kinda weird to say, I think I might just stick to Roman." She giggled, her hand grasping the leather strap of her briefcase like bookbag. "That sounds wonderful to me," She said, moving slightly closer to the older male. With that the two of them were off, walking together side-by-side and Reina wouldn't have it any other way. It was a bit sad that she couldn't hold Roman's hand, but she would wait until it was the right time. For now things were at a content level. Once outside, the cold wind blew against her body, causing her to shiver because of the lack of clothe she had on for the weather. "Oh wow it's cold. I didn't expect it to be this cold." She muttered quietly before a warm coat was place upon her shoulders. Looking up, Reina gave Roman a smile and huddled up even more into the warmth. It smelled just like her teacher, and she couldn't help but let out a blissful sigh. "You're right, that would be a horrible thing to happen." She nodded before reaching into her sweater's pocket to retrieve her own keys. Reina drove a model of the year car, in a shiny black color that her parents had given to her for passing her SATs and ACTs with high scores.

"Oh I parked it up by the front. I don't really like going to the back where all the annoying people are." She explained, rolling her eyes a bit at some of the antics she had encountered the first couple of times she was forced to park in the back of the school. Reina hummed to herself, wondering what she was in the mood to eat. "I know a nice authentic italian place not too far from here. We can get something there? I kinda want to eat some spaghetti. Besides, my mother would kill me if she knew I was eating fast food." She laughed a little, reminding herself of the diet her mother put her on. At home they only ate together two or three times a week, but her mother made it known that she did not want her daughter to eat fatty foods that would make her fat. After all no man wanted an ugly girl. though she had her mother to thank for her appearance now. If it wasn't for her she probably wouldn't go to the gym and eat healthy foods. "It's near downtown, do you know where it is?" She asked, the restaurant she was talking about was one of the more expensive choices of foods, but to her it wasn't too terribly expensive. After all her father was a doctor and her mother a secretary to a very good lawyer.
